Me and Mr Darcy: The feel-good love story from the author of Confessions of a Forty-something F##k Up which captured a million hearts
About this audiobook
Heard for the first time in audio, this story is read brilliantly by Kathryn Drysdale (Bridgeton, St. Trinian's)
From Alexandra Potter, author of the bestselling Confessions of a Forty-Something F##k Up, dreams come true in Me and Mr Darcy – a fun, feel-good fairy tale about life, love and dating literature's most eligible bachelor!
Every girl is looking for her Mr Darcy. Imagine if you found the real one.
After a string of nightmare relationships, Emily's had it with modern-day men. She'd rather pour herself a glass of wine and curl up with Pride and Prejudice and her beloved Mr Darcy. So what if he’s a fictional hero?
Faced with spending New Year’s at yet another singles party, she books herself on a coach tour of Jane Austen country, but quickly realises she won't find her dream man here - just a coach full of pensioners and one particularly aggravating (if handsome) journalist, Spike.
That's until she enters a room and finds herself face-to-face with none other than Darcy himself. The actual, real Mr Darcy. From the book. And, suddenly, every woman's fantasy becomes one woman's reality . . .
