    It is a truth universally acknowledged that Pride and Prejudice remains one of the most beloved romances in the history of literature. 
    When the wealthy and amiable Mr. Bingley rents the sprawling Netherfield Park, the quiet countryside village of Longbourn is sent into a flurry of breathless anticipation. For Mrs. Bennet, a frantic mother of five unwed daughters, his arrival is the answer to her most fervent prayers. But it is the introduction of Bingley's formidable friend, the haughty and unfathomably rich Mr. Darcy, that truly upends the Bennet household. 
    Sparks fly and societal expectations shatter when Darcy's proud, aloof demeanor clashes with the razor-sharp wit and fierce independence of Elizabeth Bennet. What begins as mutual disdain soon tangles into a complicated web of stolen glances, scandalous family drama, and unspoken desires. 
    Jane Austen's masterpiece is far more than a simple romance—it is a brilliant, biting satire of class, marriage, and the foolish assumptions we make about one another. Will Elizabeth's prejudice and Darcy's pride keep them forever apart, or will they surrender to a love that defies all odds? 
    Brought elegantly to life by narrator Andre Reaves, this audiobook invites you to step into the ballrooms of 19th-century England and fall in love with the Bennet sisters all over again.

    The Fullness of Life - From...

    Edith Newbold Jones was born in New York on January 24, 1862.   Born into wealth, this background of privilege gave her a wealth of experience to eventually, after several false starts, produce many works based on it culminating in her Pulitzer Prize winning novel ‘The Age Of Innocence’ 
    Marriage to Edward Robbins Wharton, who was 12 years older in 1885 seemed to offer much and for some years they travelled extensively.  After some years it was apparent that her husband suffered from acute depression and so the travelling ceased and they retired to The Mount, their estate designed by Edith.  By 1908 his condition was said to be incurable and prior to divorcing Edward in 1913 she began an affair, in 1908, with Morton Fullerton, a Times journalist, who was her intellectual equal and allowed her writing talents to push forward and write the novels for which she is so well known.  
    Acknowledged as one of the great American writers with novels such as Ethan Frome and the House of Mirth among many.  Wharton also wrote many short stories, including ghost stories and poems which we are pleased to publish.  
    Edith Wharton died of a stroke in 1937 at the Domaine Le Pavillon Colombe, her 18th-century house on Rue de Montmorency in Saint-Brice-sous-Forêt.

    A novel based on the true story of Australian jockey Bill Smith – a life lived in secret. 
    For most of his 76 years, Bill Smith preferred solitude over socialising, horses over people and confidentiality over confidantes. As a jockey, he was known for always turning up already fully kitted out in his silks. But now, in his advancing years, a fall lands him in full-time care and it becomes impossible to maintain his privacy. Nurse Maureen Bannon resents having to look after ‘the geries’, especially grumpy old buggers like Mr Smith, but when she discovers Bill’s secret an unlikely alliance is formed. Bill was assigned female at birth, a fact that shaped his life but never limited his ambition. With Mr Smith’s health declining and time running out, Maureen wants to find someone who knows and loves him, but only one name seems to mean anything to Bill – Catherine, his first love. Can Maureen find out more to help Bill find peace? 
    Mr Smith to You is a beautiful and tender novel about identity and a powerful testament to kindness and the human spirit.
