Publisher's Summary
Imagine if you made one little mistake when you were young and were punished for it for the rest of your life. Well, that’s what happened to Lydia (yes, that Lydia, the youngest Bennet sister from Pride and Prejudice), and she’s here to set the record straight. Hold on to your teacups and get ready for sophisticated (and a little bit naughty) hot takes and witty banter that’ll make you laugh—and think.
We meet Lydia just as she is denounced by her family, exiled miles from home, and married to the rogue George Wickham, who seems to love all women...except his own wife. She must learn to summon great bravery to carve out a place for herself in the society that has brutally rejected her.
Lydia isn’t the traditional Austen heroine, and this isn’t a traditional, polite period drama. Lydia is a badass. A trailblazer. She’s fierce and fiercely funny. And she might inhabit the Regency period, but she’s fighting the same battle many of us are today—having to defend the decisions she’s made and the person she chooses to love, to shut out the 'trolls' and gossips, to hold her head high in a world that will judge her for any mistake she makes.
Starring Academy Award nominee Jessie Buckley (Fargo, The Lost Daughter) and Johnny Flynn (Lovesick, Stardust), this hilarious and timely listen is for fans of classics with a twist. Writer and creator playwright Sarah Page says that she wrote Mrs. Wickham to 'entertain people with a romantic, optimistic, and seductive comedy,' but that there’s also a 'message held at its heart to treat each other with kindness.'
If you binged Bridgerton, this one’s for you.
Starring: Jessie Buckley, Johnny Flynn, Emily Barber, Fehinti Balogun, Adrian Edmondson, Leila Farzad, Stephanie Hyam, Jodie McNee, Natalie Simpson, Ray Panthaki and Emily Johnstone

Loved it
Loved this take on this character!!! Worth the listen and the money. If you believe that what you see is not always what you get. Then is your book.

Brilliant!
So well written. Charming and funny.
Narration was excellent.
The music they overlaid the production was unnecessary and rather annoying but despite that, the story was throughly enjoyable.

MUST BE MADE INTO A MOVIE AT ONCE!
Wonderful story, excellent, lively performances.
If I had any idea how to go about it, I would make this into a movie immediately.
Pay attention Prime Video - I want an Executive Producer credit!

Surprisingly delightful and wonderfully performed!
This production was an unexpected delight! The plot and performance were both excellent, and the story fit within the P&P world enough to be familiar and comforting while being novel enough to be fresh and interesting. Definitely worth a listen!

Love this!
If you loved Pride and prejudice then you’ll love this! I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was.
I’m sad it’s over!

So good
At first I wasn’t into but then the book showed the quick wit of the characters.
I love it wish it was longer!
