"You could not have made me the offer of your hand in any possible way that would have tempted me to accept it." (Jane Austen)

Reeling from the unexpected rejection of his proposal, Fitzwilliam Darcy prepares to quit Hunsford for London, but not before he defends himself against Elizabeth Bennet's accusations. He cannot forgive her harsh words; her assertion Mr. Wickham would have made a better son has cut him to the core.

Suffering an accident while delivering the fated letter, he wakes to a world he does not know - and to those who do not recognize him. With a new life, a different name, and a fresh chance at winning the woman he loves, Darcy must decide which is A Life Worth Choosing - the past he remembers or a future he has created for himself.

This Regency variation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice by best-selling author Anngela Schroeder, is appropriate for all who wish to lose themselves on another path towards Darcy and Elizabeth’s happily ever after.

Elizabeth Grace is a favourite narrator and voice actor, so naturally, I loved this performance. I think she has a swoony Darcy voice.

My title kind of says it all. Following an accident, Darcy wakes up to a different life—one where his words from a previous life held consequences.

Darcy wrote, “I have never become careless in my duty, yet had I not been born the master of Pemberley, I assure you the Darcy legacy would have continued unaffected.”

Unless your life had been affected by a wise old gypsy!

This was a nicely written retelling of two well-known, beloved stories. As in It’s a Wonderful Life, Darcy will realize his presence had more bearing on the lives of others than he realized.

Loved it and highly recommend.

It’s a Wonderful Life—Pride and Prejudice Style

I adore this variation. The alternate reality was a wonderful what if. I wish the story went on longer. Everyone was so true to character but it was still a fresh new story.

A Darcy worth choosing!

A beautifully written and performed fantasy what-if that imagines what would happen if Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth wish he had never been born after the Hunsford proposal. The changes of circumstances and how various characters are affected are sometimes surprising and completely engrossing. I thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end.

Beautifully written and performed

Wasn’t simply repeating the same old storyline. I like new way of handling the basic plots without the additional stories of the sisters and mother

Loved the split version of reality with interesting twist and turns

I really enjoyed this variation. It was a great choice for my credit.

I’m used to Stevie Zimmerman being my favorite JAFF narrator, but Elizabeth Grace was wonderful. I may need to rethink the top spot!

(Spoiler: My only criticism would be that I wish Darcy had been forced to choose between his two lives and risk losing Elizabeth to save everyone else. There seemed to be little in the way of choosing his future.)

I am amazed how intricate and diverting this story was. Great read. Great narrator as well. Great JAFF.

Very interesting story
