About this listen
Are love and affection enough to overcome the pain of grief and anger?
In the spring of 1812, Elizabeth and Lydia are the only Bennet daughters still unmarried after the death of their father. Elizabeth's health and spirits worsen as she moves among relations as an unwanted, dependent sister. She returns to Mary and Mr. Collins at Longbourn to learn that the neighborhood gossip centers on the reclusive Mr. Darcy.
Darcy and his sister live an isolated life in a small rented lodge near Netherfield after the events at Ramsgate. As Georgiana's health is failing, Darcy has his own regrets to bear. He tries to keep them secluded, but a young woman arrives who is determined to befriend his lonely, ill sister.
When Elizabeth receives disastrous news, she makes a daring plan to find happiness for herself while she still can. Misunderstandings and secrets abound for them both, but in the end, Darcy and Elizabeth will find greater strength together than they ever had apart.
This variation blends Austen's Pride and Prejudice with elements of Montgomery's The Blue Castle. Content note: secondary character's miscarriage off-screen, secondary character death, mature romantic scenes.

Colonel Fitzwilliam suggests to his cousin Darcy that, before he proposes to Elizabeth Bennet in Kent, perhaps he ought to discuss his plans with their families first.

Two identical faces. Two entirely different hearts. One impossible choice. When Elizabeth Bennet meets the handsome but reserved Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy at a local assembly, she’s prepared to dismiss him as merely another proud member of the gentry. But the arrival of his identical twin brother—the charming, vivacious Lieutenant James Darcy—throws everything into delightful confusion.

Story
Is not the very meaning of love that it surpasses every objection against it? Jilted. Never did Mr. Darcy imagine it could happen to him. But it has, and by Elizabeth Bennet, the woman who first hated and rejected him but then came to love him - he believed - and agree to be his wife. Alas, it is a short-lived, ill-fated romance that ends nearly as soon as it has begun. No reason is given. More than a year since he last saw her - a year of anger, confusion, and despair - he receives an invitation from the Bingleys to a house party at Netherfield.

Enjoyable "Pride And Prejudice" Variation
This was my first experience with Heather Moll's work, and I enjoyed it a lot. As the description stated, this story was an alternative view of Jane Austen's "Pride And Prejudice". The story was charming. The characters were complex, and their arcs were pleasing. The plot had some twists and turns but kept the spirit of the original story in my opinion. Stevie Zimmerman's narration was delightful, and her performance kept my attention. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Absorbing story, Excellent narration
Heather Moll excels at writing variations that explore the many facets of our dear couple in believable ways for the given circumstances. Darcy is broodingly swoonworthy, upright in character, and takes far too much on himself. Elizabeth blossoms in an environment of independence where she can love those deserving of her devotion and behave in accordance with her values. While the circumstances in this variation are overset by grief and suffering, the angst does not overwhelm as Elizabeth and Darcy come to know each other and themselves better on a journey steeped in love and devotion.

Heather Moll never disappoints!
A very touching story- my heart broke for Lizzy, Darcy, & Georgiana. Never fear, there is an HEA. Topped off by Stevie Zimmerman’s narration, this is one you will want in your library. I will return to listen again and again. Another wonderful story, Heather!

Moving story
This was difficult to read not due to the quality of the writing or narration as both are fantastic but due to the angst. As I listened I couldn't help but imagine Oprah pointing and shouting "You get some angst, and you get some angst, and you get some angst..." Despite all the angst, I really enjoyed this story and highly recommend it.

Why I Enjoy JAFF
Well written story with a very unique concept. Mr Bennet died early and Mary married Mr Collins. Elizabeth is mistaken in a belief she is dying. Darcy rents the Netherfield lodge to hide his sister from society and family. Georgiana Darcy is very seriously ill after giving birth to Wickham’s child who is stillborn.
The story is riveting and the performance amazing. Heather Moll and Stevie Zimmerman are a fabulous combination.
