This is the 2nd edition of this book, updated for minor typos and formatting. It is the same book as published in 2023, it is not a new book. At the age of 13 Elizabeth Bennet met her reclusive neighbours and from that moment her life was changed forever. She learned the realities of life in Regency England for a young woman. What she learned disappointed and annoyed her, resulting in a young woman who held herself, and those around her, to a high standard. Rather than keep her constrained like so many young women, her neighbours encouraged her to be whatever she wanted. And if she wanted ...

Story
In this low angst, a sweet retelling of Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Mr. Bennet is not just idle, he is actively cruel. And Mrs. Bennet, while still uneducated, must do whatever she can to protect her daughters from their father. Mr. Darcy’s epiphany comes much earlier than in canon and it changes his relationships not only with the Bennets but with his sister, his cousin Anne, and Bingley. When the Bennet matriarch moves to an estate outside of Bath with her daughters, Bingley follows and so do both Darcy siblings.

As a child, Elizabeth Bennet's years were split into two distinct segments: her normal life with four rambunctious sisters in Hertfordshire, and summers in Derbyshire on the estate of her father's friend Mr. Darcy. Summertime meant peaks to explore, horses to ride, a library full of books, and friends unlike anyone she knew at home. It was an idyllic escape - until the year that everything came crashing down and summers at Pemberley became no more than a fading memory. When Fitzwilliam Darcy walks into the Meryton Assembly half a decade later, Elizabeth doesn't know how to reconcile the two...

Poor Darcy
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The story was not a light and pleasant one with Darcy having to learn a very harsh lesson as he really put his foot in his mouth. Caroline was the main cause with her gossiping false information. The wider character presence brought more to the normal retelling of p&p. I enjoyed it.

This was read by virtual voice and some pronunciations were difficult to hear (like Rossings for Rosings and my absolute cringiest thing Dacre for Darce). There is also an absence of emotional inflections but it’s actually not terrible…just different.
Good story and I recommend.
