About this listen
"I have faults enough, but they are not, I hope, of understanding." -Mr. Darcy, Pride and Prejudice
When Fitzwilliam Darcy makes an impetuous offer of marriage to Miss Elizabeth Bennet, he is convinced they have as good a chance as any for a harmonious life together. That is, until an overheard conversation changes everything, and Darcy realizes he is now joined in perpetuity to a woman who loathes the very sight of him.
Elizabeth Bennet's expectations for matrimonial accord were never very high, having accepted Mr. Darcy's proposal in a fit of pique, not love. Still, she is determined to make the best of her situation, despite having tied herself to such an arrogant, disagreeable man.
But life at Pemberley is not at all what she imagined, and Elizabeth soon finds herself with more questions than answers about the enigmatic gentleman she agreed to wed.
Trapped in a marriage founded on misunderstandings, Fitzwilliam and Elizabeth Darcy struggle with deepening attraction while confronting self-doubt and old betrayals. But is love enough to heal the wounds of the past? What will it take for two people bound by duty to find their way home to one another?

For Elizabeth Bennet, Charlotte is the friend who is—annoyingly—always right. Colonel Fitzwilliam is the mischievous brother she never had. And if their convictions that Mr. Darcy is in love with her are correct, he could be the lover she’s always wanted. There’s only one problem—he tried to ruin her favorite sister’s life, and she made an absolute fool of herself in front of him. Can lasting happiness come out of such a beginning? And can a man die from chasing a woman too quick to be caught? Darcy is about to find out.

A variation with a few new twists
This will definitely be a re-listen. The readers got to see Darcy’s kinder side throughout the story. There was a lot of miscommunication but, of course, a happy ending was had by all. Except Lady Catherine, of course. The narrator was excellent! I refuse to listen to any books rad by a virtual voice.

A Pleasure to Read and Listen
I bought this book when it was released in 2021 and was happy to see the audiobook released. It is truly excellent. The variation is unique, brilliantly written and a pleasurable listen, thanks to Stevie Zimmerman, who is always outstanding in all her performances.
Darcy and Elizabeth — While these two beloved characters will frustrate you to no end at times, you cannot help but love them, and even cry for them.
This book is a favourite and I most highly recommend it. I know for sure I will be reading and listening to the audiobook again.

It’s fine…
This book was pleasant and interesting, but I can’t say it was in anyway compelling. The basic premise of the book, the lack of understanding between Elizabeth and Darcy, is well supported in the original P&P, so the plot was plausible. Jennifer Altman‘s Elizabeth is true to character although she lacks the sparkle of the original. Darcy, on the other hand, is a washed out version of himself. This author let us see his kind side, but unfortunately, she didn’t balance it with any of the of the original Darcy’s strength of character and charisma. I did enjoy seeing more of Georgiana, and it was fun to see Lydia take a different route, while remaining true to her original character.
The performance was fine. The version of the recording I got had a tinny quality.
I think this book would appeal to a diehard Pride and Prejudice fan. For me, it was worth the time invested in listening, but not worth the credit. I would rather have spent it on another Loretta Chase or Grace Burrowes novel.,

A P&P Variation worthy of a credit
If only Elizabeth and Darcy would communicate. It’s an age old lesson really. We saw it in the original P&P. We see it here. Elizabeth and Darcy marry early in this variation. But when Darcy overhears Elizabeth’s true feelings about him (she loathes him), he puts up walls to protect his heart. He loves her, after all. It he can’t tell her that, especially knowing how she feels about him.
So theirs isn’t a “marriage” at all. Oh, how this must feel to them both. To feel rejected physically. It’s heart wrenching. But so much of the story is heart warming at the same time.
Don’t worry. This other is true to canon. So it all works out in a thrilling way. It’s worth the journey.
The relationship between Elizabeth and Georgiana is so natural.
It’s a pleasure to listen to the narrator, the fabulous Stevie Zimmerman! She makes the characters personalities jump off the page.
The characters are canon, and we meet some new characters too. I love it when I meet new characters. They provide an interesting backstory that Austen would find most agreeable.

Really Enjoyed This Story
Without giving anything away, there are some great twists in this story for characters other than ODC.
The story, however, for ODC is well done as well. The “usual misunderstandings” are resolved fairly quickly as Lizzy blurts out her accusations of mistreatment of Wickham in the early days of their marriage.
But, there are many more secrets to uncover and wounds to heal as Lizzy discovers who Darcy really is and Darcy overcomes other hurts from his past.

Lovely!
With Faults of Understanding, Jennifer Altman has crafted a wonderfully long and satisfying P&P variation of the timeless love of Darcy and Elizabeth. Stevie Zimmerman’s amazing talent adds yet another dimension to savor. Highly recommend!

One of the best P&P variations!
I've listened to over 100 P&P variations over the years and this was one of the best! Stevie Zimmerman is the best narrator as we all know. I hope this author writes another very soon. Great job!

Great variation with the best narrator!
I REALLY enjoyed this variation! There were many new subplots which were very interesting. There was a lot of sadness I felt for the characters, especially Mr. Darcy. I cried tears at times for the time being wasted between Darcy and Elizabeth because of their lack of communication and misunderstandings. I highly recommend this variation! The narrator is my favorite!!
