Publisher's summary

Rejected by a sister who has allowed her new status as wife to Mr. Bingley to make her proud, Elizabeth Bennet goes to her uncle's estate in Derbyshire, ostensibly to assist her cousin in her introduction to society. In reality, Elizabeth feels there is nothing left for her in the neighborhood of her birth.

Her uncle's estate is small, and Elizabeth must work while there, and though she finds her tasks easy to bear. She quickly becomes close to her young cousin and uncle, though her aunt is a hard, demanding woman, who seems to hold a grudge against Elizabeth. But she also meets many friends, including the daughter of an earl, and the handsome friend of her sister Jane's new husband, a Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy.

As Elizabeth is slowly pulled from her melancholy, new vistas open up to her, and she realizes that she can still have everything she has ever wished to have. But the jealousy of a woman who is no friend of her courtship with a wealthy man threatens her newfound happiness, and the coming of a sister who rejected her has the potential to once again disrupt Elizabeth's life and destroy her future.

Great variation on P &P

This was a great story line and very well written and narrated. I love all of Jann Rowland’s books. Can’t wait to read another.

A clean, intriguing retelling of Pride And Prejudice.

I really enjoyed this retelling of Pride and Prejudice. It has a very different twist on some of the caricature and the roles they normally play. This was a very clean read. It’s a longer listen, but I never felt like it was too long. I enjoyed coming across the author. I will definitely be checking out more of his books!

Thoughts of mine

Almost all of the characters are from Pride and Prejudice and and it was annoying at first . However, as the story developed I began to enjoy this rendition of the story. The characters retained the same if not more expanded personality of PAP.
I did enjoy this book.

thoroughly enjoyed

I absolutely enjoyed this story. there are only two things that bothered me with it, one is that they use the word circumspect way too many times. its like they just found this word and wanted to use it every chance they got lol. other then that no problem with the story at all. but my second thing is the narrator, I like her voice what I'm not a fan of the sing song way she does her voice. it drives me nuts

Pride and Prejudice Variation-One of the better

This is one of the many pride and prejudice vagaries or versions you can find on audible. I find myself addicted to these books as pride and prejudice is not only a classic but one of my very favorite Jane Austen books.

This one lead you to understand the background of her family far better than any of the other versions I’ve read. I truly enjoyed this one it’s one of the better versions. It’s quite a link the book and it gives good value for a credit.

Loving

Loved the voice of the reader. Love all the different accents she tries to do. This was a different way to Darcy and Elizabeth way to live. Caroline is really mean. Highly recommended

Excellent

A compelling story with excellent narration. This is one of the best stories focusing on Darcy & Elizabeth, whose first meeting is in Derbyshire.
