About this listen
REEDITED and EXTENDED in 11/2024
Elizabeth Bennet has always prided herself on her keen insight into character, but when the enigmatic Mr. Darcy enters her life, even her sharpest judgments are called into question. What if Elizabeth wasn’t so quick to dismiss Darcy’s intentions? What if Darcy, despite his pride, revealed his vulnerability sooner?
In this fresh and captivating reimagination of Jane Austen’s beloved classic, the familiar tale of misunderstandings, romance, and societal expectations takes unexpected turns. Darcy and Elizabeth find themselves drawn together by shared ideals and challenged by lingering prejudices and family interference. With sharper insights and deeper connections, their journey unfolds in surprising ways.
Set against the rich backdrop of Regency England, More Discerning is a story of love that endures through trials and triumphs. Brimming with wit, passion, and unforgettable characters, this variation delves into the complexities of the heart and the courage it takes to trust in love.
Fans of Austen’s original and newcomers alike will fall in love with this thoughtful, romantic, and beautifully crafted tale.

The story has now been re-published with a different title—one that better suits the narrative. Extensive editing has taken place (special thanks to Tish Holmes for her invaluable assistance), and certain changes have been made. However, the overall structure and main ideas remain consistent with the original version. The tale begins with a dramatic fire at Netherfield, just days ...
