About this listen
Excerpt:
Elizabeth lay back onto the grass allowing the sun to warm her face and the breeze to tousle her hair. The gloriously vivid blue sky was reflected perfectly in the still end of the loch while the waterfall at the other end sent a cooling mist into the air. Perfect. This was a perfectly lovely day in a perfectly lovely place. She thought about the series of events that had brought her here to this remote estate in Scotland, alone except for her lady’s maid and the nominal staff of the manor house. It had begun with friendship. Friendship with Fitzwilliam Darcy. A friendship that deteriorated into betrayal and deep resentment and then into his abandonment when she most needed support. But…forgiveness. The forgiveness the Lord had commanded of his followers. The forgiveness she had to decide to give – without feeling it. “Decide to forgive,” her aunt had told her, “the feeling will come later – or not.” She picked up her black bonnet and tied it in place before mounting little David, the Highlands Pony she would ride back to the estate and continue her sojourn there as Mrs. MacCumbers, devastated widow.

Warning: This is another excessively sweet, clean, low-angst story written from a decidedly Christian point of view. This novella of about 44,000 words is about the fulfillment of Elizabeth’s Bennet’s childhood wish to be Mrs. Darcy. Excerpt: The young couple joined hands as they stood together in the sun-filled meadow of the sprawling estate of Pemberley. “Dearly beloved,” the ceremony began, “we have gathered here to witness the joining of this couple in holy matrimony.” The speaker did his best to remember the words of the marriage service without the benefit of his prayer ...

Elizabeth’s unique combination of slow magical conduction and extreme magical sensitivity makes her highly effective at creating new magical inscriptions, so much so that she publishes her first one at the tender age of only eighteen with the help of her father. However, she publishes it under the name E. Bennet to avoid revealing her gender. This magical inscription, which aids in the precise sheering of sheep, caught the eye of Mr. Darcy, who happens to own an estate with over two thousand sheep. When he writes to the mysterious E. Bennet, creator of the inscription, to ask a few ...

All of the usual villains are part of the story but minimized significantly. If you enjoy a light-hearted version of Our Dear Couple’s road to Happily Ever After, this may be a book for you. Excerpt: Mr. Thomas Bennet massaged his temples as his five-day-old daughter again woke and cried in hungry complaint. He and the wet nurse Mrs. Lindsay had been on the road for two days with the infant, and his nerves had ...

The characters meet as children and grow in understanding of themselves and each other over the period of Elizabeth at age five until her marriage. There are no super-villains to wreak havoc on our heroes or heroines in this low-angst retelling. Except: Summer 1796 - On a mild summer day in Hertfordshire, Lady Anne Darcy sat in the shade of the terrace overlooking the generous expanse of manicured lawn behind their leased estate. Netherfield Park was an agreeable location ...

Of Gates and Grace is a light, sweet, very low-angst novella of a little 39,000 words written from a decidedly Christian perspective. When Darcy and Elizabeth meet for the first time – or is it the second? – he mistakes her for a wood nymph. Excerpt: “Well, are you coming in?” After a pause, the gatekeeper, presumably St. Peter, repeated more slowly as if he was speaking to slow-witted children, “So are you two coming in or staying out there?” Darcy spoke first, “I don’t think I’m finished yet. I have more that I need to accomplish. My sister isn’t yet married, and…and...

No honor in Darcy’s character.
There was so much potential here! However, Darcy would never have abandoned a woman under his protection. The last fourth of this story destroys most of the build up to the reunion of Darcy and Elizabeth.

Darcy is a snob
In this story I don’t think I could ever fully depend on Mr. Darcy. Unless she married him for food, shelter, clothing-security, that is, there will never be any real trust. He discounted her and dismissed her as unworthy as a potential wife and abandoned her leaving her to fend for herself at a time when her demise was all due to him and his crazy aunt pulling an unforgivable stunt. Why wasn’t she threatened with slander and run out of town? The paper should have been threatened too. Darcy left the clean up to others while he stayed silent and left London which only made the whole story seem true. That’s cold. I don’t see how she could get past that and I don’t think he would ever be completely satisfied or comfortable with her being “less than” no matter how much he wants her. Why he did nothing to silence Lady Catherine is beyond comprehension. She is no one to worry about her feelings above his own or Elizabeth’s . LC is a liar and mean selfish person and a horrible mother. If she loved her relatives she wouldn’t be trying to hurt them at any cost. This story bothered me. Her parents are horrid, Darcy is a heartless wimp. Otherwise, the writing is very good. VV is VV, not as good as a talented voice actor but still thankful to experience new to me authors offered in plus catalog.
