One of the turning points in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is Miss Elizabeth Bennet's passionate refusal and denunciation of the equally passionate but infinitely more repressed Fitzwilliam Darcy. However, unforeseen events can lead to the most unexpected consequences.
During a visit with her friend, Charlotte Collins, at Hunsford, Elizabeth falls prey to illness for almost the first time in her life just as Mr. Darcy comes to call. Befuddled by her illness, she misinterprets his proposal of marriage, and a simple nod of acknowledgment is mistaken for acceptance of his suit by a joyous Darcy.
By the time Elizabeth regains her health, it seems every one of her acquaintances - and many outside of it - accepts she is engaged to the last man in the world she would ever consider. Elizabeth knows that her life will be forever changed, and the consequences will spread further than she imagines.

What makes this variation sparkle is that it's not just a take on the Elizabeth and Darcy relationship, giving other background characters needed development. I especially appreciate how Caroline and Wickham are humanized without overlooking how they were also pretty terrible, ending up with happy endings of their own.
I think, if there's anything I want to hold against this variation, is that it does seem to not give Darcy the character development he had in the original. Mild spoilers, but his role in breaking apart Bingley and Jane goes largely unaddressed, and Jane even winds up with an original character she's attracted to for his decisiveness, a marked departure from Bingley. I don't have a problem with the last point, but even though the narration kind of makes a point at the end how it wasn't important for Elizabeth to know and acknowledge that Darcy did this, it still bothers me. Still, I was pretty happy with this review copy and enjoyed listening to it.
Pretty good but plodding at times

U received a complimentary copy from the author. This is my honest unbiased opinion.
a new twist to the story

I loved the premise of this version in which Elizabeth said yes to the first proposal. I liked how it was written, it seemed believable the way the "acceptance" came about. And then the way things unfolded after was really well done also. There were some twists that I didn't see coming and changes I'm still not sure I liked. But overall I think the author did a really good job.
The narrator had an excellent voice and I felt like her performance helped my enjoyment of this story a lot. I wouldn't hesitate to listen to more by her in future.

The only criticisms I have are that the book doesn’t really contain the wit that Jane Austen’s version had, and the narrator at times stumbles over the words and at other times seems bored. There isn’t much differentiation between the character voices either, but overall I really enjoyed this and would definitely recommend it to any Jane Austen fans out there!
Like Sliding Doors for P&P!
