About this listen
When Mr. Darcy and Colonel Fitzwilliam visit Lady Catherine, Charlotte and the Colonel conspire to help Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy reach an understanding before the visit ends. In the process, Charlotte falls in love with the Colonel, and learns that he cares for her as well! Alas, their love is doomed, as Charlotte is very much married.
When Mr. Bennet dies, Charlotte and Mr. Collins soon find themselves living at Longbourn. But life at Longbourn is far more complicated than they ever imagined, as Mrs. Bennet refuses to leave the house, and Lydia Bennet arrives on their doorstep very pregnant, but not married.
While the Darcys, the Bingley and the Gardiners do their best to help Charlotte deal with the troubles at Longbourn, it is ultimately up to Charlotte – plain, sensible Charlotte – to set things right.
This is a full-length novel of over 90,000 words.

An unbelievable thing has just happened at Meryton’s Assembly Ball. A feather worked its way loose from Miss Bingley’s turban, swooping unerringly for Mr. Darcy’s unprotected eye! Instinctively, the gentleman in question raised his hand and stepped backward to avoid the object, tripping Miss Elizabeth Bennet and then falling upon her prone form. Scandalous! A marriage must occur, of course. But he does not want to marry an unknown country miss and she most certainly does not want to marry the proud, dour Mr. Darcy. Can they find their way to one another despite this inauspicious ...

Story
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. But life at Pemberley is not at all what she imagined.

So much in life depends on chance and sheer luck. How much do we often owe to being in the right place at the right time? In Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth Bennet plans to visit the Lake District with her uncle and aunt, yet ends up at Pemberley instead, just as, by coincidence, Mr Darcy also arrives home. They meet, understand one another better and all eventually ends well. But what if they did not have such luck? What if Elizabeth actually went to the Lake District and was nowhere near Pemberley, and she and Mr Darcy never met again until another four years had gone by? Now...

As a child, Elizabeth Bennet's years were split into two distinct segments: her normal life with four rambunctious sisters in Hertfordshire, and summers in Derbyshire on the estate of her father's friend Mr. Darcy. Summertime meant peaks to explore, horses to ride, a library full of books, and friends unlike anyone she knew at home. It was an idyllic escape - until the year that everything came crashing down and summers at Pemberley became no more than a fading memory. When Fitzwilliam Darcy walks into the Meryton Assembly half a decade later, Elizabeth doesn't know how to reconcile the two...

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that while a man in possession of a fortune may be in want of a wife, there may be ladies who do not reciprocate. This may be especially so when the man in question not only possesses the rightful inheritance of said ladies, but is also of a most odious disposition and less than agreeable in appearance. Such was the lot of five young women near the town of Meryton. Not only had they no fortune, their own father, an absentee parent at best, had not the foresight to put aside a single pound should they not have the opportunity marry. For this sole ...

The writing was excellent. I felt as if Charlotte was talking to me personally. Charlotte is the star and Lydia turns out to be the costar. The writer does a masterful job bringing all the familiar characters to life. Most characters are somewhat different than I anticipated but usually in a good or better than expected way. Don’t miss listening to this book- I predict you will love it.

the virtual voice was really hard to tolerate. it made all of the dialogue difficult to follow due to the lack of variation in the voice itself. The lack of dynamism of a bad narrator has a negative impact on the story as an audiobook.
I would read more titles by this author if they weren’t all virtual voiced. This was the first book that I’ve listened to with an AI narrator and it will be my last.
