When Elizabeth Bennet moves with her widowed sister and niece to an estate in Derbyshire, she does not expect to find herself captivated by the mysterious steward of Pemberley. Though cautioned not to spend more time in his company than she ought, Elizabeth finds she cannot stay away from him.
Fitzwilliam Darcy’s father lost half the family fortune to a pair of swindlers and the rest to gaming and investments that gave no returns. He knows he is no good for the daughter of a baronet, but he falls for the lively Elizabeth in spite of every reason he should not. When the two determine their mutual attraction cannot be denied, Darcy decides to accept the challenge of re-entering society more for the sake of Elizabeth’s reputation than his own. Because both know it won’t be easy for him to regain the good opinion of the ton, Darcy goes to his noble relations to seek their assistance and Elizabeth joins him in London to support his efforts.
Of course, the expectation of whispers and snobbery is scant preparation for facing down the harshest critic of them all: one’s own family.

The narrator was awesome and brought the story to life.
An unusual twist in situations

Darcy and Pemberley have fallen on hard times. His father died in devastating circumstances losing their fortune in speculation and being preyed upon by previously trusted associates. None other than the Wickhams, junior and senior. Oh my gosh. The estate is still bringing an income but all of it is going to pay debt.
Elizabeth loves Pemberley and everything about it and takes over most all the duties of mistress to leaving Jane to care for little Meg and enjoy the solitude she craves. Elizabeth meets Darcy whilst out walking, being introduced to her as the steward. Both are attracted to each other. Did we have any doubt? Well, maybe we should if this followed canon precisely but Darcy has been humbled.
A delightful, thoughtful, moving, heartwarming, variation with wonderful departures from but faithful nonetheless to our dear Pride and Prejudice.
There are many characters here to love, new and old. And a few to really hate. The villain get their punishments and the worthy get their rewards. But the journey to achieve them is a great tale of love and devotion. There is sweet romance between our dear couple. A very satisfying story and one I will be reading or listening to again.
Recommend for those interested in a nice long story with all the emotions and drama, and all the love we desire from a well written story. Great narrator!!
The most loved cannon characters all here: LOVE IT

Really enjoyed the writer's original ideas in this P&P variation, but I get so frustrated with the lazy approach to an historical period, throwing in 20th century and 21st century speech patterns and vocabulary that sort of spoil getting into the world of Regency England. No one was saying 'yoo-hoo' in early 19th century England, nor were they saying, 'I know where you're coming from," among other examples. It is annoying that the writer can't be more attentive to such details, and the writer makes grammatical errors that Jane Austen certainly never would, The narration of Harry Frost is good, but it seems the readers of Audible books tend to create a sort of rhythmic sameness, with identical inflections no matter who is talking--even the inestimable Stevie Zimmerman does the same--so that by the end of the book, one is a bit ragged listening to the same lilt and voice peculiarities again and again. Nonetheless, enjoyed it completely.

I enjoyed the premise of this story, but regretfully, I couldn’t quite warm up to this Elizabeth. I found her often pushy, and speaking up when it really wasn’t her place to do so. Another trait I didn’t like was how she sometimes prevented Darcy from speaking, and then would speak. He’d been weakened enough by his circumstances, and her doing this weakened him even further to me.
While the love story between ODC existed, I found it wasn’t very romantic or emotional. My heart really went out to Anne.
Enjoyed the premise
