About this listen

"It is the way of the world, Elizabeth. Men hold power over women, but I am not a man who wants to wield such power. I would prefer a woman who has some power over me".

Fitzwilliam Darcy already has one arranged marriage in his past. The last thing he envisions for himself is another, yet he has somehow become entrapped in a promise to a dying man. Not only must Darcy overcome his resentment in order to live up to his sense of honour, but when he realises how deeply his heart may be engaged, he must convince Elizabeth Bennet of his true feelings.

Elizabeth never expected the imperious Mr Darcy to become a good friend of an idle gentleman like her father. And she certainly never anticipated they would form a secret pact compelling her marriage to a man she dislikes. She must set aside grief and resentment, as well as her suspicions: Is Darcy using her to avoid another bride pushed onto him by his family, or to gain riches Elizabeth never knew she had?

Or is it possible he loves her?

A very good story which worked well as an audiobook due to the easy style of writing.
Although the characters went through ups and downs and there was some tension it was not excessive and the tone overall was positive and uplifting.

An uplifting story

I really enjoyed this variation, although it’s a very different plot and some key characters are given only minor references (no Lady Catherine, not much mention of Wickham). Narration is excellent.

A makes variation, but highly enjoyable

The story is different & heart warming.
I started it , then put it away because the narration was awful. However, I gritted my teeth finally finished it
Such a shame it was so spoilt my lifeless story telling.

Hated the narration but the story was lovely.

Another variation where Mr Bennett has to face his mortality and shortcomings as a father and husband. How fortunate that Darcy happens to turn up at the right time to put everything right for the remaining Bennetts.

Loved it! A P&P variation which kept me reading

I have become a fan of Pride and Prejudice variations as they are invariably well written, true to the period, and have an engrossing plot. This is no exception. The narrator did it full justice.

Enjoyable
