About this listen
All of his efforts to forget her had failed, and he had accepted that some part of her would always be with him
In the winter of 1812, a fatal accident on a stormy night plunges the Bennet family into mourning and scandal. Shunned and isolated from nearly everyone they have ever known and loved each of the Bennet sisters hurries to marry, to provide themselves the respectability of married women. Miss Elizabeth Bennet settles into marriage of prudence with a man she respects but could never completely love.
Fitzwilliam Darcy left Hertfordshire determined to put Elizabeth Bennet and her fine eyes behind him. Disgusted by society and plagued by memories he would just as soon forget, he tries to seclude himself at Pemberley. Alas, the treachery and extortion of someone he once trusted leads him to settle into a marriage both he and his bride despise.
Shortly after he becomes a widower, a chance discovery on a beach in Devon brings Elizabeth Bennet back to Darcy’s mind. Not knowing anything of what has befallen her in the years since that fateful autumn in Hertfordshire he sets out to find her and, if possible, court her.
Will the tumult both have endured in the years since last they met be put aside? Will their long-awaited second chance at love finally lead to happily ever after?

I loved the narration, for me that means that there were no mispronunciations and nothing that distracted from the story - perfect!

Fitzwilliam Darcy met and fell in love with Miss Elizabeth Bennet, during a brief visit to Hertfordshire in 1811.
Unfortunately, her lack of social position, connexions and dowry make her an unlikely wife for a wealthy man.
Her vulgar mother, poorly behaved sisters and ties to trade provide a seemingly insurmountable barrier for a man who must fulfil the demands of his aristocratic family.
After one dance at the Netherfield ball, Darcy flees to London, determined not to succumb to his infatuation.
In retrospect, life for Elizabeth Bennet seems to take a downturn after the ball.
She rejects a ridiculous proposal from her cousin William Collins, to her mother's chagrin.
Her sister Jane is heartbroken after Mr Bingley left Netherfield, without a word.
All this is nothing to the sorrow to come.
The combination of a young girl's folly, a scoundrel and a winter storm results in tragedy and the ruin of the Bennet family.
They are shunned by both gentry and merchants. No longer able to shop in Meryton, they are forced to travel some distance for supplies.
The family and staff are trapped within the borders of their estate, Longbourn. The isolation and the abandonment by friends and relations is hard to bear.
Eventually, they realise that the Bennet daughters must go out into the world, if they are to have any hope of a secure future.
We follow the sister's journeys, alongside the parallel tale of Darcy.
This book is difficult to put down! A rollercoaster of tragedy, angst, hope, love and the menace of deluded narcissist!
I was kept on the edge of my seat and the resolution was so satisfying.
Nan Harrison doesn't put a foot wrong and the narration from Simon Alison is excellent.
