About this listen

Could anything be worse than to be trapped in a confined space with the woman you love?

Fitzwilliam Darcy knows his duty, and it does not involve succumbing to his fascination for a dark-eyed beauty from an unheard of family in Hertfordshire. He has run away from her once already. Yet fate has a wicked sense of humour and deals him a blow that not only throws him back into her path but quite literally puts him at Elizabeth Bennet’s mercy. Stranded with her at a remote inn and seriously hampered by injury, Darcy very quickly loses the battle to conquer his feelings, but can he win the war to make himself better understood without the ability to speak?

Thus begins an intense journey to love and understanding that is at times harrowing, sometimes hilarious and at all times heart-warming.

I enjoyed this book, and it’s far better than many other Jane Austen Fan Fiction stories. I believed in the characters and their relationship, and I’ll get more by this author.

Enjoyable

Speechless is a beautifully written and very original P&P variation. The unusual twist to canon events offers Darcy and Elizabeth plenty of time to spend alone together and get to know each other -- always a big plus. A light, rewarding read, the story moves on at a perfect pace and finishes just when it should, not a dull moment in sight. I highly recommend it!

Altogether charming

One of the very few genuinely good P&P Variations, read it a few years ago, now listened to it with pleasure.

Inspired

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

The narrator is not up to the job and made the story sound more pedestrian than it is.

Enjoyable but 3.5 stars

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Somewhat overly descriptive for the first 30 minutes but improved. The narrator was very monotone, couldn’t do a female voice and pronounced some words incorrectly. Overall an enjoyable story but the narrator was not up to par.

Tolerable Narration❣️
