Summary

One distressing night in Ramsgate, Elizabeth Bennet impulsively offers Georgiana Darcy aid. Scandalous rumors soon surround the ladies and Fitzwilliam Darcy, forcing Elizabeth and Darcy, strangers to each other, to marry.

Darcy despises everything about his marriage to the daughter of an insignificant country gentleman with vulgar relations. Georgiana, humiliated after a near-elopement with George Wickham and full of Darcy pride, hates her new sister. Their family look upon Elizabeth with suspicion and do little to hide their sentiments.

Separated from those who love her, Elizabeth is desperate to prove herself to her new family despite their disdain. Just as she loses all hope, Darcy learns to want her good opinion. He will have to face his prejudices and uncover the depths Georgiana’s misdeeds to earn it, and Elizabeth will have to learn to trust him if she is to ever to find happiness being Mrs. Darcy.

Interesting variation

I enjoyed this overall, but perhaps Elizabeth's misery was dwelt on rather too long. The use of language was good, with only a few Americanisms and a rather glaring anachronism - grey squirrels were introduced in the 1890's, not 1812, when the only squirrels in Britain were reds.
The narration by Harry Frost was good, once I became used to the rather jerky delivery, which jarred rather at first.
A solid 4/5.

Enjoyed every minute

Harry Frost did a great job of narrating & the story was compelling. I had been putting this one to the bottom of the pile because I dislike angst but I thoroughly enjoyed the story.

Outstanding

An outstanding variation, one of the best I've ever read. The plot is carefully thought-out, the characters developed with restraint and the writing is a delight. Harry Frost's narration is very pleasant to listen to.

Great story brought to life by a great reader

Lots of angst but also lots of romance in an amazing book. This is definitely a favourite, I read it twice and listening to the audiobook is just a wonderful way to rediscover it all over again.
