About this listen

Mr. Darcy is rich, well-connected and handsome, but he is also exhausted, broken-hearted and afraid. Can Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet find happiness together?

Fitzwilliam Darcy’s father was an unreliable rake who brought their family much trouble before his death. Darcy’s fears are potent, but his resolve to care for his sister and mother is strong.

Darcy’s uncle, the Earl of Matlock, has gone into debt and may lose his estate. He plans to force Georgiana Darcy to marry his son to gain access to her dowry, and Lady Catherine may ally with him due to Darcy’s reluctance to marry her daughter Anne.

Elizabeth finds herself drawn into the struggles with Darcy’s relatives and threats to his beloved mother and sister. Darcy is mesmerized by Miss Elizabeth of Longbourn, even as she becomes enamored with his gallant heart. Can love overcome their circumstances?

This novel is a sweet and clean, low angst Pride and Prejudice variation where all of the Bennet sisters have happy endings, with a satisfying epilogue.

the narrator doesn't make any attempt at different voices for each character. the intonation is jarring. some pronunciations are confusingly wrong. Longburn and Lady Aaaan are the two most obvious. the story itself is different and gives plenty of different results but it was tough to keep on track with due to how hard the listen was.

Enjoyed the story. The narration was heavily accented which did not sound right for this most English of stories. Misplaced Inflection and intonation and incorrect pronunciation of some names and words was irritating. It wasn't awful but could have been more enjoyable.

The story was ok, a little too soft for me, but I didn't like the narrator: she's not a native English speaker, so many words aren't pronounced correctly and the intonation is inappropriate in many places.

Story ok, narration not ok

The accent of the reader is so strong as to make this audiobook difficult to listen to. I gave up.
