About this listen

Elizabeth Bennet made her sister a promise on her deathbed: to love and care for her son, young Charles Bingley, like her very own child. And so she did, for four years, until the boy's guardian, Fitzwilliam Darcy showed up in Meryton, insisting on removing the boy from his aunt, his life, and everything he knew, to be raised at Pemberley.

Elizabeth, determined to honor Jane, insists on going with them, soon finding herself installed at Pemberley as an unwanted guest of Mr. Darcy and his aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh. It's the year without a summer and Pemberley is austere and ghostly, with shadows and secrets lurking in every corner. With too much time to herself, Elizabeth soon finds herself wondering about Mr Darcy’s past, and the identity of a young lady who she reads about in the lady’s journal. She soon thinks she has a faithful sketch of Mr Darcy’s character until one key truth emerges which shatters all her prepossessions. Bit by bit the mysteries of Pemberley unravel — but what will she find at the end of it?

This Pride and Prejudice variation is written in the style of gothic novels of the regency era, such as Northanger Abbey. The beloved characters of Jane Austen in scenarios of the author's imagining.

Made a nice change to have a variation with a dark tone to it. Some of the narration and pronunciation was a bit annoying but didn't spoil my enjoyment.

I enjoyed this variation. It is a bit different than others but still very much Amy D’Orazio and therefore good. With the development of the story taking some time, it did feel like the love between Darcy and Elizabeth (especially on her part) felt a bit rushed. I liked the different development and stories of some of the supporting characters compared to the majority of adaptations. At moments, I found myself literally laughing out loud. The narration took some adjusting too. I never envisioned some of the male characters having such strong and deep voices (ie Mr. Bennett & Colonel Fitzwilliam based on their more lighthearted personalities) so that was a bit weird at first. Nevertheless it is a good story and listen and I would recommend.

Thoroughly enjoyed. Would recommend

The story was completely spoiled by the awful narration, together with the mispronunciation of Derbyshire! I couldn’t continue listening to the story

Horrendous narration
