Longbourn estate in Hertfordshire, home of the Bennet family, is entailed. Armed with this unfortunate knowledge, the females of the family have long lived with the threat of eviction from their beloved home should Mr. Bennet pass away before his time.

When the unthinkable happens, the Bennet ladies prepare to leave their home as the heir arrives to take control of his inheritance. Salvation comes, however, by the most surprising of news: Mrs. Bennet is with child.

While waiting for the child to be born, Elizabeth takes control over the estate. Fortunately, the Netherfield party arrives, and the attentions of the new master of the estate bring them all to hope that Jane, at least, will achieve her heart's desire.

But little does Elizabeth know she is also the subject of a gentleman's interest, for Mr. Darcy sees her as an excellent woman who is eager to uphold the trust with which her father favored her. Despite his feelings, Elizabeth is slow to understand the love that might be within her grasp, as she struggles with her duty under the specter of the heir, who believes the Bennets have cheated him of his inheritance and will do whatever he can to ensure he gets what he believes is his.

I loved this variation. Lots of excitement and a completely new personality for all the character’s. Delightful! However the narrator’s interpretation was very grating. Her cadence was so strange and drawn out that the only way I could get through this book was by speeding up to 1.3. Still well worth it!

Excellent story - painful narration

I love all of the pride and prejudice variations and this one is not exception. The only problem with this story is the horrible narrator! The entire time of listening to story all I can think is that this person is so uptight and cannot be bothered to actually put any emotions into the narration of this story. It feels like Caroline Bingly is narrating. the narrator is over dramatic and it makes me want to just turn off the story.

I really enjoyed the story, but oh so hard to get over the mediocre narration. It was so hard to tell which character was speaking. I had to really get over it, but the story was worth it.

Great story, very different attitudes of character

This story is SO GOOD!! The narrator definitely takes getting used to, but she actually does an excellent job with voices and emotions. I disliked her a lot at first when I started listening to the books she narrated, but she has become one of my favorites!

This story is low angst, clean and very exciting. It will make you cry! Give it a chance! This authors variations are excellent, this is by far one of my favorites.

Excellent JAFF!!

I saw other reviews that were tough on the performance. I do not believe this is the actors fault as I have heard others narrated by her that were not like that. I suspect someone slowed down her recording to extend the length, which makes it sound as if she has an over-exaggerated manner of speaking with a lisp. This is solved by playing it at 1.1 or 1.2 speed, she sounds far more natural and like her other recordings at those speeds.
I loved this story, I enjoyed the characters and their development. I was engaged in what was happening up through the satisfying ending. I will buy anything I see by this author, I just enjoy their take each and every time.

Wonderful retelling!
