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.

Loved how Lizzy cared for Darcy throughout and how she was able to lip read him better than even his own family. The Matlocks and Lady C are completely ridiculous in their pomposity. Thoroughly enjoyed the story and the narrator (this is the first I’ve listened to Mr. Matthews) but will definitely listen to other stories narrated by him

Sweet story, ODC learn about each other despite Darcy’s lack of voice

Excellent writing. Very unique perspective on how Darcy and Jane come to fall in love. This rendition showcased how easily the two misunderstood their intentions and reactions by making verbal communication impossible. It allowed them to rely on only their hearts and the chemistry between to eek out truths.

I also really liked how much of the other aspects of the story remained unaltered aside from the timing of events.

Good narration.

Very imaginative!

i was surprised to discover how much I liked this P&P variation. It was literate, witty, well-written, and the story was truly imaginative. We always know it will turn out 'right'...and Darcy was in love, without being sappy, which too often happens in these P&P variations. A new cast of characters were well-drawn, and we get a whole new setting in which things take place. The cast of the usual characters was there, with clever things said. There was a sense of a lot having been edited out, so that it was a shorter story. And there are leaps of time, so that I would have to go back and review the narrative to identify where the transition happens. When I listen to books, I'm often preoccupied with other things, and sometimes falling asleep. So I actually listened to this book at least 5 times, in pieces, to be sure, but it was so good, I wanted all the details. Jessie Lewis is a name I'll be looking for in the P&P variation list.

Absolutely loved this original take on P&P

The challenge of Mr. Darcy not able to speak made me dubious. It wasn't too bad of a plot and a good listen. Enjoyed it.

Not Bad
