Mr. Darcy's Letter

A Pride & Prejudice Variation

By: Abigail Reynolds

Narrated by: Pearl Hewitt

A lady's reputation is a fragile thing. If anyone ever discovered that Miss Elizabeth Bennet had received a letter from a single gentleman, she could be ruined...or forced to marry a man she detests. In this Pride & Prejudice variation, Elizabeth takes the safer course and refuses to read Mr. Darcy's letter of explanation. Returning home unaware of Wickham's true nature, Elizabeth confesses everything to him, putting both Mr. Darcy and herself in grave danger from Wickham's schemes.

Letters

What would they have done with texts and emails? I enjoyed the humor in this variation.

not at all what I hoped it would be..

the voice acting felt wildly out of place and the story is very rough around the edges imo

A Fine Listen

I have read and/or listened to almost all of Abigail Reynolds P&P variations. Her stories are well told and although romantic, not salacious. I only have two comlaints. First, Darcy remains unwilling to believe Elizabeth loves him and wishes for his second proposal and finally proposes as a way for Bingley to be free to marry Jane. That is almost as bad a proposal of his first in my opinion. Who wants a proposal that's base is that it will make your sister happy. It's a unique approach so I give kudos to Ms. Reynolds for this never before encountered approach in my many P&P variations readings.

My biggest complaint with this audiobook is the narrator. Although her female voices are just fine, ALL of the male voices are terrible. I cringed listening to Darcy's voice. If you can get past this fault it is a fine story.

Delightful story with excellent narration

I already knew I enjoyed the story, but I found myself listening to this book every chance I got. Thoroughly enjoyable tale for anyone who enjoys P&P variations. Will listen again!

Good

Another good story from Abigail Reynolds. A stubborn Elizabeth refuses to read Darcy’s letter after his failed proposal at Hunsford. There’s a Wickham surprise to be had. Pearl Hewitt does a
marvellous job with the narration and performance. My one quibble is her Darcy voice. It simply doesn’t endear me to him.
