A Chance Encounter

A Pride and Prejudice Variation (Elizabeth and Darcy: An Alternate Path to Happiness)

De: S. Neha

Narrado por: Arthur Rowan

A few days after the Hunsford Proposal, Darcy unexpectedly comes upon Elizabeth Bennet on the road to London. Her carriage has met with an accident! Of course, Darcy comes to the rescue despite the recent, scathing rejection of his hand and heart. Circumstances force them to seek refuge in a nearby farmhouse, posing as man and wife!

Why was Elizabeth travelling to London in a strange carriage, days before her visit to the metropolis was scheduled? Why did their hostess at the farmhouse welcome them with a shooting rifle. And with the acrimony and hurt of the proposal still raw, how would our dear couple navigate this chance encounter! This light-hearted story answers all these questions and more!

A variation with a few new twists!

This will definitely be a re-listen. Readers get to see Darcy’s kinder side throughout the story. There was a lot of miscommunication but, of course, a happy ending was had by all. Except for Lady Catherine, of course! The narrator was excellent! I refuse to to listen to any books read by a virtual voice.

Darcy to the rescue

Darcy is quite swoon worthy in this wonderful variation. He rescues Elizabeth and a young child after a carriage accident. Arthur Rowan’s narration brings the story to life. I hope he does more variations.

Chance Encounter

I love a variation that really tells a different story. This is absolutely one of those. Imagine Darcy caring for a sweet three-year old girl, singing lullabies, and kissing hurt fingers…❤️
Arthur Rowan has a super voice for Darcy. So nice to have another P&P variation narrated by him!

Definitely listen to a voice that is all that

The narrator’s voice is incredibly sexy, very good choice. I found the narrator to have a wonderful adaptation to usage of his voice to make the story come alive. I loved how this story of lost love found away to second chance. The road of love had many misfortunes, but ending wonderfully

Sweetly moving and original.

Darcy plays the great hero in this story, I fell in love with him all over again. There are very few othar canon characters in this story as much of it takes place on a small farm where Darcy took Elizabeth and the little girl Millie that he rescued from a carriage accident. Elizabeth was injured. Millie was frightened. Darcy poses them as man and wife in order to help and protect Elizabeth.

There are suspicious things going on at this farm, and Darcy tries to figure that out and help in other ways. Elizabeth is softening towards him as she sees all the kindnesses he bestows.

You’ve heard of the saying ‘The Kid Steals the Show’ well this adorable child does steal every scene she’s in. I fell in love with her for sure.

Darcy is searching for her remaining family, her father in particular, and that is a very interesting part of the plot.

I had forgotten about everything that happened after they left the farm and the sweet lady and her husband, and got back to London. I had read this before. That section of the story is quite interesting, and kept my interest into the wee hours. Don’t want to spoil anything else so I am ending my review here.

I really enjoyed this variation. Interesting narrator. He was new to me. Highly recommended. I will definitely listen to this again.
