A Fortuitous Fall

A Pride and Prejudice Variation

De: Laraba Kendig

Narrado por: Lydia Kendig

Darcy and Elizabeth find their lives greatly affected by a changed Mr. Collins when one false step causes startling consequences.

Mr. Collins is knocked unconscious while dancing at Netherfield and requires medical care, which prevents the Bingleys and Mr. Darcy from leaving for London after the ball. The situation grows only more complicated when Mr. Collins wakes up...changed.

With a thoroughly odd Mr. Collins at Netherfield recovering from his injuries and Mr. Wickham lurking in the background, love swirls between Jane and Bingley, and Darcy fights desperately against his attraction for Elizabeth.

Unique storyline

I love Laraba Kendig writing. Always a great story with wonderful character development. I enjoy Harry frost and Stevie zimmerman’s reading more.

Fairly entertaining

The story is interesting, the writing while not superb is still far better then some. The author writes in a way that borders anachronistic but not quite.
The performer mispronounces many words and has a stilted cadence. I think that with practice they would be fine.
I own the paperback as well as the audiobook now and wouldn’t recommend against listening for a pleasant few hours of low angst , light hearted fare.

Genius Collins

I really enjoyed this story that places Mr. Collins under a new light. He hit his head at the Netherfield ball and awakens without his obsequious personality. It’s explained that his horrid father would beat him if he was reading a book, causing his true personality to be submerged. It’s always nice to see a positive change in Collins. While the audiobook narrator doesn’t have the polish of a trained professional, she has a pleasant voice and I applaud her efforts. Laraba Kendig’s uplifting writing is perfect for audiobooks.

enjoyable

the narrator mispronounced a few words but nothing horrible, more cute than anything. story was excellent. I liked Mr. Collins in this one; it wasgood to see him treated well.

Very enjoyable story, very original

I like Laraba Kendig's books very much, and this story is a good example of her creative imagination: well written
and fun to read. My only problem was with the narrator's mistakes in pronunciation: Hertfordshire and Derbyshire are not pronounced as written to an American ear... and other words
