An Excellent Walker

A Pride and Prejudice Variation

De: Lyndsay Constable

Narrado por: Eric Priessman

Is Mr. Darcy capable of wanting to marry just for the sake of love?

An unexpected meeting between Mr Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet becomes suddenly and shockingly dangerous. Mr. Darcy is determined to protect Elizabeth, but his exertions leave him grievously wounded. Sheltering with him in a shepherd’s hut, Elizabeth tends to Darcy’s injuries while trying to suppress her concern about the impropriety of her circumstances, as well as the fever-induced proposal that results.

While they survive the imminent threat, others at Rosings do not, altering the fates of their friends and relations. The connection between them seems to have thus come to an end. Elizabeth’s emotions, enflamed by the forced intimacy in the shepherd’s hut, are aggravated when Darcy—now healing from his injuries—arrives to make good on his proposal. What woman wants an offer of marriage made in service to her reputation rather than to romantic love? Or was there love there all along?

A Wonderful Take on Lizzy and Darcy

Pride and Prejudice is one of my all time favorite novels. This alternative take on events during Elizabeth's Kent visit is absolutely wonderful. Getting a new point of view on Darcy as a person was just lovely.

Loved the story. Needed a different narrator.

I really enjoyed this pride and prejudice variation. The story was well written and Darcy and Elizabeth’s personalities were true to canon.
But the narrator had difficulty with female voices; they were high pitched and sounded elderly. I found it quite distracting.

Great story

A great story. A story with some angst. But not too much. Just enough. A love story. Great Jaff

Enjoyable Variation with Surprise ‘Invasion Force’

Unusual happenings in this P&P Variation - especially Elizabeth and Darcy’s potentially compromising situation and the reason for it. I liked the backstory of how Mrs Hill taught the young Elizabeth healing remedies. The new-to-me narrator has a good voice but Reads the book with little emotion or inflection. He sounded rather flat to me, however, he seemed to warm up over the reading and by the end of the story, he was better.

Brave Elizabeth

I loved the premise and the adventure Elizabeth and Darcy had, especially brave an d determined Elizabeth. Darcy needed some time to remember their interaction but there is a HEA. Highly recommended.
