Becoming a Man

A Charles Bingley Pride and Prejudice Variation

De: Grandy Eden

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Becoming a Man is a heartfelt Pride and Prejudice variation that follows Charles Bingley as he navigates the consequences of his past indecisiveness and the influence of others. Inspired by a profound sermon on personal transformation, Bingley embarks on a journey of self-discovery, learning to stand firm in his convictions, manage his estate responsibly, and pursue true affection. Alongside his sisters' and friends' romantic entanglements, Charles confronts his own character, ultimately finding happiness and becoming the man he was always meant to be, proving that true worth lies not in societal expectations, but in the deliberate cultivation of one's inner self.
Will Caroline Bingley ever marry? Will Jane forgive Charles for his desertion? What if Mr. Collins is a wonderful man...what happens to the entail? And why are there four weddings? Come and see!

And they lived happily ever after!

I really enjoyed this episode extremely low angst version! Characters were well behaved and surprisingly insightful and grateful!!

P&P where all the characters win

I was a bit uncertain when I picked out these titles by Grandy Eden since they didn’t have a lot of reviews and had virtual narration, but I loved this book so much! Grandy’s story telling style was just what you would hope for if Jane Austen herself had written more novels and her reimagining of the characters was loving and deep and honest. Each path that changed was true to the characters Jane wrote (except her Mr. Collins who was an exceptionally better man in Grandy’s version!). The virtual narration also suited the Regency style story so it worked very well. I downgraded that bit in the review for a few abruptnesses and a bit of flatness in the narration, but it was honestly so much more than I expected from a computer reading the book.

My favorite Austen Fan Fiction to date!!!
