Fallen: A Pride & Prejudice Variation

De: Jessie Lewis

Narrado por: Stevie Zimmerman

The air was all gone, and coldness overtook her, as though she had fallen into icy water and was sinking into the blackness. Her stomach churned, as it was wont to do these days. He would not marry her. She was ruined.

The arrival of two eligible gentlemen at Netherfield Park sends ripples of excitement through nearby Meryton. But Mr Bingley and Mr Darcy are not the only additions to the neighbourhood raising eyebrows. An unremarkable cottage in the woods between Netherfield and Meryton also has new tenants. One of them — a lively little girl with an adventurous spirit, a love of the outdoors, and a past shrouded in mystery — draws the notice of more than one local.

Elizabeth Bennet — young, intelligent, and unfashionably independent — forms a poor first impression of the haughty Mr Darcy. On closer acquaintance, and against her better judgment, her disgust begins to give way to more tender feelings. Yet standing in the way of any potential romance is the closely guarded history of a certain little girl in a cottage in the woods. Elizabeth might be ready to disclose her hidden affections, but she is about to learn that some things are better kept secret, and some hearts are safer left untouched.

Unique premise

As always, this narrator knocks it out of the park. The writing includes all of the diction and characters we know and love. I'm not certain how consistent this is with canon, but I know that doesn't normally mean a lot in JAFF. That being said, it was quite good, but I couldn't make up my mind between a 4/4.5.

Great book

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Well written and the narrator did a great job. I highly recommend this book to a Jane Austen fan fiction lover.

loved this!!

the story, the interactions, the narration were all wonderfully done. one of my favorites.

best of the Pride and Prejudice variations

excellent, intriguing clean, really kept me listening all night and Stevie Zimmerman is the best

Well written and faithful narrative

I enjoyed this P&P variation as the characters are faithful to the original ones created by Jane Austen. The plot twist was very interesting but not completely believable. I really liked how the author expands upon and shares Lizzy’s private thoughts, especially when they highlight her attraction to Mr. Darcy.
