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.

suprise ending

This story was predictable in the begiining but kept me guessing as the story progress , as each fact was revealed

slowly I was suprised at everything I thought I had correct was wrong. Stevie Zimmerman is my favorite Pride and Prejudice

narrator. She can bring dull story to life but she did not have to this for this tale. Sometimes it frustrated me because I wanted

the characters to stop believing other people and start believing each but I am impatient person. Overall I enjoy the audiobook

and will re listen to it again.

Interesting mystery interwoven with canon backdrop

I enjoyed the mystery of just who the little girl was, I liked the characterization of Darcy, and the writing is good. The rating reflects my dislike of variations that slavishly follow the original. Ms Lewis had a very interesting idea and ruined it by dropping it into a canon story. I was skipping madly to follow the mystery. I have read the original and hundreds of variations that did not stray from the original to be interested in wasting my time on reading the same thing once again. I did not like Elizabeth in this variation, even though she is close to canon. Maybe because she is close to canon. I love Ms Austen’s book but to be honest, I find Jane to be an empty headed cipher and Elizabeth to be a smart aleck who is in love with her own opinions. Ms Austen wrote wonderfully flawed characters. I love the variations that use canon as a baseline and jump off from there. Ms Lewis’ “Speachless” is a good example of an off canon story that shakes both Darcy and Elizabeth out of their comfort zones. This story could have done that, but did not.
The narration was awesome.

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.

One of my favorites

Enjoyable from beginning to end. The child in the story was adorable. Stevie Zimmerman as always did an awesome job narriating.

Mr Darcy has Secrets

Very good story. The secrets are slowly revealed and unexpected. Misunderstandings abound and delay the happily ever after .
