Mistaken

De: Jessie Lewis

Narrado por: Arthur Rowan

Darcy stared into the pitch-black interior of the carriage, wishing for the thousandth time that he had never sent Bingley back to Hertfordshire.

April 1812. Miss Elizabeth Bennet, headstrong and usually self-assured, returns home to Longbourn chastened and confused after a surprising marriage proposal from Mr Darcy, a man she thought she despised. When Mr Bingley arrives soon afterwards, sent by his friend Darcy to resume his romantic attentions to Elizabeth's beloved sister Jane, Elizabeth begins to feel something like regret for the man she so cruelly spurned.

The once proud Fitzwilliam Darcy, thoroughly humbled by the rejection of his suit and resolved to become a man worthy of the woman he loves, sets about righting all the wrongs of which Elizabeth has accused him. But when terrible news reaches him from Hertfordshire, it becomes apparent that encouraging the capricious Charles Bingley to return to Meryton might just be the worst decision the master of Pemberley has ever made.

Having assumed their own actions have ruined all hope of reconciliation, Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy soon learn they have greater troubles to overcome when betrayal of the worst sort threatens to forever ruin their chances of happiness.

Mistaken is a novel-length Pride and Prejudice variation set in Regency England.

hilarious, endearing, and insightful

other reviews said it was witty and sweet and generally an enticing story, and they were 100% right. this is the only book on audible I've bought outright and not with a credit and I do not regret it all.

absolutely fantastic!

Very well written

I have mixed feelings about this book. I really hated Jane in this book. Shocked is more like it. Not at all like her character. Shocked to see Caroline being the sound and wise person even more so. I didn't understand the grudge Lady Catherine held on for so long and why it took until the end to change.
This isn't a book I immediately want to listen to again, there are only a few I do that with, but maybe in a year or so.
I didn't understand why people would think ODC were not happy together. Most in society would know Darcy wouldn't offer for a woman if not....well a woman with low connection and very little dowry.
That had to move the story so all in all very well written.

One you come back to over and over again

By far my favorite story. I’ve read it and listened to several times. The narration is just perfect. The pace is fantastic throughout and the plot is engaging, even after several readings. This last reading was through audible on a long road trip and even my husband was chuckling and wondering what would happen next. Highly recommend!

Witty, Farcical, and Engaging

I keep coming back to this variation for the witty dialogue of Darcy and Elizabeth, the farcical humor, and the unique exploration of an egregiously malleable Mr. Bingley who is wildly uncomprehending and decision averse to the point of self destruction; so, when I realized there was an audiobook I couldn't wait to listen! I am happy to say that Arthur Rowan exceeded my expectations. His ability to give each character a distinct voice that perfectly matches their personality is astounding. The book, which is already immensely engaging, became even more so when told with the skill and versatility of Mr. Rowan.

A great audio book

Wow. The narrator was perfect. No silly voices that annoy you. The storyline was different as Jane was horrible to Lizzy because of jealousy. It made for a great book. I always wanted a story with a bad Jane and this was great. Not to worry Jane returns to herself after she realizes it’s her fault and not Lizzy’s. Darcy is a strong caring husband with a wicked sense of humor that Elizabeth appreciates.
