Proof of Love

A Pemberley Tale

De: Brenda J. Webb

Narrado por: Stevie Zimmerman

Proof Of Love - A Pemberley Tale is a Pride and Prejudice variation. Not a simple retelling, it is an intriguing new story that does not follow canon. During his second year at Cambridge, a young Fitzwilliam Darcy accompanies a classmate to Lucas Lodge in Meryton for the holidays. While there, he encounters a girl of sixteen who instantly captures his attention and soon after, his heart. Yet, because Elizabeth Bennet could never meet his relations' expectations and he cannot abide her distasteful family, he returns to the university vowing to forget her. Two years later, they are thrown into each other's company and forced to spend several days together unchaperoned. Once they are discovered, Darcy suppresses his reservations about marriage to Elizabeth and does his duty in order to save her from ruin. Will a young, headstrong and prejudiced Elizabeth realize how mistaken she has been about her husband's character? Likewise, will a prideful, intractable but highly principled Fitzwilliam Darcy acknowledge his faults before their marriage is destroyed?

Great angsty plot, and romance!

I’m always so happy to see a Brenda Webb novel become available on audio! This one has an excellent plot filled with hours of drama, angst, and romance—and narrated by the one and only Stevie Zimmerman. I hope one day the sequel to this one becomes available too.

I love it when Elizabeth and Darcy meet at a younger age. Brenda Webb is a master at writing stories with angst, especially with respect to rivals. I found myself quite anxious for our dear couple until their true love for one another came to the fore, and even then the villains of the tale weren’t done with them. Whew! The touch of mystery throughout with respect to George Darcy’s second wife’s reason for her villainy kept it interesting. There’s a touch of faith and reliance on providence by Elizabeth and Darcy in this story which I appreciated in the telling—how could they not considering all they went through? I look forward to the promised sequel.

Mature content.

Highly recommend.
