The Cheapside Runners

A Pride and Prejudice Variation

De: Wade H Mann

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Fitzwilliam Darcy owes a debt to the most unexpected of men—a tradesman from Cheapside who rescued his sister from certain ruin. When Mr. Gardiner of the "Cheapside Runners" intervenes to stop George Wickham's scheme, Darcy must confront his own prejudices and failings. His attempts to repay the debt lead to a humbling encounter that forces him to question everything he thought he knew about proper behavior and true gentility.

As Darcy resolves to improve himself, he encounters a puzzling young woman in Hertfordshire who, despite her apparent intelligence and charm, seems determined never to exchange a single word with him. Could there be a connection between this mysterious lady and the man from Cheapside who set him on his path to self-improvement?

A tale of unexpected connections, reluctant growth, and the challenge of becoming worthy of love.

Whoa - this is Some Lizzy <> VV is Pretty Good

Another amusing - and unusual - variation from this author. Quite a Different Lizzy Bennet after an experience when she was 15 sends her to her Uncle Gardiner. A Tougher, Smarter, Lizzy - much better equipped to deal with roguish males. I very much enjoyed this variation (or maybe it should be vagary). Many great scenes, lots of good dialogue, humor and some very interesting (and thoughtful) details of what women were up against in Regency times. Mr. Mann always comes up with creative ideas for his stories. Can’t wait for his next. And I recommend the other variations or vagaries he has on Audible. The Virtual Voice is pretty good - some flaws but overall good.
