An Excellent Walker

A Pride and Prejudice Variation

De: Lyndsay Constable

Narrado por: Eric Priessman

Is Mr. Darcy capable of wanting to marry just for the sake of love?

An unexpected meeting between Mr Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet becomes suddenly and shockingly dangerous. Mr. Darcy is determined to protect Elizabeth, but his exertions leave him grievously wounded. Sheltering with him in a shepherd’s hut, Elizabeth tends to Darcy’s injuries while trying to suppress her concern about the impropriety of her circumstances, as well as the fever-induced proposal that results.

While they survive the imminent threat, others at Rosings do not, altering the fates of their friends and relations. The connection between them seems to have thus come to an end. Elizabeth’s emotions, enflamed by the forced intimacy in the shepherd’s hut, are aggravated when Darcy—now healing from his injuries—arrives to make good on his proposal. What woman wants an offer of marriage made in service to her reputation rather than to romantic love? Or was there love there all along?

An Excellent Walker is a Pride and Prejudice variation.

Great story

A great story. A story with some angst. But not too much. Just enough. A love story. Great Jaff

Enjoyable Variation with Surprise ‘Invasion Force’

Unusual happenings in this P&P Variation - especially Elizabeth and Darcy’s potentially compromising situation and the reason for it. I liked the backstory of how Mrs Hill taught the young Elizabeth healing remedies. The new-to-me narrator has a good voice but Reads the book with little emotion or inflection. He sounded rather flat to me, however, he seemed to warm up over the reading and by the end of the story, he was better.

Brave Elizabeth

I loved the premise and the adventure Elizabeth and Darcy had, especially brave an d determined Elizabeth. Darcy needed some time to remember their interaction but there is a HEA. Highly recommended.

The drama was well paced. Original. Firt

I’m not sure what trope to name this, but Darcy gets injured and Elizabeth needs to take care of him is a kind of a long named term. I have read many and I would rank this one right up there with the best.

So indeed, Darcy is injured and by a French soldier who was part of a ‘landing party.’ It was unique because these soldiers arrived in hot air balloons. First they hobble off toward safety and Darcy thinks they should hide in a hunter’s cottage, because it’s getting dark. But he’s also in a lot of pain and trying to be brave. However the surrounding area is very dangerous so venturing out for any reason like water is very risky.

What follows is alternately scary, humorous and sigh worthy before they are able to get out and head to Rosings. The drama doesn’t end there. I won’t spoil any more of it but it was a great story. I highly recommend it.

Enjoyed!

I loved reading this story so o wanted to experience it in audible form.
It did not disappoint!
