This experience forever alters her relationships with her sisters, her parents, and her friends. How will a changed Elizabeth Bennet react to Fitzwilliam Darcy's insults at the Meryton Assembly?

A really good story

I loved the book and knew I had to get the audio book. It was awesome!
Elizabeth’s experience helps her change the fortunes of her family with the exception of Lydia.
I loved how the changes in the plot made the story more enjoyable.

Original story premise

I liked this story very much. There are some unique pairings of familiar characters which is always interesting. I enjoyed the arc of the characters changing and growing. It was just a bit too long and really could have been tightened up and still stayed with the premise of looking at other people especially potential marriage partners in a deeper way to assure future happiness.

I will definitely want to listen to this again and I do recommend it to Austen variation fans. I also recommend this author’s other books. Her stories are unique and well written.

Very good story

This was a long detailed story. It begins when Lizzy is 12. She experiences a bad thing with a tenant’s child which changes everything for her. She takes good care of everyone around her. Some different pairings which makes it a really good entertaining story. Great Jaff

Joining of the Bennet sisters

A long enjoyable story. Read the tale when first published. The Bennet sisters join forces to discover the worthy from the undeserving of the single men in want of a wife. Lydia is a spoiled brat and marries...not telling. Ok no spoilers here. Elizabeth and Darcy are yes in this tale however all our favorite characters join in with their own journeys and mates. The narration was good. The voice of Darcy was a little gruff for my taste but on the whole an enjoyable story with great narration.

Good variation.

Enjoyed the various love stories and the growth of understanding and acceptance of their partners needs.
