A Retelling of Pride and Prejudice

De: Newton Priors

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Elizabeth Bennet is touring Derbyshire with her Uncle and Aunt Gardiner. They stop to see Pemberley and Elizabeth encounters Mr. Darcy, a man she has never met before. She expects never to see him again, but her expectations prove mistaken. Repeatedly.

Revised Edition (February 2024)

"Unfailingly romantic, unremittingly witty, and profound"
"Belongs on the shelf with Austen's own books"

Suspenseful!

Some of Austen’s witty’s dialogues found in unexpected scenes. This variation stayed true to Austen’s style but was a happy divergent.

Well done! Great tale!

I thoroughly enjoyed the word play, the vocabulary, and the persiflage. Thank you. Newton, you need to quit teaching and start writing full-time.

A "bookish" retelling of P&P

Though the story was often fun and interesting, Lizzy was unlikeable in the first half of the story which took me out of the story several times. I'm also a fan of severe consequences for the villains, which this retelling doesn't dish out... Happy for Mary and Anne, off canon but cute.
