Six years after Napoleon's invasion of England. Fitzwilliam Darcy is a traitor. He even admits to collaborating with Napoleon's troops. And Elizabeth Bennet despises all traitors. But she can't make sense of Darcy. He doesn't act like a traitor. He risks his own safety to save young women from the French. And how can she despise a man who loves puppies?

Story
There's only one fact that notorious rake Lord Charles Carlisle and his cousin, Fitzwilliam Darcy, can agree upon: a house party given by the Marquess of Bentham is bound to be intolerably dull. To relieve his boredom, Lord Charles accepts a bet that he can seduce his sister's pretty friend during their stay at Bentham Park. After all, it's easy money for an experienced seducer. Why should he care if his staid cousin Darcy disapproves?

Story
The river isn't the only thing overflowing in Hunsford when a natural disaster forces Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy to work together. The residents of flood-stricken Hunsford, seeking refuge in the parsonage atop the hill, are unaware they are interrupting Darcy's disastrous proposal. Even worse, the flood has washed out the only bride to Rosings Park, stranding Darcy with the woman who has just refused his offer of marriage. But it may already be too late to redeem Elizabeth's reputation.

Elizabeth Bennet can't imagine anything worse than being stranded by a blizzard in a tiny cottage with proud and unpleasant Mr. Darcy. But being trapped there for days - and nights - with an injured and confused Mr. Darcy who keeps saying the oddest things about her is even worse. At least he possesses the useful ability of lighting a fire to keep them from freezing to death. But when he puts his arms around her, she discovers the hearth isn't the only place he knows how to build a fire.

When Fitzwilliam Darcy, still smarting from Elizabeth’s rejection, discovers she was forced to flee her home in disgrace owing to his actions, his course is clear. He must marry her. It is a matter of honor. All he has to do is find her and propose. Surely that will be simple enough. But Elizabeth does not want to be found, especially not by Darcy. From the moment he entered her life, he has caused disaster after disaster. Now he has followed her all the way to Scotland, foolishly certain it is within his power to fix all her problems. But far more is at stake than Darcy knows.

Story
One of Jane Austen’s most beloved works, Pride and Prejudice, is vividly brought to life by Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike ( Gone Girl). In her bright and energetic performance of this British classic, she expertly captures Austen’s signature wit and tone. Her attention to detail, her literary background, and her performance in the 2005 feature film version of the novel provide the perfect foundation from which to convey the story of Elizabeth Bennet, her four sisters, and the inimitable Mr. Darcy.

Publisher's Summary
Mr. Darcy is at his wits' end. Elizabeth Bennet, the woman he can't live without, overhears him insulting her family. Now she won't even listen to his apologies. Then his old friend Sir Anthony Duxbury tells him two of their friends are in terrible danger. If Darcy wants to help them, they have to leave for Yorkshire immediately.
But something doesn't add up. Elizabeth claims to know Sir Anthony, too - but by a different name. What game is his old friend playing? And is it dangerous?
Even Sir Anthony says the trip is dangerous. The Luddite rebels are on the verge of armed revolt - and he should know, because he's one of them. Darcy's cousin Lady Frederica decides she's going with them anyway, and insists on bringing Elizabeth. Could this be Darcy's chance to earn Elizabeth's forgiveness and her love?
Elizabeth would rather face a squad of Napoleon's soldiers than spend three days trapped in a carriage with Darcy and his headstrong cousin, but she has her own reason for agreeing to come. If she can just manage to keep her temper, she may be able to rescue her uncle from financial ruin.
But when a Luddite riot erupts around them, it's Darcy and Elizabeth who need rescuing - from each other.
Mr. Darcy's Journey is a variation on Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice by nationally best-selling author Abigail Reynolds.

too fictional for my taste
although I enjoyed the book. And the author explains the historical facts at the end and explains the credibility of most part of the story and some of the characters, I did not enjoy that those facts "made" Elizabeth Bennett and Mr Darcy to be involved in several compromises which I believe are totally out of character for both of them and therefore ruined the book for me. Don't get me wrong, I loved the compromises but for the time of the story I don't believe them as easy to dismiss as they were. I read another variation that involved a light compromise between the two of them and both of them acted as they should, and it seemed more realistic than this one.
Also, I didn't like that lady Matlock was so flippant about compromising miss Elizabeth.
overall, the story was entertaining enough but not one of my favorite variations

If you love the Darcy's you'll enjoy this!
Any additional comments?
This is another great variation to the Elizabeth & Darcy story. It weaves in enough of the original story to keep the spirit of JA’s book part of this story, however, the mix of circumstances develops into a new story. The story seems to get into more detail about the political situation at the time, how it affected friends and family and how Darcy and Elizabeth managed through it. Elizabeth Klett is the narrator and does an excellent job. She helps make the story engaging with her ability to distinguish each character with a unique voice. I can easily recommend this audiobook. I also must say that I received this title for free in exchange for an unbiased review.

Mr. Darcy's Journey
What did you love best about Mr. Darcy's Journey?
I love the historic period, the look into the lives, beliefs, customs and thoughts of the people living in the time period.
We all know the basics of P&P, what I love is the details into everyday lives, seeing the characters we love as real people dealing with real life situations.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I enjoyed both Darcy and Elizabeth.
we learned Darcy is so much more than the strict noble. The way he treated the people who work for him was remarkable. He comes off as prideful and set in his ways, but as a lord , e was good to his subjects.
I liked discovering more about the everyday Darcy, the person with responsibilities, a young sister to protect, a manor to manage etc. Seeing how he deals with each situation that requires his attention speaks for his character.
Elizabeth was also a revelation. We see she did develop an attachment to Wikham. She, with her sense, was blinded by his sweet talk and lies. It showed us a more human and relatable Elizabeth.
What about Elizabeth Klett’s performance did you like?
I loved the book and Elizabeth's narration from beginning to end.
She used the perfect tone to narrate each character, their different modes. She conveyed their characters with her tone of voice and added to an already beautiful story.

Well Worth The Credit
I was pleasantly surprised with this storyline. I was expecting this “historical” to be much heavier as a result, but Ms. Reynolds was able to artistically weaver the heavy events of the Luddite Uprising into the fabric of this variation.
Ms. Klett did a wonderful job as well.
Well worth the credit! Will listen to again!

Darcy and Elizabeth in a Revolution
I truly loved this book and listened non stop until I finished. It was an engaging story. Many of the same elements of the Jane Austen classic Pride and Prejudice were present, but changed up to fit the plot. There are also some new and entertaining characters from the classic The story builds from discontent on the part of a gentleman regarding the rights of man and the plight of workers in mills. It results in Revolution skirmishes in England started by the down trodden. Elizabeth and Darcy are right in the middle of it along with his cousins, Aunt and Uncle. There is a little heat between Elizabeth and Darcy, but does not go over board. I will probably listen to this again.

I am a huge fan of Reynolds' P&P variations and this one is no exception. It's well done and Elizabeth Klett is a perfect narrator for it. I was swept away on an audio journey and transported back into one of my favorite places to be - right there beside Mr Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet.

A very different but enjoyable variation
...and an interesting look at what was happening in England outside the drawing rooms of JA's novels. At times, some of the characters come across as a bit 2-dimensional and I found the behaviour of Lady Matlock (and to a lesser extent, her daughter), officious and slightly creepy, as she acts as puppet-master to everyone around her, especially Elizabeth.
Poor Elizabeth is manipulated from the very start of the titular journey and she never regains her own agency against Lady M. Early in the story, Darcy mentally compares Lady Catherine's demands to Lady Matlock's almost imperceptible manouvering. Darcy's thoughts are affectionate, but there's a lot of truth in the comparison: they both expect their own way.
Even when Darcy is being his most insulting, he still respects Elizabeth, even though she (understandably) can't see it. As she learns more about him, I can't help feeling that his honesty and lack of manipulation must be a welcome relief!I
Despite my issues with some elements of the story, I did enjoy it and EK's narration was good, although not great. I don't think I'd listen all the way through again, but I may skip sections and listen to Darcy and Elizabeth's part of the story.
For those that worry about such things, this is a clean variation, which doesn't go beyond passionate kissing.

Action packed and interestingly detailed!
i thoroughly enjoyed this variation of Pride and Prejudice, though I get the sense I might have missed the first part of this. Abigail Reynolds has added in diverse characters, especially strong women and more fair-minded men, historical events and a lot of action. Ms. Bennett and Mr. Darcy are put through significant challenges before their coming together becomes the natural and expected conclusion. Elizabeth Klett has provided a well matches, stellar performance of this historical romance. Overall, very enjoyable.

Fascinating story
This audiobook/story is more than a Lizzy/Darcy love story, it is a history lesson, wrapped up in a brilliant story that prevents it from becoming a dry historical tome.
Abigail Reynolds has taken a bit of poetic licence to fit the events that happened in the north of England in 1812 into a very entertaining story.
The characters, both those established by JA in P&P and those newly minted by Ms Reynolds, are so wonderfully portrayed, they just jump off the page, and are bought to superb life by the amazing talent of Elizabeth Klett. This native of New Jersey seems more British than many a native Briton; her accents—cultured female as well as male, to the more provincial accents of the poor and uneducated masses from the north of England—are absolutely spot on. Her talent is prodigious, and any of Abigail Reynolds’ works narrated by Ms Klett are amongst my favourite audiobooks. I wish all of Ms Reynolds’ works that are recorded into audiobook format were narrated by Ms Klett.
Me Darcy’s Journey is satisfyingly long, has plenty of excitement and enough Lizzy/Darcy interaction to satisfy. My favourite character is Lady Matlock, a truly magnificent character. In fact, her ladyship could well be an aristocratic, older and more worldly version of Miss Elizabeth Bennet. Though Lizzy would probably not be so very interfering!
Highly recommend. 👍😀
