No Less Resentment

A Pride and Prejudice Variation

All of his efforts to forget her had failed, and he had accepted that some part of her would always be with him

In the winter of 1812, a fatal accident on a stormy night plunges the Bennet family into mourning and scandal. Shunned and isolated from nearly everyone they have ever known and loved each of the Bennet sisters hurries to marry, to provide themselves the respectability of married women. Miss Elizabeth Bennet settles into marriage of prudence with a man she respects but could never completely love.

Fitzwilliam Darcy left Hertfordshire determined to put Elizabeth Bennet and her fine eyes behind him. Disgusted by society and plagued by memories he would just as soon forget, he tries to seclude himself at Pemberley. Alas, the treachery and extortion of someone he once trusted leads him to settle into a marriage both he and his bride despise.

Shortly after he becomes a widower, a chance discovery on a beach in Devon brings Elizabeth Bennet back to Darcy’s mind. Not knowing anything of what has befallen her in the years since that fateful autumn in Hertfordshire he sets out to find her and, if possible, court her.

Will the tumult both have endured in the years since last they met be put aside? Will their long-awaited second chance at love finally lead to happily ever after?

Wonderful Story and Narration

I loved this storey of ODC. Such a great story! And the narrator was wonderful.

Excessively diverting

Absolutely clever story and I was engaged from the first! Smart and entertaining. I don’t think I’ve read/listened to a “Pride and Prejudice” variation like this. Well done. Easy to recommend.

LOVED THE PLOT VARIATONS AND ROMANCE

in this Pride and Prejudice variation, the author did a wonderful job of changing the plot line and giving the story much more depth and intrigue. coupled with the deep emotions the storyline evokes, I truly enjoyed listening to this story, and will do so again and again. I really love the depths of character that both Darcy and Elizabeth develop as the story progresses. it's truly a gem among these variations.

New Top 5

I will be looking for more by Nan Harrison! Before starting this story be sure all of your chores or meetings are done for the day. Hopefully, find yourself a cozy corner or a shady spot under a palm tree on the beach. This is a binge worthy listen.

The characters are richly defined to the point of being more than one dimensional. They are well built and investable.

Simon Allison does a great job. Had this been SZ or HF the characters would’ve jumped out of the Audio dimension. 😉

Very well written! Excellent narration!

Narrator is one of the best I’ve heard. Story is very well developed. Unique plot
