Rewinding Time

A Pride & Prejudice Variation

De: Jeff Bigler

Narrado por: Benjamin Fife

Rewinding Time: A Pride & Prejudice Variation is a novel in which Darcy and Elizabeth separately (and unbeknownst to each other) find themselves in possession of a potion that enables them to travel back one hour in time. The potion enables Darcy and Elizabeth to go back and change their mistakes, sometimes only to make new and different ones, and occasionally with farcical results. You will enjoy listening to multiple variations of some of your favorite scenes from Pride & Prejudice, much more than Darcy or Elizabeth will enjoy experiencing them…

Can rewinding time permit you to fix errors?

Can rewinding time permit you to fix errors?
Oh to have Darcy & Elizabeth fix their errors as they happen..... this story explores that possibility. It was fun to watch the replays (sometimes for several attempts) to get things right or at least better. There were some hysterical scenes that I would have loved to see what would have happened (maybe the author can do bonus scenes to share later just for the fun of it). Oh the Huntsford time was one to sit back & see it unfold. Wickham's part felt a little pushed but at least it all worked out in the end. Will I read it again, yep.

Inventive Premise

This story has a fresh new inventive twist for a variation. I have read just a few novels based on a Jane Austen book that featured time travel, and this one is very good. It’s a subject that my brain usually has difficulty unwrapping due to likely paradoxes. However, Jeff addresses these in the thoughts of Darcy and Elizabeth. The time span of one hour per trip back in time makes the changes easy to imagine. The “revision” dialogue between our dear couple is thoughtful and engaging; without their tempers flaring, they can be fairly rational. Also, Elizabeth’s revised comments to Lady Catherine during her Longbourn intrusion are masterful. Benjamin Fife injects life into the written words, providing the listener with a most enjoyable experience. ⭐️

A Little Bit Magical

What if Elizabeth and Darcy, independently, managed to save the life of a very gifted apothecary? What if said apothecary had managed to brew a potion that would take the user one hour back in time with the ability to change anything that had happened in the prior hour? Would ODC rewrite certain uncomfortable interactions and maybe come to a greater understanding sooner?

What if the same potion happened to fall into the hands of an amoral villain? What kind of havoc might that power create? Mr Bigler has gifted us with an intriguing scenario for ODC to explore and experience. I think you will enjoy the story. And of course Benjamin Fife, as always, brings this story to life in his own inimitable way.
