About this listen

A ride on a stormy day has disastrous consequences for Fitzwilliam Darcy, who finds himself grievously injured and bedridden–and with no memory of Elizabeth Bennet, the woman to whom he has been married for several years. Recovery is slow as his head injury has made it difficult for him to read and write, and a suspected fracture in his leg has made walking painful.

As Darcy’s recovery progresses, snippets of memory begin to plague him, and questions arise. He begins to suspect that his wife and those around him know more about the time leading up to his accident than they are telling him. Why was he riding on such an inauspicious day? And why does he keep dreaming of his mother’s brooch?

As the days pass, he finds he is increasingly beguiled by Elizabeth. She draws him in despite his concerns for her loyalty to him. He wonders if he can trust her love even as he finds himself learning to be in love with her again. Will the shadows in the past and the obstacles they have overcome defeat them? Or will he find happily ever after once again with his Elizabeth?

A Man of Good Fortune is a sequel to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and takes place several years after the marriage of Fitzwilliam Darcy to Elizabeth Bennet.

Such a great story and the mystery kept me listening. What a disappointment when the ending was so abrupt! Where is the epilogue at least??

Why the abrupt ending?

I love the narrator as well as the story! This was read so well! I loved the story, it really seemed as though it flowed naturally on from pride and prejudice, it didn’t feel like an imitation or anything it was great and it’s going straight into my favourites list!

Loved it!

I enjoyed the mystery and the love that was a constant throughout the book as the characters mainly of course, D&E whilst dealing with Darcys lack of memory. I actually loved the ending...but I am a softy and love forgiveness and HEA.

definitely a story with a difference.
