About this listen

Is not the very meaning of love that it surpasses every objection against it?

Jilted. Never did Mr. Darcy imagine it could happen to him.

But it has, and by Elizabeth Bennet, the woman who first hated and rejected him but then came to love him - he believed - and agree to be his wife. Alas, it is a short-lived, ill-fated romance that ends nearly as soon as it has begun. No reason is given.

More than a year since he last saw her - a year of anger, confusion, and despair - he receives an invitation from the Bingleys to a house party at Netherfield. Darcy is first tempted to refuse, but with the understanding that Elizabeth will not attend, he decides to accept.

When a letter arrives, confirming Elizabeth’s intention to join them, Darcy resolves to meet her with indifference. He is determined that he will not demand answers to the questions that plague him. Elizabeth is also resolved to remain silent and hold fast to the secret behind her refusal. Once they are together, however, it proves difficult to deny the intense passion that still exists. Fury, grief, and profound love prove to be a combustible mixture. But will the secrets between them be their undoing?

Very good story. Clever spin on Pride and Prejudice. The narrator was excellent as well.
The only criticism I have is that it is way too long. I m convinced that about 6 hours of the story could be removed and you would not lose any of the story. I did get a bit impatient with it.
Saying that, the story is excellent and if you have more patience then me, then you will absolutely love it!

Good story

a bit different to two run of the mill ones I've read and listened too. I like the narrators voice and his characters voices tonight, make for enjoyable listening.

a lovely variation

The constraints of Regency mores are shown to perfection in this fairly tortuous journey to a happy ending. Excellent narration.

Engrossing

These Amy D’Orazio JAFF novels are the best. This one is very angsty but lots of great intrigue and a proper romantic Darcy.

Brilliant- have already listened twice!
