About this listen

He trusted you with his deepest secrets… I believe he still loves you.

Elizabeth Bennet returns home from Kent with a burdened heart following Mr Darcy’s offer of marriage. She finds it hard to put aside the revelations of the gentleman’s letter—a letter that challenges everything she believed about pride, honour, and love. Reeling from the truths it contains, Elizabeth finds solace not in the bustling Bennet household at Longbourn, but in the quiet counsel of her godfather, Mr Goulding—a wise, kind-hearted neighbour whose own past is marked by tragedy and quiet heroism.

As Elizabeth comes to understand the failings of her own judgment, she also begins to see her family through new eyes—and with it, the social dangers they court daily. But Mr Goulding sees something more in Elizabeth: a strength of character and a moral clarity that make her the perfect steward for a surprising legacy.

With her future irrevocably altered by his final bequest, Elizabeth must navigate newfound purpose, lingering regret, and the bittersweet ache of a love that may be lost forever.

I enjoyed all the bad characters getting their comeuppance! The relationship between Elisabeth and Darcy was nicely done too

Enjoyable and great narration

If only ever audio book was like this.
Where to start, what an incredible piece of writing, Nan Harrison a work of genius, and the narrator Alice Sockett OMG, her performance , ever voice, ever word and every chapter she delivered, emotion, passion, drama & made this one of the best experience .
( I think she could read my Air fryer instructions and make it a best seller.)
The one thing I can say is I was immersed at all times, ear phones on waiting for a wrong word to break my focus. ( it never came).
with so many characters to voice everyone was spot on,
This is how it should be done.

Of course I have to be fair and point out he cons

Well the only con for me was it ended.

Much to talk of ( how amazing this was)

Having read many adaptations of Elizabeth and Darcys love story, I had never imagined the story being told in this way.
I very much liked the Narrator start to finish.
The tempo of story telling for me was excellent. You are taken on a comfortable relaxing journey with characters you know and love. The re imagined Pride & Prejudice in this book surprised me throughout. Having read about 40 adaptations, this one stood out for me. 👏👏👏👏

unexpected treasure of a book
