About this listen

What if Darcy and Elizabeth were plunged into the war between England and France?

It is 1803, and a treaty has allowed England and France to enjoy a brief moment of peace in the midst of the Napoleonic wars.

Darcy is despondent over Elizabeth’s refusal of his proposal at Hunsford, so Colonel Fitzwilliam proposes a trip to Paris as a distraction. At a ball, Darcy unexpectedly encounters Elizabeth, who is visiting Paris with the Gardiners. He sees this as his opportunity to court Elizabeth properly and rectify past mistakes.

Before he can make much progress, however, England declares war again, and Darcy must help Elizabeth flee France. As they make their way to the coast, Elizabeth and Darcy must battle brigands, French soldiers, illness, and their own mutual attraction - all without a chaperone.

When they return to England, Elizabeth and Darcy have their own secrets to conceal - even from those closest to them.

Kept me entertained. Got a bit frustrating after a while as it got a bit silly that Darcy and Elizabeth were still keeping the main secret when it was just making life more complicated. They should have come clean much earlier. Also quite a few instances of characters flouting propriety and doing things quite unacceptable for the time.

Pretty good variation

Any book narrated by Stevie Zimmerman is worth considering due to the quality of her performance. This book has an interesting plot line and I enjoyed it. I did find that the second half dragged a little but Zimmerman made it engaging and it held my attention throughout.

Excellent narration and an interesting plot

I think I expected more of a romp in France but alas illness & a bed ridden heroin bored me to tears in the first half. The second half is riddled with moments when you just want to scream " for goodness sake tell them". However, that was the premise of the story & at least it livened up a bit.

Quite a nice listen with a slow first half
