Acerca de esta escucha
At the age of 13 Elizabeth Bennet met her reclusive neighbours and from that moment her life was changed forever. She learned the realities of life in Regency England for a young woman. What she learned disappointed and annoyed her, resulting in a young woman who held herself, and those around her, to a high standard.
Rather than keep her constrained like so many young women, her neighbours encouraged her to be whatever she wanted. And if she wanted to learn estate management and investing, then so be it. Society might not think these were appropriate pursuits for a young lady but what society did not know they could not complain about.
Elizabeth's intelligence and sense of responsibility is channelled into learning how to manage an estate, and to invest the surplus generated from that estate. All the while she is learning tasks presently reserved for men, she is concurrently attempting to navigate the expectations of being a young woman in that same male-dominated society.
Into all this rides our erstwhile hero, making friends and influencing people as only he can! From their first memorable meeting the battle lines are set. But his pride is repeatedly dented and her prejudice is similarly challenged to the point where they can recognise the qualities of the other.
In this tale everyone gets what they deserve, both the good and the bad. Good behaviour is rewarded and bad behaviour has consequences, often severe.
Warning: this book refers to sexual assault. There are absolutely no descriptions of any act but several of the characters are the victims of this crime and it is referred to as part of the story. This variation deals with the reality of life for women in Regency England.

Very Good P&P Variation - VV is Better than Usual
This was an interesting Pride and Prejudice variation (or maybe that should be Vagary). Two Main New influences in Elizabeth’s young life form her into a formidable woman who can flatten the Arrogant Ass from Pemberley. There are the usual characters, including Caroline Bingley and her brother, Wickham, Lady Catherine, etc - but the author deals with all of them. There are a lot of details to the story so this may not be for those who like the typical variations. I enjoyed the long journey for the most part. Some repetition and the VV does have mispronunciations, but on the whole it is pretty decent.
