About this listen
Elizabeth Bennet made her sister a promise on her deathbed: to love and care for her son, young Charles Bingley, like her very own child. And so she did, for four years, until the boy's guardian, Fitzwilliam Darcy showed up in Meryton, insisting on removing the boy from his aunt, his life, and everything he knew, to be raised at Pemberley.
Elizabeth, determined to honor Jane, insists on going with them, soon finding herself installed at Pemberley as an unwanted guest of Mr. Darcy and his aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh. It's the year without a summer and Pemberley is austere and ghostly, with shadows and secrets lurking in every corner. With too much time to herself, Elizabeth soon finds herself wondering about Mr Darcy’s past, and the identity of a young lady who she reads about in the lady’s journal. She soon thinks she has a faithful sketch of Mr Darcy’s character until one key truth emerges which shatters all her prepossessions. Bit by bit the mysteries of Pemberley unravel — but what will she find at the end of it?
This Pride and Prejudice variation is written in the style of gothic novels of the regency era, such as Northanger Abbey. The beloved characters of Jane Austen in scenarios of the author's imagining.

“Mr Darcy, I am eager to hear your explanation for the fact that quite a few people believe we are engaged.” It starts with a bit of well-meant advice. Colonel Fitzwilliam suggests to his cousin Darcy that, before he proposes to Elizabeth Bennet in Kent, perhaps he ought to discuss his plans with their families first. What neither man could have predicted however was that Lord Matlock would write the news to his sister, or that Viscount Saye would overhear and tell his friends, or that his friends might slip a little and let their friends know as well.

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.

This slightly unhinged romantic comedy follows Fitzwilliam Darcy as he sets off to find himself a wife and instead finds himself pulled into the mire of his aunt’s machinations and his own fascination with Elizabeth Bennet, whom he believes betrothed to another. As Meryton judges him the grieving groom of Anne de Bourgh and a caddish dallier with the hearts of others, Darcy must ferret out the truth behind his cousin’s disappearance, protect his sister from the fretful fate of all Fitzwilliam females, and most importantly, win Elizabeth’s heart.

Despite the tragedy that took her parents and all but one of her sisters from her, Elizabeth eventually heals, and she takes up the affairs of the estate with a flair her father never possessed.

As humiliating as an ill-bred set down was from an impertinent country miss, the veracity of Elizabeth Bennet’s arguments and the humiliation at his own lack of understanding started to sink in. After years of entrenched isolation, others would take notice if he appeared more civil. How was he to take his place in society without raising expectations? He reaches out to the one person he can trust, Colonel Fitzwilliam, who joins the party at Netherfield.

Great story
I loved the story and length of the book. Unfortunately I did not care for all the narration of the characters, especially Elizabeth’s. She had a deep throaty voice which to me sounded like a man. I did stop listening for a while b/c of it but after a few days started listening again ,but still did not like her voice at all!

Nice story, but ended too soon.
It would have been nice to have a little more story in the end. Maybe an epilogue. But, still a 5.

Just excellent
Great variation of P&P with a mystery surrounding the Darcys which prevented Darcy from joining Bingley at Netherfield. In addition, many deaths prior to the story due to a flu outbreak.

Wonderful story
This variation was outstanding — very different than most. It had some surprising twists and kept me interested from the very first chapter.
The narrator was outstanding. I highly recommend this book, especially if you like a bit of mystery and intrigue.

loved the story
Loved the gothic feel of the book, it only wanted for a bit better editing of the narration. There were maybe 10 or so repeated words that kept attempting to break the spell of the story.

Dark
It has taken me a couple of years to revisit this story on audio after reading the book. It impressed me with darkness and despair when I read it, which is exactly what a gothic story should do. The tale is so well crafted and voiced that I was drawn into it right away. Why did it take Darcy over four years to claim Little Charles, and wouldn’t Mr Bennet have seen the Bingley Will and known who was named Guardian? How could he have kept that knowledge from Elizabeth? Why is Pemberley all but closed up, and why is Lady Catherine living there? What happened to Darcy’s assumed wife, Anne De Bourgh? Is there a ghost who visits Little Charles at night? Why is a lunatic wandering the grounds, and why is Elizabeth told to avoid him? Is Darcy a murderer? So many secrets to uncover. There are a few very minor repeated words, but Brady Smith gives a great performance of all the different character voices and imbues a gothic ghost-story vibe to the book.

Very Original
This book is very original within the genre and brilliant writing as usual by AD'O, it's a very enjoyable story. The narration - while good, was not my favorite. Many of the male voices are too heavy and gruff. ESPECIALLY Viscount Saye, he is an all time favorite from other novels and the way this narrator portrayed him - it's like he's not even here. He is flamboyantly foppish to disguise his brilliant wit and humor - in this book he sounds like a gruff old toad!! I'm so sadly disappointed, it kind of ruined the book for me. Col FW is a bit too gruff also, the young Charles Bingley was well done.
Other than that, like I said, the story is original and entertaining. I hated Mr. Bennet and Charlotte, EB made a huge number of great assumptions throughout the book, Darcy and Georgianna were particularly stubborn. I think I would have enjoyed the book as a whole a bit more with a different reader.
There are also a HUGE number of editing errors in the audio. Perhaps have the reader re-record just the viscount Saye parts to show his character like we've come to expect him and it would make a big difference. Honestly, I could listen to an entire book about him!

Pride, Prejudice and Presumptions ....
.... might have been an appropriate subtitle. ODC both display all of those, but Elizabeth especially presumes quite a bit in this well-written, variation. It begins following a time of death of many, as illness swept Netherfield, Longbourn and Meryton, along with a stark landscape of ruined crops following drought and flooding. Dark setting indeed.
Elizabeth has given her word to Jane, upon her deathbed, to care for her infant son. Bingley, on the otherhand, has assigned Darcy to be little Charles’ guardian in his will, a document that Elizabeth cannot afford to take to the courts, let alone win. She begs Darcy to let her go to Pemberley as the now four-year old Charles’ governess.
Pemberley and Darcy have secrets and Elizabeth is determined to uncover them. Some discoveries, along with new acquaintances, lead her to make incorrect presumptions.
Despite being a somewhat darker story, which includes the description of some abuse, the entrance of the Fitzwilliam family, especially Lord Saye (a favorite character in other books by Amy D’Orazio), brings some welcome humour and nudging where necessary. Wink, wink. Gosh, I love him.
Another great read by this author. Always entertaining, a master at riveting dialogue, and always a page-turning plot, Amy D’Orazio never disappoints, which is why she is one of my favorite Jane Austen fan fiction authors. There are some proofreading errors.
Very good narration by Brady Smith. There are some glitches with some repeated phrasing during stops and starts in the audio.

This story has excellent twists and, though it has many gothic elements, is very funny at times. Saye is especially amusing!
