This title uses virtual voice narration

Virtual voice is computer-generated narration for audiobooks.
An unbelievable thing has just happened at Meryton’s Assembly Ball. A feather worked its way loose from Miss Bingley’s turban, swooping unerringly for Mr. Darcy’s unprotected eye! Instinctively, the gentleman in question raised his hand and stepped backward to avoid the object, tripping Miss Elizabeth Bennet and then falling upon her prone form. Scandalous! A marriage must occur, of course. But he does not want to marry an unknown country miss and she most certainly does not want to marry the proud, dour Mr. Darcy. Can they find their way to one another despite this inauspicious beginning?

This is a full-length novel of over 90,000 words. Historical Historical Fiction Regency

This was a different start to P&P. Elizabeth and mr Darcy had not even talked when they are compromised. Interesting. Good jaff

This was honestly the best adaptation I've read so far, out of about 10 or so that I've consumed. The characters behave much more true to the original than any other that I've read. The love develops slowly, in the way I would expect both of the characters and of the way they're forced into marriage. The writing is also very well done, and while some may not love the overt "lessons" on marriage, as a twice married woman, I can appreciate the wisdom & truth in them. The performance is surprisingly not bad. The computer voice struggles with a couple things (saying "dash" when a dash was included in the text) but for the most part it's fine. Very slow but I listened on 1.2 speed which was perfect. Overall definitely recommend this version if you like a slow burn romance & true to character adaptation.

Best P&P variation

I thoroughly enjoyed this book!! It is as it says, a Pride and Prejudice variation. Basically, they took known characters and ran with a different storyline. Admittedly, it took me a little while to get into it but now I’m disappointed it’s over. Highly recommend.

True to P&P characters

Overall, I enjoyed the story, but it seemed a bit longer than necessary. I increased the speed, but that made the narration sound more artificial. I enjoyed the insight into Darcy and Elizabeth's thought prproces. Some of the transformations of other characters were less than believable based on the original version of those characters.
As for the narrator, it was tolerable. There are some mispronounced words, and it reareads a --, as a word, "dash." The narration also has a minimal amount of emotional expression. So that was annoying. Overall, a human, professional, reader is much preferred. I've come to really enjoy Stevie Zimmerman as narrator of the P&P variation. I consider her the gold standard for these variations.

AI reader could use a few tweaks, but the story was delightful! Will listen to this one again!

Excellent

An excellent vagary, I have had the opportunity to both read the ebook and listen to the audiobook. I actually don’t mind the virtual voice, at least the female one with the English accent. I will definitely add this story to my listen-to-this-again list.

The Fateful Feather

The feather to the eye causes Darcy to fall on Elizabeth in the middle of a crowded Assembly and he must marry her to preserve their honor. It is pretty tough going at first for the two, but they discover many things about one another and about life. Well written, but deserves a talented narrator instead of AI narration.

The reason for ODC meeting was so different and the road to their HEA was so cleverly written.

It is a nice story, well told and engaging, I selected without looking at the description since I didn't have time to browse, and was a very good surprise.
Totally recommend

Enjoyable Story

It’s a shame this story was done by Virtual Voice. A good Narrator would have made it 4.5 stars. I liked this variation very much, interesting setup, good characterization, good follow through. This version of VV wasn’t as bad as some I’ve heard, but many of the usual errors in pronunciation, and the like.
