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.

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.

Just excellent

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.

Wonderful 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!









Great story

Interesting having a Gothic P&P Variation, but I don’t think I’ll look for another. Too much death, too much abuse, etc…. The twist regarding Charlotte Lucas Collins was amusing. I thought the Narrator did Very Well.

Dark Gothic Tale - Very Good Narration

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

Nice story, but ended too soon.

I read the book awhile ago and decided to give the audiobook a try. It is awesome. Mr Smith really brings the book to life and I love how he handled Saye, so funny. There were a couple of repeated sentences but it wasn’t too annoying. An epilogue would have been nice but everything was wrapped up so it wasn’t a necessity. Very enjoyable.

Gothic off canon 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.

loved the story

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.

Really interesting. I love JAFF and I highly recommend this book to a Jane Austen fan fiction lover.

Lovely mystery

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!

Very Original
