Story
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.

Story
Taken from her home as a young child, Elizabeth Bennet’s sense of self is shaken when the mystery behind her true identity is unraveled. Discovering her place as the daughter of a duke, she confronts reclaimed memories of her brutal abduction, while making her way in the alien world of Regency England’s high society. Facing the ton is the least of her concerns, as her kidnappers remain determined to keep her from Fitzwilliam Darcy - the man who first professed his love by proposing she become his mistress.
Publisher's Summary
A secret alliance grows from an unwelcome olive branch...
When rumors of Jane Bennet’s impending betrothal to Mr. Collins begin spreading at the Meryton Assembly, Elizabeth Bennet vows to save her dearest sister’s happiness from being sacrificed in marriage. She finds an unlikely ally in Mr Darcy, the taciturn man whose heroics on the cricket field have made him the target for Lydia’s affections.
Overhearing a heated exchange between Elizabeth and Mr. Bennet, Darcy is stunned, not only by her devotion to her sister, but also by her defiant words to her father. An inexplicable desire to help Elizabeth draws Darcy into the match-breaking scheme, despite knowing that he should want nothing to do with a family like the Bennets.
As the new allies work together, they begin to understand and admire each other. But they must navigate a complicated web of sisters, parents, friends, cousins, aunts, and new acquaintances, all of whom seem contrary to being manipulated. A few of them may even be attempting their own manipulations and romantic schemes. Eavesdropping and jealousy abound, cricket balls go astray, and love blooms in spite of Mrs. Bennet’s mismatched matchmaking.
This humorous Pride and Prejudice reimagining is novel-length and pays homage to the wit of Jane Austen.

One Of the Best Variations
Absolutely brilliant story made even more perfect with Sarah Jane Rose’s narration. If you love listening to Pride and Prejudice variations as well as reading about Lizzy and Darcy et al, then you will have picked a gem in A Case of Some Delicacy. You will be particularly enamoured of Lydia, I am sure. 5 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

A Case of Some Delicacy is an engaging story. With the entire book taking place in Hertfordshire, the is ample space to explore the characters of Elizabeth’s family, and I especially liked what was done with the three younger Bennet daughters. The narrator was very good.

Among My Favorite P&P Variations - It's SO Good
I absolutely LOVE A Case of Some Delicacy. After having read and/or listened to well over 35 variations in the past half year, this one is handily in the top three. There is angst, but there is no torturous belaboring of misunderstanding or horrifying despondence going on in this book. There is plenty of tension and plenty of genuine romance between Elizabeth and Darcy. I have never seen a variation that contrived such a wonderful way for the two of them to become truly acquainted and gain real knowledge of each other as they fall in love. It's just...a pleasure. I've listened to it twice (which is not something I've done with any other variation, yet). The best parts of this story are the secondary characters. The Bennett sisters each have a fleshed-out and realistic personality. The sibling relationships are explored and actually dwelt on with care and affection. No one behaves like a caricature. They act like regular, normal young ladies with human quirks and failings. Darcy is lovely, reserved, and introspective without being a hopeless depressive or a neurotic stalker. Elizabeth is lively, challenging, and recognizable as the woman we know her to be from Austen. The introduction to several new members of the Lucas family is charming and smoothly done. Charlotte's younger brothers and her eldest become integral to the story, and they are marvelous. The angst, when it comes, is short-lived, and we don't spend hundreds of pages or hours and hours mired in deathly depression or horrifying emotional pain. Everything comes to its resolution naturally, and the writing throughout is just wonderful. Get it. It's so good. It's so very well done. If you're going back and forth between this one and another...pick this one.

Amazing Story
I absolutely loved it. I wish the Charles Bingley in his story had been in the original Pride & Prejudice story. He would/should have fought for his love for Jane. It would have been amazing. The small issue I have is the character voices. They ate all almost in whispers and kinda makes it sound like all the characters have like colds or something. And there were some unrequired pauses here and there but other then this tiny issues, I absolutely loved the story.

This story was not like every other P&P variation. I will definitely read it again and consider it one of my favorites. It can be enjoyed by all ages and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves P&P. I liked that the whole story took place in Meryton and I loved that Mr. Darcy began interacting with Elizabeth from the start...
