About this listen
“The engagement between them is of a peculiar kind. From their infancy, they have been intended for each other. It was the favorite wish of his mother.…” (Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice)
Fitzwilliam Darcy was raised to never stray from the path set before him: Ensure the continued prosperity of his estate, Pemberley, protect and educate his sister to become an accomplished woman, and marry the woman his mother chose for him — his cousin Anne de Bourgh. With a letter bearing his late mother’s signature, Darcy presumes his fate is sealed and prepares to wed one he does not love. However, his destiny begins to unravel when he glimpses a pair of fine eyes on a quiet, country road.
Elizabeth Bennet is the second daughter of a respectable, though insignificant gentleman. She is flattered to have captured the attention of a local squire, a childhood friend, and everyone believes her path is secure — until a handsome, rich gentleman arrives at a neighboring estate. Happenstance begets the unlikely pair together, bridging a forbidden love long past a mere friendship.
In A Lie Universally Hidden, two of literature’s most beloved romance characters are destined to marry for fortune and obligation rather than love. How will Darcy and Elizabeth fulfill their true destiny under such circumstances? Shall honor, decorum, prudence — nay, a signed letter from the grave — forbid it?
A Lie Universally Hidden is a Regency Romance suitable for most audiences, teen and up.

The narrator was new to me and although her voice had a pleasant tone, the story was a little hard to follow through places where characters talked a lot because her character voices were all very similar and inconsistent. For example, at the very beginning lady Catherine sounded nice and then towards the end she sounded more snivelling. These inconsistencies also happened with Mrs Bennet, Anne, Georgiana and even Elizabeth. Also all the men had the same tone and so was very hard to know who was speaking when all were in conversation together. I highly suggest she work on different voices and get comfortable with them so it’s easier to distinguish between the characters in talking scenes. The other slightly annoying thing she did was the was she always pronounce her G’s. They were very hard and prominent and it sounded very unpleasant.
Really not sure about the narrator
