About this listen

When Colonel Fitzwilliam's disclosures are interrupted by the bearer of distressing news from Longbourn, Miss Elizabeth Bennet is compelled to accept an offer she would have otherwise dismissed out of hand. An offer of marriage from the all-too-proud Mr. Darcy. Yet how is she to live with a husband she hardly knows and does not love? Will she continue to feel trapped in a marriage of convenience while events conspire to divide them? Or would love grow as, day by day and hour after hour, she learns to understand the man she married, before she loses his trust and his heart?

(Given the "early marriage" premise, the issue of growing affection and intimacy is central to the story. The relevant scenes are not graphic, but the novel does address mature themes.)

One of the best P&P variations; nearly Wickham-free, and certainly Bingley’s final words to Darcy are audacious. Lizzie’s youth is well realised. Narration is flawless.

Darcy’s ardent arrogance

I usually love Joanna Starnes, and Stevie Zimmerman is always fabulous. However in this story Darcy is creepy and abusive and Elizabeth a dismal doormat. I couldn’t finish it

So disappointed
