About this listen

Could anything be worse than to be trapped in a confined space with the woman you love?

Fitzwilliam Darcy knows his duty, and it does not involve succumbing to his fascination for a dark-eyed beauty from an unheard of family in Hertfordshire. He has run away from her once already. Yet fate has a wicked sense of humour and deals him a blow that not only throws him back into her path but quite literally puts him at Elizabeth Bennet’s mercy. Stranded with her at a remote inn and seriously hampered by injury, Darcy very quickly loses the battle to conquer his feelings, but can he win the war to make himself better understood without the ability to speak?

Thus begins an intense journey to love and understanding that is at times harrowing, sometimes hilarious and at all times heart-warming.

I enjoyed the form of communication that grew between ODC. It took Darcy awhile to understand his faults and overcome them but it was nice to have it told from his perspective.

Sweet and cosy.

I found the premise interesting as several years ago I experienced the loss of my own voice for a month or so, resulting also in difficulties eating. Perhaps that makes me more sensitive, but not only was it unrealistic, I found the character given to Elizabeth in this book often lacking in compassion considering the situation. What perhaps was meant to be signs of playfulness, or a sardonic humour, often came across as uncaring or insensitive. I didn't like her. I skipped forward a bit in the hope that it would improve but her improbable ability to lip read complex sentences one minute then not at all was jarring. And with a wound like his on the throat Darcy would not have been mouthing elaborate sentences - gestures and minimal words are far more likely. So this book was not well thought out in my opinion.

Disappointing
