About this audiobook

Rejected by a sister who has allowed her new status as wife to Mr. Bingley to make her proud, Elizabeth Bennet goes to her uncle's estate in Derbyshire, ostensibly to assist her cousin in her introduction to society. In reality, Elizabeth feels there is nothing left for her in the neighborhood of her birth.

Her uncle's estate is small, and Elizabeth must work while there, and though she finds her tasks easy to bear. She quickly becomes close to her young cousin and uncle, though her aunt is a hard, demanding woman, who seems to hold a grudge against Elizabeth. But she also meets many friends, including the daughter of an earl, and the handsome friend of her sister Jane's new husband, a Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy.

As Elizabeth is slowly pulled from her melancholy, new vistas open up to her, and she realizes that she can still have everything she has ever wished to have. But the jealousy of a woman who is no friend of her courtship with a wealthy man threatens her newfound happiness, and the coming of a sister who rejected her has the potential to once again disrupt Elizabeth's life and destroy her future.

    This recording cuts off a sentence or two at the end of every chapter, at least on Scribd. The story is indulgent, the reader has an odd accent, and mispronounces a few words, but is OK.

    I found this to be a delightful variation on the original version of Pride and Prejudice. Although I loved the original, this version was much more entertaining and offered a more enjoyable experience.

    After the marriage of Mary (to Collins - very disappointing) and Jane to Bingley (and later her indifference to Elizabeth), Elizabeth travels to Derbyshire to visit with her Uncle Drummond and his family. So that she can help with his oldest daughter's coming out. There she meets the Darcys and the Colonel.
    An enjoyable story (apart from Mary's marriage) and certainly enlivened by Caroline Bingley.
