Publisher's Summary

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.

Great p & p variation!

I enjoyed this variation very much. I would have preferred a different reader though. This reader’s voice had an odd sing-song quality that might have been better suited to telling children’s stories.

I was surprised by the narrator.


Initially, diving into "The Unfolding Story" proved challenging due to the author's introduction of numerous characters in the first chapters, which made it difficult to keep track of who was who.

Then, I skipped chapters 10 to 28 because it was dragging, and I didn't miss any significant points.

I didn’t realize Mary Sarah lent her voice to the tale until after borrowing the audiobook from the Plus catalogue. I have avoided her narrations because, despite her incredible character voices, her narration voice is annoying. There have been widespread critiques of her vocal delivery. Yet, with this audiobook, Sarah's performance was good.
