"It is the way of the world, Elizabeth. Men hold power over women, but I am not a man who wants to wield such power. I would prefer a woman who has some power over me".

Fitzwilliam Darcy already has one arranged marriage in his past. The last thing he envisions for himself is another, yet he has somehow become entrapped in a promise to a dying man. Not only must Darcy overcome his resentment in order to live up to his sense of honour, but when he realises how deeply his heart may be engaged, he must convince Elizabeth Bennet of his true feelings.

Elizabeth never expected the imperious Mr Darcy to become a good friend of an idle gentleman like her father. And she certainly never anticipated they would form a secret pact compelling her marriage to a man she dislikes. She must set aside grief and resentment, as well as her suspicions: Is Darcy using her to avoid another bride pushed onto him by his family, or to gain riches Elizabeth never knew she had?

Or is it possible he loves her?

For the first time, I got so annoyed with Lizzie's absolute trust placed on Wickham's words who is basically a stranger to her in this version (at least in the original, it was more understandable since they had more of a friendship and spent way more time together). There was an imbalance here in her reasons to dislike Darcy and believe Wickham, so a part of the plot felt forced. Overall, however, lovely to spend time with ODC. Enjoyable listen.

This variation was all right, not as thrilling as the original. the profomance was very good except for the unpleasant announcements of the chapter numbering.

lacks the tension of a real Jane Austen novel.
