Gripping plot

First, because of the plot and gripping emotional journey, I want to say this is worth a listen. I couldn’t give the performance more than 2 stars because it’s an AI voice. That said, I’m glad I listened, because the storyline is definitely worth the time.

I found Elizabeth’s character as strong and resourceful, in order to save Jane and herself from a life with Collins. The storyline says they actually “lie” about being orphaned. However, as Mr Bennett disowned them, I would say being orphaned is as good a description as any.

Elizabeths character is one of self preservation for herself and Jane. Therefore, some things she does seems “out of character”. However, it actually seems realistic.

I don’t want to say too much. But the story is worth a listen.

Elizabeth is a fibber

Elizabeth and Jane escape the awful Bennett’s and claim to be orphans. In their new identities they meet Darcy and Bingley. But they are exposed as liars. Poor Elizabeth is exiled by Darcy. It is an interesting story.

Great Story!

Very good story line. Hard to put down. Look forward to more by this authorDefinitely would recommend to others to read.

Feel good

Really enjoyed the alternate story
Virtual voice not too bad. Some gaffes. Bow like bow tie not bow like a an acknowledgment. Mama like a doll would say it not mama like an upper class regency woman. Mr Berg instead of Miss de Berg. Conversation between 2 people with sentences running together from one person to the other.

Horrid mr and Mrs Bennet :)

This book was well written and it told a story of a pair of bad parents. When Jane is forced to marry mr Collins she and Elizabeth leaves for London. Great Jaff.

Morally unsound

SPOILER warning.
This Elizabeth is a rather compulsive liar and Mr Darcy is a wimp. She withholds from him very important information about herself and is found out, after they marry, in the most embarrassing manner bringing great humiliation upon Darcy’s head. She is punished, but somehow everyone, including herself, considers that Darcy is at fault while Elizabeth is not to be blamed. In spite of this, the story is not too bad, quite readable actually although it lacks romance.

Great story

The story line kept me interested the entire book. Not too stressful, just enough angst to keep me interested
