A Timely Elopement

A Pride and Prejudice Variation

What if Mr Darcy’s first proposal was interrupted by a bearer of ill tidings? The worst tidings: An elopement!

Ah, but whose elopement would allow Elizabeth and Mr Darcy to spend quite so much time together and overcome their prejudices and his stubborn pride?

Outstanding!

I loved this novel when I read it in the spring, and I enjoyed it very much in audiobook. Stevie Zimmerman is a talented voice actress that pairs well with the rhythm of Joana Starnes’s brilliant prose. Not to be missed if you are looking for your next Darcy and Elizabeth fix!

Wonderful read and story

Loved this book. Interesting and different story. Wonderfully written as usual. The narration was spot on as well. A pleasure to listen to.

Entertaining variation

An interesting “Pride and Prejudice” variation narrated by the wonderful Stevie Zimmerman! The plot was not as intricate and well-developed as some variations I’ve read but it was still very entertaining and I enjoyed the book!

Perfectly “Slow burn”

Wonderful! Such great, natural progression of Elizabeth’s love. I felt it was totally believable, and charming. Brilliant!

What a great twist on the original!

Oh, what fun this one was! Perfect capture of Austen's own voice, and I just bet she would find humour in it herself!
