Brushstrokes

A Darcy and Lizzy Tale

It is not at a grand assembly nor in the company of a crowded ballroom that Mr Darcy first lays eyes on Miss Elizabeth Bennet, but in a far quieter, more unexpected setting—at his London residence, although she doesn’t visit him. Her mistakenly delivered portrait sets in motion a love story neither of them could have anticipated.

For a gentleman so bound by decorum, falling in love, at first sight, is hardly the ideal predicament. Yet, love does not wait for the perfect moment, nor does it concern itself with propriety. As he finds himself drawn to Elizabeth’s beauty, wit and warmth, Darcy must learn that kindness, patience, and the certainty that things can change for the better are the true brushstrokes of lasting happiness.

Steeped in the charm of Regency romance and rich with historical detail, Brushstrokes is a heartwarming and low-angst Pride and Prejudice variation—a tale of quiet devotion, missed chances, and a love that finds its way to a happy and deeply cherished marriage. It is a novel sure to delight all Janeites—though, truly, you must read it to believe it.

the virtual voice did a much better job than I expected

this book was prefect and boring. no angst. very tidy. darcy and Elizabeth met and was engaged in 1 week. that should tell you all you need to know.

Florid writing odd voicing

The initial chapters were overwrought in their use of simile-- of crashing waves twice in one paragraph, creeping sunshine and all manner of awkward phrasing.
the reading was oddly paced, and to me was only borne by ramping it to 1.5 speed. Once the almost unrelated painting bit was completed the balance of the story was...tolerable, but not sufficient to tempt a second listening.

Poor storyline

Minimal time spent telling a love story between Darcy & Elizabeth. A lot of random ramblings
