A Pride and Prejudice variation. Forced to flee from her family's home to avoid being forced into a marriage to her father's cousin, Elizabeth Bennet takes the position as school mistress of Pemberley School. Fitzwilliam Darcy wished to fulfill his mother's desire to see the children of the tenants and servants of his family estate have some education, opens the school. As Darcy protects Elizabeth from her family, his nemesis, Wickham, has met the Bennet family and causes tragedy.

HIDE & SEEK

Virtual Voice was more annoying than usual. Story was fast paced, suspenseful. I enjoyed how the depiction of younger sisters was expanded.

Good story

Virtual Voice took away from this story. The story was good; but, need to be written a little better. The Virtual Voice did not reflect the emotions in the story and/or the emphasis were in the wrong place.

Elizabeth becomes a school teacher

Mr. and Mrs. Bennett are horrible. They try to force Elizabeth to marry Rev Collins, who is disgusting. With the help of her Aunt Gardner, Elizabeth runs away, and becomes a school teacher. All her sisters except Lydia continue to have a miserable life at Longbourne. Lydia, on the other hand is allowed to flirt with the officers and runs wild. There is a lot to get through.

Virtual voice still needs lots of work. Words are often mispronounced or the emphasis is on the wrong word. There is a glitch at the beginning of each chapter - there is a word something like "Tilda" before each chapter number and there is a repetition of the last sentence read, or the first sentence of the new chapter - very aggravating. Some parts of the book are very interesting and entertaining.
