The Derbyshire Mystery Stone

By: Melanie Schertz, A Lady

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Life as a girl on the cusp of becoming a lady can be difficult when your guardian is your older brother. How can he understand anything about falling in love? Life as the much older brother and guardian of a sister who believes herself older than she is can make life difficult. So, during an argument between Georgiana and Fitzwilliam Darcy while they are in the gardens of Netherfield Park, a stone is discovered on the path. Not just any stone, but a stone that is only comes from Derbyshire. when the siblings take hold of it, something happens to them. They end up in each other's body. Will the brother and sister come to understand each other better from seeing the world through the eyes of the other? What happens when you add in George Wickham, who believes he has convinced Georgiana to elope with him, and Elizabeth Bennet come into the lives of the Darcys?

Unique

I enjoyed the "what if" Darcy and Georgiana switched bodies. It was a unique and interesting way for each of them to find out truths - such as the truth that Wickham is a scoundrel. Mr. and Mrs. Bennett are both horrible people, and of course Caroline and Rev Collins are total waste of humanity. Virtual Voice need more work. It may one day be an effective way to narrate books, but right now it has many flaws.

Great story eh narration

I really loved the twist in the story. I don’t love virtual voice but I can listen to it with my membership so that was a bonus.

Story was great!

Great twist on the P&P Universe.

I liked the story. Disliked the virtual voice tremendously. I loved the length. I was able to finish the story while doing chores around the house. I always love a happy ending for my favorite couple. I also like it when the protagonists get what they deserve.
