A Pride and Prejudice Variation

By: Florence Gold

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Just a few days after her rejection of Mr Darcy’s disastrous proposal in Kent, Elizabeth’s journey to London becomes a torment when she realises that she does not in fact despise the gentleman. Despite her efforts to disregard her feelings, the unbearable pain in her heart confirms that she is deeply in love. Desperately, profoundly in love with the man she recently rejected, the man responsible for her sister’s sorrow, the man who holds disdain for her family, yet the one who professed his love and proposed to her.

Upon finally arriving at the Gardiners’ home, Elizabeth finds the house in uproar as preparations are made to welcome Mrs Gardiner’s sister and her son.

Unable to engage in the commotion around her, torn between her love for Darcy and her duty to her family, Elizabeth longs to forget him and not regret her decision, convinced that they will never cross paths again.
However, destiny plays an extraordinary trick on her when the door opens to welcome Mrs Wright and her son, and Elizabeth discovers Darcy standing on the doorstep.

An unexpected adventure unfolds as they embark on a quest for answers to a mystery that has endured for twenty-five years. Who is Mrs Gardiner’s sister, and what is her connection to the Darcys?
‘The Illegitimate Son’ is a tale of love, hate, suffering, dramatic twists, and incredible character development that will cause both tears and laughter, revealing the secrets of the Matlock family like never before.
Step by step, Elizabeth and Darcy build their love in the midst of a story that unexpectedly brings together the Bennets, the Gardiners, and the Fitzwilliams.
