Summary
“My better nature was not merely placed there by the rank of my birth, Mr. Darcy! If I have faults to be attributed to Longbourn, then what virtues I possess must also be credited there. My character is not solely a copy of my blood. I am the result of the upbringing by a family and people – good people – that you have disdained. Do not think that all of Meryton did not perceive your contempt for us.”
For twenty years Elizabeth Bennet had lived, quite contentedly, as the second daughter of a country squire. During her Easter visit to her newly married friend, Lizzy has the dubious pleasure of being introduced to Lady Catherine de Bourgh and her cosseted daughter. To Elizabeth’s surprise, the pair take a keen interest in a mere adopted daughter of the Bennet family, and when Mr. Darcy dutifully pays his annual visit to Rosings Park, her life takes a wholly unexpected turn.
Lady Catherine de Bourgh, it would seem, is intent upon setting right old injustices, and she is a woman who is very much used to getting her own way.
From the author of Dear Nameless Stranger, Far From the Tree follows Elizabeth’s journey as she slowly realises that affection can root itself deeply into the heart in spite of doubts and misgivings. The handsome Mr. Darcy is a different matter altogether, for how could she possibly fall in love with the proud and haughty man she had known in Hertfordshire?

Gentle, unusual
This Pride and Prejudice variation differs considerable from the norm. The writing is smooth and the narration excellent. If I have a criticism, it is the incorrect use of 'sat' instead of (for example) 'was seated'.

A truly interesting variation.
I really enjoyed this book. what an unusual story with our beloved characters. I didn't want to put it down. Definitely an Happy Ever Ending story as two family emerges as one. Truly delightful tinged with sorrow but ends in joy.
Narration was great and story told in a captivating way.
Having read 100's of P&P variation this is quiet different but in a good way. No spoilers but sit back and enjoy for I did.
Highly recommend.

Great story and narration
Another great story from Ms Peneaux and a perfect narration too, well suited for the story. It’s always a pleasure to read and listen to this author’s books.
