Summary
Avoiding the truth does not change the truth.
When Fitzwilliam Darcy meets Miss Elizabeth Bennet, his heart is almost immediately engaged. Seeing the pretty lady before him, a lady of no consequence or fortune, he believes he should not form an attachment to her, unsuitable as such a woman is to be his wife.
What he cannot see, however, is the truth. That the simple country girl harbors a secret. Before she meets Darcy, Elizabeth has spent two years hiding from the men who killed her beloved first husband. Feeling herself destroyed by love, Elizabeth is certain she will never love again, certainly not the arrogant man who has offended her from the first moment of their acquaintance.
In time, Elizabeth surprises herself by finding in Darcy a friend. Even greater is her surprise to find herself gradually coming to love him and even accepting an offer of marriage from him. As the newly married couple is beginning to settle into their happily ever after, a condemned man on his way to the gallows divulges a shattering truth - a secret that contradicts everything Elizabeth thought she knew about the tragic circumstances of her first marriage.
Against the advice of everyone who loves her - including Darcy - Elizabeth begins to seek the truth, knowing she must have it even if it may destroy her newfound happiness with Darcy.

Great story
This was a really interesting P&P variation. The author has written many good versions on the original & this did not disappoint. The narrator did a pretty good job too.

very different
enjoyed the plot and writing style of life author.
narration was fine, mens voices were a wee bit creepy at times in their tone but didn't spoil my enjoyment. I'll listen to it again quite happily.

Another Good Amy D’Orazio Vagary
I love Ms D’Orazio’s storylines, they are always exciting and interesting but this was spoiled for me by the narrator’s mispronunciations and similar voices for all the characters. I would love to hear it narrated by Stevie Zimmerman.

Hit and miss
Excellent plot but there are gaps and incomprehensible errors in the telling. The characters are generally well drawn but occasionally indulge in bizarre behaviour.
The narrator struggles with pronunciation - apothecary pronounced as apocathery is just one example. Some voices too are weird.

Excellent story, narration a bit lacking.
The voices didn’t sound quite right to me, the mens in particular, and some word pronunciation choices were strange. There were also a number of mistakes - Mrs Hurt instead if Hurst eg - that do not appear in the hard copy, which I also own, and so must be the fault of the narrator. The story itself is great, though I found I much preferred reading it myself to this particular narrator.
