"Journeys end in lovers’ meetings, every wise man’s son doth know." (William Shakespeare)

It is a truth universally acknowledged that the disastrous first meeting of Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet at the Meryton Assembly provided each with a ready-made set of prejudices to apply to the other. But when a horrific rural accident reveals Darcy to be a man of active, intelligent benevolence, and Elizabeth, in the absence of her appalling family, to be an extraordinary lady of courage and decision - then, surely, the course of true love will run smoothly.

But alas, the lovers' meeting is not the end, but a new beginning. For though they have found each other, a seeming multitude of complications - a catastrophic flood, the last wishes of a dying friend, Lydia’s misfortunes, a dastardly member of parliament, and even their own fears - contrives to come between them and their journey’s end.

Insight into familiar characters. Some humor. Early proposals and ongoing barriers to weddings. Rather abrupt ending

Very angst well written story with many ups and downs. I really enjoyed it until the abrupt ending. Everything is FINALLY resolved and they’re going to get married - the end. There’s no wedding no wedding breakfast and just a single sentence epilogue. David Pickering did a wonderful job narrating.

Ending very abrupt

I very much enjoyed this story - the characterization of the characters, especially of Darcy. I thought the writer’s repeated use of Darcy’s memories of his father’s words about remembering he was a Darcy was very good. More than other variations, this brought home to me how the man Darcy became could be so rigid and haughty. However, his utter weariness with this stance was carefully shown. I very much appreciated Darcy’s dying friend’s advice to him. The new characters, new twists, and story variations ALL helped to create a truly wonderful story. David Pickering’s narration was very well done. I look forward to this author’s next book.

Great Variation with Excellent Narration

Characters are true to the canonical versions of themselves, but the pacing drags and the obstacles in their path feel absurd after a point.
