About this listen
Mr. Darcy is at his wits' end. Elizabeth Bennet, the woman he can't live without, overhears him insulting her family. Now she won't even listen to his apologies. Then his old friend Sir Anthony Duxbury tells him two of their friends are in terrible danger. If Darcy wants to help them, they have to leave for Yorkshire immediately.
But something doesn't add up. Elizabeth claims to know Sir Anthony, too - but by a different name. What game is his old friend playing? And is it dangerous?
Even Sir Anthony says the trip is dangerous. The Luddite rebels are on the verge of armed revolt - and he should know, because he's one of them. Darcy's cousin Lady Frederica decides she's going with them anyway, and insists on bringing Elizabeth. Could this be Darcy's chance to earn Elizabeth's forgiveness and her love?
Elizabeth would rather face a squad of Napoleon's soldiers than spend three days trapped in a carriage with Darcy and his headstrong cousin, but she has her own reason for agreeing to come. If she can just manage to keep her temper, she may be able to rescue her uncle from financial ruin.
But when a Luddite riot erupts around them, it's Darcy and Elizabeth who need rescuing - from each other.
Mr. Darcy's Journey is a variation on Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice by nationally best-selling author Abigail Reynolds.

Fascinating story
This audiobook/story is more than a Lizzy/Darcy love story, it is a history lesson, wrapped up in a brilliant story that prevents it from becoming a dry historical tome.
Abigail Reynolds has taken a bit of poetic licence to fit the events that happened in the north of England in 1812 into a very entertaining story.
The characters, both those established by JA in P&P and those newly minted by Ms Reynolds, are so wonderfully portrayed, they just jump off the page, and are bought to superb life by the amazing talent of Elizabeth Klett. This native of New Jersey seems more British than many a native Briton; her accents—cultured female as well as male, to the more provincial accents of the poor and uneducated masses from the north of England—are absolutely spot on. Her talent is prodigious, and any of Abigail Reynolds’ works narrated by Ms Klett are amongst my favourite audiobooks. I wish all of Ms Reynolds’ works that are recorded into audiobook format were narrated by Ms Klett.
Me Darcy’s Journey is satisfyingly long, has plenty of excitement and enough Lizzy/Darcy interaction to satisfy. My favourite character is Lady Matlock, a truly magnificent character. In fact, her ladyship could well be an aristocratic, older and more worldly version of Miss Elizabeth Bennet. Though Lizzy would probably not be so very interfering!
Highly recommend. 👍😀
