À propos de cet audio
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.

Diverting and well-read
In the 4.5 range and definitely recommended.
This is an interesting variation on the Darcy and Elizabeth story. There is some angst, but not an excessive amount.
I found Mrs Bennet very diverting, when the story had us in Meryton. I also liked the uncommon version of Georgiana that was introduced at the start of the story, and who was important to the plot. Her role seemed to diminish and practically disappear after a certain point and, although I knew where she was and why, I did expect her to get mentioned or even make a reappearance later in the story.
The mystery part of it was well done. Some I could sort out pretty easily and early on, and I think the reader is supposed to, but there was a twist or two that kept it interesting and kept it from being mundane. I enjoyed the climax of it (Go, Lizzy! Go, Darcy! - read it and you’ll see what I mean).
I would have liked a little more of Elizabeth’s reaction to all of the revelations at the end, but I also understand why it was time to wrap up the story. I also know that I have an uncommon attachment to wanting to get into the thoughts and emotions of characters to understand the consequences of events on them and I suspect most readers would not miss seeing more of Elizabeth’s reaction.
I’ve read others by this author before and certainly will read more.
