Publisher's Summary:
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.
Members Reviews:
too fictional for my taste
although I enjoyed the book. And the author explains the historical facts at the end and explains the credibility of most part of the story and some of the characters, I did not enjoy that those facts "made" Elizabeth Bennett and Mr Darcy to be involved in several compromises which I believe are totally out of character for both of them and therefore ruined the book for me. Don't get me wrong, I loved the compromises but for the time of the story I don't believe them as easy to dismiss as they were. I read another variation that involved a light compromise between the two of them and both of them acted as they should, and it seemed more realistic than this one.
Also, I didn't like that lady Matlock was so flippant about compromising miss Elizabeth.
overall, the story was entertaining enough but not one of my favorite variations
If you love the Darcy's you'll enjoy this!
Any additional comments?
This is another great variation to the Elizabeth & Darcy story. It weaves in enough of the original story to keep the spirit of JAs book part of this story, however, the mix of circumstances develops into a new story. The story seems to get into more detail about the political situation at the time, how it affected friends and family and how Darcy and Elizabeth managed through it. Elizabeth Klett is the narrator and does an excellent job. She helps make the story engaging with her ability to distinguish each character with a unique voice. I can easily recommend this audiobook. I also must say that I received this title for free in exchange for an unbiased review.
