God bless kind midwives (and nurses)! This is such a grievous subject but handled with such gentleness. You took tragedy and turned it into triumph with talented word weaving. #nolongeravictim

Am I the only one asking why the author hates Elizabeth so much? She is a slave. No self respect whatsoever, being a nurse, a servant, a cook, a mother to a grown up man. And nothing good about Darcy. Zero. Would anybody want him as a partner? I normally enjoy P&P variations, but this one made me so angry. I wouldn't like this horrible man for myself or for my daughter. I would hate to be a woman without any self respect and I would hate my daughter to be a woman like Elizabeth in this story.

It is easy to think in modern terms when we read historical fiction. Unfortunately, in the era of this story, the life of woman was HARD. She had no rights and little support from others. A husband was free to treat his wife any way he wanted. Over the course of Mr. Darcy’s Mail-Order Bride he learns to cherish and value Elizabeth. This change, similar to Mr. Darcy’s in Jane Austen’s original goes from a man we all despise to one we love. I love Elizabeth in this story. She is full of courage and kindness.

@@JDawnKing Thank you for your reply. I honestly don't see any couradge from Elizabeth in this story, she is running a mile for unworthy man. Can't see him cherishing Elizabeth for what she is as a person, he only values her as a possession. In P&P Darcy showed more humility and regret for his behavior, he redeemed it a few times over. In Mail Bride Order he had to be on his knees just for nursing him. She had to do so much work - and be a mother to him and to his sister? In Jane Austin's book Elizabeth is much freer spirit and she would never let a man to humiliate her again and again and again. And it was the beginning of 19th century. I would rather see Elizabeth with the rifle than serving the man she doesn't love and can't respect (because who can? They are quoiting from Tolstoy? The wives of land owners in 19 century Russia didn't do all this physical work, nursed their husbands by themselves AND were emotionally abused by their husbands. Darcy read the books but what did he learn from them?). You obviously are a very good writer because this particular work made my blood boil.

Not my favourite. Elizabeth appeares too out of charactor. Where is Jane, her natural support system? Her support would run naturally along side Darcy's love story. This trauma seems more akin to Lydia Bennet, she appears to need change the most. Her vibrancy seems so wasted. Enjoyed all your other Novellas

Thank you for your opinion. Elizabeth would never have burdened sweet Jane with the ugliness of what happened and Jane would not have been strong enough to support her. Her vibrancy was what had her putting one foot in front of the other. Yes, Elizabeth had to rely on Darcy’s strength until she could stand alone, which she did. Lydia’s support would have been her mother which would have polarized her, I am afraid. I’m glad you enjoyed the others.

Darcy’s reticent, ponder every detail to death before he acts son seems to be just as passionate as himself. How delightful. Thank you for this. It is wonderful to have a glimpse into the future of the Darcy’s and Bingleys.

Re-listening is delightful as I am enjoying Elizabeth’s renaming of “Mr. Dark and Gloomy” too many times to count. It is Perfectly Funny. 😊 Thanks again. I really needed this today of all days (per an Ancient Chinese Philosopher).

I think the narrator choice is extremely important. Unfortunately I couldn’t listen to more than ten minutes of the book because the narrator was so bad. Please please please, I beg that you choose a narrator that is actually British and can tell the story well. This narrator had such a bad fake British accent and a very strange way of reading that it makes it very unpleasant to listen to.

What a wonderful exploration of a woman's place in a different time. Elizabeth steps up to work with her ailing father and earned respect from those who learned her dedication first hand. Then to lose everything when her father dies... it's like Cinderella after a glimpse of how differently glorious life could be. Very heart wrenching! Eye opener. Thanks for sharing this wonderful variation. Elizabeth is truly a heroic character.
