About this listen

A short, angst-free novella that occurs in the months after Hunsford. Darcy, realizing his mistakes, confesses his misdeeds to Bingley earlier, even before Elizabeth has the chance to visit Pemberley. As a result, Bingley returns to Hertfordshire in June, while Darcy retreats to Pemberley to reflect on his actions.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth, who has discovered her love for Darcy, writes a heartfelt letter expressing her newfound feelings. However, she unintentionally loses the letter, which she had intended not to post, but just as a way to express what she felt.

Unexpectedly, Bingley stumbles upon the misplaced letter and, assuming it was Elizabeth's intention to have him deliver it, promptly sends it to Darcy. Although Bingley is aware that there has been a disagreement between Darcy and Elizabeth, he remains unaware of the details.

Upon receiving the letter, Darcy is filled with a mix of emotions and promptly makes his way to Hertfordshire to seek clarification and resolve their misunderstandings.

This is a short novella of around 25,000 words and is written with minimal angst, ensuring that our dear couple, Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet, ultimately find their happily ever after.

The story is actually quite good. Very sweet and heartwarming. It did feel a bit rushed in places, but other than that I thought it to be well written.
I don't like that B didn't even consider the impropriety of sending that letter to D, even had E specifically asked him, but I suppose that there would not have been a story without, so I'll alove it.
The narration was also not bad, but unfortunately there were a few mispronounced words. They were easy to overlook though, so overall I would be alright listening to this narrator again.

The plot is interesting, the writer has kept it flowing. I am not too sure about narration as it could have been better.
