Summary

What could possibly make a proper gentleman come completely undone?

What if Elizabeth Bennet accepted the proposal of another before she met Mr. Darcy again? In Abigail Reynolds' bold and playful retelling of the Austen classic, a devastated Mr. Darcy must decide how far he is willing to go to win the woman he loves. Consumed by jealousy, he knows that winning her will throw them both into scandal and disgrace, but losing her is unbearable. Mr. Darcy is going to have to fight for his love, and his life. . .

Unforgettable mr Darcy's undoing

I loved it all I was unable to put it down, however it is maybe better to listen to it alone or through headphones🤗😀

Very Poor Narration

Quite a good storyline but spoiled for me by very poor pronunciation by the narrator which will probably make me not buy another audiobook narrated by her.

Ms Reynolds repeats herself

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

If they were reading Reynolds for the first time. As a first experience of a P&P variation by A.R. , it might make an interesting read ... Here, however, the authoress repeats scenes and episodes used in other similar works.

Would you be willing to try another book from Abigail Reynolds? Why or why not?

I have read four of Ms Reynolds's remakes to date. She writes quite well, but having listened to four of her books, I find she tends to repeat some narrative "modules" and that the same scenes occur across books.

What does Vanessa Johansson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

She reads well, better than the interpreters of the other three books by the same authoress. She brings the characters alive and makes dialogue quite easy to follow.

Could you see Mr. Darcy's Undoing being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?

If one of this authoress's books were to become a series, I think "Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy" might be the best choice for its originality... However, if this book were to be made into a film, I think the leads might be played by any one of the recent Austen-novel heroes: Penry-Jones, Cowan, Northam, Lee-Millar ... Elizabeth by any of the recent P&P/ Austen series actresses like Ruth Wilson, Jemima Rooper...

Not in keeping with the true characters

This is a shame for the author who I normally enjoy but this is an exception.

The characters are not in keeping with their normal characters and stretch the line for a version of P&P when basing it on the two main characters while keeping true to them. They behave outside the normal for the time and are more in line with Wickham and Lydia apart from not eloping.

A disappointment and I wish I had read the book and not bought the audio book.
