Sixteen-year-old Fanny Gardiner is shaken and mortified when the significantly older Thomas Bennet stalks her and compromises her, claiming her as his future wife. Unlike the average young woman, Fanny engages in chess, invests in her brother's business, and secures her own dowry. Now wed, she must endure her husband's disdain for her intellect and his relentless cruelty when she bears five daughters without providing an heir for Longbourn.

As Thomas receives a knighthood and delves into his mathematical gambling theory, Fanny must learn to manage Longbourn with the assistance of the capable, intelligent, and gentle steward, Mr. Benjamin Edwards, the third son of a gentleman who himself suffered from Sir Thomas' gambling habits. Can they resist the mutual attraction that develops while they collaborate to save Longbourn and secure dowries for her daughters?

Find, adventure, intrigue, true love, unselfish acts, murder, and redemption within. Incorporating other variations from the original canon, discover many familiar characters in new roles, all culminating in a satisfying resolution for the true villain, George Wickham. Welcome to Fanny's Unyielding Spirit. Enjoy!

It’s a pretty good story except for two things. One is Hill learning that Darcy and Bingley had visited Hertfordshire later in the book. That and the fact that the Colonel was on the continent fighting while hunting Wickham made me question the timeline of the book. Second is Darcy stuck at Pemberley dealing with things like poor tools. Doesn’t quite seem right with an estate like Pemberley. Where’s the steward at?

Two things bug me.

I realized I had read the book while listening to the last chapters. It is an interesting story that wasn’t helped by the the virtual voice. I think it could have been shortened here and there to gain a tighter narrative. I zoned out a couple of times while listening to it. Most of the LCdB interactions, while surprising, didn’t really add anything, same with the Matlocks. I loved how original it was. I greatly appreciate reading or listening to a variation where the author is brave enough to color outside the lines.

Interesting off canon variation
