About this listen
Excerpt:
Mr. Thomas Bennet massaged his temples as his five-day-old daughter again woke and cried in hungry complaint. He and the wet nurse Mrs. Lindsay had been on the road for two days with the infant, and his nerves had been strained to their limit by the poor babe’s pitiable circumstance – a mother who could not, would not, stand even the sight of her newborn child simply for its misfortune of failing to be born a male and the heir the mother desperately desired for the family’s entailed estate.
Mrs. Bennet had always been an excitable woman, but her husband had been utterly unprepared for her refusal to feed, hold, or even look at her new daughter. The midwife had informed him that she had witnessed this phenomenon in new mothers before, but never to the degree that his wife had displayed when she had threatened to harm the child if it was not removed from her presence. After two days of trying unsuccessfully to coax Mrs. Bennet to at least view the beautiful child, the father had been forced to take action to secure the tiny girl’s life and future.
It must be providential that I heard from my university friend just this week, Bennet thought.

Of Gates and Grace is a light, sweet, very low-angst novella of a little 39,000 words written from a decidedly Christian perspective. When Darcy and Elizabeth meet for the first time – or is it the second? – he mistakes her for a wood nymph. Excerpt: “Well, are you coming in?” After a pause, the gatekeeper, presumably St. Peter, repeated more slowly as if he was speaking to slow-witted children, “So are you two coming in or staying out there?” Darcy spoke first, “I don’t think I’m finished yet. I have more that I need to accomplish. My sister isn’t yet married, and…and...

Story
When Fitzwilliam Darcy makes an impetuous offer of marriage to Miss Elizabeth Bennet, he is convinced they have as good a chance as any for a harmonious life together. That is, until an overheard conversation changes everything, and Darcy realizes he is now joined in perpetuity to a woman who loathes the very sight of him. Elizabeth Bennet's expectations for matrimonial accord were never very high, having accepted Mr. Darcy's proposal in a fit of pique, not love. Still, she is determined to make the best of her situation. But life at Pemberley is not at all what she imagined.

While the revenge taken is not fully or graphically detailed, it is extreme. “He had certainly formed such a plan, and without meaning that it should effect his endeavour to separate him from Miss Bennet, it is probable that it might add something to his lively concern for the welfare of his friend.” Pride & Prejudice, chapter 45 This vagary proposes an alternate path for the characters of Pride and Prejudice.

Story
In this low angst, a sweet retelling of Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Mr. Bennet is not just idle, he is actively cruel. And Mrs. Bennet, while still uneducated, must do whatever she can to protect her daughters from their father. Mr. Darcy’s epiphany comes much earlier than in canon and it changes his relationships not only with the Bennets but with his sister, his cousin Anne, and Bingley. When the Bennet matriarch moves to an estate outside of Bath with her daughters, Bingley follows and so do both Darcy siblings.

Why an American accent?
Great story. However, choosing to narrate with virtual voice, why was an American accent selected? I couldn’t listen longer than a few minutes.

The story is engaging.
This virtual voice has a lisp and is high pitched. I feel like I am listening to a child, especially with some of the female characters. It also pronounces words incorrectly.
The story is good so worth the read on kindle.

You’ll love this one if you enjoy Jae George’s ability to weave scripture into new stories starring our favorite characters from P&P. I enjoyed this story’s low angst, clean, sweet, and comical diversion from canon.

Virtual voice lacks inflection
Virtual voice is cheap, but you get what you pay for, I guess. I won’t be listening to virtual voice recordings unless I’m very well acquainted with the story already. Otherwise it is easy to misunderstand what character is even speaking.
