Summary
Darcy had never known such a woman, one who could rush into an inferno and emerge as bold and brilliant as burnished brass, bright as any mirror.
Fitzwilliam Darcy had planned to leave Netherfield Park and all thoughts of the enchanting Miss Elizabeth Bennet behind him - until one night when he saw smoke rising from Longbourn and realized she was in peril.
Elizabeth Bennet found Mr. Darcy arrogant and insufferable right up until he became her hero, pulling her and her sister from the fire that devastated their home and could have claimed both of their lives. Seeing how he put his own life at risk to pull her from the fire, how could she help but change her opinion of him?
Thrown together again in the refuge offered at Netherfield, Darcy and Elizabeth’s unexpected bond gains strength. But disapproval, debts, and doubts all arise when the costs in time and expense involved in rebuilding Longbourn threaten to widen the gulf standing between Elizabeth and Darcy in the eyes of society. Amidst these perplexities of destruction and decorum, can love’s courage overcome calamity?

Brilliant variation
I’ve listened to sooo many P&P variations & rarely write reviews but this one is really, really good.
The author ensures the characters stay true to the original.
This story starts just after Jane recovers from her cold & returns home to Longbourne with Elizabeth.
The listener is then taken on a wonderfu journey with both protagonists as they find love. Such a joy!
I have to mention the brilliant narration by the wonderful Stevie Zimmerman.
I really can’t recommend this story enough

Great story, well narrated apart from Mrs Jameison
I really enjoy Stevie Zimmerman narrations, she has a good feel of all the P&P characters and her pacing is great. I was put off in this instance however by her accent for Mrs Jameison, though luckily it was a brief interaction. I still don’t know what it was supposed to be - at times it vaguely touched upon Scottish, Irish, even Cornish! She also sometimes lapsed into RP. I do wish editors would stop forcing narrators to do accents they can’t cope with especially when they’re not necessary to the plot.
The story itself was enjoyable, pretty low angst given the tragic beginning. ODC do take quite a long time to get to the point, but we also get a lot of interesting friendship forming and also a glimpse into the Bennet’s characters via Elizabeth’s musings. A solid 4 and a definite re-read.

An agony of manners
Goodness! I seriously doubted that they would get it together. Darcy's reticence was excruciating. Stevie Zimmerman was superb as always.

Brilliant!!
I absolutely loved this variation! The storyline and characters were amazing and it was quite funny at times. This version seemed more modern to me with less or changed formalities, while still keeping true to the characters. It was nice to see Darcy’s and Elizabeth’s relationship develop differently compared to other variations. Caress did an excellent job and I look forward to more from the author. As always, Stevie Zimmerman’s narration is wonderful. Highly recommend! I actually listened twice in a row!

Pure Joy
An absolutely lovely rendition, loved every minute. Cried with joy not angst at sweet moments.
Stevie Zimmerman is just the best narrator ever.
