In Plain Sight: A Pride & Prejudice Variation by Nicole Clarkston, Ellen Pickels, Janet Taylor, Don Jacobson
3.0
This one was a bit different. Darcy is sentenced to hard labour for 7 years. Whipped, and no one cares of he lives or die. But he still managed to meet Lizzy. No one knows who is is though as he has a false name.
Darcy is without his pride as he is a rather broken soul that starts to live again. And Lizzy falls for a man very beneath her, but all she needs is love.
But there is some darkness too as the man who uses these convicts as labour, is a hard man who does not care about their lives.
Love will always win though but they have a lot to overcome, not to mention that he is still has time to serve!
One thing though, someone else also get a sentence, and that one was rather lenient in my opinion. Oh, and Caroline Bingley is a right B as always!
Interesting take on the tale.
I have listened to many by this narrator now and she is very good. She seems to have a real feel for the era and manages to portray people in different social classes and more.
