Rewinding Time
Rewinding Time is a Pride & Prejudice variation in which Darcy and Elizabeth separately (and unbeknownst to each other) find themselves in possession of a potion that enables them to travel back one hour in time. The potion enables Darcy and Elizabeth to go back and change their mistakes, sometimes only to make new and different ones, and occasionally with farcical results. You will enjoy reading multiple variations of some of your favorite scenes from Pride & Prejudice, much more than Darcy or Elizabeth will enjoy experiencing them…
What readers are saying:
★★★★★ I ardently adore JAFF books with fantasy and magical themes, which includes time travel. This book is very inventive relating to the possible changes that could occur with a one hour “backstroke” in the river of time. I think most readers cheer when Elizabeth immediately retaliates to Darcy’s Meryton Assembly insult with her saucy wit, and she has the opportunity to do just that very well in this variation. Both D and E learn more about each other and gain wisdom from their time travel jaunts. I was a little nervous towards the end when Wickham complicates things, but justice wins out. This is a wonderful first published work by this author. I hope his imagination spurs him on to keep writing.
★★★★☆ It was a fun read, though I could not completely suspend my disbelief at the concept of the time potion. It was a good story though – I couldn’t put it down. I am looking forward to more of your work in the future!
★★★★★ I had thoughts about where and how exactly the potion would be used. While I was sometimes in the ballpark, I was happily surprised at how the scenes played out, and the depth it gave our view of our favorite couple. I think more of us could use the idea of “turning back the clock” to talk through our disagreements more easily. Highly recommend!
★★★★☆ I enjoyed this story, and it was a quick read without heavy angst.
★★★★★ I thoroughly enjoyed this take on the story, and the idea was beautifully developed, in my opinion. I would recommend it to anybody who enjoys magical takes of Miss Austen stories.
★★★★★ The book is in some parts rather witty. I like Mr Bennet’s comments and Elizabeth’s encounter with Lady Catherine led me to laugh out loud several times, even when the end of the first encounter was quite unexpected.
If you like a story where Darcy and Elizabeth are, with the help of a potion, able to correct their statements and behaviour and with this have a better understanding of each other, you should definitely read this book.
★★★★★ What a fabulous new variation. At first I worried I would feel a little like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day and feel bored of repetition, but every time I cringed inwardly at the original Austen events I was excited to travel back with our dear couple to see a different outcome.
There is a thrilling climax to this novel featuring the potential Lydia/Wickham elopement that had me on the edge of my seat.
I highly recommend it.
★★★★★ Cute and funny, with a lot of heart! This is a sweet book that imagines what could happen if Darcy and Elizabeth had a magic potion that would let them go back in time one hour. Perfect for Groundhog Day, or any time you just need a fell-good boost!
★★★★★ A fun read, with a bit of magic and some humor as our dear couple turn back time to correct errors made and fix things such as disparaging comments at the Assembly. I won’t add spoilers. Read this book. It will make you smile, and even chuckle.
★★★★★ I thoroughly enjoyed this take on the story, and the idea was beautifully developed, in my opinion. I would recommend it to anybody who enjoys magical takes of Miss Austen stories.
