Story
One hundred and fifty years ago, Chawton was the final home of Jane Austen, one of England's finest novelists. Now, it's home to a few distant relatives and their diminishing estate. With the last bit of Austen's legacy threatened, a group of disparate individuals come together to preserve both Jane Austen's home and her legacy. These people - a laborer, a young widow, the local doctor, and a movie star, among others - could not be more different and yet they are united in their love for the works and words of Austen.

Story
Austen wrote, 'I am going to take a heroine whom no-one but myself will much like' and thus introduces the handsome, clever, rich - and flawed, Emma Woodhouse. Emma is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage; nothing however delights her more than matchmaking her fellow residents of Highbury. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr. Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protegee Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected.

When her father leaves the Church, Margaret Hale is uprooted from her comfortable home in Hampshire to move with her family to the North of England. Initially repulsed by the ugliness of her new surroundings in the industrial town of Milton, Margaret becomes aware of the poverty and suffering of local mill workers and develops a passionate sense of social justice. In North and South Gaskell skillfully fused individual feeling with social concern and in Margaret Hale created one of the most original heroines of Victorian literature.

Story
What's Georgiana Darcy's story? Jane Austen tells us so little in Pride and Prejudice that we're left to wonder. How did the early loss of her parents shape Miss Darcy's character? And what about her near-disastrous affair with Mr. Wickham? Is that the true source of her shyness? She adores her brother and his new wife, Elizabeth, but will their guiding influence be enough to steer Georgiana clear of new trouble as she comes of age and falls in love again?

Had Jane Austen lived to complete Sanditon, it would have been as treasured as her other novels. In the half-finished masterpiece, Austen fashions one of her classic heroines: Charlotte Heywood. The surviving fragment also sets the story well on its path as Charlotte begins an adventure to Sanditon where a full cast of characters becomes intertwined in various intrigues.

When she visits her brother in Kent to celebrate his engagement, she meets wealthy, devilishly handsome Edward Taylor - a fascinating young man who is truly worthy of her affections.

Drags a little but good story!
This is a well-told story, yet heartbreaking throughout if you know how Jane Austen’s life went romantically. I hope all readers know going into it that it is very factionalized. It’s a good story, but fanciful. It drags in spots and gets bogged down in details, but hang with it, as the situations are really compelling!

Wonderful story & narration
I read the many great reviews on the goodreads app and agree with them all. There are some naysayers. But I have to say that not only did I enjoy the book, but I felt as if I actually know Ms. Austen. I believe that was because the author seemed to capture her spirit and the narrator did an amazing job of bringing the writing to life.

A Skillfully Woven, Compelling Tale!
Syrie James skillfully interweaves historical details of Jane Austen's life, aspects of her wit & wisdom, character & convictions, and details of her writings to create a most intriguing unveiling of her one "true love" -- cherished by Austen, but kept secret out of necessity. James most cleverly crafts a plot in which the events (revealed by this lost memoir) serve to inspire Austen to make key plot changes to several of her novels (as we now know & adore them) as she experiences deep emotional turmoil as well as intense joy and passion.
Stina Nielsen is a masterful narrator who beautifully manifests the voices of quite a few diverse characters. I lost myself in the storyline as I listened to the audio book because Nielsen so adeptly brings each character to life. To feel like I'm listening to an a conversation that actually could have taken place by or near Jane Austen is phenomenal!

Prepare to weep...
This was a remarkable book, excellent narration, and so many thoughts going through my mind...
I believe that these manuscripts were found. I believe they are Jane Austen’s. I was so excited to hear the first chapter on how they came to be and was so upset on the last chapter, about information that upset regarding Jane Austen. If I told you it would be a spoiler and I hate that.
I recommend this book so highly I wished there had been more memoirs found by her. 5 ⭐️ plus
Thank you for finding these and giving us a glimpse into one of the most popular novelist from the 19th Century.
