    About this audiobook

    Emily Eden was the daughter of the 1st Baron Auckland, a close confidant of Pitt. She was thus well placed to observe the manners and mores of nineteenth century aristocracy. A huge admirer of Jane Austen, her works reflect this in their perception, tongue in cheek humour and benevolence toward the victims of her pen.

    The Semi Attached Couple is a revealing insight of attitudes and customs within marriage. Miss Eden asks, among other questions, what happens to a man, immediately after marriage, who believes his wife dislikes him? This set in a context in which people "may all hate, all envy, all rival each other; they may say everything that is ill-natured and do everything that is mischievous but the general effect, as painters would call it, must be harmony."

    Emily Eden

    Emily Eden (1797–1869) was an English author and poet. The daughter of a baron, she traveled to India as a young girl and later published a collection of letters from her time there. Her two novels, often favorably compared to the works of Jane Austen, are The Semi-Attached Couple and The Semi-Detached House.

      Regency Romance

      Jun 12, 2022

      With the success of the TV show Bridgerton, it was inevitable that copycat Regency romances would follow. For those who find them insipid and silly, this won’t be the greatest news, but I adored the Georgette Heyer books (she was the queen of the Reg
