About this audiobook
Austen's last novel, published posthumously. A timeless masterpiece, rich in everything: keen observation, characterizations, wonderful prose and a meaty plot and subplot(s)...in short, everything that we expect from and love about the great author!..Anne Elliot and Frederick Wentworth meet and fall in love; but Anne's entourage, especially mentor Lady Russell; persuade her not to act on her feelings, as the deem the young naval officer not suitable. Eight years later—Anne still a spinster—she meets Frederick again, now a Captain, intent on marrying Anne's neighbour Louisa Musgrove... Will the true love—still intact—between Anne and Frederick make itself known and correct everything in this mess?
Jane Austen
Jane Austen was born in 1775 in rural Hampshire, the daughter of an affluent village rector who encouraged her in her artistic pursuits. In novels such as Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park and Emma she developed her subtle analysis of contemporary life through depictions of the middle-classes in small towns. Her sharp wit and incisive portraits of ordinary people have given her novels enduring popularity. She died in 1817.
