Fantastic story, hard to listen to narrator
Revisado: 09-09-17
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would not recommend this book solely because of the narrator. I hate to say it but I felt like I was listening to a BBC newscast that would never end. Even the characters spoke with the newscaster lilt.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
I loved the plot of this book! There was a twist at the end I never saw coming!
Would you be willing to try another one of Susan Duerden’s performances?
No way. We're done.

Samantha McDonough cannot believe her eyes - or her luck. Tucked in an uncut page of a 200-year-old poetry book is a letter she believes was written by Jane Austen, mentioning with regret a manuscript that "went missing at Greenbriar in Devonshire". Could there really be an undiscovered Jane Austen novel waiting to be found? Could anyone resist the temptation to go looking for it?

Lukewarm and annoying, but a decent story.

Any additional comments?
The reading was excellent in parts, extremely annoying in others. The narrator has the habit of finishing sentences with a long drawn out syllable in the throat. It's really annoying. But the voices during the Austen part of the story were excellent, and I found myself enjoying the book about halfway through. I think I would have enjoyed it more with a different narrator. I did notice some modern colloquialisms that would not have been in a true Austen novel, but I think one has to look past those little things. It's not actually written by Austen, after all. It felt sort of like a mashup of all of Austen's novels and it was actually fairly satisfying in that way. I found the modern part of the story quite lacking and undeveloped though. I nearly would have rather had just the Austen story and not bothered with the surrounding modern tale.

Story picks up halfway through, narrator terrible.
Revisado: 04-09-14
What did you like best about this story?
I liked the ending, honestly, if you've purchased it and stopped listening, I promise it picks up in the second half. Just unfortunate that it took 7 hours to get there!
Would you be willing to try another one of Antonia Beamish’s performances?
No way. I felt like it could have been 2 hours shorter if she'd just stopped all the pausing and halting! I love her vocal tone and I'm sure she's lovely but this was not a great reading.

When Hetty Longden, freshly dumped and brokenhearted, agrees to look after her greatuncle’s dilapidated mansion in the English countryside, she’s at something of a lifetime low. With no job, no lover, no prospects, and no particular talent for resuscitating crumbling estates, she hopes for nothing more than some good oldfashioned escape.

Great story, bad file

Love the story but the recording has several skips, as if the CD is skipping. Downloading again didn't help. Checked out the book from Overdrive and it has the same problem. Bah.
