Laurie whicher
The narrator adds to the enjoyment with her range of voices and accents. She does the english accent very well. It also has a very austen like plot. It is a nice light "read" which will not tax your brain very much but will pass the time very nicely.
A very fun confection for any Austen fan. Good narration, and enjoyable storyline. Don't think too hard about the physics of the time-travel involved, and it's a fun and at times even insightful peek into the good and the bad of Regency England, a la Austen. This book is captivating, surprising, scrumptious, delicious, wickedly witty--a perfect delight!!! Ok true confession time: I was listening to Cormack McCarthy's "The Road" on Audible Air one hour at a time, and it segue'd into the beginning of this book mid-Road without the "This is Audible" announcement.
What kind of book would make me drop The Road like a hot potato and suddenly find myself powerless to resist??! I'm sorry, Cormack!!! It's so fun spotting the parallels between what the heroine Courtney goes through and Austen's works, and then the best part is comparing how a modern, liberated woman would chafe under the rules of living back then. But wait! The best part is the scheming mother and the eye-rolling, secretly modern daughter.
I can't say I'd share Courtney's love of the peacefulness of not being bothered by cell phones, email, etc. I really enjoyed this book. I read the other reviews before purchasing it, and had braced myself for some kind of unsatisfying ending. However, I loved the ending. And the beginning. And the middle. I listened to it all in one day, while doing yard work.
I've read and listened to all of Jane Austen's books, and as a 21st century working woman, I completely related to the main character, and laughed out loud several times during the book.
Five stars from me. I loved it. I'll certainly be listening to it again, as one of my favorites. This was surprisingly fun. I would have thought Jane, the woman from the regency era would be more of a push over but she isn't. She turns out to have more backbone than Courtney the present day "independant" woman.
The romance was OK that wasn't the part I enjoyed the most. It was how Jane starts to take over Courtney's life and actually starts to make it better. I liked this book better than the first book. If you're just looking for light reading, with no deeper meaning, this is the book for you.
I love Jane Austen and it was fabulous to read a book about a modern woman dropped in that time. If you're a fan of Jane Austen you've probably imagined what it would be like to live in the world of Lizzy Bennett and Mr Darcy.
I pray for you, Tom Whicher. All my love, Tom Eddy. Tom was a gentile giant that always had a hug and a smile for me! I will miss him! Susie, Jacksonville Florida. Sunglass will miss your visits and trading emails, we sure had some good times, hard to believe that I've known you 25 years. I will hoist a drink in your honor today at Burton Place. Good night, God bless Tom. I'll miss you around the office. Thanks for all the laughs and treats you were very kind. Sleep tight, see you in the next life.
Kay Harrison Traditions Realty. Goodbye Uncle Tom. You were one of the best neighbors and friends I could have ever wished for.
I will always miss our preseason Big Ten talks and your passing leaves a hole in the hearts of the children and myself. You will be dearly missed. I initially met Tom in the late 80's in Chicago. We met on the raquetball court and competed against each other for years. We became close friends, and feel honored to have gotten to know him and have him in my life. He was a class act, a true friend, a noble warrior on the court, and always, always focused on enjoying life. I, everyone he knew, and this world, will miss him greatly.
Love you like a brother Tom. Keep your raquet handy. We'll be playing again sometime. I worked with Tom at Traditions Realty. He worked at a desk in the same room so we got to know each other a little and be together often enough to get on each other's nerves. I am saddened and shocked that Tom isn't still walking into the room announcing himself and making his presence felt. I am very sorry he did not get that opportunity.
