Austen at Sea by Natalie JennerMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Clean historical fiction with some romance, set in 1965 Boston and Hampshire, England. Some interesting data about the reserved Austen family, but readers should be familiar with Jane’s work in order to appreciate the many references to her books.
When listening to an audiobook, it is sometimes difficult to keep track of a large number of characters. Their relationships and interactions get a bit overwhelming, and I felt this while listening to “Austen at Sea.” Some of the characters were appealing, while others were just annoying.
Rupert Graves did well in his narration of the audiobook, although I didn’t care for some of his women’s voices. His pacing was excellent, as I would expect from such a good actor.
This audiobook will be published on Mary 6, 2025 by Macmillan Audio. Many thanks to the publisher, the author, and to NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to the book in exchange for an honest review.
