Among Jane Austen's favorite novels, and a key work in the rise of Romanticism, Camilla follows the story of three young women, from childhood to young adulthood, and their pursuit of matrimony.

Kind but naive Camilla is in love with Edgar Mandlebert, a handsome and noble young man, but must suffer a series of frequent misunderstandings that threaten their happy union. Intelligent Eugenia, destined to inherit her uncle's great wealth, is plagued with misfortune as she is left disfigured by smallpox and has men court her for financial gain only. Meanwhile their cousin, beautiful but selfish Indiana, never finds a fortune for her good looks. Accompanying them is a cast of memorable characters, such as the rowdy prankster Lionel, the dim-witted Mr. Dubster, and the scornful Miss Margland.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Now I understand why Burney is not so popular and beloved as Jane Austen. Her stories are too long and full of unnecessary dialogue, and they are told in such a tragic way that it just makes one feel disgusted. For weeks, I struggled through until I could no longer. The rest of the plot I have just googled.
Newertheless I will give it two stars:
if the story were shorter (much shorter) it would be quite enjoyable. And the reader has read it quite well.

Funny Burney did not convince me!
