Mr. George Knightley. According to Emma Woodhouse, you won’t see one in a hundred who is so clearly the gentleman. Respected by all, he’s kind, unpretentious, and scrupulously honest, with an air so remarkably good that it’s unfair to compare other men to him. We also know he’s been his “own master” from a young age. But Jane Austen tells us little more.

What were his early years like, and how did he lose his parents? A man in his mid-30s, he must have had at least one romance along the way. Did it end badly? Is that why he’s never married? When and how did his relationship with Emma shift from friendship to love? And what can explain his incredible forbearance towards the eccentric Mr. Woodhouse? Now, Mr. Knightley reveals these answers and more in His Own Words.

This is not a variation from but a supplement to the original story of "Emma," chronicled in the hero’s point of view. Two-thirds completely new material, it features key events in Mr. Knightley’s past—events that still haunt him and yet have shaped who he’s become, the superior man Emma can’t help falling in love with.

I really enjoyed how the author painted a past for the characters of Jane Austen beloved novel that made them so much dearer and many actions and quirks more understandable. Being an avid reader of Jane Austen myself I am always very sceptical of any Jane Austen Adaptations, continuations or variations. I am not a great fan of authors taking to many liberties with the source material. This book is written well, the language does not differ too starkly from Austens that it feels too modern for the average reader but it also does not try to imitate her either, at least that is my impression. Like the title suggests it feel very much like it is written in Mr. knightly‘s „own words“ and is quite believable as such. The added storylines feel natural and ad a certain depth to Austens characters. I feel very sympathetic towards Mr Woodhouse after listening to this audio book. The romance is a little more explicit than Austen has written it, but it is not overly dramatic and more of a „closed door“ romance, wich I enjoyed very much. The narrator has a very pleasant voice and sounds very fitting to Mr. Knightly. All in all this has been a very pleasant Audio book and I am excited to listen to the other ones from this series. 4/5 for me.

Beautiful insight to the characters history
