"Richard Armitage is an excellent choice of narrator for this celebration of the famed British author's work. His deep, resonant voice meanders through the stories of seven different people in the small English town of Chawton...a great casual listen, especially for those familiar with Austen's work." (AudioFile magazine)
This program includes a bonus conversation between the author and Kathleen A. Flynn, author of The Jane Austen Project.
Just after the Second World War, in the small English village of Chawton, an unusual but like-minded group of people band together to attempt something remarkable.
One hundred and fifty years ago, Chawton was the final home of Jane Austen, one of England's finest novelists. Now, it's home to a few distant relatives and their diminishing estate. With the last bit of Austen's legacy threatened, a group of disparate individuals come together to preserve both Jane Austen's home and her legacy. These people - a laborer, a young widow, the local doctor, and a movie star, among others - could not be more different and yet they are united in their love for the works and words of Austen. As each of them endures their own quiet struggle with loss and trauma, some from the recent war, others from more distant tragedies, they rally together to create the Jane Austen Society.
A powerful and moving novel that explores the tragedies and triumphs of life, both large and small, and the universal humanity in us all, Natalie Jenner's The Jane Austen Society is destined to resonate with listeners for years to come.
A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press
"Fans of The Chilbury Ladies' Choir and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society will adore The Jane Austen Society.... A charming and memorable debut, which reminds us of the universal language of literature and the power of books to unite and heal." (Pam Jenoff, New York Times best-selling author of The Lost Girls of Paris)
"Anyone seeking an antidote to contemporary chaos will find a welcome respite among the members of a group whose outer lives may appear simple, but whose inner lives need the kind of balm Austen knew well." (Washington Post)
"Just like a story written by Austen herself, Jenner's first novel is brimming with charming moments, endearing characters, and nuanced relationships, all largely set within and reflecting the often intrusive atmosphere of a small country community.... The pleasures are many in this clever tribute to the beloved and endlessly influential Austen and the English village tale." (Booklist starred review)

Geschichte
Shocking and controversial when it was first published, The Grapes of Wrath is Steinbeck's Pultizer Prize-winning epic of the Joad family, forced to travel west from Dust Bowl-era Oklahoma in search of the promised land of California. Their story is one of false hopes, thwarted desires and powerlessness, yet out of their struggle Steinbeck created a drama that is both intensely human and majestic in its scale and moral vision.

They say Paris is always a good idea.... You know what I say? Paris would be a much better idea if I spoke the dang language. I can't even board the metro to visit the Louvre without ending up at the Moulin Rouge, and let's not even mention how I'll ever make it through a day at my new office. Fortunately my company hooks me up with my own personal translator. Ooh la la. Or should I say bloody hell? Because he's charming, witty, and British, and he brings the city to life for me.

Enttäuschend
Ich hatte mich sehr auf diese Geschichte gefreut, allerdings erfüllt sie quasi keine der Erwartungen, die man an eine solche Story hat. Es passiert sehr wenig, es gibt kaum Charakterentwicklung und auch die Romanzen sind nicht wirklich berührend. Es werden viele der ungeschriebenen Regeln des Genres gebrochen. Dadurch ist die Geschichte weniger klischeehaft, aber auch kaum befriedigend.
Auch die Referenzen zu Austens Texten und Austen selbst waren sehr enttäuschend. Meist schwärmen die Figuren nur davon, wie sehr sie Austen lieben, es wird aber nicht ausgeführt, warum die Texte ihnen genau etwas bedeuten. Wenn es dann doch mal um den Inhalt der Romane geht, sind die Interpretationen aus meiner Sicht fast immer falsch. Wirklich schade!

Beautiful voice for a good but not great story
The performance of the book flows splendidly. The different characters are given distinctive voices and clear regional/country accents. I really enjoyed that.
The story itself is good, but I was greatly distracted wondering if any points were historically true other than the great author’s books and the physical buildings. (For future listeners: no, it’s all made up).
The parallels between these characters and Austen’s did engage me and I hope my review will help others to enjoy the book without distraction. I would have given four stars for the story except for the aforementioned reality question and an editor’s error in one of the key moments of one of the romances (but I don’t want to spoil the story by expounding here).

Zehn Sterne Minimum!
Einfach nur fantastisch!
Die Charaktere, die Handlung, die Beschreibungen von Ort und Zeit, die Gedanken und Gefühle - und natürlich die Fakten über Jane Austen, die Zitate, die Analysen ihrer Personen und Bücher: all das nimmt so sehr gefangen, daß man gar nicht merkt, wie die Zeit vergeht.
Richard Armitage als Sprecher bringt sie alle wunderbar in unsere Ohren, junge Amerikanerin wie alten Engländer, Lehrerin wie Bauer wie Doktor wie Gärtner oder Hausmädchen
Und als kleines Schmankerl gibt es noch ein Interview mit der Autorin am Ende des Hörbuchs.
Schon lange nicht mehr etwas so sehr Bewegendes gehört.!
