This is my 3rd Austen novel, and unfortunately, the one I’ve enjoyed the least. I think I may have a better appreciation for it after learning more about Austen’s life, and seeing how her experiences were reflected in her writing, so I’ll try again one day. I wasn’t very hooked by the story until the last hour or two when it started coming together.
Erivo has a lovely voice, but I found her narration a bit hard to follow. It wasn’t very fluid, and I wish she would’ve done more distinct character voices. It was hard to tell what was dialogue vs narration, and who was speaking. If I were physically reading, I think this would have been different, but alas.

not exactly the best austen to start with. feel I need to come back to this after reading pride and prejudice.
