This collection includes all surviving letters of Jane Austen. This is a chance for all her biggest admires to have a look inside the mind of the witty genius. Most of Austen's letters are addressed to her sister Cassandra, but there are also letters to her brothers, friends, and to her nieces and nephews, as well as publishers. The trained ear will recognize almost instantly the prose-voice of the great author.

The content is as expected, immutable. The narrator is perhaps the worst I've heard on an audiobook. Sonorous and thick, her voice has a narcoleptic quality.

I assume that there is some legal reason for this, but the constant repetition of the headings (at the start of each letter) was horribly grating.

Reader was sleep-inducing
