Austen’s Oeuvre
PERSUASION
(Naxos AudioBooks)
by Jane Austen and read by Juliet Stevenson
Eight years have passed since Anne Elliot was persuaded to reject a marriage proposal by Frederick Wentworth, a young naval officer of merit but little means. She never forgot him. When he reenters her social sphere as a rich and successful captain looking for a wife, Anne fears he may never forgive her and there is no hope of reconcilliation. Jane Austen's last novel addresses the irony of social mobility and the delight of life's second chances.

New Austen Inspired Book
LADY VERNON AND
HER DAUGHTER
by Jane Rubino & Caitlen Rubino-Bradway
In this clever retelling of Jane Austen's novella Lady Susan our previous notions about Austen's duplitious heroine are turned on its head by revealing the backstory of why Lady Susan’s reputation as the 'most accomplished Coquette in England' springs from malicious gossip gone awry. Peppered with allusion to and the appearance of several characters from Austen’s other canons truly make this novel a delicious read.
