Rekindle your love for Jane Austen Sense and Sensibility Jane Austen Narrated By Hannah Curtis
Austen's debut novel Sense and Sensibility is a tale of love set in late 18th-century England that has captivated audiences since it was published. After tragedy strikes sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, they find themselves searching for suitable husbands. Each approaches love differently, with one impulsively jumping into romance while the other taking a more prudent path. Elinor feels ill-equipped to compete with the self-centered, fortune-driven society she finds herself in, whilst Marianne's unshakeable belief in her own feelings makes her susceptible to the designs of unscrupulous men. Can they both find true love?
Mansfield Park Jane Austen Narrated By PJ Roscoe
Winding romantic entanglements, mature situations, and familial drama are common in Austen's literature, but Mansfield Park is one the author's most complex novels. The book has been lauded for its challenging of the conservative values of the age, and for its masterful artistry which cleverly disguises the social commentary within. When Fanny Price is very young, she is sent away to live with her aunt and uncle at Mansfield Park, a large estate filled with all of Fanny's insufferable cousins and family members. Her life is full of people mistreating her and acting unpleasant, and generally giving her a difficult time. As Fanny grows older, she faces awkward situations as her cousins begin to fall in love and pair off, and what ensues is a twisting tale of love triangles, mistaken affection, playful seductions, and the pain of young love scorned.

Northanger Abbey Jane Austen Narrated By PJ Roscoe
Northanger Abbey is Austen's satirical, self-referential parody of the gothic fiction. This classic coming-of-age story blends over-the-top drama, fascinating characters, and Austen's patented eloquence. Catherine Moreland is an imaginative 17-year-old who loves to read the dark, mysterious, and romanticized genre. She is at the age that ladies of her era are meant to be courting and settling into lives of leisure. As Catherine begins to navigate the world outside of her family, her naivete and escapism become barriers to society. She begins to fancy herself as a character in a gothic drama. Everyday scenarios become romanticized and dramatic, natural deaths become mysterious, and innocent motives are questioned.
Lady Susan Jane Austen Narrated By PJ Roscoe
One of Austen's earliest completed novels, Lady Susan is a fun glimpse at British society in the 18th century. It's also a fascinating character study of Lady Susan Vernon, an unscrupulous widow who charms everyone she meets-particularly the men-and is keen on toying with emotions for her own amusement. Told in letters between various characters, Lady Susan follows the coquette's escapades and influences on her family, and the impact her presence has on their trysts and ties to one another.

How can Noelle maintain her icy shields when every heated glance melts her to her core?
