Publisher's Summary

Left impoverished upon the death of her aunt, Emma Watson has no option but to be reunited with her estranged father and siblings. Initially delighted with her new life - including the fashionable society balls to which she now has access - Emma soon realizes that her family harbors many ill feelings, not least those springing from the sisters' hopes - and disappointments - in snaring a husband. So when the eligible and suitably rich Tom Musgrove begins to transfer his affections from her sister Margaret to Emma, the result can only be further sibling rivalry and unrest.

A delightful, exquisitely drawn portrait of family life, The Watsons is Jane Austen at her storytelling best. Author of the masterpieces Pride and Prejudice and Emma, Jane Austen (1775 - 1817) is one of the most beloved novelists of all time.

What there was - was great!

Why Jane Austen abandoned this book, we will never know.
How I wish that she had developed it to completion :(

The narration was superb; could not have been better. Beth Kessler does Jane Austen, better than anyone else (give a listen to her performance of Pride & Prejudice).

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
