About this listen

At just ten years old, Fanny Price is sent from her poor Portsmouth home to live with the family of her wealthy uncle, Sir Thomas Bertram, in the vast grandeur of Mansfield Park.

Timid and fragile, Fanny is neglected by the indolent Lady Bertram, belittled by her conceited cousins Maria and Julia, and constantly reminded of her lowly status by her ever-critical Aunt Norris. Her only comfort is the kindness and attention shown by her cousin Edmund, and her sole strength the sense of her own moral integrity. But this strength is tested when the alluring and sophisticated Henry and Mary Crawford arrive, and Fanny must watch her cousins – even her beloved Edmund – succumb to their seductive charms.

I wasn't a fan of the subject matter in this one. It's all attraction, flirting, selfishness, manipulation, self-indulgence, & improper decisions. Apart from the pure & longsuffering Fanny, there isn't another likeable character among them. It was very hard to read so many characters putting themselves into more & more compromising positions & wilfully putting themselves directly in the path of temptation. For the time period, this was shocking behaviour. I'm surprised that Jane Austen wrote this. It feels like a different author. I didn't enjoy this & I wouldn't recommend it.

Fenella Woolgar does a fabulous job of emoting the different characters, & she makes this tedious book engaging to listen to.
