Review: My Dearest Miss Fairfax, What Jane Austen’s Emma didn’t know by Jeanette Watts, narrated by Stevie Zimmerman
My Dearest Miss Fairfax: What Jane Austen’s Emma didn’t know is a great Historical Fiction Audiobook from Award Winning author Jeanette Watts. Just like the title suggests it, this is a story that it is carefully woven with the classic Emma by the renowned Jane Austin.
Jeanette Watts did a fantastic job with recreating those long gone times with this Regency-set historical fiction novel and I think that this story will appeal to both Jane Austen fans and followers, but also to readers and listeners fascinated by this captivating genre.
Set in England in the year 1813, the action follows the complicated lives and love story of Miss Jane Fairfax and Mr. Frank Churchill. Their paths will collide with that of Jane’s aunt and the notorious Emma Woodhouse, as she threatens the understanding between them to wait for the opportune moment to make their relationship public. Romance, lies, intrigue, the social pressures of the era and deceit make for great and thrilling listen.
Speaking of listening, the audiobook version of My Dearest Miss Fairfax: What Jane Austen’s Emma didn’t know is expertly and beautifully narrated by talented Native UK English voiceover artist and narrator Stevie Zimmerman. Drawing from her experience of narrating over 100 audiobooks in multiple genres, Stevie delivers an entertaining and immersive performance.
So, if you love Jane Austen-inspired novels or are a fan of Regency-set historical fiction, I think that you should consider picking up My Dearest Miss Fairfax: What Jane Austen’s Emma didn’t know by Jeanette Watts. The writing is great, the story is interesting, the characters are well developed and the atmosphere is immersive.
