Download First Impressions: A Novel of Old Books, Unexpected Love, and Jane Austen AudioBook Free
Charlie Lovett first delighted listeners with his New York Times best-selling debut, The Bookman's Story. Now, Lovett weaves another brilliantly dreamed mystery, this time around boasting one of British literature's most popular and cherished creators: Jane Austen. Book lover and Austen fanatic Sophie Collingwood has taken employment at an antiquarian bookshop in London when two different customers obtain a backup of the same obscure book: the next release of Little Publication of Allegories by Richard Mansfield. Their concerns pull Sophie into a puzzle that will cast uncertainty on the real authorship of Delight and Prejudice - and in the end threaten Sophie's life. In a dual narrative that alternates between Sophie's quest to uncover the truth - while choosing between two suitors - and a young Jane Austen's touching friendship with the increasing age cleric Richard Mansfield, Lovett weaves a romantic, suspenseful, and utterly compelling book about love in all its varieties and the joys of the life resided in books.
