Way too short! Only 34 minutes long!

I had no idea it was do short, I failed to notice. However what I did hear I enjoyed.

Maria Lucas

Why do American authors insist on using the word "gotten" in their writings about English subjects. It is a word that has never been used in the English language. I enjoyed the Pride and Prejudice stories.

Such a sweet story

I enjoy the story and it had a very sweet ending but I am still unclear about the darkest hour the author described. She also described predicament , but gave no explanation of what occurred. I would read a sequel for sure.
