The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion: Vol. 3

The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion, Book 3

De: Beth Brower

Narrado por: Genevieve Gaunt

"It has been a day ordained by the fates, for how else could one explain the wholly cursed chain of events?"

The year is 1883, and Emma M. Lion has returned to her London neighborhood of St. Crispian’s. But Emma’s plans for a charmed and studious life are sabotaged by her eccentric Cousin Archibald, her formidable Aunt Eugenia, and the slightly odd denizens of St. Crispian’s.

Emma M. Lion offers up her Unselected Journals, however self-incriminating they may be. Armed with wit and a sideways amusement, Emma documents the curious realities of her life at Lapis Lazuli House.

Narrated by Genevieve Gaunt. A Londoner born and bred, she started her acting career playing Pansy Parkinson in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban before going on to read English at Cambridge where she graduated with a Double First.

Must Read

I read all 8 of the Emma M Lyon books in a week. It is such a good series, and re-reading via the audiobook doesn't disappoint. Initially, I didn't like the narration, it was too slow and not at all how I pictured Emma to sound. But listening at 1.2x makes it wonderful.

Excellence.

This is my new favorite book series. I know I will weep when it is over. The characters are so incredibly delightful and witty. The writing is lovely. The narrator is simply brilliant.

Love this series!!

Beautifully written and delightful storyline. This is my favorite series I’ve ever read. Listening for the second time!

It Keepa Gettung Better

The story is Jane Austen in period but decidedly modern in its approach. With its literary references, I definitely feel more educated after listening to it. I have read the entire series and listening to it has been very satisfying. Must recommend. My 18 year old daughter recommends as well!

A must read/listen!!!

I loved reading this series and now am delighted again listening! My favorite series in years!! Perfect narrator!!

So enjoyable!

I love the Emma M Lion books and have read all of them several times! I LOVED listening to these audio books! The performance was magnificent and the different voices are so delightful. I'm so glad they are on audible now!

Engrossing

Love the writing, the wit of the narrator (who is also the protagonist), the story, and the wonderful collection of characters.

I love the reader, her voices are amazing

Fabulous series. I will read it again and again. Can’t wait for the next one to come up on audible.

I genuinely did not know....

.....that it was possible to love this series more until the audio versions were released.

Endearing & entertaining!

Every character comes to life so specifically with this incredible performance. I cannot get enough. The awkward and insane moments with cousin Archibald are especially unforgettable. Brava! My only concern is will we be assured that future Netflix episodes will include every single detail of each of these volumes!? A must! So scrumptious and hilarious!
