Austen at Sea
by Natalie Jenner
DID NOT FINISH: 60%
Dnf at 60%
For me this book just didn’t hit the mark. I have enjoyed Jane Austen books and books about Jane Austen so I thought this would be an instant hit for me. The two sisters I found rather dull and read very young. In the beginning they just seemed to be fangirls of Jane Austen wanting to travel to her hometown, which seemed a little stalkerish. When they were on the boat traveling to Jane’s home they were putting on plays and I was not interested in that. These were grown women putting on a childish play, just was odd. There were too many characters to keep up with and I didn’t find them that interesting. I ended up dnf’ing around the 60% mark. I thought it was a poor choice to have a male narrated for a book with women as the main characters and a book that focused on women’s rights.
