About this listen
The backbone of Mansfield Park is based around the marriages of sisters Lady Bertram, Mrs. Norris, and Mrs. Price. Each of these sisters marries a man from a different social class. Lady Bertram marries an extremely wealthy baronet, Sir Thomas Bertram; Mrs. Norris marries a clergyman who makes a decent living; and Mrs. Price marries a naval lieutenant who is injured shortly after they marry, causing his career to end with living in poverty.
This tale revolves around Fanny Price, who lives in poverty until being sent to live with her wealthy aunt Bertram. While she is received warmly at first, what unfolds is a life of cold neglect and further trouble in her new lifestyle.

Very enjoyable listen
This is one of my favourite books of all time and probably Austen’s most dramatic and (almost) risqué book. It follows the story of Fanny Price, a poor relation, sent to live with her much richer relations. There are several good villains and a good but misguided hero.
The narrator did an excellent job on all the characters except, surprisingly, Fanny Price, The shaking voice does not do Fanny justice. I recognize that she is supposed to be timid but nobody’s voice tremors all the time.
