About this listen

How to be a reader - how to be a writer. All you need to know.

Alice is an 18-year-old student and aspiring novelist with green spiky hair, a child of the modern age who recoils at the idea of reading Jane Austen. In a sequence of letters reminiscent of Jane Austen's to her own niece, 'aunt' Fay examines the rewards of such study. Not only is her correspondence a revealing tribute to a great writer - it is also an original and rewarding exploration of the craft of fiction itself.

complete tripe

condescending drivel.
Life is far too short to waste 5 1/2 hours listening to this.
