Miss Knightley Goes to Bath

Written by Riley Smith

Narrated by Nora Tjossem

Everyone knew the charming Emma Woodhouse and principled Mr. Knightley were meant for each other. But with two high-spirited parents such as these, how could their child be anything but extraordinary?

Miss Belle Knightley is tired of the little town of Highbury. It feels like her mother and father never even leave the grounds of Donwell Abbey, and all of Miss Knightley’s acquaintances are either a relative or a longtime friend (or enemy) of her mother’s. There seems to be nothing new under the sun, so Miss Knightley jumps at the chance to accompany her young friend Miss Elton on her first journey to Bath.

But even this excursion seems rife with familiar faces. The young ladies are accompanied to their first ball by Miss Elton’s brother and Miss Knightley’s cousins, the eldest of whom seems to think he and Miss Knightley are all but engaged! Not willing to spend the rest of her life as another Mrs. Knightley, she resolves never to marry. But spending additional time with the young Mr. Elton reveals new aspects of his personality. Is it newness she truly wishes for, or just a companion spirit to appreciate her properly? Can love make even this old friendship new?

Reviews for Miss Knightley Goes to Bath

[Cilica · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

The author's short stories seem like college assignments. Quite topical and superficial.

[Sam Ashish · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Nice easy listening,pity it was so short, i could have listened to 20 chapters.

[Johanna · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

A promising and interesting buildup for a very abrupt unsatisfactory ending.

[Elise Hartley · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I was really enjoying this story but it then ended quite abruptly. It felt like it was missing the conclusion. Looking back over the way it ended I suppose it does hint at a conclusion. But I am left with so many questions. Who does she marry? Does she marry at all? Who does her cousin marry? There was nothing wrapped up in a little bow at the end of the story. All of the threads are left open to the readers interpretation. I'm still not sure if this was deliberate or if the last few chapters were simply not recorded. That said I enjoyed everything leading up to the end and thus really wanted it to continue.

[Ayana Emerald · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

It was an abrupt ending definitely felt like more could have been added to the story

[judiththorne · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

It was a delightful too short short story. More please

[Calissa · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

It's like a quarter of a book. The author wrote compelling characters, got you invested, then just... stopped. There is no conclusion. It just ends and you are left wondering what happened.

[Danielle Anderson · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

I didn’t like the way it ended. Will try again.

[Judelbugs Rutter · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

It was good. But a little too short. I guess Jane Austen would agree.

[A Chapple · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I enjoyed the story, but it seems unfinished. Is there a part 2?

[veronica needa · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Lovely story. But reader not accurate with pronunciation so was somewhat aggravated!
But I endured it as the story was delightful.

[Niobe k boon mendoza · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A pitch perfect skillfully written sweet little romance . Enjoy.

[Elena Hobbs-Minor · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Delightful. Entertaining. I could not put it down. Well written.

[jenifer gigliotti · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

It was wonderful for a continuation of the characters created by Jane Austin
