    About this audiobook

    If you're a Jane Austen fan, you'll enjoy Emily Eden's comic novels of manners, The Semi-Detached House (1859) and The Semi-Attached Couple (1860). At the opening of The Semi-Detached House, the beautiful (but rather petulant) Lady Blanche Chester, newly married and pregnant, is being installed in a suburban house while her husband is away. Her encounters with her neighbors, and the intrigues of the neighborhood, soon come to absorb and annoy her. (Summary by Elizabeth Klett)

    Emily Eden

    Emily Eden (1797–1869) was an English author and poet. The daughter of a baron, she traveled to India as a young girl and later published a collection of letters from her time there. Her two novels, often favorably compared to the works of Jane Austen, are The Semi-Attached Couple and The Semi-Detached House.
