Self-Control: A Novel


Read by LibriVox Volunteers

(4.5 stars; 2 reviews)

The author: "This little tale was begun at first merely for my own amusement. It is published that I may reconcile my conscience to the time which it has employed, by making it in some degree useful. Let not the term so implied provoke a smile! If my book is read, its uses to the author are obvious. Nor is a work of fiction necessarily unprofitable to the readers."

Jane Austen comments about this novel in a letter to her sister: “I am looking over Self Control again, & my opinion is confirmed of its’ being an excellently-meant, elegantly-written Work…”  - Summary by Author and Jane Austen (18 hr 13 min)

Amazing Hidden Treasure


(5 stars)

Great book, lots of twists and turns. I read it because it was a favourite of Jane Austen's .. this is a new "old" author to be enjoyed
