Oh yeah, it was great!During the first lock-down, I think

During the first lock-down, I think"
Yes, I think so based on the dates. I missed it so now I'm listening through for the first time. Such a blast. :)

Thank you so much for peeking out and finding this for us under rock dwellers! OMG I want her glasses!"
Yes!! So retro with their octagonal shape.
I think she looks like Meryl Streep. Does anyone else think so? She's a bit soft spoken, but since I know the story pretty well, I can still listen to this. I've listened to the first two parts, but decided I need to wait until my kids are in school so that it's quieter - so I can hear it better.Also, this is trivial, but I'm pretty curious about her natural hair color. Does anyone know? I don't have a guess at all.
Mod
Yes, I can see the Meryl Streep resemblance. LOL, no, I've seen her with too many hair colors to hazard a guess.
From pics I have seen of the cast, she does seem to have really light brown to blond hair. Perhaps not as blond as it is now.
Audible is having a BIG Sale !!I picked up a few that have been on my wish list for a while. Yay!
Mod
Aha, thanks Sam! And, thanks for the heads up about the sale. :)
I think she was only 21 or 22 yrs old at the time of filming

Thank you to Kasia for the idea to have a place here in our group to discuss great audiobooks and narrators for Austenesque Lovers.
Feel free to announce new JAFF/Austenesque audiobook releases, favorite narrators or books on audio or audiobook giveaways here under the topic.
UPDATE: Thank you, Julieta for reminding me that we have the wonderful world of podcasts that are out there to add to our store of audiobook recs. Talk those up here as well.
