Emily 75 Years young

Sister of the Governor-General George Eden, Emily was a frank admirer of Jane Austen, to the extent many found similarities in their works. There have been instances when Emily would commence writing as soon as Jane would end her novel. Her literary skills went into relative obscurity , probably after her brother's death. The "Semi Attached Couple" was her masterpiece.

The Semi-Attached Couple Emily EDEN (1797 - 1869) Young and beautiful Helen Eskdale and fabulously wealthy Lord Teviot seem to be the perfect match. But when they marry, they find that misunderstandings and jealousies continually drive them apart. The machinations and intrigues of a large supporting cast surround the central question of whether their marriage will survive. Emily Eden's comedy of manners is reminiscient of Jane Austen's witty and ironic novels. Listen to the Librivox audio book: http://bit.ly/1ucPO5R
