Well written
I think this book has an obvious purpose. It was written well and gave enough insight into regency life Jane style.

Regency social history for Austen/ Heyer fans
Why is anything connected to Jane Austen read with such a plum voice? it's just not necessary and grates. Although this isn't an Austen novel, it does contain excerpts and it would be so refreshing to hear them read with a Hampshire burr.
As for content, this provides lots of information, easily digested. Facts are related to the novels to add further insight into settings, characters' motives and actions
