The Highbrarians

Episode 17: Longbourn


Listen Later

Welcome to the Highbrary. We are your Highbrarians. Today we cover “Longbourn” by Jo Baker. The events of this novel take place alongside the events in Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice”, a story that is very dear to one of our hearts. So much so that our ratings were VASTLY different. A book has never divided us so. Indy doesn't seem to understand that the Bennetts rule absolutely nothing in this universe and Annie lets her live in her ignorance. We still have a great romp through the Highbrary discussing our respective work dramas, the audacity of white people(a common theme at this point) and of course, our favorite man Mr Zac Efron. As always, we'd love for you to join us. Love, Indy and Annie
