Audible has versions of classic books available for free, but finding them can be a huge challenge. If you are lucky, they are in the top 100 free audiobooks list. Otherwise, you need to search it up on Audible. Searching is almost impossible, as everything will say "free with trial". And in the case of this one, it even showed a price for the free one.
I have trouble with Jane Austen. I listen to the book. I understand what is being said. I even grasp individual episodes. It just does not congeal together in my brain as a narrative. There are people. They talk about things. They have conversations about what it would be like to have a lot of money. They are concerned with what other people think of them. It ends.
Wikipedia states that the novel "follows the three Dashwood sisters and their widowed mother as they are forced to leave the family estate in Sussex and move to a modest cottage on the property of distant relative in Devon. There the two eldest girls experience love and heartbreak that tries the contrasting characters of both." That sounds good enough to me.
