About this listen
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Gentleman Jack, by Anne Lister, Anne Choma and Sally Wainwright, read by Eva Pope and Erin Shanagher.
'There are more ways than one of being happy...I am living proof of this.'
Anne Lister was remarkable. Fearless, charismatic and determined to explore her lesbian sexuality, she forged her own path in a society that had no language to define her. She was a landowner, an industrialist and a prolific diarist whose output has secured her legacy as one of the most fascinating figures of the 19th century.
Gentleman Jack: The Real Anne Lister follows Anne from her crumbling ancestral home in Yorkshire to the glittering courts of Denmark as she resolves to put past heartbreak behind her and find herself a wife. This audiobook introduces the real Gentleman Jack, featuring unpublished journal extracts decrypted for the first time by series creator Sally Wainwright and writer Anne Choma.

This helped to fill in a lot of Anne’s story after having watched Gentleman Jack the TV series. Very well done!

Let down by one of the narrators
I loved the series and I was really looking forward to this. The story is well written and the main narrator is excellent but, for me, the other narrator, who reads the excerpts from the diaries, lets it down. She has the wrong voice for the character of Anne Lister. I find her difficult to listen to because I can't identity with her as Anne Lister at all. I think it would have been better to have the main narrator narrate the whole audio book.
