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 This audiobook introduces the real Gentleman Jack, featuring unpublished journal extracts decrypted for the first time by series creator Sally Wainwright and writer Anne Choma.

Absorbing, enlightening and engagingly read!
Absolutely loved it. By turns funny, moving and eyebrow-raising, it was a delightful introduction to the world of AL. What a bad-ass she was. I'd love to have met her.

Indeed a perfect companion to a perfect TV show!
Every detail that I wondered about the reality behind this great BBC production are insightfully provided with particular quotes from Anne Lister's diaries. And above all, the period dealt with in Anne Lister's life here was not previously covered with the two volume of diaries by Helena Whitbread, previously published.

This is the second time I’ve listened to this in a space of 12 months I rate it as one of my top 10 listens………..
You must listen to this title. It is unreal yet so true to life. I’m eagerly awaiting another book similar to be done as I’m struggling to find more like this. I was gripped from the very start and binge listened in 48 hours. I enjoyed it even the second time round that little bit more. Fantastic performances and narrator. Everything suited the book. I live in one of the main places it was centered around and studied Ann lister at school so this meant so much more to me than just a book. Wish I could reward ten stars and not just five. Keeping this for my ever growing collections.

Cast?
I thought the voice of Erin Shanagher sounded too young and feminine for Anne Lister - it has been said she had a deep voice.
Otherwise, a wonderful book

Perfect while you're waiting for S2
As promised goes into more detail about Anne's extraordinary life. Personally I didn't feel that the voice used for Anne was quite, but that in no way makes the story any less remarkable and enjoyable.
