About this listen

 Persuasion, Jane Austen's last novel, is a tale of love and marriage told with irony and insight. Anne Elliot and Captain Wentworth have met and seperated years before. Their reunion, after the passage or irrecoverable years of their youth, forces a recognition of the false values that drove them apart.First published 1818.

A lovely story focused on characters (especially Anne) and their lives, foibles, and desires, set in England past with it’s well defined rules of etiquette, society and custom.

Scacchi reads it perfectly with great effort at distinguishing voices.

The only slight annoyance is that this version for some reason has the occasional long pause. Don’t know if it’s in the narration or recording.

Excellent narration by Scacchi

The wonderful Jane Austen, appreciated even more at my more advanced stage of life, the novelist who established the right to be given adulation for the last two centuries.

How could one give fewer than 5 stars?

There never was or could be a more perfect book. Greta Scacchi’s deep, melodious voice is the cherry on top.
