About this listen

 Persuasion is a tale of love and marriage, told with the irony and insight that sets Jane Austen's work apart. Anne Elliot and Captain Wentworth have met and separated years before. The story of how their reunion forces a recognition of the false values and people that drove them apart gives Persuasion its enduring power.(P)1995 Hodder and Stoughton Audiobooks Classics Fiction Genre Fiction Historical Historical Fiction Literary Fiction Regency Regency Romance Romance

Critic Reviews

"[An] exquisite touch which renders ordinary commonplace things and characters interesting." (Sir Walter Scott, on Jane Austen)

missing senses and flavours of the story through abridging. Good performance but disappointing not to be the full story.
