About this listen

As the Napoleonic Wars come to an end in 1814, admirals and captains of the Royal Navy are put ashore, their work done. Anne Elliot meets Captain Frederick Wentworth after seven years, by the chance of his sister and brother-in-law renting her father's estate, while she stays for a few months with her married sister, living nearby. They fell in love the first time, but she broke off the engagement.

An enjoyable story if more grown women than in Austens other books.

This narrator is my current favorite, though as I’m Australian I can’t tell how accurate her accent is. She gives enough difference for each character that it’s easy to tell who’s talking, while not sounding ridiculous.

Lovely listening
