Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
This Penguin Classic is performed by Nicola Coughlan, known for her starring roles as Clare Devlin in Derry Girls and Penelope Featherington in Bridgerton. This definitive recording includes an introduction by Ros Ballaster.
Jane Austen's subtle and witty novel of secrets and suppression, lies and seduction, brilliantly portrays a world where rigid social convention clashes with the impulses of the heart. It tells the story of two very different sisters who find themselves thrown into an unkind world when their father dies. Marianne, wild and impulsive, falls dangerously in love, while Elinor suffers her own private heartbreak but conceals her true feelings, even from those closest to her.
'Nicola Coughlan brings new life and nuance to Austen’s story of poverty-stricken sisters' The Guardian

An Irish narrator for Jane Austen???????
Who on earth thought it would be a good idea to have an Irish narrator for an English novel??????? The constant switch between the narrator’s natural accent when reading the non-dialogue sections of the text and her use of an English accent when reading dialogue is INCREDIBLY distracting, especially given that the only reason I’m getting this audiobook in the first place is for an English Literature course. Absolutely fair enough to use Irish narrators for James Joyce etc, etc, etc, but NOT for Jane Austen (or any other non-Irish author’s works.)
I’d give my score for Performance Zero stars, except a minimum of one star in each category is needed for a review to be posted. 😞
