What to expect
In Persuasion, Jane Austen’s last novel, she reveals the tale of love and marriage told with irony, insight, and an evaluation of human conduct. The characters, Captain Wentworth and Anne Elliot, have met and separated years before. A reunion forces the recognition of the false values that drove them apart.
Critics Review
“Persuasion is perfectly rendered in polished, English diction by Scacchi… with subtle, sympathetic tones, allowing us to experience the wonderful written language. Descriptions of an English seaside town provide the backdrop for this love story. Altogether, the audio experience is superb! Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”
“Even those who have read Austen’s novels will find themselves loving this book all over again.”
“As always, Austen’s storytelling is so confident, you can’t help but allow yourself to be taken on the enjoyable journey.”
