Worth it

Just stay with this story...with out a doubt one of the best novels I've read

Juliet Stevenson does it again!

This one requires some persistence in spots, but Ms. Stevenson makes it such a joy to listen to!

Another superb performance by Juliet Stevenson

This is not an easy novel, but Juliet Stevenson performs it with rare sensitivity and skill. She is my favorite Audible narrator.

George Eliot,

What a brilliantly sensitive writer, so in touch with the innermost thoughts and emotions of her fellow humans.
The narrator did a great job of conveying the emotions of the characters.
Job well done.

Stunningly absorbing

Magnificent writing, compelling richly psychologically sophisticated and fascinating treatment of Jews and Zionism. Reader has beautiful intonation for different characters

This is a great book read incredibly beautifully with great vocal characterizations and accents. I found it hard to get into at first but it’s worth hanging in there. George Eliot is both philosophically and psychologically profound and also creates compelling plot twists that draw you in.

A Long, Intricate, Elegant, Sophisticated Story

Daniel Doronda is the final traditional novel of George Eliot. It is very lengthy and quite sophisticated. It is Classic Victorian in style and will not appeal to every modern listener. I read this story on Kindle while listening and I am very glad that I did so. The writing, at times, is so intricate that I had to reread and re listen to numerous passages or many nuances would have been lost on me. I completely love George Eliot, but this is definitely the "deep end of the pool". Thank You...

Listen to this book

The narrator is one of best multi voice narrators. How she does it I will never understand. So many characters, each with their own perfect distinct voice.

Additionally, this book should be required reading. It was Eliot's last and after Silas Marner, it's her best, in my humble opinion I didn't want it to end EVER!

Beautiful

At first I thought I didn’t like the story and that it was moving too slowly but it was engaging and I was sad when it finished. Great Narration!!

An eternal classic.

As fresh and insightful about the human condition as ever. Two intertwined narratives about two young people searching for meaning and identity. Perfectly performed. A pleasure.
