Strange pronunciation of certain words

I've never heard "oblige" pronounced this way and never realized how often Ms. Austen used the word! It almost became comical.

A classic, marred by mediocre performance.

This is one of Jane Austen's best stories. However, M. Sarah should have read it a couple times before recording it, or at least watched the movie. Then, she might have some idea how the people of that era spoke. Some of her pronunciations were off, and her timing was terrible. She even said Mrs. Smith was the "eldest" of Capt. and Mrs. W's visitors, when the book says "earliest."

Like book, really don’t like narrator

I love Jane Austen and her books. I dislike Mary Sarah as a narrator and her weird/fake??? off and on accent.

Patient love

Loved it! Great story and wonderful expression of love. I highly recommend it for everyone

Interesting period piece

A fascinating look into the mores and customs of dating and finding a marriage partner in the 19th Century. Extremely beautifully written

One of Jane Austen's Best

Wonderful Story. In my opinion, one of Austen's Best !! Still haven't found the right narrator for Jane Austen.

Jane Austens best book.

I'm not a huge Austen fan. however this lovely and well. Written tale is worth a read

Fantastic Listening!

I loved the reading by Mary Sarah. Her voice carried the story in a way that made me feel the emotion of the characters. Mary Sarah's voice in the reading of Persuasion is an art. Thank you for a most delightful time and I will be looking for more Audible books read by Mary Sarah. As for Jane Austen's Persuasion- the stumbles of love and courtship- do not pass this book up. It is worth reading. The story will stay with you long after...

I love Jane Austen

I had to read this in college and this surpassed all other Austen novels. I could read this over and over

persuasion

Loved it! Finally understand what the film didn't make clear. Im grateful for this service.
