A moving love story displaying all of Austen's signature wit and ironic narrative style. Persuasion is Jane Austen's last completed novel. She began it soon after she had finished Emma, completing it in August 1816.

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
