This is Jane Austen's lighthearted lesson in what you get for reading too many gothic novels. It is a mark of the astonishing talent of the woman, however, that even a flippant swipe at the trashy reading of the day turned out to be an elegant if extremely funny classic. Catherine Morland is another one of those Austen girls who, in spite of her gloriously ironic portrait as a romantic heroine in training, ends up being someone whose story you'd follow to the end of the world, or at least until the end of the book.

Hailed as Charlotte Brontë’s “finest novel” by Virginia Woolf, Villette is the timeless semi-autobiographical tale of Lucy Snowe. Left with no family and no money, Lucy goes against her own timid nature and travels to the small city of Villette, France, where she becomes a school teacher in Madame Beck’s school for girls. During her stay, she falls in love—twice—and discovers an independent, inner strength rarely seen in women of her time.

A Room of One's Own, based on a lecture given at Girton College Cambridge, is one of the great feminist polemics. Woolf's blazing polemic on female creativity, the role of the writer, and the silent fate of Shakespeare's imaginary sister remains a powerful reminder of a woman's need for financial independence and intellectual freedom.

Lady Susan has just arrived uninvited at the country home of her brother-in-law, Charles, and his unwelcoming wife, Catherine. Susan’s reputation as an accomplished coquette precedes her, and Catherine will not allow her own brother, Reginald, to fall prey to Susan’s amorous games. Despite warnings, the besotted young man finds himself falling - all to the conniving lady’s delight. And in Austen’s unfinished work, The Watsons, a family reunion sparks the passionate pursuits of four sisters.

Jane Austen's Persuasion read by Elizabeth Klett
I love the way Ms Klett brings to life the characters. Her voice perfectly conveys to us the irony of Austen's narrative and the character's individual personalities are distinct and easy to follow.
I recommend this reading of Persuasion to my fellow Austen lovers!

Persuasion
I have been a fan of Jane Austen since high school, and Persuasion has been a book I've read repeated. I'm also a fan of Elizabeth Klett, whom I first discovered while using Librivox, a website dedicated to free read-aloud renditions of books no longer under copyright. I have downloaded numerous Elizabeth Klett narrated audiobooks via Librivox for several years, and I've listened to them while driving to Louisiana from Texas and vice versa. My experience with Persuasion was no different, I listened to it in the school pick-up line, while jogging, at night before bed, and whenever I found myself with a free mental moment to finish devouring this story. I could not stop listening.
Elizabeth is a compelling reader, she highlighted the story in ways that I had missed in my previous readings. The characters came to life, each with their own eccentricities, and at long last, mature, unwavering love and patience was well-rewarded. Being married now for 17 years, these are sentiments I cannot help but appreciate.
When Elizabeth offered this book on her Facebook fan page, I jumped at the opportunity to listen and leave a review. I was not disappointed, and you won't be either.

Annoying chapter intro music
I nearly returned this copy of the audiobook, not because of the story or the narrator, but because I got quickly annoyed at the music the company decided to add to the beginning and end of each chapter. The same small snippet of music was used both to begin and end the chapters, often almost cutting off the narrator as she finished speaking.
I did enjoy the book, though I will think twice before buying something by this publisher again.

Loved this version!
I loved Elizabeth Klett’s narration of Persuasion. I am extremely picky when it comes to voice and style, and Klett really hit the mark. The only reason I deducted a star was because I found the intro and outro music for each chapter to be annoying after a while.
