A great combination of cast and narration

I really liked how this came together. The full cast parts were well done and the narrated parts moved the story along nicely.

Loved the full cast

I wish more books were able to be produced like this one. It made understanding who was speaking so much easier, especially with the Victorian language.
Though I know there was a happy ending, the whole circumstance of the primary characters was very sad, making the ending perhaps bittersweet.

Love love love

I loved everything about this story. The pettiness of several characters drove me crazy in a laugh outloud sort of way. It's like they say everything out loud that should be kept to oneself. Meanwhile, Ann Elliott's kindness, genuineness and voice warmed my heart. Love and loyalty weave together some of the friends and families beautifully. Others serve as examples of what not to do or become.

Loved it

I loved it. i just found my genre - dramatization of classics. It is more like listening to a play - not just a book reading.

I’d like to know who was behind each of the voices, especially Mary.

Bought by mistake

This book was delightful I thought I was at a play in a theatre I enjoyed it
