Story5 out of 5 stars 4
Jane Austen’s most popular novel, originally published in 1813, some 17 years after it was first written, presents the Bennet family of Longbourn. Against the background of gossipy Mrs. Bennet and the detached Mr. Bennet, the quest is on for husbands for the five daughters. The spotlight falls on Elizabeth, second eldest, who is courted by Mr. Darcy, though initially she is more concerned with the fate of her other sisters. This marvelous account of family life in Regency England is read with customary panache by Juliet Stevenson.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 145
Dorothea Brooke is an ardent idealist who represses her vivacity and intelligence for the cold, theological pedant Casaubon. One man understands her true nature: the artist Will Ladislaw. But how can love triumph against her sense of duty and Casaubon’s mean spirit? Meanwhile, in the little world of Middlemarch, the broader world is mirrored: the world of politics, social change, and reforms, as well as betrayal, greed, blackmail, ambition, and disappointment.

Queen Juliet
Juliet Stevenson is a perfect Austen reader. The story comes alive with her voice, and it's already such a great story that this really shines. #Audible1

Persuaded by Juliet Stevenson to enjoy audible
Just loved the way Juliet Stevenson narrated my favourite Jane Austen novel. Each character came alive. I especially liked the way Miss Stevenson narrated Mary Musgrove; I felt I was at Uppercross. And Anne Elliot and Captain Wentworth calm alive as I walked with them through Milsom Street to the Gravel. On the whole a very enjoyable experience.

Persuasion Jane Austen
Juliet Stevenson is my favourite Austin narrator by far and Persuasion is my favourite of her books detailing country life in the early 18th century.

exceptional narration
exceptional narration and lively characterization ! Juliet Stevenson was a wonderful narrator who brought my favorite jane austen novel and charaters alive with all the wit, vivacity and creativty of a talented actress of stage and film. i am recalled to her wonderful and witty acting performance in jane austens 1996 adaptaion of emma! she was an unforgetable character for me in that film and brought her exceptional acting skills to bare in her creative and colourful naration here! i Hope you enjoy !

Impossible to follow in audio while multi-tasking
You are better off buying the book and reading it.
Very difficult to follow while doing other chores. Requires 100% focus and attention in order to properly enjoy and follow what is happening.
