good info

We in the USA could really benefit from revisiting the concepts in this book, particularly the value in smoothing interactions in order to make life more pleasant for all.

A great book

A wonderful book on etiquette that I found to be developmental and maturative for a young man coming of age like myself. I further highly recommend this book.

Insightful text, pleasant narrator

The narrator is English which does juxtapose the author’s intended audience of this book on Americanized etiquette. However, it seems a superficial critique to criticize the dialect of the narrator for not matching the intended audience of the subject material. Her performance is pleasant to the ear, it is not overly dramatic in some distracting way nor does she recite the words in a dull fashion. This was much appreciated by the 20 hour mark.

Will they read Tom Sawyer in a British accent too?

I was so excited to see Emily Post on Audible as I've been looking for an audiobook version for a long time. When I began listening, my heart immediately sank. The narrator has a posh British accent - which would be lovely for reading Pride and Prejudice but is so wrong for this quintessentially American book. Emily Post's etiquette is American etiquette, distinct from British etiquette now as much as in 1922, when the book was originally published. This reminds me of American restaurants that use "ou" spelling ("flavour" and "colour") on their menus to sound fancier--simultaneously pretentious and incorrect. Emily Post's etiquette is known for being unpretentious and wholly American--the decision to read Emily Post in a British accent was made by someone who thoroughly misunderstands the author's work.
