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.

I've never heard "oblige" pronounced this way and never realized how often Ms. Austen used the word! It almost became comical.

Strange pronunciation of certain words

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."

A classic, marred by mediocre performance.

I love Jane Austen and her books. I dislike Mary Sarah as a narrator and her weird/fake??? off and on accent.

I loved the reading by Mary Sarah. Her voice carried the story in a way that made me feel the emotion of the characters. Mary Sarah's voice in the reading of Persuasion is an art. Thank you for a most delightful time and I will be looking for more Audible books read by Mary Sarah. As for Jane Austen's Persuasion- the stumbles of love and courtship- do not pass this book up. It is worth reading. The story will stay with you long after...

Fantastic Listening!
