About this listen

Many consider this rich social commentary to be Jane Austen's finest novel. It is certainly among her more famous ones. Austen sets her entertaining study of manners and misconceptions against the backdrop of a class-conscious society in 18th century England.

Spirited, intelligent Elizabeth Bennett is alternately enchanted and affronted by Mr. Darcy. She is quick to suspend her usual, more rational judgment when it comes to him. She also is quick to believe the worst gossip about this haughty, opinionated man who soon manages to alienate Elizabeth and her family. But is the condescending air that Mr. Darcy wears an indication of his real character? Or has Elizabeth's pride gotten in the way of her chance for true romance?

Editorial reviews

Pride and Prejudice is an acclaimed work of literature, and one of Austen's most beloved novels. The story examines the manners of 19th-century British society by exposing the fortunes and misfortunes of the Bennett family. The family's main concern is marriage; Mrs. Bennett wishes to secure favorable unions for her five daughters. The story revolves around Elizabeth Bennett, whose pride prevents her from following her heart.

Flo Gibson's voice is enchanting and warm, making the listening experience indisputably pleasant. Gibson's British accent adds character to the performance, rendering it unforgettable.

Love the voicing

The voicing for this book is amazing. I can just see the A And E movie as she reads the book. Such a joy to hear.

Love Flo Gibson!

Would you listen to Pride and Prejudice again? Why?

Yes, of course. I've read it twice, and listened to it twice now. Flo Gibson, though is my favorite reader of Austen's works. I love her voice.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Pride and Prejudice?

I love when Lizzy rejects Mr. Collins and he just doesn't get it. It's awkward in the book, as it is in the movie (Keira Knightley version).

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It's a bit long for just one sit through, but a couple to a few days is great. I love Jane Austen's books. Period romances/dramas are one of my favorite genres.

Wonderful

Would you listen to Pride and Prejudice again? Why?

I would listen to this once a year! I was inspired to reread my favorite story after watching the webseries "The Lizzie Bennet Diaries" and found this recording delightful!

What does Flo Gibson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Her British accent helps you get into the time and place of Regency England.

Flo is forever

P&P is my all-time favorite book and Flo Gibson makes it absolutely magical. It took a bit to get used to her voice but she’s now one of my favorite voices. Every listen brings a new joke that I hadn’t caught before and her inflections breathe new life into this classic.

Powerful Jane

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I listen to several Pride and Prejudice books. Flo Gibson interpets the characters very well.

What did you like best about this story?

The visit to Premberly was always the best part of the book.

Which character – as performed by Flo Gibson – was your favorite?

Mrs. Bennet, is my favorite character, her nerves is my second favorite.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Jane realized, Bingley's sisters did not like her or her family.

Any additional comments?

I first read Pride and Prejudice when I fourteen. Jane Austen was boring and knew nothing about women's right. After I turned 21, I began to appreciate her novels and her fight for women Lizzie, was her mouthpiece for 19th century. Now at the age of 63, Mrs. Bennet became my favorite because she controls the story; despite her crying and fainting spells, her daughters married. Of all the novels written by Jane, Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion are my favorites.

Too fast

Any additional comments?

The narrator read a little too fast for my comprehension. I would be looking for a slightly slower narrator.
