Jane Austen
The provincial Bennet family, home to five unmarried daughters, is turned upside down when a wealthy bachelor takes up a house nearby. Mr. Bingley enhances his instant popularity by hosting a ball and taking an interest in the eldest Bennet daughter, Jane. Meanwhile, Mr. Darcy, Bingley’s even wealthier friend, makes himself equally unpopular by his aloof disdain of country manners. Yet he is drawn, in spite of himself, to the spirited and intelligent Elizabeth Bennet, who proves to be his match in both wit and pride. Their sparkling repartee is a splendid performance of civilized sparring infused with unacknowledged romantic tension.
Pride and Prejudice delightfully captures the affectations and rivalries of class-conscious English families in an age when status and security for women hung entirely on matrimonial ambitions. Austen’s characters dance a delicate quadrille of flirtation and intrigue, making this book the most superb comedy of manners of Regency England. It is also the source of some of the most memorable characters ever written, from the fatuous Mr. Collins, whose proposal to Elizabeth is one of the finest comic passages in English literature, to the beloved heroine Elizabeth, whom the author herself deemed “as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print.”

If you could sum up Pride and Prejudice in three words, what would they be?
Classic and addictive. You won't listen once, you'll want to put this on repeat.What did you like best about this story?
Delightful writing and characters make this story a joy to re-read.Have you listened to any of Carolyn Seymour’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, but I would based on this performance.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Every other audiobook edition of this book is dreadful, either shrill or absolutely flat. This one managed to give each character their own inflection without any character being intolerable or boring, even the "dreaded" Mrs. Bennet.Delightful narrator brings the story alive
