Publisher Description
This is Austen's first published novel, from 1851, which she wrote under the pseudonym "A Lady". The story is about Elinor and Marianne, two daughters of Mr. Dashwood by his second wife. They have a younger sister, Margaret, and an older half-brother named John. When their father dies, the family estate passes to John, and the Dashwood women are left in reduced circumstances.
The novel follows the Dashwood sisters to their new home, a cottage on a distant relative's property, where they experience both romance and heartbreak. The contrast between the sister's characters is eventually resolved as they each find love and lasting happiness. Through the events in the novel, Elinor and Marianne encounter the sense and sensibility of life and love.
Customer Reviews
amazing value
narrator's voice is a little monotone sometimes, but all in all an amazing price for a classic story to keep me going on long train journeys.
Cringe
Great story, terrible vocal. Constant use of US British pronunciation makes it hard to listen to and the terrible attempts at upper class English are cringeworthy. Better efforts are available. Very disappointed, gave up after chapter 20 in V1.
Awful
I’m not sure if this is a real person but 30 seconds was enough to tell me that I cannot listen to this. Serves me right for not listening to the preview.
