Impeccably read and in my option, the finest of all Jane Austen’s novels. Romantic perfection!

I really enjoyed it. Narrated perfectly, it was easy to sink into.
It’s the most recent to have been given the movie makeover treatment. The book is much more detailed than the movie. Really enjoying my journey through Austen’s romcom world.

Delightful.

excellent performance! highly recommended. it's interesting after seeing so many films of Austin's works, what is left out, condensed or even added to in places. wish I'd found audible books years ago!

thoroughly enjoyable!

This was beautifully read. It’s one if my favourites if JA. Love lost and found. Gentle fun poked at the wily manipulations in families, and aspirations of vanity.

A gentle exposure of the workings of the human mind and heart

Nothing to dislike! Greta’s reading was perfect and Persuasion is witty and gently funny with many razor-sharp observations of ‘polite’ society

Brilliant rendition of a classic novel

Slightly too fast in places but true to the spirit of the book. Enjoyable even though I know the story by heart!
