Publisher's Summary

"His perfect indifference, and your pointed dislike, make it so delightfully absurd!"

Pride and Prejudice has delighted generations of readers with its unforgettable cast of characters, carefully choreographed plot, and a hugely entertaining view of the world and its absurdities. With the arrival of eligible young men in their neighbourhood, the lives of Mr and Mrs Bennet and their five daughters are turned inside out and upside down. Pride encounters prejudice, upward-mobility confronts social disdain, and quick-wittedness challenges sagacity, as misconceptions and hasty judgements lead to heartache and scandal, but eventually to true understanding, self-knowledge, and love. In this supremely satisfying story, Jane Austen balances comedy with seriousness, and witty observation with profound insight. If Elizabeth Bennet returns again and again to her letter from Mr Darcy, readers of the novel are drawn even more irresistibly by its captivating wisdom.

Great book, great narrator.

I'm so glad that I chose this narration for my favourite novel - I've already listened to it numerous times.

One tiny thing... I can't get used to hearing Lady Catharine's surname being pronounced "de-borg," after decades of knowing it to be pronounced "de-berg" LOL!

An Enjoyable Encounter with a Classic

I greatly enjoyed following the romantic encounters of the Bennett girls, and their associates in this book. It was a very engaging story delightfully expressed in 19th century language and expectations of society.
Jane Austin’s English expression of the period was delightful.
I was keen to read a classic of the period and was more than satisfied with it.
The narration was also excellent but would have liked a slightly greater contrast between the voices of Darcy and Elizabeth.

This is such a gorgeous story.

A little disappointed with the quality of the playback initially but it was read so well that after a while I forgot about it.
