multiple narrators voicing chara, mostly well done
i enjoyed the adaptation. I think this might be my favourite of Austin's stories. The background piano or conversation in some places added to the ambience of the stort telling

Brilliant Narration
Absolutely excellent version! Florence Pugh is the best narrator of Austen that I have heard. I have loved reading and watching this story, but this has been my favourite experience by far.

I love this story!
I really love this book and enjoyed this interpretation, however I think it's misleading to imply that this is mainly performed by Florence Pugh.
Most of the story was performed by different voice actors playing their parts, with Florence narrating in between. This was definitely more of a group performance, and Florence didn't even perform the main largest part (let alone the character of Anne)!

Disappointing narration
Fine Jane Austen story with good character voices but audience enjoyment diminished by monotone narration. Annoying musical interludes between chapters.

Made for a nice change to listen to
Was nice to hear that different character voices were from different people rather than just hearing one person trying to be different characters
