Lovely reading by Greta Scacchi
I haven't read any Jane Austen for many years, and really enjoyed becoming reacquainted with her writing again. Gretta Scacchi's narration was very nice. She has a lovely soothing voice. This has definitely encouraged me to try other Austen works on Audible.

A gem of a find!
Austen at her best in this romantic tale of manners, decorum and society - I loved it! Highly recommend.

I mean what’s to say, it’s Austen.
Persuasion is one of my favourite Austen works, this is a solid version. The narration is good, there are couple of idly long pauses but apart from that I have no criticism.
If you’re new to Austen then I have no doubt that you will love this particular book. It is one of her most mature and yet most heartfelt novels with a heroine that you can’t help but adore.

Touching, poignant love story with a wry humour
I listen to it over and over again, my personal favourite Austen novel.
Still has some relevant lessons for today.
Also read very well!

Beautiful.
I have always loved Jane Austen's novels.
This particular novel is my favourite and the lady reading it has done it justice.

Very slow reading with strange, long pauses throughout.
Although the voice actor has a nice voice, she reads too slowly and there are long pauses continually that are far too drawn out to fit the flow of the narrative. Very strange. Very good story in the usual Austen style.

Favourite Austen novel
I think this is one of her best novels. The narration is really good and so easy to listen to.
