Summary
Jane Austen's most popular novel, originally published in 1813, some 17 years after it was first written, presents the Bennet family of Longbourn. Against the background of gossipy Mrs. Bennet and the detached Mr. Bennet, the quest is on for husbands for the five daughters. The spotlight falls on Elizabeth, second eldest, who is courted by Darcy, though initially she is more concerned with the fate of her other sisters.

History brought to life.
The narration by Emilia Fox is outstanding, it was difficult to stop listening. I will have to listen many times.

Pride and Prejudice
It has been quite a while since reading this novel. I love listening and getting lost in the story. I have completely forgotten the period dramas which can never do the characters justice.
Emilia Fox is a wonderful narrator.

Five Star Story...
Would you listen to Pride and Prejudice again? Why?
Yes! It is simply one of my favourite books.
What did you like best about this story?
As well as a happy ending arrived via an interesting route, the characters are wonderful. Most of the protagonists are extreme - very good, very wicked, hysterical, laconic - it's a wonderful commentary on life in Jane Austen's time, but also relevant to today in many ways.
What about Emilia Fox’s performance did you like?
I have to say, I have been a bit disappointed with Emilia Fox's performance. I partly chose this edition because she was in the famous BBC adaption, where every character was bought to life splendidly, but some of her reading seems lacklustre. She does seem to 'warm up' by the end - Mrs Benet assumes some of the hilarious hysteria that Amanda Steadman brought to her - but for much of the book, it is rather pallid reading. However, it is clear, articulate and of course, the words that she reads are superb.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
I wouldn't make a film of this, I'd just say "Get the 1995 BBC adaption!"

beautifully rendered
I won't sport with anyone's intelligence by critiquing Jane Austen but Emilia Fox's delivery is outstanding.

A classic
Out of all the adaptations, this is the easiest to listen to..
Beautifully narrated and voiced, characterisation and humour gently interpreted. I can only thinkMs. Austen would be happy with this narration.

I love this novel. Emilia Fox was an amazing narrator. An opportunity to lose myself for a while. Wonderful.
