About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

This Penguin Classic is performed by Tanya Reynolds, star of Sex Education. This definitive recording includes an introduction by Fiona Stafford.

With its imperfect but charming heroine and its witty and subtle exploration of relationships, Emma is often seen as Jane Austen's most flawless work. Beautiful, clever, rich-and single-Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage. Nothing, however, delights her more than interfering in the romantic lives of others. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr. Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protégée Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected.

It's a wonderful narration by Tanya Reynolds, "Mrs E." I was listening to this after watching the movie, and it all sounded very familiar. It's a real gem.

And I love this reading of it. Unadorned and fluent in style, really maximising the beauty of the language, its humour and its humanity. These Penguin versions are brilliant.

Obviously I love this book
