Persuasion (version 5) by Jane Austen (1775 - 1817)
Persuasion is a regency Cinderella-esque tale of a young woman, the beautiful Anne Elliot, who is persuaded from marrying the Naval officer of her heart. It is now almost nine years since she rejected him. Bonaparte has abdicated and England's sailors return home covered in glory. Fredrick Wentworth is now a rich and highly eligible sea captain and the two are curiously thrown together. Will their forgotten affection blossom anew? Or has the captain found another?

The narrator breathes life to this classic novel. I highly recommend this audiobook/podcast

Generally a very nice reading of one of my favorite books but it was jolting to have several words mispronounced, including the correct pronunciation of Captain Benwick’s last name. Does no one at Libra Vox review these recordings?
