Emma (version 5) by Jane Austen (1775 - 1817)
A cautionary tale about the evils of interference, matchmaking and good intentions turned awry, Emma is the study of a young woman raised without sufficient discipline or occupation. Handsome, clever and rich, Emma is the epitome of what a young woman should be in Regency England, except for the fact that her indulgent father and lack of a mother have left her spoiled and used to getting her own way. Emma's only true critic and voice of reason is Mr. Knightley, a gentleman whose opinion she values greatly. She delights in meddling in the romantic affairs of everyone around her, thinking celibacy is a privilege she alone can enjoy by virtue of her social standing. In the end, Emma is forced to acknowledge both her own lack of insight into the motives of others, and admit her need for a companion who can challenge her to become a better woman. (Summary by Moira Fogarty)

Clear tone and excellent reading of Emma. I listened to this to help me get through the remainder of this novel when I felt it was dragging.

Checked out a few other podcast readings of Emma. Settled on this one. It’s by far the best.

This is a wonderful version. The obvious Canadian accent is fun but also very clear and authentic. It sounds very professional and I'm thankful for the free listen.
