About this listen

 When Mrs. Dashwood is forced by an avaricious daughter-in-law to leave the family home in Sussex, she takes her three daughters to live in a modest cottage in Devon. For Elinor, the eldest daughter, the move means a painful separation from the man she loves, but her sister Marianne finds in Devon the romance and excitement which she longs for. The contrasting fortunes and temperaments of the two girls as they struggle to cope in their different ways with the cruel events which fate has in store for them are portrayed by Jane Austen with her usual irony, humour, and profound sensibility.©2005 Naxos Audiobooks Ltd.

Juliet Stevenson's reading of this classic allows you to be transported away to another time & revel in the sheer delight of her voice, intonation & diction which takes Ms Austen's classic to a new level of enjoyment. Though familiar with the book, I thought I would listen to it again in favour of re-reading the book prior to the next book club - sheer joy A must download for every Audible library!

What did you like most about Sense and Sensibility?

This is another masterpiece from Jane Austen, with wonderful depths to the stories of her characters. Although it's somewhat mournful throughout, it's definitely a must-read.

Juliet Stevenson did a fabulous job as always, such quality to her reading. But I have to say that after listening to the whole, rather negative story for much of the time, I just had to watch the Emma Thompson/Kate Winslet etc film, whose performances were just stunning.

Perhaps mournful?

Love this classic story and thoroughly enjoyed the narrator who did full justice to it.

Excellent

This is such a great book, so much to enjoy, the writing, the conversation, the ridiculous behaviour to be laughed at. An excellent story and a wonderful classic.

Fabulous reading by Juliet Stevenson, she does a wonderful job with the different voices. Highly recommended.

Just Brilliant

The story is undoubtedly lovely, moreover, Juliet Stevenson's performance is just superb!
I tried several different narrator for "Sense and sensibility" and she is the best.
She created the tone, speed and characteristics for each character so that I could almost see each faces.

The best narrator
