Anne Elliot, daughter of the snobbish Sir Walter Elliot, is woman of quiet charm and deep feelings. Eight years before our story begins, she is happily betrothed to a naval officer, Frederick Wentworth, but she breaks off the engagement when persuaded by her friend Lady Russell that such a match is unworthy. The breakup produces in Anne a deep and long-lasting regret.

I have not read the complete novel but enjoyed this full cast adaptation. Unlike some other reviewers, I enjoyed the music at the beginning of each segment. I was listening with a speaker and not with earphones, so the increase in volume did not bother me. The narrators were all very good, but the low volume with some of the speakers made it difficult to understand what they were saying especially if I wasn't right next to the portable speaker. This audiobook made me interested in reading the novel. My favorite part was the beautiful letter that Captain Wentworth wrote to Ann. Whether you've read the novel or not, I think you would enjoy this adaptation.

Excellent Adaptation

The production of this audio version is outstanding. Florence Pugh is the perfect narrator; highly intelligent with a warm, approachability that lifts you through each chapter. Exceptional casting for all the characters - especially Captain Wentworth. ❤️

An engaging version from a favorite author. The only issue is the volume goes up and down sometimes.

I loved the dramatized version

What with the varying volume levels of each narrator (not to mention the tween sounding actors portraying mostly 30 somethings) and the deafening musical interludes, it was def hard to enjoy a classic. I usually thoroughly enjoy a full cast narration. But it was free; there's that.

Producer mia

I have read this book a few times, but having the full cast and performance details added in brought the story to life. Very enjoyable.

Full cast for the win

I truly enjoyed this audiobook.
Very good narrator. One thing maybe needs attention might be the sound or volume of the different characters are too off.

Well done!!

I really enjoyed it, but the difference in volume of narrating, actors, and background noises was a bit annoying.

Great production, but sound mixing is a bit off
