Critics Review
-
“Persuasion is perfectly rendered in polished, English diction by Scacchi… with subtle, sympathetic tones, allowing us to experience the wonderful written language. Descriptions of an English seaside town provide the backdrop for this love story. Altogether, the audio experience is superb! Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”
