What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
This Penguin Classic is performed by Nicola Coughlan, known for her starring roles as Clare Devlin in Derry Girls and Penelope Featherington in Bridgerton. This definitive recording includes an introduction by Ros Ballaster.
Jane Austen's subtle and witty novel of secrets and suppression, lies and seduction, brilliantly portrays a world where rigid social convention clashes with the impulses of the heart. It tells the story of two very different sisters who find themselves thrown into an unkind world when their father dies. Marianne, wild and impulsive, falls dangerously in love, while Elinor suffers her own private heartbreak but conceals her true feelings, even from those closest to her.

I love Nicola as an actress, but the narration of this was horrible. Too many very small pauzes, really weird!
