I've read p&p, persuasion, Lady Susan, sense and sensibility and Emma by Jane b4 but good lord! The humor and drama in this one made me fall in love with her all over again and even more
I don't know which Thorpe sibling I despise the more - Isabella with her affected "My dearest creature! " or John with his mean laugh when Catherine was so desperate about getting out of the gig to the Tilneys. 😡
@@janicebillington2633 You are easily amused, my dear. It's pretty witty, to be sure, but guess I expected something more extraordinary than commonplace wit from this author😁
I have to read this book for uni and I can't get through it. Thank you so much for this video! It has made my life a million times easier. Wishing I had someone to narrate all of the boring theory on this course too haha
The plot point of trying to open a mysterious chest reminds me of the story Lair of the White Worm. Interestingly enough said book would not be writen until 53 years later.
"She was heartily ashamed of her ignorance - a misplaced shame. Where people wish to attach, they should always be ignorant. To come with a well−informed mind is to come with an inability of administering to the vanity of others, which a sensible person would always wish to avoid."
@@conniesobotka4491 I have a bad back and need to recline and it's easier to see my laptop then have to hold a book up and try and read it. Also I find the readers voice very relaxing and enjoy hearing it read.
Wow! I’m gonna make a edit to this comment when I’m done with the book! Ps. Thanks so much for this, it’s gonna really help with my school assignment, while I follow along!
It would be nearly impossible to mistake Katherine for a great heiress as her upbringing, circumstances, education and her clothing would immediately reveal her true social standing.
She's on vacation with a wealthy, childless couple. Mrs Allen was all about fashion and advising her when they shopped for new gowns. Catherine was easily mistaken for an heiress with those traits and Isabella's idiot brother bragging about her to General Tilney. The book explains this, if you read or listen to the whole thing.
Okay...three hours in. Beautiful, off the beaten track Austen gem, engagingly well read and dramatized. Lovely idiomatic language. But there does appear to be one thing missing. When I read a novel, I always read the page numbers - even just glancingly out of the corners of my eyes. How can one not read the page numbers? I mean, they're right there, be they at the top, bottom, lower left, lower right, or wherever else page numbers may be found. After all, page numbers help solidly ground a work in reality. Plus page numbers can allow a reader to determine whether or not he or she has turned too many pages at the same time, which can be particularly important (and likely to happen) if the pages are printed on thin paper. So why take chances? And yet this reader appears to have omitted not just a few page numbers, but every single one of them. What gives? Is it some sort of conspiracy? Not wanting to leap to any wild conclusions, I decided to investigate several other audio books. And guess what? No page numbers. Logical conclusion: Yes, it does appear to be a conspiracy, and a rather widespread conspiracy at that. Well I for one am tired of conspiracies. At best conspiracies create unacceptable ambiguity, and at worst they rudely disrupt people's lives and livelihoods, often tragically causing people to lose their place. I don't know about you, but I can't stand it when I lose my place. Therefore if you are tired of conspiracies and you do not appreciate losing your place, please subscribe to my channel. My channel is firmly grounded in reality. And if I ever read a public domain novel aloud in the form of a video, rest assured that I shall not leave out a single page number. Thank you and fare thee well.
Currently listening to this because I gotta study this book for uni and can’t follow through by reading it, thank you, you’re really making my life easier here🫶🏻
Catherine likes cricket and plucking flowers for cheeky...considered stupid?? She is tomboy ish... Couldn't learn music. Not remarkable leaner. No bad heart or temper. Kind to little ones. Noisy and wild. Wants to be free and roll down hills....
Not a terrible reader, but the ping-ponging between the American and British accent is off-putting & detracts from the story. . 😕 Pick one style & stick with it.
I think her character voices are fine, but I don't care for the American accent for the narrator. I much prefer for actual British people to read Jane Austen's works, but this is available for free on TH-cam, so I guess we're lucky at least part of it sounds more or less authentic.
Are there no British narrators who could read these books? The glaringly American pronunciation of some words is incongruous and shatters the illusion of the quintisential Englishness.

I am so
@@Molaketime😊😊
this is so helpful! but also if I hear Isabella Thorpe say my dearest creature once more I will throw hands with her I swear
😂 I like it quite. It helps me realize who is speaking to whom. I do understand what you mean. It does seem annoying 😂.
She's the most annoying creature I swear 😂😂😂
So grateful for this being provided for free. Thanks to the reader and the TH-camr for taking the time to make this available for us!
I second this gratitude.
First time reading (hearing) this book, she does great voices for the Thorpe siblings, you just want to smack them with every other sentence
Elizabeth Klett is amazing
Omg seriously, everytime one of them speaks i get another level of anger within me
@@up4itgal Yes. And Karen Savage too!
@@sdrbeauty1013 oo
Exactly 🤣🤣🤣
Pay no heed to those who want nothing more than to find something to complain of. You have a lovely reading voice. I am enjoying this.
A little fast. 🙄

the reader is amazing and i appreciate that this is free, definitely helping a lot with my class ❤️
"Her father was a clergyman, without being neglected, or poor, and a very respectable man, though his name was Richard"
that's why i love this author
Oddly that's exactly when I thought Austen has many qualities, but she ain't a comedienne. And no, my name is not Richard, it's Astro Rex.
Not a comedienne? I have to disagree and I thought that quote was particularly hilarious!
@@janicebillington2633 You are easily amused, my dear. It's pretty witty, to be sure, but guess I expected something more extraordinary than commonplace wit from this author😁
@@AstroRex I think with that one it came out of the left field, so unexpected, the element of surprise added greatly to its impact.
@@janicebillington2633 I give in, you've converted me, I like it too now 😁
Great book! Even greater is the reader. Lovely voice and inflection. Well done. Thanks for the effort.
Elizabeth Klett, I believe
I love this narrator and listened to her sense and sensibility audiobook. Amazing job !
I have to read this book for uni and I can't get through it. Thank you so much for this video! It has made my life a million times easier. Wishing I had someone to narrate all of the boring theory on this course too haha
Thank you for the proper chapter splits ... I done several for other audiobooks so this is refreshing lol
Thank you so much for reading as if it is the narrator herself!
Man, your voice made the English the most beautiful language of the world.👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
alison webster it’s a RITISH book and not “American” E glistening which did even exist until the 1970’s!
Can't believe I missed this reading before now. Thank you so much for uploading this book. May, 2024.❤
Henry is my favorite Austen hero just for how fun he is!
was reading this for a book club and absolutely loved your voices for the characters!
She is a very good reader
I throughly loved that reading! It got me through my assignment reading.
i love this book- i think it’s underrated !! 💕 thank you so much

Thank you for this!
I concur
Thank you for the audio book. Please add the cc for people like me with problems hearing.
Why not just read the book then?

rumour has it their still reading
This book is fun and the last line is hilarious. I'm more for children's disobedience over parental tyranny.
Loved 🎧
I'm used to listening on audible, but Karen has ruined me
Yes. I've just had that experience with Mansfield Park. Can't get no satisfaction now.
Put some harp music with this wall listening to the story from another window. It adds to the ambiance.
jane is gone away and way and way she mightes as persuation was just a beggining of fantasy journeysty phenomenalsty terrificsty howsty.
oh how much i hate john thrope
Ikr? He literally kidnapped her.
Ugh. These Thorpes.

It would be nearly impossible to mistake Katherine for a great heiress as her upbringing, circumstances, education and her clothing would immediately reveal her true social standing.
Ah, but it's all about what she will get and not what she currently has.
She's on vacation with a wealthy, childless couple. Mrs Allen was all about fashion and advising her when they shopped for new gowns. Catherine was easily mistaken for an heiress with those traits and Isabella's idiot brother bragging about her to General Tilney. The book explains this, if you read or listen to the whole thing.
Oh God the Thorpes are the most annoying people id cut all ties with them

Yes, that seems reasonable. What's that? A tuba?
@@gray-matterly7735 You certainly know your tubas. Welcome aboard.
Suffering Artists Reading the page I’m drs would be an irritating exercise. Just doesn’t make it a popular idea.
@@up4itgal Surely you jest. How could anyone who appreciates fine literature not also appreciate fine page numbers?
her weakest novel's content, a real view into empty headed adolescence, but still, that wonderful writing

Subtitles please. For the deaf and immigrant people
Please explain the need for subtitles on an audio book? Couldn't you just read the book?

Notes 💗📝 (spoilers!)
Catherine moorland. Father was clergy man. Respected. (Richard). Mom good temper and constitution. 6 siblings... Catherine is plain?
Catherine likes cricket and plucking flowers for cheeky...considered stupid?? She is tomboy ish... Couldn't learn music. Not remarkable leaner. No bad heart or temper. Kind to little ones. Noisy and wild. Wants to be free and roll down hills....
She gave up dirt for finery at 15.
Considered good looking (almost pretty lol). More girlish
Likes stories sports and horse riding.
Had to train to be a heroine? Study fancy knowledge books.
Not a terrible reader, but the ping-ponging between the American and British accent is off-putting & detracts from the story. . 😕 Pick one style & stick with it.
Karen savage is good
I really appreciate it. It differentiates the narrator from the characters.
I wish she would ditch the American one. But I suppose it is her own.
I'm over 5 hours in. I hadn't even noticed. Hahahaha
I think her character voices are fine, but I don't care for the American accent for the narrator. I much prefer for actual British people to read Jane Austen's works, but this is available for free on TH-cam, so I guess we're lucky at least part of it sounds more or less authentic.

Sorry your Anglo illusion is crushed. But it can't be worse than that awful gecko in those insurance commercials.
COMPLETELY disagree with you!
I find the contrast between narrator and character intriguing. She does a wonderful job.
