PERSUASION

Amanda Root's crisp, lilting British accent invites listeners into this classic. Typically Austenesque, PERSUASION comments on societal values and the falsehoods that perpetuate them. Two former lovers who were drawn apart years before by such falsehoods reunite and uncover the truth about those who separated them. Ever present throughout this audiobook is Amanda Root's command of the text. Her apparent ease and even playfulness make listening a true pleasure.
