Book Description

Publication Date: May 5, 2006

Always the matchmmaker, Emma has arranged successful relationships among her friends and acquaintances time and time again, but when she must find her own mate, she soon discovers unanticipated inadequacies in her romantic capacities. The bulk of Emma, widely regarded as the most accomplished of Jane Austen’s six novels, is the story of how Emma learns to seize true love. Noted for its understatement and irony, Austen's honest yet gentle prose is expertly handled by AudioFile Earphones Award winner Prunella Scales.

Prunella Scales is wonderfully talented. Good separation of characters. Her rendition of Miss Bates is incredible - leaves one breathless.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Emma (Audio CD)

EMMA is a joyful read, made even more entertaining through Prunella Scales's vocalization of several characters and through her interpretation of the text. Her complementary pace actually improves the listeners' appreciation of Austen's comedic plot. Austen's novels, a treasure any time, are given a fine aural performance by Ms. Scales.
