but, but, but ...Flo Gibson (the narrator) has an American accent.
Re-read (listen). I expected a woman narrator, but Michael Page is the reader and he's pretty good, so no complaints.
Maybe Jane Austen books just aren't for me. This is a classic and lots of people way smarter than me love it. So I'm inclined to believe everyone else is right and I am wrong.

Persuasion is one of the novels by Jane Austen that I was really looking forward to reread because I remembered it as being one of my favorites. This is very different from Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility, for it is lacking the humor and the wit. However, the heroine is extremely likable and I may like her better than Elizabeth Bennett. Anne Elliot was an older heroine for the time when written, she is 27 when we meet her. When she was younger she was persuaded by her father and a well meaning friend to turn down the engagement of Mr. Wentworth. Years later, Anne is still not over him but has settled into her life without him. When her family living situation changes, Wentworth is brought back into her life. She steels herself to being in his presence. What I like about Anne is that she is very aware of other peoples faults but still has to put up with them as ladylike as possible. Her family while not horrible to her, do not think of her. The humor is also missing in this book but there are moments where where it is bit tongue in cheek. A solid read but not my favorite of the Janes Austen stories, even though Anne Elliot might be my favorite character, of course after the hysterical Mr. Bennett.
