Emma (version 5)

(4,772 Sterne; 228 Bewertungen)
A cautionary tale about the evils of interference, matchmaking and good intentions turned awry, Emma is the study of a young woman raised without sufficient discipline or occupation. Handsome, clever and rich, Emma is the epitome of what a young woman should be in Regency England, except for the fact that her indulgent father and lack of a mother have left her spoiled and used to getting her own way. Emma's only true critic and voice of reason is Mr. Knightley, a gentleman whose opinion she values greatly. She delights in meddling in the romantic affairs of everyone around her, thinking celibacy is a privilege she alone can enjoy by virtue of her social standing. In the end, Emma is forced to acknowledge both her own lack of insight into the motives of others, and admit her need for a companion who can challenge her to become a better woman. (Summary by Moira Fogarty) (16 hr 44 min)

An enjoyable listen as the reader, Moria, changes her voice to emphasize the different characters. My favorite of her’s is Mrs. Elton. She captures the slyness and snobbery of the character very well.
Good Listen

The plot was kinda slow at times. But I found the story interesting overall, and the narration was excellent. I appreciate how Moira gave each character a different voice.
Wonderfully done

No one can compare to Jane Austin for writing,, Ms Fogerty does justice to the reading of this beloved story
Don't miss it!

I usually only listen to English voices reading the English classics, so I nearly missed a treat here. Moira Fogarty's reading is absolutely splendid: clear, well-paced throughout and free from errors. She brings the various characters to life. I noticed that she brings out so many of the nuances in Austen's writing - including several that I had missed when reading and re-reading the book. My rating is for Moira's reading. It goes without saying that the book itself merits five stars.
