About this audiobook
A story of the love between upper-class Anne Elliott and Captain Wentworth, who must earn his fortune. Set against the rarefied sensibilities of the upper-class England of Austen's day, the novel is both a satire upon class values and differences, and an engaging story.
Author
Jane Austen
Jane Austen (1775-1817) was an English novelist known primarily for her six major novels—Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion—which observe and critique the British gentry of the late eighteenth century. Her mastery of wit, irony, and social commentary made her a beloved and acclaimed author in her lifetime, a distinction she still enjoys today around the world.
