One of Jane Austen’s most beloved works, Pride and Prejudice, is vividly brought to life by Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike ( Gone Girl). In her bright and energetic performance of this British classic, she expertly captures Austen’s signature wit and tone. Her attention to detail, her literary background, and her performance in the 2005 feature film version of the novel provide the perfect foundation from which to convey the story of Elizabeth Bennet, her four sisters, and the inimitable Mr. Darcy.

A classic, well read
Revisado: 07-22-17
Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice deserves its place numbered among the world's greatest novels. Her writing has a musical quality that is inimitable. It is beautifully brought to life here by Rosamund Pike, whose supremely pleasant narration is punctuated by characters whose voices are distinct and add to the listener's perception without being overbearing. A perfect match. Excellent.

Orphaned at an early age, Philip Ashley is raised by his benevolent older cousin, Ambrose. Resolutely single, Ambrose delights in Philip as his heir, a man who will love his grand home as much as he does himself. But the cosy world the two construct is shattered when Ambrose sets off on a trip to Florence. There he falls in love and marries—and there he dies suddenly.

Du Maurier shines
Revisado: 06-22-17
Du Maurier is at her best with My Cousin Rachel. Reader Jonathan Price enlivens this compelling story with a polished performance.

Country girl Denise Baudu arrives in Paris hoping for a position in her uncle's clothing shop. However, her uncle's shop, along with other small shops in the area, is doing poorly. This is due to the large store across the street - The Ladies' Paradise - which is swallowing up the small specialty stores by offering 'one-stop shopping' at discounted prices. 19th Century Paris is experiencing the dawn of the department store. Despite her loyalty to her uncle, Denise is drawn to the progressive Ladies' Paradise and it's owner, the driven but charismatic Monsieur Mouret.

Lovely story; poor choice of reader.
Revisado: 06-22-17
Zola's writing suffers at the hands of reader Lee Ann Howlett. Her dull, flat tone and lumbering pace render the author's elaborate imagery tedious rather than engaging. Her pronunciation of French names and locations in Paris is distractingly poor and her diction when reading English is equally lamentable. (I had not realized how many times Zola uses the word "ruin" in this novel until I had to hear Howlett pronounce it "rhoine" again and again and again...) The Ladies' Paradise is an excellent novel robbed of its power to delight by a reader very ill-suited to the material. Unfortunate.
