Emma (version 3)
Jane Austen
Read by Elizabeth Klett





Jane Austen famously described Emma Woodhouse, the title character of her 1815 novel, as "a heroine whom no-one but myself will much like." Yet generations of readers have loved Emma, as much for her blunders as for her wit and vivacity. Emma, "handsome, clever, and rich," has nothing else to do but try to pair off her friends, and she consistently mis-reads the relationships and situations around her as much as she mis-reads her own heart. The novel features a wonderful cast of characters, including Emma's hypochondriac father, the odiously prideful Mrs. Elton, the mysterious and reserved Jane Fairfax, and Miss Bates, who never stops talking. (Summary by Elizabeth Klett). (14 hr 53 min)

Reviews
Delightful!





Abigail
Emma just might be my new favorite work of Austen’s. I love the characters, the story line is excellent, and the book is full of the sparkling wit that characterizes Jane Austen. Not to mention Elizabeth Klett, who gave life to each character! Her narrating is delightful, I’m very grateful for her recording of Emma. Definitely recommend!

I'm in love with Elizabeth Klett's reading. The women's voices were especially well done. Everything was so vivid through Ms Klett's reading of it. I didn't think I would enjoy an audiobook and for a first, this was a wonderful experience. And what can I say about Emma? Austen might have thought nobody but her would like Emma, but Ms Woodhouse is too charming not to be liked. I do think I would have liked a little more Mr. Knightley, but this was a wonderful story ♡





WanderingHen
Beautifully narrated! Absolute perfection and quite funny that Jane Austen didn’t think others would like Emma but I think she’s too charming to not fall in love with. This has always been one of my favorite books and it was a pleasure to listen to this time around!
Another excellent listen from Austen and Klett





Ronald Newcombe
Emma has a less abrupt ending than other Austen novels which is a pleasant surprise. All the drama and romantic intrigue and humour one would expect. Fantastic reading as well, one of the best on Librivox

When I first heard this American reader shift to a received English accent, I thought, oh, no. But she does a pretty good job with that, and has a real feeling for the characters, pace, and tone. A really enjoyable listen.
Great reading!





Maddie
With any Jane Austen novel, I love when the audiobook is read by someone with an English accent. To have each character have their own unique voice really enhanced the story. Great pace, volume, and quality.





A LibriVox Listener
Elizabeth Klett does an excellent job of portraying the different personalities of the characters through her voices and inflections. Mrs. Elton and Harriet, in particular, are hilarious! I have enjoyed this reading better than ensemble casts I’ve heard.





Sofia Perez
I love this book and Klett reads it fabulously, sometimes when readers give the characters voices it can be annoying but she does an awesome job, her character voices feel accurate and add to the experience
