Pride and Prejudice is the most famous of Jane Austen’s novels, and its opening is one of the most famous lines in English literature - “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” Its manuscript was first written between 1796 and 1797, and was initially called First Impressions, but was never published under that title. Following revisions it was published on 28 January 1813 by the same Mr. Egerton of the Military Library, Whitehall, who had brought out Sense and Sensibility. Like both its predecessor and Northanger Abbey, it was written at Steventon Rectory. (Summary from Wikipedia) (10 hr 23 min)

I love this book. I couldn't be happier with Karen's narration. The reviews are no exaggeration.
Excellently done

I had first given up the book format as it was hard to follow, but after listening to the audiobook, I have such a newfound respect for Pride and Prejudice, that I will endeavour to give the book format another try. It is a truth universally acknowledged that a reader in possession of a Jane Austen work must be in want of more Jane Austen works. ❤️
Amazing Book, Amazing Reader

Pride and Prejudice is of course a classic, a pioneer is showing that gentlewomen's drawing room affairs could be the plot of the novel.. the very vehicle hitherto only used to define the future of nations, or to navigate the dangerous ups and downs of gothic-romantic sentimentalism. The purpose of my review is to fully appreciate the reading of Ms. Savage. It truly brought the story to life.
Amazed and Astonished

This was the first audiobook i had ever listened to and Karen Savage ruined all other readers for me from the very beginning. This is the I-don't-even-know-th time I have listened to it and it delights every time without fail. My love for this story is only amplified by Karen's beautiful reading and I will be listening again and again throughout the forseeable future.

The perfect pairing of reader and my favorite book. Ms. Savage renders the perfect nuances of characters and inflections that bring this satisfying work to life. I never get tired of listening to the delicious turn of phrase and each time find some new description or allusion that I had not noticed before. Truly a master work of fiction read by a very talented reader.
Classic story brilliantly read

Karen Savage really brings the text to life well. There's just the right amount of immersion and character voices for my tastes, too, nothing over-the-top but the characters' essence comes through wonderfully.

Karen Savage is amazing! I love the voices she did for Mrs. Bennet, Mr. Collins and Lydia Bennet.
