Emma is a witty exploration of love and social standing, centered around the life of Emma Woodhouse, a young woman who believes she is a master matchmaker. With her charm and wealth, Emma navigates the complexities of her small English village, but her well-intentioned meddling often leads to unexpected consequences.

Set in the early 19th century, Austen's novel delves into themes of self-deception, friendship, and the intricacies of romantic relationships. As Emma attempts to orchestrate the love lives of those around her, she must confront her own misconceptions about love and happiness.

With its sharp humor and keen social commentary, Emma stands out as a unique take on the romantic comedy genre, showcasing Austen's signature style and insight into human behavior. This novel invites listeners to reflect on the nature of love and the folly of assumptions, all while enjoying a delightful narrative filled with memorable characters.

Very enjoyable listen


(5 stars)

I listened to this in the car, and found it very enjoyable. The novel is supposed to be one of Austen's best. The recording is high quality. The reader sounds American to me, but I soon got used to the accent. The way she did different voices and mannerisms for the characters was very good - not overdone, and I found it helpful. Even when reading the book I was unsure who was talking when. Thanks to Sibella Denton and the other LibriVox volunteers for reading and making my commute enjoyable!

Enjoyable reading!


(5 stars)

This reading is very pleasant to listen to. I'm not a native English speaker, I'm trying to improve my oral comprehension and find it clear and understandable (ok, I'm not beginner level either). This is a good choice for whoever likes Jane Austen.


(3 stars)

I love this book. The reader is very decent too although I find some of her misprounications and occasional misunderstanding of the text's meaning a little distracting. Pretty good overall


(5 stars)

I really enjoyed the reading of this book, especially her rendition of Mrs. Bates. I also really enjoyed the book itself.

Very enjoyable


(5 stars)

Thanks to Ms. Denton for such a lively reading. I have trouble focusing on the written word due to anxiety, but I grew up with books and I love literature, so finding a good audiobook reader is amazing for me.

lovely
