Listening to the Classics: Jane Austen’s Persuasion, narrated by Michael Page

When I suggested the title of “Caz’s Classics Corner” to the editor at AudioGals as a collective title for a handful of reviews I was going to write of audiobooks of literary classics, I WAS JOKING.

It was written in a hurry shortly before her death, and is the only one of her books to feature a heroine who is (in terms of the mores of the time) past the bloom of youth (Anne is twenty-seven) and a hero who is not landed gentry, but a self-made man.
