LibriVox recording of Persuasion, by Jane Austen. Read by Moira Fogarty.
"All the privilege I claim for my own sex ... is that of loving longest, when existence or when hope is gone." In persuasion, her last novel, Austen explores the theme of postponed but enduring love, delayed by class boundaries and excessive pride. Anne Elliot, the story's aged (27 year old) heroine, suffers from a decision that was forced upon her several years ago—to break off a relationship with Capn. Frederick Wentworth, the man she deeply loved. As Austen examines the causes and consequences of this action, she sketches for us the social complexities of being part of the upper-middle-class in England at the beginning of the nineteenth century. (Summary by Moira Fogarty)

Subject: Beautiful indeed
I have not much to add to what has been said here already: Moira Fogarty reads the book so beautifully; subtle and distinct at the same time. I loved it. It is also my favourite of Austen's work.

Subject: Mesmerizing
Moira Fogarty makes her characters come alive. At times I thought it was Miss Elliot herself reading her story to me!

Subject: Wonderful Reading
Ms. Fogarty's reading is a listening delight! Perfect, clear excellently enunciated and recorded! Really shines in narative text between dialog portions, which is difficult for many audio readers to accomplish. A great gift to her listeners!

A soft but well-inflected voice, perfectly suited to read Austen aloud.
