Pride and Prejudice (version 3)
Jane Austen
Read by Karen Savage
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)

eternal love

P&P is one of my all time favorites, and this was my first time with it in English. Karen Savage is one of the best readers I've come across so far. This was a real gem. <3
Fabulous book and reader
Elizabeth Wieland
Austen was a master of the English language. I pick up on something new each time I listen to this reading. Thank you Karen Savage for a stellar job.
Classic!

An old school love story! An excellent book in it's regard to social attitudes during the period & really wonderful narration by K Savage.
Why did I wait so long?!

Exhilarating! Now I know why Jane Austen is so beloved. The narrator was also superb.
Excellent book and reader

This is my favorite version of a beloved book. The reader’s voice is soothing, yet it captures the acerbic edge, then playfulness, then warmth of the relationship between Lizzy and Darcy. Highly recommended all around.
Jason Rachels
Best of all the readings I have checked out. I even prefer it over a purchased professional reading I checked out. Karen Savage is an excellent reader for Pride and Prejudice.
Pride and Prejudice (version three)

Karen Savage is one of my favorite narrators on LibriVox. She is able to maintain an entertaining narration while providing the listener with the simplicity of an undramatized reading allowing said listener to develop their own viewpoint of the narrative. The story, of course speaks for itself; one of the finest novels of all time. I would much rather listen to Ms. Savage’s narration then this available via my public library’s offering.
Great reader!

The reader did an excellent job with making different voices for the characters. A few times I was confused when the dialogue went back and forth between similar voices, but overall well done. As for the book itself....it seems a bit wordy and has an 1800's soap opera vibe at tines, but still an enjoyable love story.
