Emma (version 5)
Jane Austen
Read by Moira Fogarty
A cautionary tale about the evils of interference, matchmaking and good intentions turned awry, Emma is the study of a young woman raised without sufficient discipline or occupation. Handsome, clever and rich, Emma is the epitome of what a young woman should be in Regency England, except for the fact that her indulgent father and lack of a mother have left her spoiled and used to getting her own way. Emma's only true critic and voice of reason is Mr. Knightley, a gentleman whose opinion she values greatly. She delights in meddling in the romantic affairs of everyone around her, thinking celibacy is a privilege she alone can enjoy by virtue of her social standing. In the end, Emma is forced to acknowledge both her own lack of insight into the motives of others, and admit her need for a companion who can challenge her to become a better woman.

Reviews

It is a pleasure to listen to this popular classic. The narration by Moira Fogarty is extraordinary in quality in every way.
Emma was well read. I enjoyed it very much.
She had no problem relating the material or coveying the authors intent. Very well, indeed.
Great reader, good book
Chandini
Not a single word was mispronounced and Ms. Fogarty showed real understanding and connection with the text, making this a delight to listen to. The book itself was a pleasant, easy listen, very indicative of the Victorian mores.
Delightful

Perfect version to "read" on the go. Makes a commute most enjoyable and the voices of each character differ, but are not too dramatized.
Wonderful
