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)

I love this book. I couldn't be happier with Karen's narration. The reviews are no exaggeration.
Excellently done

I had first given up the book format as it was hard to follow, but after listening to the audiobook, I have such a newfound respect for Pride and Prejudice, that I will endeavour to give the book format another try. It is a truth universally acknowledged that a reader in possession of a Jane Austen work must be in want of more Jane Austen works. ❤️

This was the first audiobook i had ever listened to and Karen Savage ruined all other readers for me from the very beginning. This is the I-don't-even-know-th time I have listened to it and it delights every time without fail. My love for this story is only amplified by Karen's beautiful reading and I will be listening again and again throughout the forseeable future.
Simply perfect!

After years of resisting watching "women's" movies and reading "chick novels" my wife prevailed on me to watch a couple of Jane Austen movies and now I'm hooked. I listen to a lot of audiobooks, so I gave this one a listen. Audiobooks simply don't get any better! I don't have to tout the virtues of the novel itself. It's a masterpiece. This reading is just about as good as it could possible. Karen Savages reading is clear, well paced, with perfect diction and pronunciation. Look no further!
Classic story brilliantly read

Karen Savage really brings the text to life well. There's just the right amount of immersion and character voices for my tastes, too, nothing over-the-top but the characters' essence comes through wonderfully.
loved it

I adore older pieces like this and the reader was very good. My only issue I'd say is that there were moments that the audio cut out though very few.
The Crown Jewel of Librivox
Eric DySart

Dearest Gentle Reader, This recording read by one Ms. Karen Savage is, dare I say, the Crown jewel of Librivox. It is read with such assiduity and felicity., (By-the-by) Ms. Savage also captures the moral turpitude & unconscionable vulgarization of the bon ton of "polite society" who do themselves shame in both subtle & overt haughtiness. Ms. Savage's rendition of this beloved classic does, dear reader, Ms. Austen's masterpiece due delivery and justice (both in equal measure). I shall not waiver in my assertion hence forth: Jane Austen is one of the best authors ever! For those who do not concur: prepare your smelling salts! And thus forget (by your account) this most scandalous prose, the moment you have recovered from your astonishment, as I am certain that some of you may radiate a sullen disapproval by the prose written by my quill, upon this parchment.

Pride and Prejudice is such a timeless novel, one of the best that I have read. Karen Savage did an amazing job with reading this. The plot of the story itself is the best, and the narration only made it better. This is a very hard read on paper, but with the audiobook it was so much easier to follow. I struggle with anxiety and PTSD, so it’s hard for me to get to sleep at night. This book was extremely helpful, not only in slumber, but also in pleasure.
