Sense and Sensibility (AmazonClassics Edition) Audiobook— narrated by Wendy Ellison Mullen
Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility follows sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood through financial ruin and romantic disappointment, weighing a life of careful restraint against one lived entirely out loud.
Why the audiobook wins
Austen was written to be read aloud. Her novels circulated in drawing rooms as evening entertainment, one person reading to the room, and Sense and Sensibility is full of the payoff: Mrs. Jennings talking too much, Lucy Steele saying one thing and meaning another, John Dashwood reasoning himself down from a generous promise to nothing at all.
Wendy Ellison Mullen keeps the irony dry, which is the correct decision and not a universal one among Austen narrators. Elinor's restraint only reads as painful if the narrator does not editorialize on her behalf, and Marianne's excesses are only funny if nobody winks.
Twelve and a half hours of the Dashwood sisters, ruined finances and men who will not say what they mean. One Audible credit covers the recording.
