About this listen

(Disclaimer: This is not a new title; it is a reworking of "Captain Wentworth's Persuasion" from Ulysses Press.) The love affair behind Jane Austen's classic, Persuasion, rests at the heart of this retelling from Captain Frederick Wentworth's point of view. He loved her from the moment their eyes met some eight years prior, but Frederick Wentworth is determined to prove to Anne Elliot that she made a mistake by refusing him. Persuaded by her family and friends of his lack of a future, Anne had sent him away, but now he is back with a fortune earned in the war, and it is Anne, whose circumstances have brought her low. Frederick means to name another to replace her, but whenever he looks upon Anne's perfect countenance, his resolve wavers, and he finds himself lost once again to his desire for her. Return to the Regency and Austen's most compelling and mature love story. Jeffers turns the tale upon its head while maintaining Jane Austen's tale of love and devotion.

AI Narration is Terrible

AI narration is so awful it’s often hilarious. If you are a fan of the novel Persuasion it’s a fun story.

Avoid Virtual Voice

I wish I had paid attention to who the narrator was. Virtual Voice is terrible. Barely any inflection and pronounced words incorrectly.

The story was not that great. The book could have been cut by a third and would have been much better.
