I tried to read Persuasion by Jane Austen, but couldn't follow it so I moved to listening to the audiobook. I found it hilarious, which made me want to improve my reading comprehension. I decided to record my second read through the book for myself and for my friend Caitlin.
Persuasion (version 2) by Jane Austen (1775 - 1817)
LibriVox
Eight years ago, Anne Elliot fell in love with a poor but ambitious young naval officer, Frederick Wentworth. The Elliots were dissatisfied with Anne's choice, feeling he was not distinguished enough for their family, and her older friend and mentor, Lady Russell, acting in place of Anne's deceased mother, persuaded her to break off the match.
