Emilia Fox's reading sparkles with sophistication and intelligence. Her voice is arched but good humored and carefully pointed, with all the barbs subtly, and sometimes not so subtly, exposed. Character, however, is Fox's real strength. From the outset Mrs. Bennet's voice horrifies us, as it does her daughter, and we feel all Elizabeth's embarrassment at such a mother, not to mention Mr. Darcy's repugnance. Caroline Bingley's voice drips with unction when addressing Darcy, but communicates an acid tone with Eliza. Even Lady Catherine's crotchety hauteur and Mr. Collins's obsequiousness draw smiles. A skillful artist, Fox brings them all to life, rendering accessible to a wider audience all the author's good sense and humor. P.E.F.

Most experts agree that Jane Austen's prose is nearly perfect. Her writing reflects a scintillating wit and an understanding of human weaknesses. Narrator Fox handles the daunting task of voicing Austen's masterpiece with aplomb. She is especially vibrant when reflecting the erupting anger between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. She adroitly captures the righteous fury of two people who are not quite sure how they feel about each other but know their feelings are powerful. She has a wonderful way with Elizabeth's mother, who shamelessly attempts to get her five daughters married and whose conflicts with her husband add humor and wry satire. A technically perfect CD.
