About

91´«Ã½

Fielding narrates Baker’s extraordinary revisionist take on "Pride and Prejudice" with a quiet, shimmering assurance, as she exposes the upstairs-downstairs dynamics of the Bennet family. Her elegant delivery and mastery of pitch, rhythm and emphasis turn each sentence into a seduction.
