What listeners have said about Almost Persuaded

"Miss King is an underappreciated minor character in Miss Austen's book, but here in P.O.Dixon's story, it is she who is the lead."

"I really liked this tale. Mary is very sweet and naïve, and Wickham is as dastardly and exploitative as we all expect him to be. The narration, as with all of Pam Dixon's works, was excellently done as usual by the lovely Pearl Hewitt."

"Fun to listen to a side story play out."
