Who narrates it?

Ruth Golding, one of LibriVox’s most admired narrators. Audible sells paid studio narrations; they don’t read along.

Is this immersive reading?

Yes. Immersive reading is listening to a book while its text follows along on the page, what Kindle and Audible call immersion reading. Press Listen and that is what plays, every speaker’s dialogue in its own color, from 1× to 2×. The Chromatics app does the same on iPhone and iPad, offline.
