Following Jane from her childhood as an orphan in Northern England through her experience as a governess at Thornfield Hall, Charlotte Brontë's Gothic classic is an early exploration of women's independence in the mid-19th century and the pervasive societal challenges women had to endure. At Thornfield, Jane meets the complex and mysterious Mr. Rochester, with whom she shares a complicated relationship that ultimately forces her to reconcile the conflicting passions of romantic love and religious piety.

A Brilliant Naration of a Beloved Book
Revisado: 04-10-25
Really, that's it. If you haven't already read it, read it. If you're not sure, find an adaptation to watch. Any of them will give you a decent idea of the story. Don't worry, it's worth it. But if you want the the best listening experience of it, you couldn't do better.

Six years after four family members died of arsenic poisoning, the three remaining Blackwoods—elder, agoraphobic sister Constance; wheelchair-bound Uncle Julian; and 18-year-old Mary Katherine, or, Merricat—live together in pleasant isolation. Merricat has developed an idiosyncratic system of rules and protective magic to guard the estate against intrusions from hostile villagers. But one day a stranger arrives—cousin Charles, with his eye on the Blackwood fortune.

Fascinating!

I am only just now discovering Shirley Jackson. I loved the movie with Julie Christie and Claire Bloom and finally decided to understand the source material and was not disappointed. Now with this unknown to me story, I find more to love from this extraordinary writer. It's not loud or splashy. Just a thoughtful little story. But gripping and emersive. I had no expectations. Maybe that's the best way to approach her books. Just let them wash over you and let them happen.

In the sleepy English village of Midwich, a mysterious silver object appears, and all the inhabitants fall unconscious. A day later the object is gone and everyone awakens unharmed - except that all the women in the village are discovered to be pregnant. The resultant children of Midwich do not belong to their parents: all are blonde, all are golden eyed. They grow up too fast and their minds exhibit frightening abilities that give them control over others and brings them into conflict with the villagers just as a chilling realisation dawns on the world outside....

A great listen!
Revisado: 06-01-24
Any fan of the 1960 film Village of the Damned will enjoy this book. The film is an excellent adaptation but of course could only skim the surface of the philosophical, political and sociological exposition and discussions given full voice in its source material. A cracking good story that also makes you think. A true treat! And as always, Stephen Fry's reading is flawless.

So Credit Worthy
Revisado: 08-01-22
If you love these stories, or just good stories. If you've read them an hundred times, or only seen the films. This collection of tales and the voices who bring them to life is well worth it. Is it perfect? What is? I'll leave it the listener to decide when it isn't. Some reviews are critical of elements that didn't bother me at all, and I fully agree with others. But I don't think you'll find a better whole of this collection anywhere.

Oh woe thy name is Silkstone
Revisado: 05-26-22
Firstly let me say that so far, this series is excellent, with a wonderful narrator. My only true criticism is the unrelenting woe. Dr. Silkstone makes a sympathetic, likeable and worthy protagonist. However he is afforded only the very briefest moments of triumph and the merest glimpse of future potential happiness before he is, once again, plunged into the depths of trials and suffering and the machinations of evil doers. I think I will have to intersperse more lighthearted stories between the final books of this series to rest my weary heart. There better be an unequivocally happy ending for the good doctor.

After Jane Austen's earliest known writings, she began a more serious work, Lady Susan, in 1793 or 1794. It is a short, epistolary novel that portrays a woman bent on the exercise of her own powerful mind and personality to the point of social self-destruction.

Almost unlistenable
Revisado: 03-19-22
Performances of many are ridiculously overwrought, even if one excuses those not using English accents.
