Historia3.5 out of 5 stars 400
It is 1873. Mrs. Eliza Touchet is the Scottish housekeeper—and cousin by marriage—of a once-famous novelist, now in decline, William Ainsworth, with whom she has lived for thirty years. Mrs. Touchet is a woman of many interests: literature, justice, abolitionism, class, her cousin, his wives, this life and the next. But she is also sceptical. She suspects her cousin of having no talent; his successful friend, Mr. Charles Dickens, of being a bully and a moralist; and England of being a land of facades, in which nothing is quite what it seems.

Not good audio narration for the non-british public.

Very difficult to understand the accents. It made it hard to follow. The character of Mrs Touché is very interesting.

A Suitable Boy is Vikram Seth's epic love story set in India. Funny and tragic, with engaging, brilliantly observed characters, it is as close as you can get to Dickens for the twentieth century. The story unfolds through four middle class families: the Mehras, Kappoors, Khans, and Chatterjis. Lata Mehra, a university student, is under pressure from her mother to get married. But not to just anyone she happens to fall in love with.

Completely incomprehensible.

I have had people highly recommend this. I can’t understand why. The background noise is distracting and way too loud so that I was constantly turning the volume up and down to hear the voices.
The plot, if there is one, is very difficult to follow. Too many characters that are difficult to identify and their stories connect in very mon-linear ways. I found the whole book/ play very confusing and had to stop. I would seriously not buy this book.
