Wharton's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel set in upper-class New York City.

Newland Archer, gentleman lawyer and heir to one of New York City's best families, is happily anticipating a highly desirable marriage to the sheltered and beautiful May Welland. Yet he finds reason to doubt his choice of bride after the appearance of Countess Ellen Olenska, May's exotic, beautiful 30-year-old cousin who has been living in Europe. This novel won the first ever Pulitzer awarded to a woman.

narrator was so boring, very flat delivery, no decent characterisation. I will never buy one of his readings again.

awful

This is the worst possible narrator. He has a boring droney voice and mispronounces most of the French words (and a lot of the English). I stuck it out for three chapters and have now abandoned this audible version and have read the book instead. Big disappointment.

Shockingly bad

I stuck with it but I found it a very unsatisfactory story and the droning voice of Alan Munro difficult to listen to. As it was written by a woman I would have liked the reading to have been carried out by a woman. This would not necessarily have made the storyline any less tedious, however.
