About this listen

Probably the most shocking of the Brontës' novels, this novel had an instant and phenomenal success and is widely considered to be one of the first sustained feminist novels. A mysterious widow, Mrs. Helen Graham, arrives at Wildfell Hall, a nearby old mansion. A source of curiosity for the small community, the reticent Helen and her young son Arthur are slowly drawn into the social circles of the village.

This great story suffers from the feminine voice of the narrator, worsened by the prim, north American accent, devoid of characterisation or versatility.
Many words are mis-pronounced as though they were read for the first time (or perhaps American pronunciation). The emphasis, stress and rhythm are totally wrong for literature of this period, and certainly for the region the book is set in. So disappointing.

Very poor narration.

this book is a lovely company. nicely read. someone said that they couldn't follow the dialogue because the voices were not too distinct, which is true, but I didn't think it was a problem. I loved the tone of her voice, it suits the style of the novel very much.

lovely company this book is..

I enjoyed hearing this book read to me as it was more interesting as I don't think I would have read it myself. Just a bit mixed up with the characters as there was no difference in the narraters voice to distinguish who was the first named one. All in all narrater did a good read.

I didn't get very far into this because i didn't get on with the narrator. For a start shes american which really spoils this quintessential English classic. Also she speaks in a monotone with no character and i found myself drifting off and having to re-wind it all the time. i guess its cheap for a reason! x

didn't finish
