Little Eve Edgarton
Eleanor Hallowell Abbott
Gelesen von Nathalie J.
Little Eve Edgarton introduces listeners to a young woman whose outward appearance belies her true nature. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, Eve navigates the complexities of identity and societal expectations, particularly in her interactions with the enigmatic Mr. Barton.
As Eve grapples with her own perceptions and the judgments of others, the story unfolds to reveal themes of self-discovery and the nuances of first impressions. Abbott's narrative invites readers to consider how much of ourselves we reveal and how much remains hidden beneath the surface.
This coming-of-age tale blends elements of romance and general fiction, offering a thoughtful exploration of youth, love, and the journey toward understanding oneself in a world full of assumptions.

A quirky, but sweet story
A LibriVox Listener
Although the story is a bit odd, I think many of us know or knew what it is like to be an Eve Edgarton, even if not the same extreme. To not be the popular, sought after girl, but to know that deep down we were a rose if only someone would care enough to help us bloom. Despite its quirks, I liked the story, though the ending was a bit abrupt. The reader has a sweet pleasant voice; perfect for Miss Abbot's heroines. She did mispronounce quite a few words, but her reading was otherwise very good, so that I didn't find it a great distraction.
So nice and fun

She’s an unusual kind of ingenue. With a strange story ; and the writing is funny and striking. This reader Nathalie J. Is perfect for the story, and just a streamlined cheerful reader- never stuffy or bossy.
Well read , but a very odd story
Susan
Very strangely written. It made me wonder if the author was on drugs ! Rather disjointed with unrealistic characters & not particularly plausible situations.
Another Delight

This is just a quirky little romance, read by one of my favorite LibriVox Volunteers. Just long enough to fill an afternoon or an evening.
Wisdom delightfully told.

Instructive story. Just right in terms of common sense. Superb reader as always!
