Lady Connie


Read by Simon Evers

(3.9 stars; 35 reviews)

Constance Bledlow is a beautiful monied 20 year old with the world at her feet. She arrives in Oxford to spend a few months with her impoverished uncle, a University reader, and his family. She conquers Oxford society and sets many hearts aflame, among them that of Douglas Falloden, a conceited aristocrat at the university. However, his assumption that she will fall at his feet comes to nothing. Later, some ragging by ‘bloods’, led by Falloden, of a Polish musician at his college (Radowitz) leads to a bad injury. The book, set in Oxford, follows the aftermath of the incident and the way the lives of the three surprisingly intertwine. - Summary by Simon Evers (11 hr 11 min)

Reviews

Long


(1 stars)

Found this book to captivate the interest at the beginning but soon became long and dull and in the end, not how you want it to turn out. a little depressing as well.


(5 stars)

Amazing narration, Simon! This novel depicts perfectly what it used to be like for women and is a real piece of history!

so so


(3 stars)

Loved the beginning of the book, but after few chapters lost interest. Great reader!!!


(4 stars)

Beautifully read as always by Mr. Evers. Engaging story.


(5 stars)

A feel-good story with good character development, & well-read.


(3 stars)

Faultless reading, as expected; however, I couldn't get comfortable with the acceptance of recurring theme that women are to blame for men being overcome by their passion and thus their reprehensible behaviour.
