Rest in peace...

Although I have never known you, every single death on Earth is a sad, yet joyful event which must be commemorated as best as we can. I cannot talk of your life, for I know naught about it, but I can, and will, pray for your soul. Rest In Peace, Lucy.
***BONUS*** Lucy Burgoyne reading!

this is a book I have always loved. But the true joy of this recording is a chance to spend tune with the Late Lucy Burgoyne. I love her accent and her conversational delivery. what a treasure to have a classic reader present a classic work. the other readers are wonderful too... but I love Lucy :-)

One of the best short story collections by women or men there is, set in Victorian era and her volunteers! Yes, a 'but' is coming...read these, but also give yourself the gift of hearing the excellent audiobook version on Overdrive and online libraries. This is not casting aspersions. Ms. Burgoyne has a pleasantly-pitched almost whisky-toned voice. She sounds smart and world-wise. KM's stories ask our narrator to become a sheltered Victorian teen on the day she learns how the other half lives,.and other ingenues. She fits 'Daughters' and 'Maid' very well. don't miss ! Esp. 'garden party'; 'daughters of' and'Lady's maid' Ideal family'. 'At the Bay', was like being at a big outdoor party where you know no one very well and can't follow any conversation--and you start to think maybe that Toddy was a Mickey? I hate when that happens! It's a little long and a little dull like a hot afternoon on vacation you swatting no-see -ums the little kids telling each other boogeyman tales, big sis has a boyfriend...
