A Simple Story

Gelesen von LibriVox Volunteers

(4 Sterne; 4 Bewertungen)

The story could really have been simple: Miss Milner, who is admired for her beauty and charm, could have been a socialite, marry a respectable and good looking man and be happy in the standards of her time. But if it was so, why would there be a book? Miss Milner, beautiful and charming as she is, announces her wish to marry her guardian, a catholic priest. But women in the 18th century do not declare their wishes or speak about their passions, and- after all- he is a catholic priest… And if he finds a way to marry her, is this her road to happiness?
(Summary by Stav Nisser) (11 hr 5 min)

nothing simple about it

(4 Sterne)

The title is an enormous understatement...there were several times that I thought the story was over and I wasn't even close to being right. After giving it a fair listen, I understand the panegyric in the introduction (which I thought ridiculous halfway through the book). If you like old stories and have the patience to dislike most of the characters for a lot of the book, you'll appreciate the craft of the novel and the suspense the author cleverly manages to control right up to the end. Well done to most of the readers. Just a note to them: if you don't know how to pronounce an unusual word, look it up. It's worth knowing the correct pronunciation. It really is.

didn't like it.
