À propos de cet audio

Originally written for Charles Dickens' Household Words magazine, The Poor Clare is a dark, gothic short novel of thwarted love and a family curse that vividly illustrates the social tensions of Victorian England. The intentional killing of a woman's dog unleashes a torrent of rage. In her desire for revenge, the woman curses the dog's killer: All that the murderer loves most, he will lose. This haunting tale brilliantly demonstrates Elizabeth Gaskell's understanding of the tensions between Catholics and Protestants and the harsh realities of class society.

I thoroughly enjoyed this novella from start to finish. I cannot vouch with absolute certainty for every representation of the Catholic faith in this inspiring story of a broken and contrite heart, but, I can say that Mrs. Gaskell’s heart was, as it always is in her writing - in the right place! The narration was superb and the overall production, flawless. I highly recommend this audio book.
