Description

Penguin Classics presents Elizabeth Gaskell, adapted for audio and available as a digital download as part of the Penguin English Library series.

Read by Penelope Wilton. "Eh, miss, but that be a rare young lady! She do have such pretty coaxing ways ..."Seventeen-year-old Molly Gibson worships her widowed father.

But when he decides to remarry, Molly's life is thrown off course by the arrival of her vain, shallow and selfish stepmother.

There is some solace in the shape of her new stepsister Cynthia, who is beautiful, sophisticated and irresistible to every man she meets.

Soon the girls become close, and Molly finds herself cajoled into becoming a go-between in Cynthia's love affairs.

But in doing so, Molly risks ruining her reputation in the gossiping village of Hollingford - and jeopardizing everything with the man she is secretly in love with. Part of a series of vintage recordings taken from the Penguin Archives.

Affordable, collectable, quality productions - perfect for on-the-go listening.
