About this listen

Annabella LaGrange was the only child of a wealthy family, owners of a glassworks in the North-East of England. When Annabella was seven, she thought the world a delightful place to live in, and only occasionally wondered why her parents never took her beyond the gates of their magnificent country estate. When she was ten she decided that the seclusion didn't really matter because when she grew up she would marry her handsome cousin Stephen and never be lonely again.

But when she is 17, Annabella learns something so shocking about her past that she flees her childhood home and is forced to embark upon a new existence with an invented past. Suddenly she must unlearn everything she has been taught about class and love.

On the whole I enjoyed the story & thought the narrator excellent. The only thing that irked was a touch too much pathos where the main character was concerned. Every time the narrator voiced Annabella, her voice was so plaintive I just heard ‘Oh poor me! Poor, poor me!’ Although in fairness, every other sentence she utters is interspersed with the words ‘Oh Manuel! Manuel, Manuel!’ I will be happy if I never hear the name Manuel ever again.

A little too much pathos
