About this listen

John Harmon, in exile for many years, discovers that by a curious quirk in his father’s will he must marry Bella Wilfer, a girl he has never met, in order to claim his inheritance. Mistakenly thought to have drowned, on his return he gains employment with the kindly Mr Boffin under the assumed name of John Rokesmith and falls in love with the flighty and mercenary Bella, who scornfully rejects him as a mere impoverished secretary. But Boffin and his wife contrive a plan to help John and show Bella the error of her ways.

There are plenty of reviews of Dickens masterpiece so I want to draw attention to Troughton’s superlative performance. Really excellent. He maintains interest through all the tricky sentimental bits and I loved it so much I will seek out any other books he has recorded.

Excellent performance

The narration is engaging, nuanced and clear. This narrator can easily differentiate between characters and is able to easily set the scene and create an impression of a certain ambience reflected in the text. The narration is not too fast or too slow, and the diction is crisp and intelligible. A very enjoyable read!
