About this listen

In this gripping tale of passion, independence, and societal constraints, the young and introspective Robert Moore is caught in the whirlwind of his factory's struggles, while becoming entangled with the fierce and enigmatic Shirley.

A strong, unconventional woman with a sharp mind, Shirley challenges the rigid social norms of her time, forcing those around her to confront their own beliefs and desires.

Shirley is a powerful exploration of gender, class, and the complexities of human nature, offering a vivid portrait of a woman ahead of her time.

The story was too long and laborious....Would advise anyone wanting to listen to find an abridged version!
