Rosalie Vanderpoel, the daughter of an American multimillionaire marries an impoverished English baronet and goes to live in England. She all but loses contact with her family in America. Years later her younger sister Bettina, beautiful, intelligent and extremely rich, goes to England to find what has happened to her sister. She finds Rosalie shabby and dispirited, cowed by her husband's ill-treatment. Bettina sets about to rectify matters. She meets Lord Mount Dunstan, an impoverished earl, who lives nearby and they fall in love, but he cannot speak because it would look as if he were after her money.©2017 SAGA Egmont (P)2017 SAGA Egmont Classics İngiltere

This is another excellent story by Frances Hodgson Burnett and I definitely recommend it.

The narration is reasonable, but very fast (I had to slow it down to 0.8 playback speed to make it tolerable) and the narrator clearly has no understanding that ingenious and ingenuous are two completely different words with very different meanings. She consistently says ingenious when she should say ingenuous and this makes no sense whatsoever in the context. For instance, we are told in almost the same sentence that one of the characters is both slow witted and 'ingenious', when she is, in fact, slow witted and ingenuous. Therefore, when listening to this book I find myself mentally editing it, as unfortunately 'ingenuous' is one of Frances Hodgson Burnett's favourite words.

I would really like to hear this book read by a better narrator (Juliet Stevenson would be my choice), but as, at the time of writing, this is currently the only version available on Audible, it is better than nothing.

The last point that needs to be mentioned is that the recording quality is very poor. At some point near the beginning voices can be heard mumbling in the background, and a few hours into the book birds can clearly be heard chirping in the background. This goes on for a long time. This book doesn't sound as if this was recorded in a studio but in someone's garden or summerhouse. It is not of a professional recording quality, so this too needs to be borne in mind when considering purchasing this audiobook.

Fast narration, recording quality low

I could not stand listening any more. I stuck it out until chapter 6 but the background interference got increasingly worse. Added to this the monotonous tone of the reader’s voice and her insistence of introducing each chapter with the full title of the book and the name of the author drove me to distraction and l found myself shouting at the i pad. I think someone should listen to this recording to see what l mean. It is awful
