Summary
Just as Anne had to use a male pseudonym in order to publish, Helen Graham, the novel's protagonist and a battered wife, must assume an alias in order to gain freedom from her suffering. With her young child, Helen takes up residence at Wildfell Hall, shrouding her past in secrecy, yet earning the attentions of a young, unmarried country gentlemen. Anne Brontë employs the atmosphere of the bleak Yorkshire moors and the cold, rugged gloom of the fictional mansion to set the stage for a tragedy that reveals the secret violence in a society considered well-mannered.

Mainly excellent
i found the male actor a difficult listen but generally I enjoyed it. Great story. They did tend to a bit of waffle in those days! haha!

Awful narrator
Unfortunately, the narrator seems more interested in the sound of his own voice rather than affording this fabulous classic with the careful intonation it deserves. My recommendation would be choosing an alternative version with a more considerate narrator who interferes less with the narrative.
