About this listen

London, 1921 - Jean Buckman, a young and innocent American heiress arrives in England to find a society decimated by war but resolutely clinging to the status quo. She marries Edward Warre an engaging but complex man and the owner of a once great but now struggling estate.

As the marriage falters, Jean spends her summers in the South of France where she embarks on a passionate affair that will have repercussions for the rest of her life. Two sons arrive, the oldest, heir to the estate, is not the true bloodline. But Edward needs Jean's money to survive, and she needs her husband's silence.

I must admit, although the novelist is attempting to write a thoughtful and nuanced story, ultimately it’s just so sad and depressing. All the characters are weak/cowardly and self destructive and despite their privilege, it’s a very tragic tale with few uplifting moments. Repetition of lie/guilt/shame becomes tiresome, although the narrator makes a good fist of it with good accents and characterisation.

Narrator bad with men’s voices all sounding like they have laryngitis

Compelling

Great plot, characters and narration. A few twists and time and place of novel worked well.
