Aurora Floyd |
---|
Aurora Floyd is a captivating novel that tells the story of a young woman who is swept into a whirlwind of scandal and intrigue. The character of Aurora is complex and intriguing, and the reader is drawn into her world from the very first page. The plot is full of twists and turns, keeping the reader on the edge of their seat until the very end.
Mary Elizabeth Braddon's writing is as fresh and engaging as ever, and her skill at creating vivid and memorable characters shines through in this novel. The supporting cast of characters is equally well-drawn, adding depth and richness to the story. The setting of the novel is also wonderfully evoked, with Braddon's descriptive prose bringing Victorian England to life in all its glory.
Overall, Aurora Floyd is a classic of the genre, and a must-read for fans of Victorian literature. Braddon's storytelling skills are second to none, and her ability to weave a tale of love, betrayal, and redemption is truly impressive. I highly recommend this novel to anyone looking for a gripping and immersive read. Book Description: |

Reviewer: estee - March 8, 2019 Subject: Aurora Floyd Good story I think it was interesting to the end. The dark secret was not found until toward the end of the story. I agree there was something wrong with the recording on ch 15. It was just a novel readers don't have to digest every word the writer described. Many readers but most of them were clearly read. |
Reviewer: cori - January 15, 2015 Subject: Aurora Floyd An interesting book, although lomgwinded. Chapter 15 is almost unintelligible |
Reviewer: User - March 9, 2014 Sugary romance and mysterious skullduggery among wealthy English land-owners. The story had enough twists to keep me listening, but not to every word. The author indulges in numerous lengthy descriptions and observations. A person could leave the room, make a chicken salad sandwich and return to find the story spinning on the same topic. The author makes frequent allusions to Shakespeare's Moor and obscure (to me) literary folks which I thought a bit tedious. Other than that, I enjoyed hearing about the times and people. |
Reviewer: User - March 4, 2014 In chapter 15 there is something wrong with recording. Most words are unintelligible due to this. Otherwise the book is good. |
