A Drowned Maiden's Hair

A Melodrama

By: Laura Amy Schiltz

Narrated by: Alma Cuervo

Laura Amy Schlitz delivers this Horn Book Fanfare and Cybils Award-winning best-seller that whisks 11-year-old Maud Flynn from a cold New England orphanage and into the stately mansion of three wealthy spinsters. After the Hawthorne sisters adopt her in 1909, they tell her she's their secret child. She must remain indoors at all times and must never stand in front of windows. Since these old ladies treat her so well, Maud doesn't mind their restrictions. But she does wonder what could possibly require such secrecy.©2006 Laura Amy Schiltz (P)2007 Recorded Books

Wonderful story

The story is well written and narrated beautifully by Alma Quervo. Each character is given a distinctive voice. I love how Ms Quervo did this. Anyone can listen to this audiobook. It will not upset sensibilities to young or old. In other words, there is no garbage in this tale you have to watch for or be surprised at. I highly recommend it. You’re going to love it.

Really good

I was. It expecting to love a free audible as much as I did this one. It is one of those stories you’d like to just keep going. The narrator was amazing as well!

Will keep you guessing, what will happen next!

Maude's story is both intriguing and heartbreaking. from the moment I met the sassy orphan; I wanted to hear more. From her terrible time at the asylum, orphanage, to the three elderly sisters who adopt her, nothing is ever what it seems.

Loved it!

Such a fun and interesting story! The characters are all so “brought to life.” Maude is especially likeable. The narrator does a fantastic job.

loved it!

This was fascinating -- I was drawn into the story almost immediately and found myself taking a longer route to work so I could listen just a bit more. The storyline is excellent, and if you love melodramas, this one will keep you happy for many hours.
