Liza of Lambeth

By: W. Somerset Maugham

Narrated by: Davina Porter

William Somerset Maugham's remarkable first novel was such an instant success that the 23-year-old medical student left school to become a full-time author. Liza, a vibrant but poverty-stricken London girl, is the most graceful and daring dancer that anyone has ever seen, wildly moving to the music of the Italian organ player on Old Kent Road. But her bright light begins to dim as the tragic effects of illness and poverty overtake her body, if not her spirit. Maugham's expert storytelling, economy of expression, and effective use of irony helped him create one of literature's most memorable heroines. (Microsoft Bookshelf '95)©1999 Recorded Books, Inc.

Wonderful narrator.

I’ll look into the social life in 1890s working class London. The authors is very first book.

competence of reader

this is perhaps the best reading I've ever heard on audible. I've listened to well over a hundred of their books.
