The Tenant of Wildfell Hall

By: Anne Brontë

Narrated by: Sara Nichols

"The Tenant of Wildfell Hall" is Anne Brontë's wildly successful and best-known novel. Written in 1848 under the pseudonym "Acton Bell" (each of the Brontë sisters wrote under pen names), it proved to be the most popular book written by the three sisters during their lifetimes.

It tells the story of Helen Graham, a young woman who is courted by and marries the spoiled and self-involved Arthur Huntingdon, a charming suitor but a disastrous and cruel husband. Told through Helen's diary entries, the listener is led through her attempts to escape this torturous union as she struggles to raise their only son.

Both controversial in its frankness and immensely popular among the reading public, "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall" would sadly prove to be Anne's final book (she died the year after it appeared in print). It is presented here in its original and unabridged format.

Excellent Narration of a Timeless Classic

I loved this book! I took a leap and purchased this version, which did not have any reviews but the narrator, in my opinion, is one of the best I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to - and I’ve logged nearly 50 audio books. I will look for more books narrated by her. There were a few voiceovers in chapter 45, like throat clearing and an expression of frustration over turning a page, that should’ve been edited out. However, I found the expression in particular to be quite humorous and it added to the feeling of having an old friend read the story to me, ha! Highly recommend!
