Vera

By: Elizabeth von Arnim

Narrated by: Lucy Scott

Lucy Entwhistle and Everard Wemyss, both recovering from recent unhappiness, meet and quickly fall in love. However, over their new-found bliss looms the spectre of Vera, Wemyss’s first wife who died in mysterious circumstances. After their wedding the couple return home and Lucy really does begin to be troubled by what happened to Vera. Considered a high-water mark by the author, the story is an extraordinarily black vision of a young wife who gradually begins to understand that her husband will accept nothing less than total intellectual and emotional servitude.

just ok

The narrator did a nice job, but the story was just OK, not very interesting or engaging.

Not her best work.

I prefer her other books over this one… but she captured mental illness well. Glad I listened but wouldn’t necessarily recommend.
