This international best seller, now an award-winning film, is an intricate portrait of Victorian relationships and love. In the story, Charles Smithson is engaged to a wealthy woman, but breaks off the engagement over his secret affair with the beautiful, mysterious Sarah Woodruff, a woman known locally as the forsaken lover of a French lieutenant. The novel offers 3 different endings to encourage you to reach your own conclusions. Brought to life by the artistry of Jeremy Irons (who stars in the film with Meryl Streep), this magnificent tale will haunt you long after the story ends.
This audio book is a bridged version, and although there are events that are rearranged chronologically, the audio book does get to the heart of the story even while cutting out a lot of sidestory.
