Acerca de esta escucha
Cousin Phillis – a miniature masterpiece – is set in the 1840s, when the coming of the railway was changing the face of England, and quiet rural communities, coming into contact with the outside world, were changed forever. The story focuses on the effect these changes have on a naïve country girl, Phillis, as she encounters love, with all its pains and pleasures, for the first time.

Lady Ludlow's appalling snobbery, prejudice and bred-in-the-bone conviction as to the superiority of the English aristocracy and their feudal way of life are deliciously tested, and found wanting, in this gently radical tale of the collapse of a social system. Elizabeth Gaskell's My Lady Ludlow is a brilliant picture of the shift in power in a rural northern village, from the velvety feudal Ludlows to the glitter of the new money rattling through the system courtesy of the brazen baker from Birmingham.

Set in a chaotic time in England, during the height of the Napoleonic Wars, Caroline Helstone's world is turned upside down when she meets the vivacious Shirley Keeldar. Shirley becomes a beacon of light for Caroline as the two become close friends. However, Caroline is soon shocked to discover that Shirley has won the affections of Robert Moore, the impoverished mill owner whom she loves. Fully representative of Yorkshire life at the time, Brontë's second novel is completely gripping, unrelenting and utterly wrenching in its portrayal.

Dorothea Brooke is an ardent idealist who represses her vivacity and intelligence for the cold, theological pedant Casaubon. One man understands her true nature: the artist Will Ladislaw. But how can love triumph against her sense of duty and Casaubon’s mean spirit? Meanwhile, in the little world of Middlemarch, the broader world is mirrored: the world of politics, social change, and reforms, as well as betrayal, greed, blackmail, ambition, and disappointment.

"Ayala's Angel" (1878) is a novel by Anthony Trollope. The story focuses on two orphaned sisters, Ayala and Lucy Dormer, and their trials, first with their relatives, then of the heart. As in most Trollope novels, pages are given over to subplots related to the main plot. Excerpt from the book: "It was now the beginning of February. As Tom and his uncle had walked from Somerset House the streets were dry and the weather fine; but, as Mr. Dosett had remarked, the wind was changing a little out of the east and threatened rain.

Reseñas editoriales
Narrator Joe Marsh finds the perfect voice for 17-year-old Paul Manning. By turns sensible and naive, straightforward and wistful, Paul moves to the countryside and befriends his beautiful, sheltered cousin Phillis. Both Paul and Phillis are witness to the changes wrought by the coming of the railway to 1840s rural England, with communities forever changed by their contact with the outside world. Marsh subtly evokes the story's delicate eroticism, and, like Paul, listeners will feel as allured by Phillis' chaste sensuality as she encounters love for the first time.

Molly Gibson, the only daughter of a widowed doctor in the small provincial town of Hollingford, lost her mother when she was a child. Her father remarries wanting to give Molly the woman's presence he feels she lacks. To Molly, any stepmother would have been a shock, but the new Mrs. Gibson is a self-absorbed, petty widow, and Molly's unhappiness is compounded by the realisation that her father has come to regret his second marriage.

Written at the request of Charles Dickens, North and South is a book about rebellion that poses fundamental questions about the nature of social authority and obedience. Gaskell expertly blends individual feeling with social concern and her heroine, Margaret Hale, is one of the most original creations of Victorian literature. When Margaret Hale's father leaves the Church in a crisis of conscience she is forced to leave her comfortable home in the tranquil countryside of Hampshire....

Elizabeth Gaskell's novella The Moorland Cottage takes place near the town of Combehurst where Mrs. Browne lives with her children, Edward and Maggie, and their servant, Nancy. Near the Brownes' cottage lives the Bruxton family in a luxurious mansion. The two families grow closer with time and the author shows how childhood education and growing up shape and effect the adult personality.

Cousin Phillis
I love the buck and couldn’t wait to start listening. I can’t get through the very beginning though; Narration is so bad and the choice so poorly thought out and makes it impossible for me to listen through.

Universal characters in one small family cirvle
Beautiful deep characters drawn with a wonderful understanding of human nature. Mrs. Gaskell is both sympathetic and realistic in her descriptions of people and our strengths snd weaknesses

Delicate Story
Elizabeth Gaskell, better known for her full-length novels, has written a lovely story of a country family told through the eyes of a cousin. Although the story does not contain the depth you would expect from a longer novel, her descriptions of the family, the farm, and the railway, which is being built and will forever change their lives, as well as the budding romance makes this read well worth it. I recommend this story.

a jewel!
Wonderfully performed, a beautifully written story by Elizabeth Gaskell. We see the heroine through the eyes of her male cousin, an unusual narrative perspective.

One of the worst readers I have ever heard
The reader was probably the worst I have ever heard. His voice wasn’t unpleasant, which I always check before getting a book, but he sounded as if he had never read the book before, had no idea when to emphasize, when to use a parenthetical voice, etc. It was like listening to a first year student with a posh accent thinking he could wing it.
