The Shuttle

De: Frances Hodgson Burnett

Rosalie Vanderpoel, the daughter of an American multimillionaire marries an impoverished English baronet and goes to live in England. She all but loses contact with her family in America. Years later her younger sister Bettina, beautiful, intelligent and extremely rich, goes to England to find what has happened to her sister. She finds Rosalie shabby and dispirited, cowed by her husband's ill-treatment. Bettina sets about to rectify matters. She meets Lord Mount Dunstan, an impoverished earl, who lives nearby and they fall in love, but he cannot speak because it would look as if he were after her money.©2017 SAGA Egmont (P)2017 SAGA Egmont

Absolutely Delightful!

This is very long, but my interest never flagged. I could barely stand to leave the story and the characters. Well worth the listen.

Amazing

Great writing. Enjoyable to enter and journey along with plot. Brilliant understanding of complex mental illness and evil. Love all her stories!

A Classic

Oh this was a gift to listen to. it is read, not narrated, and I think recorded some time ago. I turned the speed down to 90% for easier listening, but relished every sentence. Written perhaps 100 hundred years ago, and still of relevance. Thoughtful, a slow story, that took me into its world for 20 hours of my week of books.

Never miss this writer

Having read Burnett since childhood, I still find myself in awe of her plots and characters. The major fault with this performance is the perfectly good readers misunderstanding and mispronunciation of the word ingenuous. Instead over and over she says ingenious which really almost the opposite. It makes several sentences silly. Other than that, this originally Librivox recording is very fine.

Great story, well performed

The first section is a struggle since it details the suffering of poor Rosie, but the mood lifts when we meet Bettina. One of the best stories I have listened to this year.
