The Curious Life of Elizabeth Blackwell

By: Pamela Holmes

Narrated by: Sophie Roberts

Elizabeth's parents warned her that Alexander Blackwell would not make a dependable husband, and only after eloping with him did she learn they may have been right... After their marriage, the couple finds lodgings in London. Alexander looks for work while Elizabeth learns engraving. Before long, though, Alexander is in the Marshalsea, the notorious debtors' prison, and she is left to fend for herself. Alone and penniless, she has a few things going for her: a skill, an idea, and an acquaintance. Elizabeth embarks on a quest that earns her a small fortune and may allow her to buy her husband's freedom. It seems like she may live happily ever after. But her extraordinary story isn’t over yet...

wonderful

loved it so much, Elisabeth stood by her man..eow what a miserable loser. but it had a happy ending.

A bit dull and not very engaging

The premise of the story is interesting but the characters seem a little flat and the story waffles along without much fanfare. Would bot read again.
