The Little House

De: Philippa Gregory

Narrado por: Alix Dunmore

It was easy for Elizabeth. She married the man she loved, bore him two children and made a home for him which was the envy of their friends.

It was harder for Ruth. She married Elizabeth’s son and then found that, somehow, she could never quite measure up...

Isolation, deceit and betrayal fill the gaps between the two individual women and between their different worlds.

In this complex thriller, Philippa Gregory deploys all her insight into what women want and what women fear, as Ruth confronts the shifting borders of her own sanity.

Laying bare the comfortable conventions of rural England, this spine-tingling story pulses with suspense until the whiplash double-twist of the denouement.

Reseñas de la Crítica

'Fiendishly plotted...this is Gregory at her most chillingly convincing.' (Cosmopolitan)

'This brilliant psychological chiller...is utterly, nail-nibblingly plausible. You will relish its explosive climax and be gripped through to its final, superb, double-twist finish.' (Daily Mail)

'Insidiously gripping.' (The Independent)

Good story; not for me

The story is good it’s just a little too much punishing meanness for my taste. I find that being enveloped in that kind of bitterness is not great for my mood or frame of mind. But the writing is good and the performance is very good

Loved it - PG does it again

Don’t typically like books written about more modern times but gave it a try because of Philippa Gregory. Wow. I am in love with this author she can tell an amazing, twisted tale about any era. I’ve probably either read or audibled 90% of her titles and this one was as catching as all of her books. If you’re hesitant about the era it’s written about, don’t be…you’ll love it.

Loved it!

Can't fault it. Lovely from beginning to end. If you don't know what you want to listen to, go for it.

Terribly frustrating

Good story, how terribly frustrating! But I had to see how this would end. Wow!

Revenge is best served cold

What a perfectly written story of betrayal, selfishness and the forced slide into mental illness.

Phillipa is my most favorite author..

And expected more but it wasn’t there. The reader was excellent though and I’ll certainly look for her in other selections.

Quite the family

Great story! The end had quite the twist. Loved it! The narration was excellent. The story kept my interest from beginning to end.

A slow start to a great ending.

A story that takes a while to get you introduced to the characters and to the plot. Be patient. Listen. You will love the characters.

First person perspective and the guilty pleasure at the ending !

Kept me alert and entertained on a long drive. I was impatient to pump my gas so I could continue listening.

Probably the best performance ever

This was a book I could not put down. It is a story of a most bizarre family dynamic. But most notable was the performance. Each character was so well acted, so alive, right down to every inflection and accent. I cannot imagine that reading the book would have been as alive as this one. I wish I could give her 10 stars! Excellent book!
