The Young Clementina

By: D. E. Stevenson

Narrated by: Karen Cass

Charlotte Dean enjoys nothing more than the solitude of her London flat and the monotonous days of her work at a travel bookshop. But when her younger sister unceremoniously bursts into her quiet life one afternoon, Charlotte's world turns topsy-turvy.

Beloved author D. E. Stevenson captures the intricacies of post-World War I England with a light, comic touch that perfectly embodies the spirit of the time. Alternatively heartbreaking and witty, The Young Clementina is a touching tale of love, loss and redemption through friendship.

Beautifully and evocatively read.

A simple story, of real people, living at a time when honesty, integrity and loyalty were not only valued, but lived in every day interactions and the cost and far reaching impact on others, when these virtues were sacrificed for personal gain.

Superbly written and perfectly narrated

Superbly written story set before and after World War One. The time and setting is critical to avoid applying standards from today on behavior and society viewpoints. This is truly top-notch writing. Character development is at the highest possible skill, and the author definitely manipulates our view point, which makes the plotting wonderful. I just re-read this book after many years gap and appreciate it ten-fold more. Karen Cass reads this to perfection. I checked her Audible books and not nearly enough are books by D.E. Stevenson. She presented this splendidly.

Great Author

Excellent story! Very well written with a smooth reading performance is easy to listen to.A huge Thank You to Audible for having such a great book on their sight.

Why isn't this a Classic?

I have listened to several earlier works by this author, and for the most part I enjoyed them. This story is one of her earlier novels and it is positively great, REALLY great! I'm usually more eloquent in my reviews, but all I can say is that this is one of the most engrossing, well written and wonderful novels I have read. I'm 63 and have been reading since I was a kid.

I have enjoyed several of the Author's much later books, but they can't compare to the power of this earlier work. I'm very glad Audible has a few more possible gems from early in her career I can look forward to listening to.

Fabulous

This might be one of my favorite books by this author. What a wonderful story of so many things! Absolutely love the ending.
Thoroughly recommend
