Set in 17th century England, this marvelous tale is about Mistress Clorinda, a tempestuous stable brat born out of wedlock. It’s a story of rebellion, dark secrets and great love. At a young age Mistress Clorinda inspires her father, Sir Jeoffry Wildairs to publicly acknowledge her. She grows to be a strong, defiant, aggressive woman of great beauty, who triumphs over all. She survives her mother’s attempt to murder her, her nurses neglect, and her own checkered past, to become, at last, a lady of quality.

The language is that of a 19th century author trying to imagine how 17th century people spoke. It’s incredibly awkward and makes a histrionic story worse.
The narrator reads it partly as if it’s a children’s story, partly as if it’s a melodrama— which it was. I’m sure she did the best she could with a bad book but I think she could have helped improve it by reading it in a more modern style rather than mimicking the traditions of the age. You can also hear her turning the pages in the recording.
I loved The Making of a Marchioness and Burnett’s children’s stories. This book is just TOO typical of the Victorian era to make for good reading today.
Very Victorian!
