About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

When 11-year-old Henrietta arrives at the Fishers' residence in Paris, little does she know what fascinating secrets the house itself contains.

Henrietta finds that her visit coincides with that of Leopold, an intense child who has come to Paris to be introduced to the mother he has never known. In the course of a single day, the mystery surrounding Leopold, his parents, Henrietta's agitated hostess and the dying matriarch in bed upstairs comes to light slowly and tantalisingly.

Elizabeth Bowen deserves a much better narrator than this one. The book was ruined by her workman-like, unempathetic narration. Both story and characters struggle for meaning.

Awful Narration
