The Pride of Jennico


Read by Sylviamb

(4.4 stars; 23 reviews)

An enjoyable story and easy to listen to. The plot is well connected and develo…

The reader is clear spoken and easy to follow and understand. There are one or two words which sound mis-pronounced to my ear but it is not hard to follow. I so appreciate the volunteers who recorded this!

No complaints, I just found it lacking the ironic humour of other authors of the time, and the social revelations I enjoy.
