The Lonely Lady of Grosvenor Square
Mrs. Henry De La Pasture
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
Elizabeth de la Pasture, the author of this work, is the mother of the more well known E. M. Delafield- author of Diary Of A Provincial Lady. Jeanne Marney, a country girl, comes to London to care for her ailing aunt. She is lonely and unhappy, yet unable to rebel against the many limitations put upon an upper class woman in turn-of-the-century London. Then she becomes an heiress... Would this be a blessing or a curse? This book has been made into a silent film in 1922. This book would be of interest to fans of Jane Austen, Frances Hodgson Burnet, Henry James, and E. M. Delafield. - Summary by Stav Nisser. (8 hr 50 min)

Reviews
adele
A real pleasure to listen to. The readers take a bit of getting used to but in a bit become a charming part of the story.
A LibriVox Listener
enjoyed the story but the reading was very poor
Oh my poor ears !
Susan
A pleasant story line but the readers vary in quality. The lady with the accent is fine, a few readers are very pleasant, but two chapters toward the end are a real trial.
Grosvenor

The s in "Grosvenor" is silent. It's distracting to hear the same place name pronounced with varying correctness.
