The Widow Barnaby

4.1

The vain, flirtatious and presumptuous husband hunting Mrs. Barnaby delves into high-class society of which she knows very little leading to some rather awkward and moments and ridiculous mistakes. Add the love and distresses of her lovely and demure niece Agnes, Mrs. Trollope's sharp wit, and you have the perfect recipe for a lighthearted Victorian romance. (Celine Major)

Reviews

LIKE MOTHER. LIKE SON


This Trollope is even worse than her son at placing innumerable obstacles in the way of a happy ending.. Nevertheless, it is a good tale read expertly by Celine Major.

Long Story


I found this book to be very long and drawn out and almost gave up on it more than once. The reader is excellent, though!

One of my favorite narrators


Story is too long for my taste. This caused too many chapters to draaag. Plot was interesting and ending satisfactory.

Awful style


Despite the beautiful narration, the style is awful. Especially the talk about a deformed woman.

A Fine Romp


Well drawn characters well read. And there is sequel to look forward to.


Superb reader, enjoyable but unnecessarily long story.

Speed Reader


Really wanted to listen to this book but the reader is much too fast for it to be enjoyable. Tried slowing it down but it was still to fast. Tried listening for a couple of chapters but just couldn't do it. I usually don't mind what other reviewers call a a too fast narration, but this one is just unlistenable for me.


a great book and the reader is just fine
