Summary
Magdalen and Norah Vanstone have known only comfort and affluence for their entire lives. Orphaned suddenly following the unexpected deaths of their parents, the illegitimate sisters find themselves flung into the other extreme of living: their father had neglected to amend his will following their parents' recent marriage, leaving them with nothing, and their bitter, estranged uncle, the legal inheritor of the family fortune, mercilessly refuses them support.
They have no money, no rights and no name. Norah, the elder of the two, looks for work as a governess and accepts her fate. Fiery and headstrong Magdalen, however, does not. She vows revenge and schemes a series of traps to recover the fortune, no matter the cost....

A really good listen
Being a fan of Wilkie Collins Writing I was not disappointed with this rendition except in one regard.; during the letters section Miss GArth changed her northern accent to a variety of welsh crossed with something unknown, this was very annoying. The main reader was very easy to listen to and had no such problems. A very enjoyable listen for anyone who enjoys a well written descriptive story.

I cannot recommend this highly enough
The narrator for this wonderful book is nothing short of a genius. He shines an individual light on all the characters in such a way as to amaze and enchant. Wilkie Collins' writing is classical and complex but so eloquent and beautiful that it carries you along in it's tide, and is a work of art in itself. The story is clever with a few lessons in life to learn along the way. I haven't quite finished it yet but couldn't wait to write a review. I loved this book!

wonderful Wilkie Collins
another fabulous story from a classic master! Funny and sad at times. I must say, my favourite character was Mrs Wragg (cap all skew whiff!!) everyone needs a Mrs Wragg!

Interesting twists and turns to keep readers guessing
A well written compelling, if overlong story with quite a few twists. Holds enough interest to keep listeners in suspense.
Memories of Dickens who also wrote long novels and recommended to readers who have enough time to enjoy the leisurely pace.

Loved it!
Have listened to several Wilkie Collins books and this is every bit as good as all the others. Narration was superb too.

Gripping from beginning to end
Willie Collins never fails to enthral me with his books. I heartily recommend it. The reading is extremely well performed.
