Set against the backdrop of a smoldering inheritance dispute within an old noble family, Charles Dickens explores in one of his most famous novels the drama of two women who know nothing of each other yet need each other desperately. While one searches in vain for stability in society, the other is crushed by the very constraints of that society. In this monumental reading of Charles Dickens' masterpiece, Gert Westphal brings to life the vividly drawn characters for the listener, giving each one, from the street boy to the lady, a distinct voice. Unabridged reading with Gert Westphal, 2 mp3 CDs, approximately 11 hours and 44 minutes.
