Ellen Wood
Ellen Wood’s sensation novel of 1861 found immediate popularity on its first publication. Its themes of infidelity and double identity attracted a wide range of readers, from the Prince of Wales to Joseph Conrad.
Lady Isabel Carlyle leaves her husband and children for the aristocratic Francis Levison, who, as it turns out, has no intention of marrying her. Having been disfigured in a train accident, the unrecognizable Isabel then takes up the position of governess to her own children in the Carlyle household, with tragic consequences.

Public Domain (P)2021 Naxos AudioBooks UK Ltd.Many of the characters - especially Isabel, Archibald and Cornelia - have been fleshed out beautifully. In particular, the trials, sufferings and sorrows of the women of this novel, have been crafted in sync with very real problems and challenges (of both the time and today).
Many of the lines in this book are absolutely beautiful and so poignant. Your heart breaks and you feel conflicted by the familial struggles portrayed here.
As for the crime that is focused on as a sub-plot, it is pretty easy to guess who the villain is, right from the start of the book.
The narration was fabulous- charged and emotional - albeit a tad melodramatic.
But definitely a book worth listening to.
Beautiful exploration of flawed characters
