About this listen

In a world where Eliza, Marys self-absorbed mother, favors her son and immerses herself in novels, Mary finds herself overlooked and undervalued. While her mother neglects her, Mary turns to the wisdom of books and the beauty of nature for education. Her charitable heart shines through in the shadows of familial indifference. Tragedy strikes when her brother unexpectedly dies, thrusting Mary into the spotlight as the sole heir to the family fortune. Suddenly, her mother’s interest piques, pushing Mary into a whirlwind of lessons in charm and decorum meant to attract suitors. However, as her mother lies on her deathbed, she insists that Mary marry Charles, a wealthy stranger. Stunned and unable to refuse, Mary agrees, only to find herself abandoned immediately after the wedding as Charles departs for the Continent.
