In der April-Ausgabe von Spotlight Audio können Sie einen nicht ganz ernst gemeinten Blick auf die wichtigsten Politiker der englischsprachigen Welt werfen und hören, was sie zu sagen haben.

When a handsome young man begins to court Catherine Sloper, she feels she is very lucky. She is a quiet, gentle girl, but neither beautiful nor clever; no one had ever admired her before, or come to the front parlour of her home in Washington Square to whisper soft words of love to her. But in New York in the 1840s young ladies are not free to marry where they please. Catherine must have her father’s permission, and Dr Sloper is a rich man.
