For Love and Life Vol. 1
Margaret O. Oliphant
Leído por LibriVox Volunteers
“The device on his shield was a young oak tree pulled up by the roots, with the Spanish word Desdichado, signifying Disinherited.” The novel opens with Mrs. Murray walking with two of her grandchildren along the banks of Loch Arroch in the Scottish border country. They appear to be well-to-do and distinguished, but all is not well within the family and sacrifices are necessary. - Summary by Lynne Thompson (8 hr 13 min)

Reseñas
Jim Locke is THE WORST LIBIVOX READER
Rand Nathan
This book might be worth a listen - however - the reader Jim Locke ruins it. I have listened to around 500 books and short stories on LibriVox over the last five years and I have encountered Mr. Locke's readings many times. He is a prolific contributor and he is hard to avoid if one plays as many readings as I have. His delivery is wooden and given in a monotone without any trace of emotion. I find his work as appealing as the sound emitted by a fingernail scratching a blackboard. This work, as I stated in my first sentence, may indeed be worth listening to. I am skipping Mr. Locke's chapters; maybe his monotone will put me to sleep.
