Bleak House
Charles Dickens
Gelesen von Cynthia Lyons (1946-2011)
Bleak House is the ninth novel by Charles Dickens, published in 20 monthly parts between March 1852 and September 1853. It is widely held to be one of Dickens' finest and most complete novels, containing one of the most vast, complex and engaging arrays of minor characters and sub-plots in his entire canon. Dickens tells all of these both through the narrative of the novel's heroine, Esther Summerson, and as an omniscient narrator. Memorable characters include the menacing lawyer Tulkinghorn, the friendly but depressive John Jarndyce and the childish Harold Skimpole. The plot concerns a long-running legal dispute (Jarndyce and Jarndyce) which has far-reaching consequences for all involved. (Summary from Wikipedia) (43 hr 30 min)

One OUTSTANDING novel !
Unknown
Absolutely one of Dickens best works. Highly recommended read. I would give it five stars but the rating site won’t allow me to activate the fifth star for some reason.
Homemade and Charming

Bleak House is a charming story full of unforgettable characters. Ms. Lyons does tend to knock her mic around a bit and stumble here and there, but as you proceed through the story you get the feeling a good friend is reading to you, rather than some distant professional. Her rendition of the characters also contributes to their charm. I was sorry the story had to end . . .
Most Excellent Audio!

Bleak House is now, quite soundly, my very favorite Dickens novel, and being his only work with a female narrator, it deserves a female reader. Cynthia Lyons gives us a spectacular recording that is charming, easy on the ear, and never makes you think her amateur status is any kind of liability. So very glad I happened upon her work here.
Rest in peace...

Cynthia Lyons... you died ten full years ago, and I have never even heard your name before, but each death deserves some sort of commemoration. Float up into heaven, and rest in paradise, far better than this flawed Earth...
Well done

I really enjoy the narration of this book. She has a nice tone of voice and does a really good job making everything understandable and easy to listen to.
Great book
