About this listen

Mystery surrounds Maud Ruthyn in this quintessential gothic novel. Her melancholy father forbids her to ask or inquire anything concerning his misfortunate brother - Silas. From what she can gather, Silas was once a handsome, ambitious young man, but in his later years, he shrank into obscurity. Why? And why is Maud's governess, Madame de la Rougerre, so curious about her father's will? Why is she so cruel? And how will Maude ever find answers from the enigmatic characters that surround her in the spectral castle of Bartram-Hough?

Good but not that good.

The story is awfully, boringly long. It might have been a great mystery in 1864 when originally published. But for today's generation, this is a very weak story. I am a big fan of BJ. I was doubtful how a guy could perform a story narrated by a girl. But BJ, as always, has delivered with excellence. Had it not been for the narration, I would have given up on the book at the 3rd chapter.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
