B.R. Myers's story, set in 1816 in Halifax and on an isolated island off its coast, is brought to life by Imogen Church. She has a unique ability to inject accents and personality into the diverse characters. The heroine, Emeline, narrates her own story. Her guardian, the imperious Mrs. Stackhouse, arranges Emeline's future with Captain Graves, whose first two wives died in childbirth--at least, that's what everyone believes. Then it turns out that the second wife isn't dead at all. Emeline is determined to solve the mystery of Faraday House, save the lady of the house, and go on to live the life she chooses. From Captain Graves's harsh, judgmental voice to Reverend Pellerine's French accent and Hettie's cocksure tone--Church delivers. N.E.M. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2024]
