Narrator Rosalyn Landor takes listeners to England in the early 1800s as the Dowager Countess Clarissa Ware rediscovers a childhood friendship with Matthew Taylor. Clarissa returns to her family estate to reevaluate her life as she approaches her 50th birthday. Working as a carpenter in the village is Matthew, whom she grew up with. Landor brings maturity to her narration of Clarissa and Matthew, befitting their ages. She smoothly portrays the other characters, who range from Clarissa's children and grandchildren to local villagers. Landor handles the transition of Clarissa and Matthew's relationship from friendship to love by adding warmth to her performance. Her crisp English accent helps the listeners immerse themselves in Clarissa and Matthew's romance. S.B. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2025]
