MOTHER OF OSCAR

by Joy Melville | Read by Patricia Gallimore

Biography & Memoir • 15 hrs. • Unabridged • © 1994

Oscar Wilde's mother was a flamboyant blue stocking and champion of Irish independence. Patricia Gallimore reads this biography attractively in measured, aristocratic tones. Although a lighter touch would have brought out more of Jane Wilde's wit, the listener must thank the narrator for elevating the mediocre writing. Y.R. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/JUL 01]
