Miss Octavia Basset est une jolie jeune fille de dix-neuf ans, élevée par son père pionnier au Far West, dans les années 1870. Pour la première fois, elle rend visite à sa tante, dans le petit village de Slowbridge au fond de la campagne anglaise. L'arrivée de la nièce, avec ses différences et ses manières spontanées, met en émoi tout le village de Slowbridge. Certains vont devenir ses amis, mais l'austère Lady Théobald entend bien inculquer à l'étrangère quelques rudiments des bonnes manières. Une jolie héroïne qui dérange, des personnages bien typés (le curé, les dames du village, les prétendants...) et une malicieuse intrigue qui brosse avec humour un tableau vivant des mœurs de la société provinciale du XIXe siècle.
Frances Hodgson Burnett (Author), Emmanuelle Lemée (Narrator)

Audiobook
Smart and intuitive, Bettina is not fooled by Sir Nigel, the English aristocrat, who has come to New York to marry her sweet and naïve older sister Rosalie. And rightly so: Sir Nigel is cruel and selfish and only marries Rosalie for her money. But still a child, there is nothing much Bettina can do about it. When years have passed and the family has lost all contact with Rosalie, however, Bettina decides to sail across the Atlantic and save her sister. With `The Shuttle‘ (1907), Author Frances Hodgson Burnett created one of those heroines whose presence it is immensely satisfying to be in. Betty is initiative and strong, and she refuses to be bullied by manipulative men. It is hard not to fall in love with her. Despite its dark plot, `The Shuttle‘ is ultimately a romantic and uplifting story with lots of delicious drama.

When Mary's parents die, she is sent to live in England with her uncle, a crotchety old widower. At first blush Mary is a spoiled, self-absorbed brat - she grew up unloved and unwanted, and is certainly 'quite contrary.' When she discovers behind high walls a mysterious and unkempt garden on the manor's property, her imagination and emotions begin to awaken.
Frances Hodgson Burnett (Author), Brian Morris (Narrator)
