Notwithstanding


Lu par Simon Evers

(4.7 stars; 101 reviews)

The book starts with Annette Georges choosing between two fates: suicide and running away with a disreputable stranger. She is rescued by a kind woman who looks after her until she can go to live with her maiden aunts in a village in the English countryside. There she meets and makes friends with various people and, almost coincidentally, the facts of her past come back to play a crucial part in the story. - Summary by Simon Evers (8 hr 39 min)

Critiques

Excellent!


(5 stars)

Another awesome read by Simon Evers! I love this author! Thank you! Some parts run a little slow and I was longing for some action. But I love her descriptions and careful building of characters. The reader does an amazing job of distinguishing between characters. Stick with it! You won’t be sorry.

Love this Story!


(5 stars)

This is one of the best books I’ve read! There are minor character introductions here and there that make one wonder why but it all fits together perfectly. Stay with the few slower parts and, I promise you will be well rewarded. Wonderful story!


(5 stars)

Really well read by Simon Evers as always This is an absorbing evocation of a vanished way of life, when the honour (of women only, obviously) could be lost, and of small village life in England. The landscape and the people are drawn with lingering and often amused detail, perfectly suiting the pace of village life. If you like Anthony Trollipe, you will like this.

The Time Period


(5 stars)

When a storyline comes to fruition, we can usually surmise the years created. Dress, attitude or car style or horse driven. This one is mostly based on " what would people say!" or " We will have to move now because they will talk!" And what a rather strange, off kilter ending. For me. Yet, do enjoy...


(5 stars)

If you understand and accept the mores of the volume's setting, you will most likely enjoy listening to this author's work. As for its narration, who can fault the brilliantly-accomplished reading style of the inimitable Simon Evers? I do believe he could make the London telephone directory come alive.

INTERESTING ENDING


(5 stars)

A new author to me. A lot of TROLLOPE and perhaps a bit of BENNETT, not as good as either. but still a fine work. It does not hurt that it is read by Simon Evers.


(4 stars)

Thank you to Simon Ever for another impeccable reading. The main character of the book is a woman who is kind, honest and multi dimensional. Unfortunately she lives in a conventional world. I enjoyed the reading.


(5 stars)

brilliant reading and amazing story, reminds me of Jane Austens style. So many hidden gems in the narrative...I will definitely listen again. And I rarely listen or read a book twice.
