A Poor Wise Man


Lu par Celine Major

(4.4 stars; 93 reviews)

Mary Roberts Rinehart offers a superb blend of romance and suspense amidst political tensions in this story set in early 20th Century America. The characters are compelling and representative of the various socioeconomic classes. The reader follows the complicated relationship of Lily Cardew (just returned from working with the Red Cross during the war) who finds herself unable to go back to the empty social life of the rich and William Wallace Cameron, an honest, fearless and patriotic pharmacy clerk during the turbulent times of an industrial town.

Critiques

Excellent!!


(5 stars)

This story kept my attention from the beginning. An amazing glimpse into some difficult situations of a hundred years ago, some of which sounded very contemporary. It helped me to not worry overmuch about the times we are in today because it just seems that history is a series of ebbs and flows that are set on repeat. We will get past these particular days...

Excellent story!


(4 stars)

If you’ve read other MRR books, you might be wondering if this story is just as good as her other ones. To that, I would say it is perfectly delightful and satisfying. The narrator does take some getting used to, as others have mentioned, but I wouldn’t let that stop you from trying this audiobook. Definitely give this one a try!

(4 stars)

Another great by M.R.R.! I can't get enough of this author and am sad that this is the last of her books available on here for me to listen to. It was a bit tough to listen to this reader at first as she sounds mechanical, robotic but I grew to like her voice and appreciate her flawless reading. A good listen.
