Lorna Doone, a Romance of Exmoor
Richard Doddridge Blackmore
Leído por LibriVox Volunteers
"If anybody cares to read a simple tale told simply" ... thus opens Lorna Doone, one of the best love stories ever written. The novel has inspired at least ten movies and mini-series. "John (in West Country dialect this is pronounced Jan) Ridd is the son of a respectable farmer who was murdered in cold blood by a member of the notorious Doone clan, a once-noble family now living in the isolated Doone Valley. Battling his desire for revenge, John also grows into a respectable farmer and continues to take good care of his mother and two sisters. He falls hopelessly in love with Lorna, a girl he meets quite by accident, who turns out to be not only the granddaughter of Sir Ensor Doone (lord of the Doones), but destined to marry (against her will) the impetuous, menacing, and now jealous heir of the Doone Valley, Carver Doone. Carver will let nothing get in the way of his marriage to Lorna, which he plans to force upon her once Sir Ensor dies and he comes into his inheritance". Summary from Wikipedia, adapted by Stav Nisser. (27 hr 39 min)

Reseñas
Wonderful!
The baker
One of the most beautiful, adventurous, and emotional books I have ever read/listened to. It made me cry! Thank you Librivox volunteers!
Greatest Book Ever!!! 🌺🌺🌺
gizmo princess
This book is so good I have been so happy to get to read it everyone should have to read it I will read it again and again if I have to😍😍 daisy55 is a really good reader and so is Michelle Harris!!! The switching with readers is a little annoying!! 😐😐 but the storyline and background is great !!!!!!! 👍 Lorna sounds so beautiful and sweet and john ridd is a clumsy romantic man who sounds very kind!! ( probably because he lives in a house all full of women) 😄😄. I love Annie and Lizzie! And gwenny is so funny 🤣 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love this book 📚 everyone who reads it should!!!
A good listening to
Rose Sohn
It is a cute love story that was read well, the change of voices I surprising liked. Fortunately, they have changed the description and only due to my annoyance with the characters and a bit of the plot do I not give it 5 stars.
Have another cookie and listen.
Lynne
A very interesting tale. Perhaps a little too much detail, but still worth listening to. The readers did a very good job and it was fun listening to readers from different English speaking countries. I have great appreciation for their volunteering to read.
good book, not as good narrators
isaac
The variance of narrators' skill eclipses (for the worst, not the better) the potential beauty of this communal reading, made simply frustrating in the end because of the disparate narration skills.
saadet akinci
Female readers with different accents dubbing the male first-person narration of the protagonist, John RIDD, marrs the enjoyment of listening though the novel has a very interesting plot set in a historical background.
wonderful romance!
KENZIE
The novel, ' Lorna Doone ' was a perfectly suspenseful romance. I verily enjoyed every chapter. Thank you to all who read this long adventurous, love story!
A Good Love Story
Dragonflyer
A good long love story that depicts life in England of a virtuous farmer in the times of the rule of highway man and kings.
