Our Own Set

(4.4 stars; 6 reviews)

The Austrian nobility in Rome forms a very close circle, into which only those of high rank and wealth are admitted. They managed to get along with Cecil Sterzl, who, although not one of their own, is regarded as quite an amiable man. However, when he brings his younger sister Zinka into that circle, she is received very coldly at first, if at all. And when, with her fresh and unaffected manners, she wins one heart after another, especially that of the handsome Count Sempaly, she also excites jealousy and contempt in many members of that "set". They are not willing to give up the old notions of social rank and status without a fight...

Ossip Schubin [Aloisia Kirschner] is a now half-forgotten Austrian novelist of Bohemian descent, who has herself spent several years of her youth in Rome. (6 hr 50 min)

Thank you so much Caroline for all your contributions to LibriVox. Listened for the second time this book and it is now 2019. I listen to all your contributions because I so enjoy your narrations and also your choice of books. I hope you are well. Also thank you to all librivox volunteers I do so appreciate you all giving your time.

Very good old-fashioned book.

I suffered with all of them in this book. But also it almost doesn’t matter what the book is, with Carolin reading. It’s definitely past time for her to come back and do more readings for us. She’ll probably say she’s too busy or something like that, but we strangers she’s never heard of are more important than, husbands, children, job etc. We’ve been with her in Oslo, and Hroningen, and Finland. Of course I am kidding — she’s like a friend, so that I can listen to her and she drives anxieties right out of my head, which is like a miracle for me.
