About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Charlotte's Inheritance by Mary Elizabeth Braddon. Read in English by Lynne T; Rosalind Walsh; Jim Locke; Kalynda; Celine Major A lesser known novel by the sensational English novelist, Charlotte's Inheritance opens in Paris in a dilapidated boarding house let to students by a scarcely adequate landlady. Enter Gustave, a young provincial, arriving in Paris supposedly to study law, but in reality as the proposed husband of the dour and unattractive daughter of his sponsor. Unable to tolerate the life arranged for him, Gustave quits the boarding house but recommends it to a mysterious young English widow who approaches him for assistance. - Summary by Lynne Thompson
