Lucinda

Gelesen von Nick Bulka

(4,55 Sterne; 10 Bewertungen)

It's 1914 London, and it's Waldo and Lucinda's wedding day. Unfortunately, Lucinda is nowhere to be found. A messenger boy brings Lucinda's note to her mother - ‘I can’t do it, Mother. So I’ve gone.’ There seems to be some suspicion that an Italian gentleman was somehow involved. The search for Lucinda is interrupted by the First World War, and it's not until the end of the war that she is finally located and her story unfolds. - Summary by Nick Bulka (8 hr 59 min)

I Liked It

(4 Sterne)

Lucinda is to marry Waldo, but runs away on the day of her wedding. Later, we find out why. We follow her over the course of a couple years after WWI through the first-person narrator. Central to the story is the enmity between Lucinda and Nina Frost, Waldo's neighbor and the third wheel to their courtship. It's a bit of a study in personalities and manipulation. Very well read by Nick. On the technical side, many of the chapters start out quietly and gain in volume. One must keep adjusting their volume. Otherwise, they are well-recorded.

A bit long & slow

(3,5 Sterne)

Not a bad story, but not great. I found the middle part dragged on too long, & it became boring. Also, I really couldn't stand Arcenio's character (though I know that's just part of the story).

great to read a storyline that keeps ones interest.
