The Keeper of the Door


Read by Celine Major

"The Keeper of the Door" is a heartwarming and deeply emotional tale. Ethel Dell's rich storytelling, her vividly drawn characters, and her ability to weave themes of love, sacrifice, and redemption are what makes her novels enduring classics. The story revolves around Olga Ratcliffe, a charming and strong-willed woman, and Nick Ratcliffe, her uncle, who is deeply devoted to her. Their close bond sets the stage for a narrative filled with emotional challenges and moral dilemmas. Max Wyndham, the primary love interest is a brilliant surgeon with a reserved demeanor but a passionate side. Major Hunt-Goring is the villain who will stop at nothing including blackmail to force Olga to marry him and even using her beautiful best friend Violet to attain his end. The story begins in rural England but eventually takes us to India where Nick is sent on a six-month military assignment amidst political unrest. - Summary by Celine Major (18 hr 17 min)
