    About this audiobook

    Elizabeth's parents warned her that Alexander Blackwell would not make a dependable husband, and only after eloping with him did she learn they may have been right . . . After their marriage, the couple finds lodgings in London. Alexander looks for work while Elizabeth learns engraving. Before long, though, Alexander is in the Marshalsea, the notorious debtors' prison, and she is left to fend for herself. Alone and penniless, she has a few things going for her: a skill, an idea, and an acquaintance. Elizabeth embarks on a quest that earns her a small fortune and may allow her to buy her husband's freedom. It seems like she may live happily ever after. But her extraordinary story isn’t over yet . . .

      Main character was pathetic. Her husband a drifter. She nevertheless stood by him. I only liked her sister. Then- a strange sudden ending that was so abrupt it was like the author gave up. I like the voice actor.
    • 5/5
      Wonderful! Beautifully written, narrated & a enchanting story about courage & perseverance!
