A three volume novel, Deerbrook (1839) is a story of middle class country life with a surgeon hero.
Like the later and more famous novel Middlemarch, Deerbrook describes the life of country people in a fictional English town. The Grey family live in one of the loveliest houses in Deerbrook, but a change in their lives is going to take place... The Ibbotson sisters, Hester and Margaret, orphaned distant cousins of Mr. Grey. Like in Jane Austen's novels, we see how the sisters are trying to advance themselves. In Victorian England, the chief way for women to "advance themselves" is to marry well. But will they succeed? And if they succeed, will they be happy?(Summary by Stav Nisser and Wikipedia) (22 hr 7 min)

chapter one was very good. but i could not understand much of what the reader said in chapter two because of her very strong accent. and when i realized she read more chapters i had to give up. i miss so much information from her accent that i would be lost trying to follow the story.

The story is really good but the main reader’s mispronouncing common words every other sentence is really grating. If he’d have pulled out a dictionary he’d have been fine.

Readers throughout the entire novel make this classic inaccessible. So disappointing.
