from The Book Reader · host The Reader Studio

A Strange World by Mary Elizabeth Braddon audiobook. Genre: mystery In Victorian England, seventeen-year-old Justina Elgood has grown up under the footlights, touring with her worn-down actor-father, Matthew, and dreaming of a life that feels more real than painted scenery and nightly applause. When a chance meeting in the countryside introduces her to two very different young gentlemen, the earnest James and the thoughtful Maurice Clissold, Justina glimpses a world of comfort, education, and choice - and begins to wonder what she might become if she could step off the stage for good. But Maurice is drawn into darker country-house shadows: the lonely reach of Penwyn Manor, a suffering family with a history it refuses to name, and a frightened household where illness and old grief have sharpened into secrecy. As Justina's career edges toward success, whispers of a long-ago scandal, a missing child, and strange connections between respectable lives and theatrical ones tighten around her. Love, ambition, and identity collide as Maurice searches for the truth - and discovers that in this strange world, the past is never safely buried, and innocence can be the most dangerous disguise of all.
