About this listen
John Harmon, in exile for many years, discovers that by a curious quirk in his father’s will he must marry Bella Wilfer, a girl he has never met, in order to claim his inheritance. Mistakenly thought to have drowned, on his return he gains employment with the kindly Mr Boffin under the assumed name of John Rokesmith and falls in love with the flighty and mercenary Bella, who scornfully rejects him as a mere impoverished secretary. But Boffin and his wife contrive a plan to help John and show Bella the error of her ways.

Gripping
Not only one of Dickens’ masterpieces, with original characters and fascinating interweaving plot-lines, but so beautifully read by Troughton. Pure joy!

Amazing!!!!
I’ve read/ listened to many Dickens’s novels but not come across this story before.
Thoroughly enjoyed it from the first to the last.
Wonderful story & characterisation as usual for Dickens but in this audible book it was brought to life sooooo beautifully by the narrator he is amazing!!! Would highly recommend

Wonderful characterisation by David Troughton
An interesting if quirky tale occasionally less than straight forward to follow when Dickens is at his most Highfalutin. This was made clearer and wonderfully entertaining by the reader, David Troughton’s exceptional characterisation of the dramatis personae. I hope to find he has narrated other classic novels.

Another classic from a great writer.
Dickens , as always, is well worth listening to. Not the easiest to follow all the characters and occasionally predictable but a master writer. What more can be said.

Magnificent
Dickens the hilariously funny and astute social critic at his best. And a long lesson in behavioural economics as a bonus. Engagingly read from start to finish. Highly recommended

Great Dickens
A very long listen but we’ll worth the effort and dedication. The reader carries the various and many characters with great skill. If you are a Dickens fan, do give it a go.
