But with the support of Edward’s friend David, and Alexander Glendale, one of Gertie’s spurned suitors, Gertie finds the strength of character to fight for her family and, ultimately, to hold on to her dreams…

"Har precis startat en provperiod hos Storytel och det är det bästa jag någonsin gjort. Att lyssna ger mig full koncentration på boken samtidigt som jag kan pyssla med annat."
"Det bästa som har hänt mig på länge. Dessutom lyssnar jag på böcker som jag nog aldrig hade kommit mig för att läsa annars. Jag lyssnar i bilen, på promenaden eller när jag städar."
