Someone at a Distance

"Someone at a Distance" by Dorothy Whipple, narrated by Susan Wooldridge, is her final and acclaimed novel that explores the subtle unraveling of a marriage through the perspectives of its characters, especially the women involved. The story begins with the North family’s seemingly tranquil life, which is gradually challenged when a new visitor, Louise Lanier, arrives and her intent to seduce threatens their harmony. Part of the Persephone Audiobook Collection, this 1953 classic delves into themes of relationships and personal dynamics, complemented by a preface from Nina Bawden.
