About this listen

 The case of Jarndyce and Jarndyce has ground its way through the courts for generations. At its heart are Ada Clare and Richard Carstone, who find love - and terrible loss - through their involvement in the endless battle.

Meanwhile, her friend Esther Summeson, who believes she is an orphan, gradually discovers the truth of her identity. The court case throws out a web ensnaring all who come near it, including Lady Dedlock, the menacing lawyer Tulkingham, detective Bucket and tragic little waif Jo.

Secrets emerge, crimes are committed and love affairs bloom. But will anyone ever benefit from the case of Jarndyce and Jarndyce?

Highly recommended

The narrator does characters' voices with accents and mannerisms. It's effective for keeping straight who's who, but at times I would have preferred less manner and more intelligibility. Yet overall I found this highly persuasive and recommend it. When I reread Bleak House on the page, I will hear the narrator's characterizations in my head.
