About this listen

When the beautiful Lady Isabella Scranford finds herself in the family way and her lover refuses to do the honorable thing, she knows her life is at an end. With a reputation for being a cold-hearted bitch, there will be no sympathy for her, only shame and ridicule. Finding that even her best - and only - friend refuses to be associated with her any longer, Isabella decides she cannot go on and makes a fateful decision.

Henry Barbour is known locally as the Bear of Barcham Wood. Living alone in the vast and decaying splendor of Barcham Place, surrounded by wilderness and woodland, he inspires such tales of madness that no one locally will go near the once grand house.

When a filthy and frightening man rescues Isabella from drowning, she begins to believe her fate has taken an even darker turn. Yet appearances can be deceptive, and an unlikely bond is created between two damaged souls who need to hide from the world.

As Isabella comes to understand the meaning of compassion, she begins to realize the most important things in life are not at all what she expected them to be.

I have most of the Rogues and Gentlemen series by Emma V Leech and cannot praise them enough, I only hope the rest of these wonderful stories find themselves into Audible with great haste, and please please please do not change the narrator of these delightful tales as I could listen to Philip Battley talk for hours, which indeed I have done.

Well written and enthralling.

Most of the characters are familiar if you have read the previous books. This one I liked best as it took a subject that is usually grossly misrepresented and treated it with respect and realism. Now we recognised that depending on where you are on the Autistic Scale, your symptoms vary. In those days you were considered mad, but then you could be locked up for having a serious stammer. This author has portrait those diffences and slightly linked them to Post Traumatic Syndrome. However, one might be overcome, the other has to be dealt with. She shows people can live a productive life, if left alone in their own safe parameters. I usually avoid such stories as the person is not understood and comes across as an extreme eccentric.

Worth listening, it is well read.

I really enjoyed the way the issues of the characters are resolved as the story unfolds. The heroes of other Rogues & Gentlemen books also appear,which makes their world seem more real. There are a lot of laughs and pain & beauty on the journey this story takes- I loved it!

Emma V Leech is a great story writer and Philip Battley is a super story teller.

I went along with the story until the father of the heroine's child attempts to claim it even though it was born legitemately as the heroine married the hero before the child was born. The lynch mob scenario was a step too far. This is rural England, not the Wild West. The narrator is quite good.

Outlandish
