Download The Poor Clare AudioBook Free

Formerly written for Charles Dickens' Household Words publication, The Low of the Clare is a dark, gothic brief book of thwarted love and a family curse that vividly illustrates the public tensions of Victorian England. The intentional killing of any woman's dog unleashes a torrent of trend. In her desire to have revenge, the woman curses the dog's killer: All that the murderer loves most, he'll lose. This haunting tale brilliantly shows Elizabeth Gaskell's knowledge of the tensions between Catholics and Protestants and the severe realities of class society.
