Behind a Mask -Or- A Woman's Power by Louisa May Alcott, A.M. Barnard

4.0

A.M. Barnard was the pen name for Louisa May Alcott, and, sampling the style that was her bread and butter before she wrote better known classics, I fully appreciate her flare for the dramatic.

Summer reading would be incomplete without a few audio books! BJ Harrison, of Classic Tales Podcast, serves up this sensational story with style and delightful vocal characterization. Eligible man in possession of a fortune: check. Charming governess who is more that she appears: check. English countryside: check!

Earbuds in, I walked miles and painted walls in delight, listening to the adventures of the artful Jean Muir. How would this title fare in a feminist book club? That's what I wonder.
