About this listen

 In this captivating tale, the narrator intriguingly declares, You are the expert in the psychological wilderness, addressing Marlow, the novels keen observer and commentator on the complexities of human behavior. Chance delves into the lives of various characters — some driven by good intentions, others blinded by their own idealism, and a few outright exploitative — all of whom impact the fate of Flora de Barrall. Flora, an innocent young woman, is the only child of a strikingly unremarkable yet self-deceiving fraudster, whose true nature reveals itself to be quite sinister. As Marlow reflects on the actions of those who intersect with Floras life, his insights are often dryly humorous and thought-provoking. Chance marks Conrads first major success, showcasing his ability to connect with readers through accessible storytelling. - Summary by Peter Dann
