About this listen

Immerse yourself in the heart-wrenching romantic melodrama of Joan Haste, one of H. Rider Haggards most touching love stories. Follow the journey of Joan, a stunning yet illegitimate woman raised by a cruel aunt and uncle after the early death of her mother and the absence of her father. In the haunting ruins of a dilapidated church, Joan encounters navy Captain Henry Graves while trying to reach a jackdaw nest perched high on a crumbling bell tower. Captivated by her beauty, Henry gallantly offers to retrieve the baby birds but suffers a fall that breaks his leg. In a desperate attempt to save him, Joan is injured, sparking a profound and passionate love between them. Join us as we explore their poignant tale of love and sacrifice. (Summary by Elroi Shelley)
