About this listen

In the heart of the English countryside, our heroine, Anne Garland, enjoys a peaceful life until the unexpected arrival of military regiments preparing for an impending invasion turns her world upside down. Anne, a graceful and captivating young woman, finds herself torn between three suitors John Loveday, the honorable trumpet-major of a British regiment; his charming but reckless brother Robert, a merchant seaman; and the cowardly Festus Derriman, the local squires son. Set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic wars, this unique historical novel by Hardy offers a refreshing twist, as some characters ultimately find their happily ever after. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia by Cori Samuel.)
