About this listen

 Dive into Charles Dickens vivid exploration of selfishness through the Chuzzlewit family saga. Old Martin Chuzzlewit, a wealthy patriarch, finds himself surrounded by greedy relatives, particularly the scheming Seth Pecksniff. Meanwhile, his grandson, young Martin, faces disinheritance after falling in love with his grandfathers ward, Mary. This unexpected twist sends him on an adventurous journey to America, where he will return transformed. Will love triumph over family greed? Along the way, encounter the nefarious Jonas Chuzzlewit, young Martins conniving cousin, and the comically chaotic nurse Sarah Gamp, often found in a tipsy state. Join us for a tale filled with intrigue, romance, and humor. - Summary by Brad J Filippone
