About this listen

Old Martin Chuzzlewit is a wealthy man, yet his fortune has only brought him unhappiness. Estranged from his grandson, he finds himself in a precarious situation when news of his illness spreads, attracting a host of relatives he can’t stand—each eager to claim a slice of his wealth. Among them is his sycophantic cousin, Seth Pecksniff, who is all too willing to take advantage of Martins vulnerability by keeping other relatives at bay. Will this opportunist be the one who inherits Martin’s riches, or is there a deeper scheme at play? This captivating narrative weaves together treachery, chaos, and a hint of murder, all while celebrating genuine love and compassion. With Dickens signature humor and unforgettable characters, the story features despicable villains, charming heroes, and a cast that truly embodies the essence of Characters. (summary by Debra Lynn)
