Bloomsbury presents Mrs Robinson's Disgrace by Kate Summerscale, read by Stephanie Racine.
When the married Isabella Robinson was introduced to the dashing Edward Lane at a party in 1850, she was utterly enchanted. He was ‘fascinating’, she told her diary, before chastising herself for being so susceptible to a man’s charms. But a wish had taken hold of her, and she was to find it hard to shake...
In one of the most notorious divorce cases of the nineteenth century, Isabella Robinson’s scandalous secrets were exposed to the world. Kate Summerscale brings vividly to life a frustrated Victorian wife’s longing for passion and learning, companionship and love, in a society clinging to rigid ideas about marriage and female sexuality.

They may not have been forced to wear shackles or work in the cotton fields, but in many ways, women were akin to slaves with very few options in life.
A story well told by a gifted author and superbly read by the narrator.
Thank goodness we live now and not then
