LibriVox recording of Emily Fox-Seton, by Frances Hodgson Burnett.
Read by Caroline Driggs.

Have you ever wondered what happened to Cinderella after she married the prince? Have you ever asked yourself if it was really "happy ever after?" Actually, in this Victorian melodrama, it's not. 35-years-old Emily Fox-Seton, quite penniless and a little lonely, saves herself from becoming an old maid by agreeing to a marriage proposal from the marquess of Walderhurst, thus becoming "one of the richest Marchionesses in England". She is naïve, kind and good. She doesn't believe that people are really willing to hurt her, but why are all these strange accidents happening?
This novel is divided into 2 parts. The first, "The Making Of A Marchioness" tells about the odd courtship of Emily and Lord Walderhurst. The second part, "The Methods of Lady Walderhurst", most of the book, tells what happens after… This adult fairy tale, which, by mistake, becomes a realistic novel, is a captivating book.
I wish you all a wonderful reading. (Summary by Stav Nisser)
