Taken at the Flood, by Mary Elizabeth Braddon (1835 - 1915)

This project is now complete. All audio files can be downloaded from the catalog page here:

https://librivox.org/taken-at-the-flood-by-mary-elizabeth-braddon/
Brought up by a parish schoolmaster with a hidden past, Sylvia Carew dreams of a future devoid of poverty. Will she be faithful to the man she adores or will she opt for the chance at wealth and position? What lengths will she go to and when all is said and done, will she be gratified with her "happily ever after"? Romance, ambition and greed, deceit and selfishness are at the root of this sensational Victorian novel by Braddon. As usual she manages to keep us in suspense until her well constructed surprise ending. (Summary by Celine Major)

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Hi guys!!!!

I guess there's no point in waiting. I've uploaded the first 4 sections to give you a running start but that does not mean you have to race through them.

I should warn you Helen that you will need your BIG DPL pants for this one. :D It's a a super long one!!!

More important though, I hope you enjoy it!!!

Happy weekend everyone!!! Hope it's not as wet as mine is.
