When her parents go to India for two years, 9 year old Jenny is cared for by her aunts. Aunt Abby is caretaker in a manor house, now converted to a rest home, where Jenny meets, and hears the stories of, the interesting occupants of the many rooms. The owner's daughter, now middle-aged, is remote in both location and character. She visits only occasionally, but what was the story of her childhood, and how will she react to Jenny's presence? The House with the Twisting Passage is a wonderful set of standalone children's stories encompassed within a larger story. ( Carod)
- Text source (only read from this text!): From physical book
- Type of proof-listening required (Note: please read the PL FAQ): standard
IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record 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!
