 Recorded books and one-click digital present only a promise. A Survivors Club novel by Mary Balog. Narrated by Roslyn Landor. Chapter 1 There could surely be nothing worse than having been born a woman, Chloe Muir had thought, with unabashed self-pity, as she sucked a globule of blood off her left forefinger, and looked to see if any more was about to bubble up and threatened to ruin the strip of delicate lace she was sewing back onto one of the Duchess of Worthingham's best afternoon caps. Unless, perhaps, one had the good fortune to be a Duchess, or else a single lady in possession of £40,000 a year, and the freedom to set out one's own independent establishment. Sample complete.
