Daniel Defoe's classic satire, here read by Jan Francis, tells the tale of Moll Flanders—her seductions, marriages, and liaisons, and the journey to her mother in Virginia where it becomes clear that Moll has, without realizing, married her own brother. Our resourceful heroine goes to and from America meeting highwaymen, pickpockets, and dastardly rogues in a wonderful picaresque romp that is one of the most enjoyable and enduring classic novels.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
Defoe's tale of a tawdry, wayward, and criminal little wench known in some circles as Moll Flanders rolls out of the lips of the talented Jan Francis as vividly and luridly as any tabloid confessional of the modern day. Francis unhesitatingly unfolds Moll's progressively more sinful lifestyle with assurance and contrition, spiking conscience with a pleasant undertone of illicit pleasure. Listeners will also enjoy a colorful vision of life in days past--a simpler time of stricter morals and a more stringent social code. While Moll unflinchingly exposes her sins, both large and small, we hear her conscience grow increasingly strong as she ages in this fine performance by Francis.
