Aurora Floyd (Oxford World's Classics (Paperback))
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
After "Lady Audley's Secret", this is considered to be one of the finest of Mary Braddon's 70 novels. Wild, beautiful young Aurora elopes with a no-good horse trainer, commits bigamy, is blackmailed and is suspected of murder. My, but she's busy! Eleven 90-minute cassettes and one 60.

Download Description
Is not life altogether a long comedy, with Fate for the stage-manager, and Passion, Inclination, Love, Hate, Revenge, Ambition, and Avarice, by turns, in the prompter's box? A tiresome comedy sometimes, with dreary, talkee, talkee front scenes which come to nothing, but only serve to make the audience more impatient as they wait while the stage is set and the great people change their dresses; or a "sensation" comedy, with unlooked-for tableaux and unexpected dénoûments; but a comedy to the end of the chapter, for the sorrows which seem tragic to us are very funny when seen from the other side of the foot-lights.
