The Queen of Hearts
(eAudiobook)
Description
Wilkie Collins' The Queen of Hearts is a unique blend of storytelling and suspense, structured as a series of tales framed by a larger narrative. The book begins with three elderly brothers, anxious about the future of their young ward, Jessie. To delay her marriage and distract her, they take turns telling a series of captivating stories-tales filled with romance, mystery, crime, and adventure. Each embedded story carries Collins' signature flair for intrigue, often featuring mistaken identities, hidden crimes, and moral dilemmas. While the shorter tales entertain on their own, together they form a mosaic that reflects the brothers' love and protective concern for Jessie. The frame narrative binds them into a meditation on storytelling itself-the ways in which fiction can reveal truth, shape emotions, and influence decisions.
