Reading Wilkie Collins always reminds me of how far the popular imagination has moved since his day. The ghost in "Mrs Zant and The Ghost" is barely more than a suggestion. This isn't horrifying by modern standards of slash and splatter. Yet, allow yourself to imagine it actually happening to you, to find yourself confronted with such a presence and it becomes enough to change how you see the world. It's Collins' gift to help even someone with a palette as jaded as mine, taste that delicate shock. Mrs. Zant and the Ghost was a sweet little ghost story. Even though it wasn't scary, it was entertaining, and I thought that Gillian Anderson did a decent job of narrating the tale. A little bit more distinction between the voices would have been nice, but this book was short, so it was just a slight annoyance. Recommended for fans of ghost stories, (though I would recommend the volumes of M.R. James before this one.) Mrs. Zant and the Ghost By: Wilkie Collins Narrated by: Gillian Anderson This audible book has a lovely feel to it and hearing Gillian Anderson's voice adds to this richness, and lush appeal. It makes you feel you are back in 1930's, and overseas, where there is a prim and proper way to do everything. Ms Anderson's voice leads us on a mournful tale of a wife who recently lost her husband of just a short time. A brother-in-law that is trying to take advantage of her, and a widower that is just looking out for the sad woman. But she has a protector... A short story tells of boundless love, that is everlasting and immortal. The narrator makes you FEEL the story, she immerses the story into your bones. Excellent. I don't think I would have enjoyed the story half as much if I hadn't picked up the audible version with Anderson narrating. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Mrs. Zant has recently lost her beloved husband, and while walking in the Kensington Gardens, the spot where she and her deceased husband declared their love for each other, she feels his presence trying to warn her of some coming danger. Mr. Rayburn witnesses it all, and he'll have to fight his own incredulity regarding the supernatural and his gut feeling that the disturbed young woman is telling the truth. Brought to life by Golden Globe Award-winning actress Gillian Anderson (The X-Files), Mrs. Zant and the Ghost is the perfect Victorian ghost story. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Mrs Zant sees a ghost. Mr Rayburn sees a ghost. He thinks. Was it really? Something weird is definitely going on.
I listened to this last September while driving home to NC from OH on one of the many trips to and from after losing my mom in July. I honestly can’t remember a single thing about it. It is forgettable. I think there was a ghost? Maybe?
Writing: meh.
Plot: meh.
Narration: meh ( )
