The House of the White Shadows by B. L. Farjeon audiobook. Genre: mystery Is a defense attorney bound to defend his client, or with his conscience, when he knows that the man he is defending is guilty of the charges against him after the trial has already commenced? And if friends hold a belief that he may have been aware of it before the trial commenced, yet they are endeared to the man and his family as upstanding and of the highest grade? Might it not become cause for blackmail, and therefore potential retribution? 'The House of White Shadows' brings these issues to the forefront, while the reader learns of the background of the advocate, his family history, and the house in question. The characters in the story, the history of the house, the truth behind the white shadows are all woven together in a fascinating manner to be brought to fruition as the books progress with dramatic insight and understanding. Mr. Farjeon's style is remarkable for its vivid realism. The London 'Athenæum' in a long and appreciative review styles him 'a master of realistic fiction.' On account of his sentiment and minute characterization he is regarded as a follower of the method of Dickens. No writer since that master can picture like Farjeon the touching and pathetic type of innocent childhood, pure in spite of miserable and squalid surroundings. He can paint, too, a scene of sombre horror so vividly that even Dickens himself could scarcely emulate its realism Chapters (Approximate) (00:00:00) Chapter 1 (00:33:12) Chapter 2 (01:08:56) Chapter 3 (01:43:51) Chapter 4 (02:17:55) Chapter 5 (02:47:32) Chapter 6 (03:18:59) Chapter 7 (03:43:01) Chapter 8 (04:10:28) Chapter 9 (04:28:30) Chapter 10 (04:50:09) Chapter 11 (05:31:10) Chapter 12 (06:00:42) Chapter 13 (06:44:26) Chapter 14 (07:05:21) Chapter 15 (07:34:14) Chapter 16 (08:10:02) Chapter 17 (08:50:56) Chapter 18 (09:26:14) Chapter 19 (09:51:32) Chapter 20 (10:17:07) Chapter 21 (10:36:45) Chapter 22 (11:18:56) Chapter 23 (11:44:05) Chapter 24 (12:15:02) Chapter 25 (12:36:33) Chapter 26 (13:00:49) Chapter 27 (13:41:06) Chapter 28 (14:15:36) Chapter 29 (15:04:43) Chapter 30 (15:25:42) Chapter 31 (15:52:43) Chapter 32 Learn more about your ad choices.
