New audiobook: Abandoned, Guy de Maupassant

In late nineteenth-century Normandy, Madame de Cadour and d’Apreval return to a secret they have concealed for decades from society and their families. Their journey leads them to a remote farm where the son they once abandoned has grown into an adult. The narrative explores maternal guilt, belated remorse, social convention, the distance created by class and time, and the painful limits of restoring a bond broken long ago.
