New audiobook: Miss Harriet, Guy de Maupassant

In a coastal village of Normandy in the late nineteenth century, the young painter Léon Chenal meets Miss Harriet, a solitary Englishwoman staying at a modest inn. Her austere faith, reserve, and unusual sensitivity to nature set her apart from those around her. Their restrained acquaintance brings forward themes of loneliness, unspoken emotion, beauty, and the difficulty of truly understanding another person.
