The Confessions of Frannie Langton: The Costa-shortlisted ‘dazzling page-turner’ (Emma Donoghue) Audiobook (Free)

Penguin presents the audiobook model of The Confessions of Frannie Langton, written and read by Sara Collins.

They say I have to be put to death for what happened to Madame, plus they want me to confess. But how can I confess what I don’t believe I’ve done?

1826, and all of London is within a frenzy. Crowds gather at the gates from the Aged Bailey to view as Frannie Langton, maid to Mr and Mrs Benham, continues on trial for their murder. The testimonies against her are damning – slave, whore, seductress. Plus they may be the truth. But they aren’t the whole truth.

For the very first time Frannie need to tell her story. It starts with a woman learning how to read on a plantation in Jamaica, and it ends in a grand home in London, where a beautiful woman waits to be freed.

But through her fevered confessions, one burning up question haunts Frannie Langton: could she possess murdered the just person she ever loved?
