Adeline Mowbray by Amelia Opie audiobook.

Genre: tragedy

In Amelia Opie's Adeline Mowbray, a brilliant, warm-hearted young woman comes of age under the influence of bold new ideas about reason, independence, and marriage. Raised by a mother who prizes enlightened principles over convention, Adeline is encouraged to question the social rules that govern love and respectability. When she encounters the charismatic writer and thinker Glenmurray, Adeline is drawn into a relationship that seems to promise moral sincerity without the constraints of law or ceremony. But the world beyond the salon is less forgiving than the world of theory. As Adeline tries to live honestly according to her beliefs, she faces gossip, legal vulnerability, and the quiet cruelty of polite society - pressures that test her pride, her compassion, and her sense of self. Moving between intimate domestic scenes and public scrutiny, the novel follows Adeline's shifting friendships, painful reckonings, and hard-won insight into the gap between ideals and lived experience. At once a critique of hypocrisy and a portrait of a woman struggling to define her own life, Opie's story asks what it costs to defy custom, and who pays the price when principle collides with prejudice.

The Adventures of a Dog, and a Good Dog, Too by Alfred Elwes audiobook.

Genre: family

Told as the autobiography of a streetwise dog named Job, The Adventures of a Dog, and a Good Dog, Too begins in the curious city of Caneville, where dogs have their own society, rivalries, and rules. Job grows up hungry and unwanted, learning to scavenge, avoid bullies, and survive rough treatment without letting bitterness harden him. Framed by an introduction from the feline editor Miss Minette Gattina, Job's plainspoken account follows him through a string of trials - quarrels over food, fights he never sought but cannot always escape, sudden changes of fortune, and moments when courage means choosing restraint instead of revenge. Along the way, Job discovers how easily strength can become cruelty, and how difficult it is to stay honest when the world rewards swagger and violence. As danger rises in Caneville, including a sweeping natural emergency that tests every creature's instincts, Job is pushed toward a life defined not by luck but by duty. Part animal adventure, part moral fable, this 19th century tale celebrates loyalty, compassion, and the hard-earned dignity of being good when no one is watching.

Genre: drama

The hero is Mr Priam Farll, a painter of considerable ability. He is, however, extremely shy – so shy that when his valet, Henry Leek, dies suddenly, the doctor believes the dead man to be Priam Farll and the live man the valet. The artist does not try to disabuse him. After the funeral (in Westminster Abbey), Priam Farll marries a widow and lives a happy life until the loss of his wife’s money means he has to take up painting again. A connoisseur of art recognises his style but thinks the paintings are by an imposter. He makes a fortune by buying his works through a small dealer and selling them in America as genuine. Meanwhile Priam Farll refuses through his obstinate shyness to prove his own identity.
