About this audiobook
Sir Robert Chiltern has a glittering political career, a fortune, and the adoration of his idealistic wife, Gertrude. But when the enigmatic Mrs. Cheveley arrives in London, she brings with her a letter that could destroy everything. Years ago, a young and ambitious Chiltern sold a cabinet secret—and that crime is the foundation of his success .
Now Mrs. Cheveley wants payback: his public support for a fraudulent canal scheme, or she exposes the truth . As Chiltern's world unravels, only his witty, seemingly idle friend Lord Goring sees the way out. But in a society obsessed with reputation, can a man be forgiven his past? And can a woman love anyone less than perfect?
Oscar Wilde's brilliant comedy blends razor-sharp wit with a moving plea for compassion . Beneath the epigrams about fashion and folly lies a serious question: is it the flawless, or the flawed, who most deserve our love?
