About this audiobook
Eleanor M. Ingram's "The Game and the Candle" unfolds a rich tapestry of human relationships set against the backdrop of early 20th-century society.

Ingram invites readers to reflect on the tender yet tumultuous human experience, urging us to confront the choices we make and the lives we touch in our quest for authenticity.
