This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
In the decadent world of Restoration London, Mr. Pinchwife, a jealous fool, locks away his young wife, Margery, from society's temptations. Enter Horner, a notorious rake with a cunning plan. He feigns impotence, gaining the trust of suspicious husbands like Pinchwife. Margery, yearning for excitement, seizes her newfound freedom, embarking on a whirlwind of witty banter, daring disguises, and scandalous encounters. As desires clash, secrets unravel, and laughter rings out, "The Country Wife" exposes the hypocrisy of the times, celebrates the power of wit, and satirizes the double standards that cage both women and men. Prepare to be swept away by a whirlwind of social satire, playful deception, and the irresistible allure of forbidden desire.
