About this book
A Bachelor's Dream by Unknown opens with a wry, magnetic glimpse into bachelorhood and the small domestic dramas that upend a comfortable life. Set against the bustling streets and tidy villas of late 19th-century England, this literary fiction follows Doctor Brudenell as an ordinary errand becomes the catalyst for comic dilemmas and quiet reflections.
The story sketches a vivid social tableau—from the ever-practical housekeeper Mrs. Jessop to the loyal servant Patrick—and explores themes of solitude, social expectation, and the subtle power of household routines. With gentle satire and keen observation, the narrative balances humor and pathos as it examines how a single choice can ripple through manners, reputation, and private habit. The tone evokes classic Victorian short fiction while delivering a compact, character-driven tale that privileges mood and nuance over plot twists.
Ideal for listeners who love classic literature, period fiction, or character-focused short stories, A Bachelor's Dream offers an engaging, portable drama perfect for commutes or a cozy evening. Listen for its warm voice, sharp social detail, and quietly satisfying portrait of everyday life.
