About this book
Daisy Burns (Volume 2) by Julia Kavanagh invites listeners back into a quietly intense Victorian novel where memory, conscience, and the complexities of female friendship collide. The narrator revisits youthful resentments and confesses how long-buried animosities warped her judgment, uncovering a story of regret, re-evaluation, and the slow work of sympathy.
Set in mid-19th-century society, Kavanagh’s literary fiction digs beneath domestic routines to reveal moral dilemmas, class expectations, and the duties that bind women to family and community. Central figures—like the misunderstood Miriam, devoted to a blind nurse and patient with an infirm aunt—are drawn with psychological acuity: generous, stoic, flawed, and quietly heroic. Volume 2 deepens the novel’s themes of charity, endurance, and conscience without sacrificing the warmth and social observation that defined Kavanagh’s work.
Perfect for fans of Victorian novels, classic literature, and character-driven social drama, this audiobook offers thoughtful narration and rich moral insight. Listen if you enjoy intimate first-person storytelling, nuanced female perspectives, and novels that probe how the past reshapes the present.
