About this listen
Propelled into society by his ever-hopeful father, Frank is introduced to a variety of professions in order to make his fortune. Not industrious by nature, however, Frank finds working life a challenge, and by his 25th birthday, he has failed medicine, portrait-painting, caricaturing, and even forgery. Disenchanted with life, he despairs of ever finding something to commit to — until he meets Alicia Dulcifer and her inexplicably wealthy father.
Proffering his own take on picaresque storytelling — and with many a grain of truth for 20-somethings today — this is Wilkie Collins at his entertaining best.

I bought this book over 4 years ago and didn't finish it and decided to try it again. this time I finished it.it was alright, not as good as the woman in white or even the two destinies.
it was slow to start and only stepped up the pace when the rogue fell in love and became involved in a crime..
not one of the best.

Narration is so slow and weary I worried the narrator might expire . It sounded more normal and engagingly paced at speed 1.1 or even 1.2 -without being rushed .
There are such enjoyable passages in here but it’s hard to keep going.
Slow version of rollicking tale
