About this listen
In Sybil, or The Two Nations, social activist, political reformer, and twice-prime minister Benjamin Disraeli tells the love story of a young working-class woman and a newly elected nobleman.
While on a visit to the manufacturing towns of the north, aristocrat Charles Egremont encounters beautiful Sybil Gerard singing in the grounds of Marney Abbey. Graceful and angelic, Sybil Gerard is a symbol of religious purity. He also meets her father, a working-class radical, who tells him about the division of England into two nations: the rich and the poor.
Moved by the episode, Egremont investigates the conditions of the working poor and witnesses the disturbing after-effects of the Industrial Revolution. He attempts to address the deep disparity, while falling increasingly in love with Sybil; however, his courtship is pitted against growing political unrest and violence caused by the calamitous two-nation divide.

Past is prologue
Unusual storytelling incorporating a great sweep of history into the Victorian novel. So much in Sybil remains strangely relevant in modern Britain and America of 2022.

informative inspiring gripping in. places
great narrator carrying the reader and enhancing the quality and enjoyment. Frederick's confession and discovery was a profound moment which changed the direction of the narrative and I liked the final words reflecting hope in our young to follow through.
