A Lost Lady is the portrait of a frontier woman who reflects the conventions of her age even as she defies them.
To the people of Sweet Water, a fading railroad town on the Western plains, Mrs. Forrester is the resident aristocrat, at once gracious and comfortably remote. To her aging husband she is a treasure whose value increases as his powers fail. To Niel Herbert, who falls in love with her as a boy and becomes her confidant as a man, Mrs. Forrester is by turns steadfast and faithless, dazzling and pathetic: a woman whose charm is intertwined with a terrifying vulnerability.
Stephen Dexter does a great job performing the story with a wonderful southern accent and individual voices/tones for each character. As if he was sitting in the room with you relating the story while you went on about your day. The pace was perfect and you felt relaxed and at ease.
