CLARA VAUGHAN, the young heroine, narrator, and namesake for R. D. Blackmore’s early detective novel, is determined to solve the mystery of her father’s murder—a crime that occurred when she was only 10 years of age. The book gives an account of Clara’s adventures, romances, and encounters with many eccentric characters, when, years later, she devotes herself to unraveling the mystery. As Clara states at the beginning of Chapter II, “How that deed was done, I learned at once, and will tell. By whom and why it was done, I have given my life to learn.” R. D. Blackmore, undoubtedly better known for his later novel LORNA DOONE, published this book anonymously in 1864. (Summary by lubee930) (5 hr 50 min)

Clara Vaughn, Volume I

(4 Sterne)
Still in the midst of my R. D. Blackmore marathon. Volume 1 (of 3) is quite intriguing. A beloved 10 year old girl loses her father to a murder, and a cold uncle steps in to take over the life and property of mother and child. Life becomes miserable for them. The first volume takes us into Clara’s young adulthood, obsessed with finding her father’s murderer, as she makes her way in the world, collecting unique friendships along the way. On to Volume II .
I just can't wait for part 2

Richard Doddridge Blackmore created a wonderful young Clara Vaughn character(no doubt from his observations of real children). I have never been so amused by a child character with such honest and irascible replies, and actions towards the block headed and week personality adults and children who come in and out of "her society". And such a lovable child to the people whom understood and loved her. Lynne Thompson read wonderfully the first chapters. And gratitude to all the readers, librivox and IA

Please read so listeners can understand what you say. Yes we understand some of the text is written in dialogue but there is no point in making the accent so strong by as to be unintelligible. Most readers are quite good, but one is a challenge to listen to. Chapter 15 in particular.
