    The Smile of La Gioconda

    Written by Morley Roberts

    Narrated by Cathy Dobson

    ()

    About this audiobook

    Morley Roberts (1857-1942) was an adventurer who worked on railways, cattle, and sheep ranches all over Africa and the Americas and still found time to write a large number of very varied novels and stories with a zest that only real-life experience can give.

    In "The Smile of La Gioconda" he is concerned with the subtle psychological aspects of the love triangle and the perils of repressed emotions.
