About These Twain

Hildas life takes a dramatic turn when Edwin Clayhanger rescues her from the brink of destitution by marrying her. Now living in Bursley with Hildas son from her tumultuous marriage to George Cannon, the couple faces the complexities of their new life together. Although Edwin strives for a harmonious marriage, Hildas outspoken nature and her strong opinions on traditionally male-dominated topics—like Edwin’s business—create tension between them. She often acts independently, which leads Edwin to question their partnership, echoing the frustrations he once felt with his father. These Twain explores their struggle for compromise, cleverly playing on the dual meanings of its title are they truly united, or are they still two separate individuals? The narrative raises the question of whether both Hilda and Edwin have become too entrenched in their ways before their union, even as each finds a form of salvation in their relationship.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
