“ሳቤላ”

Haile Selassie Mehari/Mahri ወደ Amharic endeአልteregomew.
መታሰቢያነቱ ለSeble: For how much you disliked Barbara Hare; and how much I loved her.

Chapter 1: The Lady Isabel
Chapter 2: The Broken cross
Chapter 3: Barbara Hare
Chapter 4: The Moonlight Interview
Chapter 5: Mr. Carlyle’s Office
Chapter 6: Richard Hare, the Younger
Continue listening to the audio-book or read the Unabridged version of Mrs. Henry Wood’s, East Lynne online. Or watch an older free version of the movie hereunder and try not to be too upset with how “plain Jane” the character who plays Barbara is.

Haha. I used to actually go to the library, in the guise fo “studying” to read “sabela”. The fate of “Miskinu richard hare” was so dramatic and picturesque, it used to keep me awaka at night. Thank you for putting the links here. More please! 🙂

No.. sorry.. Welloye. I tried “Diane and Bruno”. I tried “Diane and bruno victorian British literature”. Then gave “Dian.. miste eko nesh” a try. Nothing forthcame. But thanks for reminding me of that book. I remember how I confused it with “Sabela”; when i came across the later the first time. The similarities between the two [young beautiful brides married to men they weren’t in love with, nasty sister-in-laws, Gretna Green] were cunning. Ah. Good times. Good times.

One of my uncles had this book when i was growing up, but he was really antsy about anybody touching his stuff so never got around to reading it. Always had the impression Sahle Silassie, the Afersata guy, was the translator.

I remember the night I finished reading this. I was in 6th grade, it was a school night and I had snuck the book with me to bed. I stayed up late reading it and sobbing at the end that I had a splitting headache when i got up in the morning. That last scene (spoiler alert!) where she begs him for forgiveness so that she can die peacefully is forever etched in my memory. Thanks so much for sharing this Abesheet, it stirred up so many memories *sigh*.

My pleasure, Mitti.
Lol @ Miss Corny, ebdu. Yeah… she is something else. And one of the most lovable [almost anti-hero] characters I have come across.

I don’t know how I end up here but my 6 years old self read this book and left traumatized for life. I recently figured out why my mind always triggered on small things and feel like I have to watch over my self constantly or I will lose the most precious thing in my hand by my stupid mistakes. I don’t know if anybody relates to this or its just me. This book traumatized me for life. But I never hated Barbara.
