Tommy Trafford Proposes to Me

An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde audiobook.

Genre: comedy

In the glittering drawing rooms of late-Victorian London, Sir Robert Chiltern seems to have everything: a brilliant political career, a spotless public reputation, and the devoted love of his wife, Lady Chiltern, who believes in honor without compromise. But their carefully composed world begins to tremble when Mrs. Cheveley, a clever and dangerous society woman with a talent for leverage, arrives with information that could ruin Sir Robert overnight. As whispers spread and alliances shift, Sir Robert must choose between protecting his position and telling the truth to the person whose opinion matters most. Caught in the middle is Lord Goring, a witty bachelor and close friend to the Chilterns, whose charm and apparent frivolity conceal a sharper sense of loyalty and strategy. With epigrams as sharp as daggers and manners that mask motives, Wilde turns social comedy into a biting examination of hypocrisy, ambition, and the price of moral perfection. As pressure mounts and secrets threaten to surface, the characters must confront what an 'ideal' person really is - and what it costs to maintain that illusion.
