Hi Patricia, glad to have you here!
I’m sure your friend isn’t the only one named for the book! I think I read somewhere that Richardson made up the name, so every Pamela is named after the character, knowingly or not.
I do a lot of audiobooks through my library and the Overdrive app on my phone, although I am doing my RomMFA reading in text so I can highlight and make notes. I haven’t checked for Pamela on Overdrive, but I bet it’s up there or on librivox.org. If you make a go of it, I’d love to hear what you think!

Of course my friend is in her 70s so that means her mom truly read this book in a different time, different place than where we are today.

I’m not sure I want to slog through it, but I love audiobooks. I might listen if it’s available. I’m signing up to get notifications of your blod updates. I’m glad to discover you!
