About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

April Lady is read by Tanya Reynolds, star of Sex Education.

Nell Cardross and her husband are madly in love....

But they're very bad at showing it. While Nell believes her new husband, the Earl, married her out of convenience, Giles Cardross worries that his young wife is more interested in his money than his heart.

And Nell's secretive and extravagant spending is becoming a problem....

As she attempts to pay off her brother's never-ending gambling debts and prevent the Earl's half-sister from eloping with a potentially ruinous match, will Nell's heart of gold lead her - and her marriage - into trouble?

Critic reviews

"If you haven't read Georgette Heyer yet, what a treat you have in store!" Harriet Evans

"One of my perennial comfort authors. Heyer's books are as incisively witty and quietly subversive as any of Jane Austen's." (Joanne Harris)

I’ve had the original narration of this book for sometime now and listened to it a number of times but it was never a favourite. However this time with the narration by Tanya Reynolds I enjoyed more than ever before. She brought the whole book alive for me and I discovered bits I don’t recall ever hearing before. It was a pleasure to listen to.

Lovely New Narrator

Sadly, as with so many of Georgette Heyer’s charming Georgian romances this book is so badly read as to make it almost impossible to listen to. Why the reader couldn’t have done a little research about the period, before taking on the job of performing this book completely defeats me 😱

Love Georgette Heyer, she just deserves better readers!

Misunderstandings in the marriage of Lord and Lady Cardross lead to one disaster after another.
The feather brained teenage sister of Giles only makes matters worse.
Highly entertaining story and accurate description of the Regency era ❤❤❤❤

An excellent Regency story

I have a previous version of this audio book but it's hit and miss throughout the story.
As with another listeners review, most of this narration is much better than the previous one and brings out the best in the story

This is best narration of this book so far
