About this listen

Harry Flashman: the unrepentant bully of Tom Brown’s schooldays, now with a Victoria Cross, has three main talents – horsemanship, facility with foreign languages and fornication. A reluctant military hero, Flashman plays a key part in most of the defining military campaigns of the 19th century, despite trying his utmost to escape them all.

When our hero Flashman accepts an invitation from his old enemy, Tom Brown of Rugby, to join in a friendly cricket match, he does not suspect that he is letting himself in for the most desperate game of his scandalous career.

What follows is a deadly struggle that sees him scampering from the hallowed wicket of Lord’s to the jungle lairs of Borneo pirates; from a Newgate hanging to the torture pits of Madagascar, and from Chinatown’s vice dens to slavery in the palace of ‘the female Caligula’ herself, Queen Ranavalona of Madagascar.

Had he known what lay ahead, Flashman would never have taken up cricket seriously.

Critic reviews

'The Flashman Papers do what all great sagas do – winning new admirers along the way but never, ever betraying old ones. It is an immense achievement.' Sunday Telegraph

‘Not so much a march as a full-blooded charge, fortified by the usual lashings of salty sex, meticulously choreographed battle scenes and hilariously spineless acts of self preservation by Flashman.’ Sunday Times

‘Not only are the Flashman books extremely funny, but they give meticulous care to authenticity. You can, between the guffaws, learn from them.’ Washington Post

‘A first-rate historical novelist’ Kingsley Amis

What did you like most about Flashman's Lady?

Great evocation of early cricket matches and, as ever, GMF knows how to pace a book. It's a great shame the actor reading it isn't any where near good enough. Wrong voice and some awful reading gaffes [ doesn't anyone monitor the recordings ]
Get Timothy West to read them.I heard the best Flashman [ for me ] F in the Great Game
read by him and the voice is spot on.

How could the performance have been better?

Differant reader.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No.

Flashy

Extremely enjoyable as usual. Swash buckling cowardice at its best. Narrator is excellent with many a voice acted to my amusement.

watch out for the accents highly amusing

An excellent story narrated colourfully by Colin Mace. My only gripe is the variance in the volume. When characters are whispering it's very difficult to hear what's being said, so I turn up the volume. A few minutes later Flashman is shouting and I am dashing across the room to turn the volume back down so as not to wake up the other half. Otherwise, splendid.

Having read many Harry Flashman books I was over the moon, and a little surprised to be honest, to find his adventures on Audible. Thoroughly enjoyed it!!

Absolute corker!
