About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

With an introduction written and read by Katie Fforde.

Hero Wantage is desperate to change her fate.

When the dashing Lord Sherry proposes out of the blue, Hero is overjoyed—she'll escape a life as a governess and, once they wed, he can finally claim his inheritance.

But as Hero attempts to social climb in glamorous London society, Sherry is concerned that her naivety will ruin them both and takes drastic action.

The chaos that follows will push friendships—and hearts—to breaking point.

I love this novel, the main characters are engaging, the supporting characters are wonderful funny and sweet, the writing is superb. Sadly, although this narrator, I'm sure, does his best, his diction is poor - gabbling, mispronouncing, and generally swallowing his words - so that if I hadn't known the story inside out I would have had difficulty following the plot in places. Penguin should have hired someone of the caibre of Cornelius Garret or Richard Armitage to read it.
