About this listen

1740s France and England—the age of hedonism and enlightenment. Antonia must flee the Court of Versailles and the predatory schemes of the Comte de Salvan. She orchestrates an escape with the unwitting assistance of the all-powerful Duke of Roxton, a man she has been warned against as too dangerous for her to know.

Roxton is an unlikely savior—arrogant, promiscuous, and sinister. Antonia’s unquestioning belief in him may just be his salvation, and her undoing. A classic Beauty and the Beast tale, this prizewinning historical was inspired by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos’s Le Liaisons Dangereuses, and is a homage to Georgette Heyer’s These Old Shades.

Please note: This newly revised edition of Noble Satyr, which includes relevant bonus letters (from Eternally Yours), is required listening before embarking on the rest of the Roxton Foundation Series.

I read this book some years ago and enjoyed it very much, so when this audible version came out I was happy to revisit it. I had no idea that I’d lose a lot of sleep because I simply couldn’t stop listening! Mary Jane Wells performs every character so superbly that the story comes to life in one’s mind. From the very beginning, when we’re transported to Versailles at the time of Louis XV, I was enveloped in a time of gorgeous costumes, men and women in exquisite lace and silk, powdered wigs with fantastical decorations, embroidered satin slippers and red heeled shoes. The details of court life with its intrigue and debauchery, the difference between fabulous accommodation and awful rooms near the latrines - the opening chapters are a deliciously real visit to the royal court. A deep bow of acknowledgment to author Lucinda Brant’s superlative research! As the story moves to the luxurious mansion of the Duke of Roxton in Paris we suffer and celebrate with the beautiful Antonia, get annoyed with the haughty Duke, tuttut at his widowed sister Estée, warm to his best friend Vallentine and his valet Ellicot, and loathe the ghastly Comte de Salvan. Every character is completely believable. Will the delightful Antonia be able to persuade the Duke that her father trusted him to take care of her? She knows that he received a copy of her father’s Will, so why does he not care to acknowledge the responsibility? The Comte de Salvan is only too willing to step into the breach, but Antonia knows that a life of misuse and misery awaits her there. Antonia’s delightful personality begins to win over everyone around her, but there are many difficulties and serious danger ahead. The plot weaves the listener into such a fascinating and richly detailed world that I for one couldn’t bear to leave it. What a wonderful escape from daily routine and anxieties about current affairs! I can warmly recommend diving into this bygone but incredibly real world.

Couldn’t put it down

It’s been a while since I last visited Noble Satyr but I had to listen to this newest version before I could listen to the other three in the new foundation series. It’s beautifully narrated by Mary Jane Wells, who has captured Antonia perfectly.
So lovely to be back in the Roxton world. Antonia has always been my favourite character and I just love her relationship with Vallentine, Estee and of course her Duke.
Lucinda’s writing and attention to detail is just superb, her story telling is just simply a gift, one which I treasure.
Now to submerge myself in the next audiobook in the series…….His Duchess…..can’t wait!

Loved every minute

It was a great pleasure to relisten to the Noble Satyr, originally the prequel of the Roxton Family Saga and the first part of the Roxton Foundation Series.

The Roxton Saga starts in the 1740s and the story takes us from Versailles and Paris to London and the Roxton ducal residence in the English countryside. Get ready to be transported back in time and live in the atmosphere of intrigues and seduction of Versailles and taste London’s theatre life or stroll in a typical park of the Georgian era. Lucinda Brant’s novels are always well researched and show an in-depth knowledge of the era, as you will be convinced by all the detailed descriptions of events, places, interiors, clothing, society games and manners. A sheer delight for a Georgian era fan as myself.

The unlikely love story between the two main characters is interwoven with the stories and lives of other members of the large family headed by the Duke of Roxton. Several villains intervene in a variety of manners to stop the unfolding of an anyway unlikely romance. Can an arrogant, cynical and notorious womaniser middle aged Duke and the beautiful, well-educated and very outspoken Antonia find happiness together? You might guess the answer for the outcome, but what counts is their journey all along the novel. I guaranty you won’t be bored for one single moment. I do not want to spoil anyone’s pleasure in discovering the twists and turns of this story of intrigues and love sprinkled with witty conversations, sparkling humour, some suspense and romance between several potential and confirmed couple.

Adding the related eight letters from the “Eternally Yours” volume of letters was an excellent idea as they complement the story and provide not only additional information to the story and about the relationships between some of the characters but also insights into the characters of Antonia’s relatives.

Mary Jane Well’s gives life to the characters of the novel portraying each character with a unique voice suitable to their traits of character. Her performance is enhanced by the French accent used for the French speaking characters and conversations in French – just enough to make the point but without overexaggerating it so that the narration is always comprehensible and enjoyable.

This is the perfect recipe for more than twelve hours of entertainment.

I have just finished listening to the extremely talented Mary Jane Wells' re-telling of Noble Satyr & enjoyed it hugely. Her narration of Antonia is spot on. She has caught exactly the whimsical, joyful, optimistic & fun-loving character who so captivates the attention of the Duke of Roxton. The intonation in her voicing of Antonia with the sighs and shrugs that is so 'French' is perfect. I thought she also enhanced and promoted Vallentine's ebullient personality so well, it made me laugh out loud. This is a book that I have read on many occasions, so is very dear to my heart. MJW's rendition is a pleasure to listen to and anyone who is new to this recording will very much enjoy it. The storyline I will leave to fellow reviewers to explain, other than to say it is very well written, with rich and interesting characters and a wonderful story full of suspense, intrigue, ne'er do wells, friendship & ultimately, love. Lucinda Brant's attention to historical detail is always impressive and the inclusion of the letters written between parties within the book really enhance & benefit the story. Enjoy!

A wonderful re-telling of Noble Satyr
