About this listen

An historical romance set in London and the English countryside with remarkable nuance and descriptions about dress, parties, houses, men and women and their dealings with each other, with special insights into marriage. A wonderful ode to our better selves and what we can be if we move beyond the bumps and bruises in life.

Love this GH story but it’s ruined by the narrator...don’t buy this .. hopefully it will be withdrawn for a better version. If I could return it I would ...

Story murdered by the narrator!

I couldn't listen to more than five minutes of this book, sadly. The narrator sounds like he is in a large room and hasn't a suitable voice for character reading effectively.
That coupled with the repetitive music in the background which after a few minutes was still highly distracting. I skipped to chapter 20 and the music was still there.
Hence I haven't any idea whether the story was good because I gave up.

Oh dear!

A good story ruined by background monotonous music and poor narration.. Pauses in the wrong places and lack of fluency. Don't know whether I'll be able to listen to end.

absolutely hideous, I literally could not listen to it. It was not the American voice, which does jar with a quintessentially English story. It was the total lack of expression, inability to phrase properly, poor pronunciation. The couple of sentences I did hear was like listening to an asthmatic 90-year old reading the contents off a cereal box, without his glasses on. I want my money back!!

appalling naration!

Sorry but this is really bad. I only managed 5 minutes and I had to switch it off. The narration is robotic and jumpy and there is annoying music in the background. I'm really surprised it was released like this. I want to return it but haven't found how yet.

Really bad
