About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The only question which hangs over the life of Sir Richard Wyndham, notable whip, dandy and Corinthian, is one of marriage. On the eve of making the most momentous decision of his life, he is on his way home, a little worse for drink, when he chances upon a beautiful young fugitive climbing out of a window by means of knotted sheets - and so finds a perfect opportunity for his own escape.

The Corinthian has eveything that Georgette Heyer's devoted readership came to expect and that made her one of the most popular novelists of her day and still adored by a huge audience.

One of Heyer's lighthearted stories spoilt by using a narrator totally unsuited to the style of the story. Unfortunately, the works of the greatest Regency Romance author have not been treated well by the publishers who have appointed narrators not suited to the task in many instances..

Classic Heyer

After reading a review that this was one of her funniest novels I was very disappointed. I am not sure if it was the novel lacking in humour or if it was just that the narrator did not suit this novel. Either way the narrator was not the right choice for this book. She was not annoying or irritating, just unfortunately didn’t suit the novel.

I recommend the audible version of the reluctant widow and sprig Muslin. Brilliant captured here on audible.

Big georgette Heyer fan but disappointed

I don't get why so many people didn't like the narrator , I thought she did a wonderful job. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and it's narration.

Loved it

The narrator was so annoying with her pronunciation of Sir (space) Richard. But overall it was a reasonable listen

It was a fun story

I found this really hard to listen to - the narrator has no idea how to pronounce some of the words - vinaigrette as vinegaret and Hoby as hobby for example - and that is so irritating. Although she can read she can't act - all the voices sound the same. I am getting fed up with Audible using narrators who don't understand how to read. Are they perhaps cheaper? I just love Phyllida Nash and could listen to her all day but her books are getting harder to find. I am now reading The Corinthian myself on Kindle instead.

Spoiled by narration
