About this listen

This brooch saga begins July 14, 1789, the day French revolutionaries stormed the Bastille! And America’s ambassador to France, Thomas Jefferson, comes to Sophia Orsini's rescue....

Sophia Orsini, a time-traveling Italian artist, believes she understands how the pearl brooch magic works, but when it abandons her in the middle of an 18th century Paris mob, she realizes she was wrong.

America’s ambassador to France, Thomas Jefferson, comes to Sophia’s rescue, but that meeting leads her down a path she otherwise wouldn’t have chosen.

Kevin Fraser and his pregnant wife, JL, fly in his Cessna to enjoy a weekend at Mallory Plantation in Virginia, but wind shear turns Kevin's textbook landing into a disaster and the plane through a chain-link fence, injuring JL and sending her into premature labor.

Pete Parrino, VP of Global Security for MacKlenna Corporation, is in Florence on business when he stumbles upon Sophia Orsini’s art studio. Sophia is the love of Pete’s life, and he hasn’t seen or heard from her in 20 years. When he discovers she hasn’t returned from her annual two-week holiday, he breaks into her studio and finds evidence that she’s a time traveler.

When the clan discovers where she is, Pete, Matt Kelly, and Jack Mallory must decide how much of America’s history they’re willing to change in order to bring Sophia back to the future.

I’m on my third run of listening to the series and was considering missing Sophie’s story out due to my dislike of the new narrator’s accents, but at the last minute decided to give it a go. I listened to it on 1.2 speed which helped the flow and previous frustration I felt about the pace of the reading. The narrator is still stilted and a little robotic on the story but if you can get past the accents, she almost acts out the dialogues and it’s not bad. Blane’s accent was terrible but due to Katherine’s lovely writing and (yes) Carolyn’s acting his part he was my favourite character. Sophie was a bit of a pain but she redeems herself in future books. As always though, Katherine brings the characters to life and I’ve loved listening to the books again, back to back.

Sounds better on 1.2 speed

I finished listening because I am stubborn but it was so difficult to listen to the dreadful narration. Excruciating accents and slow to the point of screaming. Such a shame!!! The story itself wasn’t too bad but the heroine definitely needed a head wobble to sort herself out.

Not her best

Despite Carolyn’s best endeavours the French and Scottish accents fail to convince - sorry to be painfully honest.

Sweet baby Jesus… I LOVE this series but reeeeeally struggled to get through this book with this narrator! What the hell happened to the last narrator?!? And did Marlee Matlin or Hellen Keller interview her voice and accents abilities because I have no earthly idea how she got this job. I loved the story as usual but I’m telling you when she does a Scottish accent or reads for Elliot or Blaine I seriously wanted to put a fork in my ear. Pretty sure I have audiobook trauma or PTSD.

Worst Narrator EVER
