Good performance, not so good plot
I love Juliet Stevenson’s voice. But this book was a waste of her and my time. I listened to the very end hoping for some last minute miracle. No such luck. I cannot recommend it to those who are depressed or bored out of their wits with their own life :-).

Disappointing
Anything read by Juliet Stevenson is worth listening to, or so I thought. And the pairing of her voice with EJH seemed irresistible but although there were gripping moments the story went nowhere. Still, I stayed with it but found the chapter numbers so out of sync with the narrator’s announcements that I wasted far too long, too often, trying to find my place.

First book of my favourite author
Could listen to this forever. Maybe not her best novel but a definite precursor of great things to come. Beautifully read and written.

Stick with it!
You’ll not be disappointed. Yes, you’ll feel like giving the principle character a shake but stay with her. It’s also a sad and sensitive view of the First World War.

Beautiful in many ways
As usual, Juliette Stevenson reads with great empathy for the characters in a clear and very easy listening manner. The story is intriguing, but somehow leaves one hanging. As I’m not sure of a sequel, it seems cut off in its prime. The language is rich, giving the imagery depth and clarity. I enjoyed the story and wish there was more conclusion although I can see why the main theme of independence is satisfied. Recommended.

Beautiful moments but overwhelmingly long
Excellent performance which helped me to complete this epic novel in which very little happens.
Very interesting viewpoint of a gentlewoman's lot post Great War. However, I felt it needed an edit. Beautiful, gentle prose but there is an overwhelming amount of it.

Disappointing
As a big fan of the Cazalet Chronicles, by the same author, I was really disappointed listening to this book. So much so, I gave up half way through. I’m not sure if it was the story itself or the narration, but there was nothing to grip me and make me want to listen. Shame…

Another thoughtful and thought inducing book by one of my favourite authors.
I really enjoyed this story. Not action packed but immediately the reader is transported to another world. The narration is first class. I enjoyed being taken back into near history in a realistic way. The characters are realistic, each one drawn with such clarity and defined with precision, reminding me of Emily Brontë.
