ROMOLA

British actress Lucy Scott captures the sweeping drama of this literary classic with a thoughtful and calming narration. Set in Florentine Italy during the Renaissance, this work is full of descriptions of Italian history and architecture. Amid these details, Lucy Scott carefully delivers the difficult and emotional plot of an innocent daughter of a learned elder and her betrayal at the hands of her husband, a Greek scholar with a secret past. The audiobook adaptation of this novel is lengthy and sometimes so rich with detail that it can be easy to lose track of the plot. But Scott's narration carries the listener through by maintaining focus on the heart of the story. V.B. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2020]
