LADY CHARLOTTE ALWAYS GETS HER MAN

In mid-eighteenth century London, Lady Charlotte's upper-class lifestyle is captured in Katy Sobey's heartfelt and well-paced narration. Rejecting the idea of a betrothal to a duke with a nasty reputation--gossip suggests he murdered two wives--she takes her future into her own hands, pairing up with two female cousins who own a coffeehouse. With author Violet Marsh taking creative liberties related to the time period, listeners are drawn into an compelling story of class, race, and love that also addresses human trafficking and women's rights. A one-eyed parrot's vocal observations add levity and expand Sobey's extensive repertoire. B.E.S. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2024]
