Richard Armitage's narration is excellent, including a range of distinctive character voices. All the more disappointing then that this is a very much abridged version of Georgette Heyer's original novel with much of the detail and depth stripped out, leaving the narrative feeling rather bare and flat. I was especially disappointed that the hugely entertaining comic scene with Edmund, the dog and Fotherby's boots, which I had so been looking forward to hearing described, had been completely excised from the tale. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

When Sylvester, the Duke of Salford, first meets Phoebe Marlow, he finds her dull and insipid. She finds him insufferably arrogant. But when a series of unforeseen events leads them to be stranded together in a lonely country inn, they are both forced to reassess their hastily formed opinions, and begin a new-found liking and respect for each other. Sylvester calls to mind the satirical genius of a Jane Austen novel and is adored for its wit and a fast-paced plot that ranges across a myriad of settings.

Richard Armitage narrating this really set the scene! After growing up with him in North & South and Robin Hood, I just associate him with costume dramas. (Except for Spooks, cos, yanno, that's not a costume drama at all. 'Tis definitely dramatic, though. But now I'm totally off topic.)
For some reason, I didn't realise until now that I was mixing up Georgette Heyer and Elizabeth Gaskell. Oops. But I'm gonna put that down to thinking Armitage was in costume dramas by both, haha. (Not even sure if he is in a costume drama based on one of Heyer's books, but I digress ...) Anyways - well worth a listen! The writing was engaging and funny, but not convoluted or overdone. Very enjoyable. ( )
