If looking for historical accuracy there books written precisely for the purpose. Certainly these readings are not for enlightenment on history or traditions, rather they are for entertainment and for the purpose it is very nicely done. Thank you. Specially for being free.
Apparently, women were riding horses as early as 1382 (side saddle). So I'm not sure why a woman riding a horse (unless it was astride, like men) was regarded as peculiar, in the setting of this story?
Riding was about the only outdoor sport apart from walking that was permitted a lady. Before the sidesaddle was invented there was a strange saddle with a wood plank for the feet to rest on for women, in the 17th century if a woman wanted to ride she would most likely ride astride with very long skirts, only the very wealthy would get away with that. Attitudes changed during the 18th century and the introduction of a dedicated designed sidesaddle.
It should be earl and countess of dunn as titles. Unless the marriage was morganitic. It wouldn't be lord and lady dunn, that's a different title entirely.And before introduction no one is called by the first name, she would be miss xxxx or lady xxxxx and not the first name
Let her and her family wallow in poverty and her father in debtors prison. He is a Duke and rich most woman would consider themselves grateful just to be in his presence .
A writer with a lot of talent and potential. A very good narrator. But a terrible product - I couldn’t make it past an hour. So many factual and historical mistakes..when writing an historical novel, the research ( and editing) is no less important than the writing I guess.
Love Catherine Bilson as a narrator. Thank you so talented, wonderful Author, and brilliant narrator
Glad you enjoyed it! and i agree that Catherine is great.
Yes she is amazing
I don’t like her narration.
Lovely soothing voice.
Wonderful story people shouldn’t be so bothered by the historical and accuracy. It’s the story that makes us feel good not all of the little facts.
Thank you!
I love Catherine Bilson as narrator! She’s wonderful! Great story!

Her mother wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed....why would you keep thatet alone bring it to the other man's house. Ridiculous.

Exactly! I’m confused about the mother’s attitude about something that was quite acceptable.
Thought it was OK if she rode, but her mother didn’t like it her mother was a bit odd
That is the smallest of the gigantic plot holes in this book.
@@jennamakesbugs I guess we have to remember it is fiction. 🙂
Thank you for sharing your book on audio. I'm enjoying it greatly
So glad!

It's a story. Jo need yo get technical. I'm enjoying it great.
@@rosemarykorff9738 not being technical, factual. If you're basing as story on history get things right, it's not rocket science.
I agree. It's a sign of laziness by the author and the publishers that they couldn't be bothered getting historical facts right.
Let her and her family wallow in poverty and her father in debtors prison. He is a Duke and rich most woman would consider themselves grateful just to be in his presence .

Then you missed the worst of it. A passable early exercise in writing? Yes. A believable Regency tale? Nope.
