    Orphaned while onboard ship from Ireland, seven-year-old Lavinia arrives on the steps of a tobacco plantation where she is to live and work with the slaves of the kitchen house. Under the care of Belle, the master's illegitimate daughter, Lavinia becomes deeply bonded to her adopted family, though she is set apart from them by her white skin. Eventually, Lavinia is accepted into the world of the big house, where the master is absent and the mistress battles opium addiction.

    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    Yes I would recommend this amazing audio book. Be prepared to be unable to stop listening. The story could be predictable but the way the author writes it it isn't. The suspense will carry you from page to page and you will be torn at the end, wanting to know how it ends but dreading it. The characters are well developed and become friends that you will want to keep around.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Ms Lavinia


    What does Orlagh Cassidy and Bahni Turpin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    The animation is wonderful and their narration brings each of the characters to life in a special way. The first time I tried to listen to it I did not really get into it and was disappointed that I had purchased it. However the second time I was hooked from the very beginning. I knew that I would love Ms. lavinia's voice and her slight hint of an Irish accent.


    Any additional comments?

    I had not heard of this book but it was selected for me by Audible.com as a book I might like based on my reading preferences. i am extremely grateful that they did.

    Based on an 18th-century French fairy tale, this is a magically romantic story about a young prince who befriends an enchanted cat-queen. She provides him with the rarities requested by his father, in a series of challenges to win his kingdom. Their affection for each other blossoms into love, and the prince helps break the spell that an evil gnome has cast over the white cat.
