This program is read by actor Bessie Carter, best known for her role as Prudence Featherington on the Netflix series Bridgerton.

“With excellent accents and a soothing yet engaging voice, Bessie Carter’s narration was enchanting. She beautifully captured the novel’s atmosphere and emotion.”—The Nerd Daily

Twice-widowed, Lady Etheldreda Verity Isolde Tremaine Bramley is solely responsible for her two children, a priggish stepdaughter, a razor-taloned peregrine falcon, and a crumbling manor. Fierce and determined, Ethel clings to the respectability her deceased husband’s title affords her, hoping it will secure her daughters’ future through marriage.

When a royal ball offers the chance to change everything, Ethel risks her pride in pursuit of an invitation for all three of her daughters—only to see her hopes fulfilled by the wrong one. As an engagement to the future king unfolds, Ethel discovers a sordid secret hidden in the depths of the royal family, forcing her to choose between the security she craves and the wellbeing of the stepdaughter who has rebuffed her at every turn.

As if Bridgerton met Circe, and exhilarating to its core, Lady Tremaine reimagines the myth of the evil stepmother at the heart of the world’s most famous fairy tale. It is a battle cry for a mother’s love for her daughters, and a celebration of women everywhere who make their own fortunes.

Excellent Retelling

A modern retelling of the Cinderella story.
No fairy godmother or charming prince or wicked stepmother, just an entertaining tale.

You are the scariest thing in the woods

I can’t even express how much I loved this retelling. Go into it not expecting Cinderella please it’s a retelling and it was a masterpiece.

Loved the reader

This book was a creative interpretation of a classic tale - strong female protagonist and all characters.

Amazing!

A new, not necessarily, re-telling of a fairy tale you thought to look at from only one perspective. Wonderfully imagined and performed. I loved this story of a mother’s love!

Phenomenal

This book is exceptional in every way.
Rarely does a book live up to all of the hype surrounding it-but this one is absolutely incredible.

Believe all of the positive reviews-you won’t be able to put it down.

Narration is as good as I’ve ever heard; a true “performance”.

Can’t wait to see what this author does next. What a debut!
