Acerca de esta escucha
After a wonderful visit with her sister's family, Miss Judith Grantham is returning home. She anticipates a dull ending to the Christmas holidays. An overturned mail coach blocks the icy road, and she takes up one of the passengers - a young girl who turns out to be a runaway heiress.
Judith is astonished when some of the other passengers turn up at her doorstep, in need of shelter from an impending snowstorm. Suddenly, she is hostess to a motley and ill-assorted group.
Things become even more interesting when the runaway heiress's guardian turns up, too. He is Sir Peregrine Ashford - the man she jilted five years ago.

Nowadays the Marquess of Hastings would probably be described as having Asperger's. He's good-looking and rich, but his lack of social skills make it hard for him to find a much-needed wife. He scandalizes the ton by putting an advertisement in the newspaper describing the type of spouse he requires and the marriage of convenience he envisages. Amazingly, he finds a suitable candidate. Elisabeth is an impoverished gentlewoman with literary aspirations. But can this oddly-assorted pair possibly coexist, let alone find happiness?

Hidden away in rural Devonshire, Phyllida Satterthwaite has always been considered more odd than beautiful. But in London, her oddity has made her a sensation. Far worse, it’s caught the eye of the sinister Duke of Moreland - a notorious art collector obsessed with acquiring one-of-a-kind treasures. To escape the duke’s clutches, she’s going to need a little help. Captain Arthur Heywood’s days of heroism are long past. Grievously injured in the Peninsular War, he can no longer walk unaided, let alone shoot a pistol. What use can he possibly be to a damsel in distress?

Delightful!
Story: 5 stars
Surprisingly well-developed characters for being a novella!
A stranded group of mail coach passengers show up on the doorstep of Miss Grantham, an attractive young heiress with her own estate.
Soon afterwards, the man she jilted 5 years earlier shows up, as well, searching for his runaway niece amongst the stranded people.
Thus begins a novella full of miscommunication, comedy and, eventually, requited love.
Ms. Buck writes such wonderfully detailed stories, that the circumstances and the the characters all seem plausible and authentic.
She is favorite author of mine!
Narration: 5 stars
I’ll admit that when I first heard Mr. Bradley’s slow and careful narration, I wondered if I would be able to continue. But, honestly, his voice wove a spell and I was soon drawn in by the atmosphere he created. His female voices are believable and he reads with better emotion than many a voice actor. I truly enjoyed this narration!
