Same made up trite

Why can’t there be more Hillary Mantels or Anne O’Brian (The king’s Rival” - brilliantly written through letter exchanges. Sigh. I use this site to help me fall asleep but as a historian, these novels are pure tripe. Why can’t they use age appropriate female voices or in Mantel’s case, the actor that made lauded Cromwell on stage in London? Or deeper female voices which absolutely enhanced “Morgan is my name”? It keeps my brain awake and irritated at this point rather than soothing it in not running everything through my head when it hits the pillow. Stephen Fry and Mary Beard narrate their own works and they are glorious to listen to. Wake up audio book people! Biggest complaint I see on here is the narrator and their voice.
