The Care and Feeding of Waspish Widows

Feminine Pursuits

De: Olivia Waite

Narrado por: Morag Sims

When Agatha Griffin finds a colony of bees in her warehouse, it’s the not-so-perfect ending to a not-so-perfect week. Busy trying to keep her printing business afloat amidst rising taxes and the suppression of radical printers like her son, the last thing the widow wants is to be the victim of a thousand bees. But when a beautiful beekeeper arrives to take care of the pests, Agatha may be in danger of being stung by something far more dangerous…

Penelope Flood exists between two worlds in her small seaside town, the society of rich landowners and the tradesfolk. Soon, tensions boil over when the formerly exiled Queen arrives on England’s shores—and when Penelope’s long-absent husband returns to Melliton, she once again finds herself torn, between her burgeoning love for Agatha and her loyalty to the man who once gave her refuge.

As Penelope finally discovers her true place, Agatha must learn to accept the changing world in front of her. But will these longing hearts settle for a safe but stale existence or will they learn to fight for the future they most desire?

Adorable Romance, Great Narrator

This is a fantastic book with a bit of a slow burn romance but once they realize it they make up for lost time. The characters are all well written and well rounded.

The narrator is just fabulous. I was really able to enjoy the book because the narration was so good, it didn't distract and I could always tell who was talking when.

Great writing

The historical detail about beekeeping, printmaking, and the nuances of the politics & national mood in this part of the 19th century — absolutely fascinating! Clearly a well researched book. To top it all off the love story is both believable and enchanting. Definitely recommend this book!

Throughly Delightful

The story line was intriguing and entertaining, keeping my attention riveted. Each character was well developed and it was as if I knew them personally. The twist and turns were so much like real life. Morag Sims is a wonderful narrator and her ability to distinguish the voices of characters helps give them added depth. Overall one of my favorite books. I throughly enjoy Olivia Waite’s books and look forward to the next one!

Delightful and Poetic! Simply Wonderful!

What a wonderful story that was well written and brilliantly narrated. Waite delivers another clever and thoroughly entertaining story. Morag Sims performs wonderfully and captures the scenes and emotions expertly. Well done!

Wonderful Romance Brilliantly Written

If Virginia Woolf had felt more liberated from her time, this is a story she might have written. A tribute to the actual author and the Audible narrator! Poetic, nuanced, complex, in a word- captivating!!
