Resumen del Editor

She is a servant girl... When her father becomes ill, Emily Carter finds herself sent into service at Priorsfield Manor in order to provide the family with an income. He will be the Lord of the Manor...

Emily strikes up an unlikely friendship with the daughters of the house, as well as Nicolas, son of the Earl. But as the threat of war comes ever closer, she becomes even more aware of the vast differences between upstairs and downstairs, servant and master...

If you like Downton Abbey you’ll love this!

Excellent narrator

A well written tale if you've read this type of thing before. Not for under 18

Downton Abby meets Wives & Daughters

Enjoyable for mindless listening, but very cliche and not particularly original. Weak character/ relationship development. Main character, in romance novel style, was too perfect: pretty, smart, hard working, and sickeningly sweet. Of course the son of the wealthy noble would fall madly in love with her ... at first sight, of course.

Basic romance with brisk complications

Swift moving romance...However fairly pedestrian writing with a good number of 'manufactured' sometimes unbelievable complications!

Great story

Definitely my genre. Loved it
I do feel the narration wasn't the best ( every single character seem to sound elederly).
But although the voices were distracting the story was still worth the read or in this case the listen.

I do feel like this book would be more enjoyable as a traditional book rather than audio book though.

Great story and a great read.

The Secret Keeper.

What does Penelope Freeman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She is as good as Davina Porter who I love as a reader.

No Downton Abby!

What didn’t you like about Penelope Freeman’s performance?

I have to start by saying I am in my 60's but I don't really like older women narrating these stories where the main character is a 20 year old girl. All the men in the story sounded like they were about 75 years old and most of the women too. The narrator did a good job of making the voices different and the people who were truly old in the book sounded find but having a young man sound like he's 70 just is distracting.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No

Any additional comments?

The story was ok but not really realistic. Some members of the titled family treated Emily like a friend from the beginning and in those days servants had their place and the line wasn't crossed. The story was ok and maybe worth a listen but it wasn't great.

Disappointing.

I had a very hard time understanding the narrator's various accents and it really took away from the whole experience.

Wonderful story

It was a wonderful story. Done so well. It's a gentle story not a harsh war story. The narration was done beautifully.
