The Whore's Tale: Sarah

A Jacobite Chronicles Story

De: Julia Brannan

Narrado por: Mary Jane Wells, Will Watt

The first book in a gripping new series focusing on the early lives of some of the pivotal characters whose stories are later woven together in the award-winning Jacobite Chronicles. This is a companion series and can be enjoyed independently of the Chronicles.

The year is 1731, and in a small village in Cheshire, England, the Reverend Browne has determined the future of his young daughter, Sarah. Her life will be dedicated to caring for him and his household affairs while he, acting as one of God’s chosen few, saves souls from the devil.

Sarah dreams of a different future, one in which she will be happy and independent. As she grows older, she starts to see glimpses of a tantalizing world beyond her reach and longs one day to escape the drudgery of her life, to become part of it all and maybe even have her own business.

However, a chance meeting leads first to joy and blossoming and then to the destruction of her whole world. It changes her life forever, forcing her down a path that is the very opposite of the glittering one she had hoped for, one for which she has to pay a terrible price to survive.

excellent but have some....

excellent book but make sure to have some tissues on hand! so many parts of the story I just wanted to hug the poor girl, guide her in a better direction and take her in myself. she was a survivor that's for sure and I know all too well what that's like... and how exhausting it is.

Jacobean Series

As a lover of history, literature and historical fiction, I found this series of books to to one of the best I have ever read. I anxiously await the backstories of more of the characters

Well done story about this character from another novel

The book can stand omits own but is also a great addition to the series it belongs to. Well narrated

Amazing listen

The narration is unbeatable; both bring life and emotion to every character. I was absolutely heartbroken by Sarah’s tale and truly hope that her life is happier as it continues in the Jacobite Chronicles. Love the historical time period of this story. While there was no HEA, the ending left me feeling hopeful and intrigued to read the Jacobite Chronicles to see how things work out for Sarah and learn more about Elizabeth and her friendly band of servant family members.

The childhood with Rev Brown

needed more, wished we got more insight into her falling in love with Duncan :-)
