Bless Thine Inheritance

De: Sophia Holloway

Narrado por: Matt Addis

Pretty Celia Mardham should have been a success in her London Season, but a near fatal riding accident has left her with a pronounced limp which means she cannot even make a good curtsy, let alone dance.

There can be no expectation of marriage, but her mama makes one last effort. She draws up a list of guests for a country house sojourn, picking only young ladies she feels will not be rivals, and some potential suitors. Among the well-bred gentlemen is Lord Levedale.

When he meets Celia he sees her, not the limp, but even as his heart draws him to her, he is held back by his duty to his family name.

Very good

This is delightful writing with an excellent narrator. My only complaint is that the narrator’s voice drops some times, making it difficult to hear and requiring rewinds. But he captures the tone and mood perfectly. Because the context is a house party, give yourself a little time to get to know who is whom. And listen for point-of-view switches. A few of them are hard to pick up on until you realize you’re not still with the character you thought you were with.

Well written and a fun read

Enjoyed the wit and polished writing. The narrator made it all the more enjoyable.

How Delightful!

What a charming and fun read. Thoroughly enjoyable! I look forward to more from Sophia Holloway.

Hilarious and entertaining

Hilarious and entertaining.

Matt Addis should narrate all books this author brings out please. He always leaves me in applause and appreciation. Just such a good time.

The story is hilarious and well written. A light read that can truly lift one's spirit! And thankfully clean too. No explicit scenes and we love that in these parts.

I also love that our female lead is not weak and frail despite having a disability in a time period when people valued "perfection" to an obsessive level. She was confident and such a delight to read.

The English is also beautiful and indicative of the times. I will never stop championing this. Love love love when authors honor time periods this way. Makes the immersion as it should be. Hope other period authors start doing this a lot better too.

All in all it is a lovely, light, fun read that had me laughing out loud so many times. Glad I bought it.

Wonderful

Delightful story, very well-written and excellently narrated.
Jane Austen fans will enjoy this charming romance, set in an English country manor house full of guests.

Fun, Quirky Characters

This story is fun and funny and exceptionally well written. Sophia Holloway’s writing style is very reminiscent of Georgette Heyer — she has such a way with words! Her characters are delightfully quirky and the plot rambles along in the most enchanting way, I could hardly bear to put the book down. I loved every minute of it.
