Publisher's summary

Enter the world of the rich charismatic Lytton family and their powerful publishing empire in this passionate family saga, spanning the Edwardian era to World War I and the excesses of the glamorous 20s. Enter the world of Celia LyttonÑa woman who is used to getting her way. She moves through life making difficult and often dangerous decisions that affect herself and others, not only her husband, Oliver, and their children; but the destitute Sylvia Miller, whose life is transformed by Celia's intrusion; Oliver's daunting elder sister, who is not all she appears to be; and Sebastian Brooke, for whom Celia makes the most dangerous decision of all.

Where are the next two in the trilogy?

Loved this book! A perfect beach read (although I never go to the beach). However, the next two books in the trilogy are not on Audible. What's up with that?

Don't make the mitake I made - SAVE YOUR CREDIT!!!

What would have made No Angel better?

A narrator with an an English accent.
An author who could write.

What was most disappointing about Penny Vincenzi’s story?

Most disappointing was that I bought it (on a friend's recommendation)
and wasted a precious credit.

What didn’t you like about Carrington MacDuffie’s performance?

The HORRENDOUS accents!!!!!!!
I have no idea where she acquired the voices and accents, but she should get her money back as I wish I could.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from No Angel?

Since I listened to only three chapters - I would have cut them all.

Any additional comments?

I am sorry I bought the book.
I will not waste another minute in hoping that the narrator, or the book will improve!!

Audible, shame on you!

Any additional comments?

I am so disappointed in audible that they only have one of the three in this saga available. The book was not the best I ever read, but certainly entertaining. When I went to find the second book, I discovered audible does not have it - WTH, audible???

Stay Away

I'm not above a good soap opera...Trollope, Dickens, etc., but this one was so bad that I must warn people about it. It's written in the Romance fiction genre as in Barbara Cartlen, etc. The love scenes are ridiculous. There is so much "fill" that one sits and waits for the plot to move on. The narrator does and okay job with the British accents except for the lower classes which cause one to wince every time she does one. Stereotypical cardboard characterizations throughout.
A big disappointment.

Didn't bother to finish

I am sure that many people will love this book. It just wasn't my cup of tea. It may have gotten much better and I just didn't get that far. I gave it a few hours and gave up. Not bad but not something that I was just driven to finish. Especially on work nights.
