Well narrated

Great read! Recommend to anyone who enjoys history of England and the nineteenth century when it occurs.🙂

Wonderful story, terrible narrator

I received this book as the free Audible Narration that came with the kindle edition, but I couldn’t finish this book because of the narrator. I found myself hating the story and not wanting to listen to it. I finally realized it was the narrator who made me dislike all the characters and who didn’t add any depth or emotion to the story. I ended up returning it and purchasing the edition narrated by Juliet Stevenson. So much better!

Comfortable friend

I really enjoyed this book but I thought it was a little long. The characters were good and it was interesting to read about early labor relations.

Well Done!!

My fiancé decided to go through this book together and after having seen the miniseries first I was blown away by the depth of the book. Also the performance by Anne Flosnik was great as well.

narrator

I've always enjoyed the story but it was difficult to find a audio book with a good narrator. Anne Flosnik reads at a good and understandable pace, She reads with enough inflection to make the story pleasant to listen to as well as changes in voice to reflect which characters are speaking.
