A fun and sometimes gripping story that gives you the sensual juiciness of the time period. The narrator was a perfect choice.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 166
Newly returned from finishing school, Lady Juliette Thorndike is ready to debut in London society. Due to her years away, she hasn't spent much time with her parents, and sees them only as the flighty, dilettante couple the other nobles love. But when they disappear, she discovers she never really knew them at all. They've been living double lives as government spies-and they're only the latest in a long history of espionage that is the family's legacy.

Good reason. How does she do so many voices? Gripping story. I loved it. If there is a sequel, I’ll find it.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 349
Peter Mayle and his wife had been to Provence as tourists. They had dreamed of one day trading the long, grey winters and damp summers of England for the blue skies and sunshine of the coast of southern France. And then they made it happen. They moved into an old farmhouse at the foot of the Luberon mountains and embarked on a wonderful, if at times bewildering, new life.

Rich Dad Poor Dad is Robert's story of growing up with two dads - his real father and the father of his best friend, his rich dad - and the ways in which both men shaped his thoughts about money and investing. The book explodes the myth that you need to earn a high income to be rich and explains the difference between working for money and having your money work for you. In the 20th anniversary edition of this classic, Robert offers an update on what we’ve seen over the past 20 years related to money, investing, and the global economy.

one of the best Cadfael stories
Reviewed: 11-15-18
This is one of the best and most rich Cadfael stories. It's important to get the unabridged version (this one) as some of the sweetest moments and nuances of dialogue are cut from the other (with Derek Jakobi).

If you could sum up A Quiet Life in the Country in three words, what would they be?
Wonderful performance. The story lagged in places... but it also sparkled often. Plenty of witty dialogue and opportunities to guess at the clues the two intrepid and charming sleuths discover together... I loved it. I was sorry when it was over.
What about Elizabeth Knowelden’s performance did you like?
She reminds me of a female version of the great Cadfael narrator Patrick Tull: able to draw you in, make you feel the atmosphere, and to somehow give each character its own voice and quality... you get swept away. Very well done.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes - BUT - please don't abridge anything! I listened to it over a weekend and that was perfect.
Any additional comments?
More please!
