Having left Restoration England in the midst of a messy scandal, she has been living in Louis XIV's Baroque, mannered France for two years. Now she is returning home to England and anxious to re-establish herself quickly. First, she will regain her former position as a maid of honor to Charles II's queen. Then she will marry the most celebrated duke of the Restoration, putting herself in a position to attain power she's only dreamed of.

Masterfully performed. The narrator and the story were a perfect marriage. I enjoyed this one so much I will probably read Through a glass darkly for the umpteenth time.

Times are desperate for the Rebel Alliance. Harassment by the Empire and a shortage of vital supplies are hindering completion of a new secret base on the ice planet Hoth. So when Mid Rim merchants offer much-needed materials for sale, Princess Leia Organa and Han Solo lead an Alliance delegation to negotiate a deal. But when treachery forces the rebel ship to flee into territory controlled by pirates, Leia makes a shocking discovery: The fierce marauders come from Leia's homeworld of Alderaan, recently destroyed by the Death Star.

Flat Narration

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
I'm returning this book. The narration is monotone and flat. I can hear all the words clearly but that's not the mark of a good storyteller. And for the reviewers who don't like the narration, it's not because she is female. It's about her work not her gender. Check out Kate Mulgrew for killer narrator skills
