The tide is turning against the colonists in the Revolutionary War, and 18-year-old Elizabeth Morris cannot sit by idly. Quietly disdainful of her Tory parents, who drag her along to society events and welcome a British soldier into their home during their occupation of New York City, Elizabeth decides to take matters into her own hands. She realizes that, as a young woman, no one around her believes that she can comprehend the profound implications of being a nation at war - she is, effectively, invisible. And she can use this invisibility to her advantage.

Great narration, but not a great story
Reviewed: 02-15-21
The main character was not at all likeable or relatable. She was haughty and proud and easily offended at the slightest provocation, and there were parts of the story where character actions (or inactions) were not believable. Also, FYI, the story is also written in the present tense (some readers like that; some don't).
The narration is fantastic, but there are other novels about the mysterious Agent 355 that I liked more.

Well done

I enjoyed this collection of classics. The stories are great and the narrators did a good job, but there was a technical glitch in Little Women where the audio skipped a few words on two separate occasions. Other than that, well done.
