About this listen

“If you love historical drama…then look no further.”

Boston Globe

Bernard Cornwell, the perennial New York Times bestselling author of the Richard Sharpe series and “perhaps the greatest writer of historical adventure novels today” (Washington Post) joins co-author Susannah Kells for A Crowning Mercy—a breathtaking romantic adventure set against the dramatic backdrop of the English Civil War. The exciting story of a rebellious Puritan woman on a perilous quest for love and fortune, A Crowning Mercy is a must for Cornwell fans as well as for devoted readers/listeners of Sharon Kay Penman and Diana Gabaldon.

Love Cornwell's historical settings. Every book is a welcome learning experience. Heroine is a bit boring in this one, however.

Intrigue that pillories religious prejudices.

One of the best books-and best Audible books-I’ve ever read/listened to. It has everything! A love story, an adventure, despicable villains, the beauty of friendship. Everything! I loved every second of it and recommended it as highly as possible! Franklin, the narrator was utterly superb! Bravo!

One of the BEST listens EVER!!

I enjoyed the book and the performance was great. It wasn’t overly historical but I did enjoy it. I tend to be a harsh critic but I would recommend.

Worth the credit

I'm usually way ahead of the plot with most books and movies, but I didn't expect that final twist. Very nice.

Well told and well narrated. I was a little thrown off at first by a female narrator with a Bernard Cromwell book, but once I figure it out, the protagonist was a female. It made total sense in the narrator did a great job!

Great story
