The New York Times best-selling author of Jubilee Trail does "a grand job of storytelling" in this saga of pioneers who settled the Louisiana wilderness (The New York Times).

For his service in the king's army during the French and Indian War, Judith Sheramy's father, a Puritan New Englander, is granted a parcel of land in far-off Louisiana. As the family ventures down the Mississippi to make a new home in the wilderness, Judith meets Philip Larne, an adventurer who travels in the finest clothes Judith has ever seen. He is a rogue, a killer, and a thief - and the first thing he steals is Judith's heart.

Three thousand acres of untamed jungle, populated by native tribes and overrun with jaguars and pirates, await Philip in Louisiana. He and Judith will struggle through their stormy marriage and the challenges of the American Revolution as they strive to build an empire for future generations.

Narrator performance was dreadful! Exaggerated southern accents especially. Provided unique details about early settlers of Louisiana plantations.

Enjoyable historical fiction

Read the book years ago. The storyline and characters are great. But the narrator was overly dramatic. I almost gave up listening because the narrator irritated me. However, I stayed with it to the end. Hoping the next two in the series have improved narrators.

Engrossing Story

I read Plantation Trilogy in high school and loved it but that title was all I remembered. A few years ago I found the book again and learned the author and titles of the books. I still love all three of them. The narrator does a great job with all the voices.

Great series

When I first joined Audible this Gwen Bristow classic wasn't available. I was very happy when it was added. Only knowing how good this first book of the trilogy kept me going. The narrator was terrible; over dramatic, stiff in places, bad pronunciations and awful accents and characterization. Wish the narrator from Bristow's Celia Garth would have done this one as well.

Great story. Terrible narrator

I read Plantation trilogy in 1973 while awaiting the birth of my second child. My mother insisted I read Gwen Bristow. It was as good as I remembered. I even like the narrator. Hopefully I will be able to convenience my daughter to read the three books

I think the story was really interesting as are all her books. I think the reader did a good job. There were a variety of complicated accents and Many characters in this book. I just downloaded the next book in the series :-)

Good Story

This narrator is without a doubt the worst voice I have ever heard. Too bad the narrator from the other Gwen Bristow books was not used.

Worst narrator ever

Absolutely love this series of Gwen Bristow books but the narration is rather grating. Wish it was the same Narrater as Cecilia Garth, Jubilee Trail and Calico Palace

Love the story, hate the narration
