Publisher's summary

When Aurelie Harcourt's father dies in debtor's prison, he leaves her just two things: his wealthy family, whom she has never met, and his famous pen name, Nathaniel Droll. Her new family greets her with apathy and even resentment. Only the quiet houseguest, Silas Rotherham, welcomes her company.

When Aurelie decides to complete her father's unfinished serial novel, writing the family into the story as unflattering characters, she must keep her identity as Nathaniel Droll hidden while searching for the truth about her mother's disappearance - and perhaps even her father's death.

Author Joanna Davidson Politano's stunning debut set in Victorian England will delight listeners with its highly original plot, lush setting, vibrant characters, and reluctant romance.

Beautifully-written Story

I hope this author writes more books like this. It gripped my attention from the start and had me thinking about it when I wasn’t listening. After listening to a bunch of trashy romance novels it was so refreshing to find something with real heart, sweetness and intelligence. The suspense and also the main character’s dependence on God when she felt truly alone really made this so satisfying. I can identify with her in many ways. The romance element was not explicit at all but still allowed the chemistry to shine through.

Can’t deal with narrator

I can’t finish this. This narrator is my least favorite, but I thought I’d try anyway. Nope. Even though she can do some voices well, I still can’t tolerate her shakiness, her non-native accent, her dreary tone, her intensity, her vocal fry, etc. It’s frustrating to see her on so many audiobooks.

Favorite Author, Wonderful Story

I understand this is Joanna Davidson Politano’s debut book, but I listened to two others by her before finding this one. (A Rumored Fortune and Finding Lady Everly)

I searched for any other books by Politano after how much I enjoyed those two, and was so excited to find Lady Jane Disappears. It’s just SO GOOD!

Cannot recommend her enough. Take a chance on this Christian author, you will not regret it.

Balm of Gilead did she Borrow...

This is an excellent book. The writing life well represented. A real Spiritual life, too.

Good story, well developed characters

Nicely balanced story with character development, unpredictable twists and turns and enough interesting side-characters to make it an enjoyable listen.

Witty

I really enjoyed this audio. It was well preformed thr change of voices was noticeable but not ridiculous. The story itself was cute witty and well formed. Through dialog we are provided character building and through our imagination an image comes to life. ♡
