About this listen

Harriet Ashleigh, the much-loved eldest daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Darlington, knows exactly what she wants from life. Just one simple thing: the freedom to be herself.

But for a young woman living in the 17th century, freedom is not such an easy thing to achieve. When her family’s future wealth and happiness are threatened, she wrestles with the realization that duty will have to be put before her precious dreams.

She finds herself forced to make a decision that leads to consequences she could never have imagined even in her worst nightmares.

Now she has to fight the whole of society not just for happiness but for her very survival, and she must take up arms in her own eccentric way with startling results.

The Eccentric’s Tale is an intriguing look at the remarkable private life and emotions of a truly unique woman.

This book is full of wonderful storytelling, great narration and definitely filled is some story lines.
I loved the idea that the main character isn't tiny, beautiful, blond, and perfect. Harriet doesn't have the usual description of the classic heroine and she's wonderful!

A fantastic addition to The Jacobite Chronicles!

This Jacobite Chronicles Story is wonderful historical fiction depicting the life of an amazing woman! Throughout the series I often wondered about Harriet and her life. This answered all of those questions, and so much more. It makes me even more thankful for women like that who pushed for women's rights in their way. I know this is fictional, but I can't help but think it fits many women in that time. Like the rest of the series this is beautifully written and performed. Will Watt is a favorite performer who always delivers and Mary Jane Wells was the perfect fit to bring Harriet to life. I love DUET narration as well!

Amazing woman with a great story to tell!

I love learning history through well-written novels, and Julia Brannan’s are my favorites. She gives such insight into court politics and the desperation of the nobility to curry favor with the monarchy to increase power and prestige. I especially enjoyed the relationship between Harriet and someone who will play an important role with the Jacobites. What impresses me most is Brannan’s ability to create complex, sympathetic characters. I hope she writes several more novels.

ANOTHER MASTERPIECE
