Publisher's summary

As well as telling the story of Caroline and Philippa, this book continues the tale of Harriet, which began in The Eccentric’s Tale.

Now in her late 40s, Harriet is so staggeringly rich and powerful that she fears no one. Along with her sister, she settles down to enjoy her freedom and to live the eccentric life she has always desired, estranged from her disapproving family. An unexpected visit from a family member brings the neglected, timid Philippa into her life, and Harriet makes an impulsive decision which turns both her world and Philippa’s upside down.

Meanwhile, Caroline, who is enjoying a normal life as the eldest daughter of a wealthy duke, discovers by chance that she has an aunt who no one will talk about. At all. Thwarted in her attempts to discover more about her intriguing relative, Caroline takes a daring step to solve the mystery, unwittingly setting in motion a chain of events that will irrevocably change not only her life, but the lives of those around her.

Loved it

Loved the book- the strong women characters, the author’s notes on what was actual historically correct and loved the readers. Have listened twice already!

Wonderful characters & narration!

It's so wonderful to get the stories behind the wonderful characters in The Jacobite Chronicles - all of those influential and life-altering contributors really are more vibrant now! Brilliantly performed in duet! These women who work within the confines of a system of oppression to find their own autonomy and happiness never cease to amaze me! The narration is once again outstanding!

A favorite author combined with my favorite narrators

The duet narration is absolutely perfection. I am a huge fan of the Julia Brannnan. I love the addition of the back stories of the characters in the Jacobite Chronicles. Makes me want to go back and listen to the series again for a new perspective.

Another WINNER from Julia Brannan!

The only bad thing about The Ladies' Tale was that it had to end. Splendid in every way. The combo of Julia's storytelling and the narration of the tale by Mary Jane, & Will is outstanding!

Love the series!!

Excellent background on Caroline and Philippa, with extra depth given to Harriet. Love the series, may have to go back and reread the main story now that I have these backgrounds.

HARRIET FOR WORLD LEADER!

Julia Brannan novels amaze me. Just when I think she can’t create stronger complex characters within a more interesting and realistic plot, she surprises me with a newer, even better one. The prequels are as wonderful and solid as the original series. And Harriet has to be one of my all-time favorite fictional characters. Thank you, Julia Brannan!
