As opulent and passionate as the 18th century it celebrates, Through a Glass Darkly will sweep you away to the splendors of a lost era. From aristocrats to scoundrels, its rich, vivid characters create their own immortality. Here is the story of a great family ruled by a dowager of extraordinary power; of a young woman seeking love in a world of English luxury and French intrigue; and of a man haunted by a secret that could turn all dreams to ashes.Don't miss the prequel, Dark Angels.©2003 Karleen Koen (P)2006 Random House Audio, Inc.

This is an abridged version of the book. Still a good story, just wish I would have known. This version lacks the depth of the original

Not the full book.

One of my all time favorite stories, but unfortunately this story lacks depth as so many point of views have been left out. The depth of the story is not there without them and it really cut the story short. Please release the FULL version of this story!

Love this book but much better if you read it!

I had no idea the audio version was abridged. I loved the printed book when it came out years ago, including all the story lines of the secondary characters. This version left out all but the main characters, which is too bad. I would not have purchased it if I had picked up on the fact that it was an abridged version. I wish Audible would plainly label books when they are not the full version. Maybe they do, but I missed it.

One of my favorite novels. I have read this more than once and listened to it more than once. As always Rosalyn Landor did an incredible job narrating this book. She captured everyone as I heard them in my head when I first read the book. It is one I will go back to time and time again!

Fabulous
