About this listen

Gloucestershire, 1813. Miss Mary Lound of Tapley End would be the first to say that she demonstrates more grace with a fishing rod in her hand than she might ever twirling in a ballroom. This was not, however, a problem until her ne'er-do-well brother sold the family estate, leaving Mary and her mother in very straitened circumstances. When the new owner, Sir Rowland Kempsey, takes up residence, Mary decides to direct her energies into recovering her beloved home by catching a husband.

Promisingly Sir Rowland thinks Miss Lound is a breath of fresh air. But with awkward attempts at flirtation, a duplicitous predator at large in the neighbourhood and the emergence of feelings that complicate her pragmatic goal, Mary discovers that landing the man she wants is more difficult than she had anticipated.

Very slow story

I have enjoyed all of Ms. Holloway’s previous stories but this one was exceedingly slow paced and had no real
plot to it. I finished it but it seemed to take forever. ): I was disappointed but will try again with her next novel. I give this 3 stars because the narrator was so good!

Clever Story

I love Sophia Holloway’s smart style of writing and her sharp humor. Mary is a realistic blend of brash confidence that hides deep insecurity. Sir Rowland’s attraction to her is heartwarming and his responses to her behavior are mature and thoughtful. I appreciated this aspect a great deal as I tire of authors leaning on the miscommunication trope so often.

Also, Matt Addis is a fantastic narrator. The timbre of his voice reminds me of Alex Wyndham. I could listen to him read dictionary entries.
