I think I bought a young adult novel by mistake.

Revisado: 02-06-24

The story starts with the back and forth between two young women. Are they teenagers? I do not know because I abandoned the book.

Did not finish listening

Revisado: 12-20-23

This author was suggested as someone similar to Georgette Heyer. Not even close! Disappointing. The main character is a woman of about 30. But the narrator could have fooled me. The narrator is a much older woman. How hard is it to find an appropriately aged narrator. And she emotes! Over the top. I do not know how the story progresses or ends because I abandoned the Audio.

Poor narration

Revisado: 10-01-22

I love Mary Stewart novels. The Moonspinners, Nine Coaches Waiting, and Madame Will You Talk Audible versions have wonderful narrators. My Brother Michael does not. A voice too old for the part? She threw me out of the story. Wish I could return this one.

Great story! (w/antisemitism)

Revisado: 05-19-21

One of the best narrations I have heard. I highly recommend the Audible version because of the narrator.

Perfect!

Revisado: 03-12-20

I have purchased almost 40 Audible books at this point. This Audible version of The Moonspinners and the version of Madam Will You Talk are the very best in terms of the voice matching the character of the heroine and overall delivery. I love them! I wish I could say the same for every Audible book - particularily some of the Georgette Heyer Audibles. Some of those I have abandoned early on. I highly recommend the Audible for The Moonspinners and Madame Will You Talk.

Superior narrator

Revisado: 02-12-20

This is one of my favorite Georgette Heyer novels. And Phyllida Nash does a wonderful job of narrating. There are several Audible versions of Heyer novels that I could not listen to because of the narrators. I was so sorry I purchased them. But this story with this narrator is one I will listen to again and again.

To nitpick: The cover with this Audible book shows a dark haired young man. Gilly does not have dark hair. Audible - please pay attention to the characters when you choose covers. (The Nonesuch is the worst.)

This story needs a different narrator

Revisado: 02-08-20

Great story but the narrator is a disappointment. In fact, I did not get far and abandoned the Audible story. She has an older woman’s voice and she does very little to differentiate between male and female voices. And the quality of her voice is poor. I will not buy another Audible narrated by this person.

Narrator miscast

Revisado: 12-18-19

The heroine, Abby, is a 28 year old woman. The narrator seemed to be a woman in her 70’s! She does an excellent job narrating, but her shaky older voice ruined the audio for me. I didn’t get past the first chapter before I abandoned the book. Why can’t Audible find narrators who actually fit the part?

Excellent narration; good but not the best of Heyer's novels

Revisado: 09-10-16

This Heyer novel is enjoyable but not one of my favorites. First, Waldo and Ancilla are off-putting names for our lovers, and whoever chose the picture that accompanies this audio, should be demoted. Hideous depiction of Waldo. In the last quarter of the novel, some of the characters talk and go on and on and on. I am talking to you, Mrs. Chartley. I don't know how the narrator stood it.

Anyway, fairly enjoyable Heyer novel, and this audio of The Nonesuch is one I would listen to again.

Well Done

Revisado: 03-04-16

My favorite Georgette Heyer novel (and I have read almost all of them) narrated by the excellent Phyllida Nash. I have listened to it twice. The abridged version was a disappointment. This is not. Now, if she could just do These Old Shades and Devil's Cub.
