Georgette Heyer'a Regency novels are overlooked. Her characterization so situations include Safire and humour.
These novels have excellent narrators and make good theatre

Historia
At the age of 17, Adolfo Kaminsky had narrowly escaped deportation to Auschwitz and was living in Nazi-occupied Paris, using forged documents to hide in plain sight. Due to his expert knowledge of dyes and his ability to masterfully reproduce official documents with an artistic eye, he was recruited to join the Jewish underground. He soon became the primary forger for the Resistance in Paris, working tirelessly with his network to create papers that would save an estimated 14,000 men, women, and children from certain death.

This is not just an historical romance, it is about people who have been both physically and mentally scarred by war and personal tragedy. Also the social barriers with which society stops people from seeing people.hugp and Lady Muir are delightful. Protagonists and the narrator captured the heart of the storu

Historia
As a young girl, Beryl Markham was brought to Kenya from Britain by parents dreaming of a new life. For her mother the dream quickly turned sour, and she returned home; Beryl was brought up by her father, who switched between indulgence and heavy-handed authority, allowing her first to run wild on their farm, then incarcerating her in the classroom. The scourge of governesses and a serial absconder from boarding school, by the age of 16 Beryl had been catapulted into a disastrous marriage.

Circling the Sun Beryl Markham
Revisado: 09-25-15
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
It is an excellent book based on the remarkable life of Berylk Markham. It has everyithing abandonment by a mother adoring a father not just coping but managing her life. Romance tragedy survival against all odds. A life as interesting if not more so than that of Karen Bliksen and Her Out of Africa book.
What other book might you compare Circling the Sun to and why?
Out of Africa by Karen Bliksen
Which character – as performed by Suzannah Hampton – was your favorite?
Beryl
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
BERYL MARKHAM - Circling the Sun it needs nothing different
Any additional comments?
The author's note explains her obvious feeling for her character.

Revisado: 06-07-15
Would you try another book from Nora Roberts and/or Christina Traister?
would give the sample careful scrutiny before tr;yin one
What do you think your next listen will be?
The Hawk
How could the performance have been better?
TRaister should not pitch jer voice riciculously low for ;he man's voice. It is unintelligble. I have heard her do much better than this.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Taming Natasha?
Don't know
Any additional comments?
Nora Roberts and Christina Traister have done better than this. Why have these set question for reviews? SImplet just to rate performace story etc and srite comment
