About this listen

Independent-minded Sibylla Spencer feels trapped in 19th-century London, where her strong will and progressive views have rendered her unmarriageable. Still single at 23, she is treated like a child and feels stifled in her controlling father's house.

When Benjamin Hopkins, an ambitious employee of her father's trading company, shows an interest in her, she realizes marriage is her only chance to escape. As Benjamin's rising career whisks them both away to exotic Morocco, Sibylla is at last a citizen of the world, reveling in her newfound freedom by striking her first business deals, befriending locals - and falling in love for the first time with a charismatic and handsome Frenchman.

But Benjamin's lust for money and influence draws him into dark dealings, pulling him ever further from Sibylla and their two young sons. When he's arrested on horrible charges, the fate of Sibylla's family rests on her shoulders, as she must decide whether she'll leave him to his fate or help him fight for his life.

Loved the story.

I loved the story and the characters! Struggled with the narrator's dull voice for the male characters. This story deserved multiple narrator's.

Believable Characters

I enjoy historical fiction in general, but this one is above average. I am going to Morocco for the first time soon and I definitely learned about roots of their culture. I felt that the characters came to life and stayed true.

Interesting Story

Performance was great, enjoyed the story. It was interesting to see the depiction of that area in the 1800’s.

I enjoyed the historical information.

The performance is not top notch. Voice is a bit annoying. The story is a bit boring in a way it is talk.

Enjoyable historical fiction

The narrator does a great job with different character voices and accents. The storyline spans several decades in 2 vastly different continents and cultures.
