"If you will listen to this book, you will meet a cast of unforgettable characters, as different from one another as the sun and moon. But they have one thing in common - all of them hide many, many secrets. The plot of this book is full of twists which may leave you guessing until the end. Bridget's lively reading adds much to the joy of listening to this book."

Excellent

(5 Sterne)

This was a really good story. I think the hidden hand could also mean the hidden hand of God as there was often divine intervention going on. Although not a religious person myself, I thought that the religious undertones were done very well. The story is riveting and I truly enjoyed it. I have listened to a few other narrations by Bridget and she does a nice job. Her voice is well suited to the character of Cap.

great fun!

(5 Sterne)

This is a great read. If you like 1800s fiction, this is a must. Along the lines of a serial story or a dime novel but wonderfully, agonizingly long. A story with a high moral,which tends to turn people off, but such rollicking, fun characters! Fantastical, sad, funny - it takes you the whole way around. My only complaint is the reader's pronunciations get a bit off and she's sometimes rather toneless. Still worth it, though!

Very Good!

(5 Sterne)

Very good book! The reader was perfect, and I loved how everything tied together!

(5 Sterne)

Absolutely excellent book. author is amazing in how they are able to captivate the reader. I love the sense of humor in the characters, especially Capitola. I would also recommend other books by this same author. also wish more books from this author would be recorded in here such as "Ishmael" and "Self Raised" and if they get recorded I want the same reader to do them.

Great story

(5 Sterne)

A wonderful story of divine intervention that takes the reader on a circuitous ride from dark despair, suspense, "by the skin of the teeth" escapes, the folly of pride, finally to redemption and reconciliation with a good dose of fun and humor mixed in. A fun listen. The reader did an excellent job, she has a pleasant voice and an easy reading style.

Fantastic!

(5 Sterne)

I love little Cap! who doesn't want to be like her?! 😅😅 I wish there were more like her! E.D.E.N Southworth did excellent with this book. I'm interested in her others if they are as good as this one! The reader also did an excellent job👍

Most Excellent
