Prepare yourself for a journey, full of adventures and plot twists which will keep you guessing until the very end. This is psychological romance at its best. In the war of 1814, an American heiress falls in love with a British officer. This ill-fated marriage brings together a large group of interesting people who would never have met in other circumstances.
(Summary by Stav Nisser) (10 hr 38 min)

interesting study of simplified characters of some people in England and US at the time; it starts out very promising of an unusual heroin but keeping track of the number, relations and destiny of people in the story is a bit of a challenge. Women are all overly virtuous or cheeky, men are either young and pure gentlemen or grumpy and selfish older ones. It's an amusing story with not much dispense. Romance is rather glorified and associated with endless acceptance and years of waiting for the loved one rather than actions and bravery. Unusual for the time of writing, women are allowed to take matter in their own hands and build up enterprise and prosperity, but somehow always end up dying or with a man who promises "to take care of them and relieve of their burden". nevertheless I enjoyed the little twists and turns, the wordy descriptions of people, nature and situations. Not the usual strength of the author and harder to get into it. Definitely had better mystery romances.

What a Story!

(5 Sterne)

I have yet to read or listen to a book by Southworth that didn't keep me on the edge of my seat. Midway through this story, when things got sadder and sadder, I was about to quit listening to it altogether, when the story took a turn and I was fully engrossed all the way to the very end. This book was read by several readers, all who did an excellent job.

This book is disappointing after reading & loving The Hidden Hand. It is very much like a Soap Opera... There's no funny parts, and it's not wholesome like I expected. It's mainly just lovers and death and a frustrating storyline. I will not be listening to it again.

awful narration.

(0,5 Sterne)

I have annoyed other books by this author , but I could not make it past chapter 4 of this book thanks to the narration. I do wish the readers would simply read & not attempt character voices.

Captivating mystery, intrigue, deceit, duty, love. This is an excellent author, I am surprised that I never heard of Southworth until recently. Excellent job by the readers!
