Set in the sixteenth century, two young boys are left orphans and are turned out of their home by their older brother, or, more particularly, his shrewish wife. John has taken over their father's position as verdurer, but what are young Ambrose and Stephen to do? Visit and seek counsel from their old and infirm uncle, who lives on charity after leading a military life? Or chase the dream of finding their ne'er-do-well maternal uncle, who has reputedly made his fortune in the king's court. - Summary by Lynne Thompson (11 hr 23 min)

Frustrating





Phxjennifer
I rarely complain about narration, but this book was difficult to listen to. I enjoy historical fiction, but I really want to know what's going on in the book. Lynne T. did a very good job, but the other readers were either too fast, didn't enunciate, mispronounced far too many words, or were very high-pitched. When there is a single narrator, there are apps that can adjust for that person, but for multiple speakers it's impractical. There's a lot of great history happening in this book, and the author uses both an archaic and sophisticated vocabulary. I would love to hear it again with a single narrator.
