je suis gallic passion
Winning narration! From delicate little French boy, to impassioned aristocrat, to star crossed English nanny.

Enjoyed it heaps despite dodgy narration.
Mary Stewart's books are the most enjoyable thinking person's adventure romances in existence, why the heck they can't get better narrators for them I don't know. This one frequently gets inflections totally wrong, and what's with the cockney accent for the French servants? But listen anyway, cause the story is great fun. Friendless heroine, lost child, scheming aristocrats, romantic French countryside, a fair bit of running around in fast cars, and a devastatingly masculine romantic lead (as well as his opposite number, one of the most friendzoned males ever created, sorry Will!)

Still a good thriller and romance
I read all the Mary Stewart books as a teenager. More than once. The stories and characters have held up to time, coming back to them 50 years later. The narration is excellent.
