Publisher's Summary
As Lucy Muchelney watches her ex-lover’s sham of a wedding, she wishes herself anywhere else. It isn’t until she finds a letter from the countess of Moth, looking for someone to translate a groundbreaking French astronomy text, that she knows where to go. Showing up at the countess’ London home, she hoped to find a challenge, not a woman who takes her breath away.
Catherine St Day looks forward to a quiet widowhood once her late husband’s scientific legacy is fulfilled. She expected to hand off the translation and wash her hands of the project - instead, she is intrigued by the young woman who turns up at her door, begging to be allowed to do the work, and she agrees to let Lucy stay. But as Catherine finds herself longing for Lucy, everything she believes about herself and her life is tested.
While Lucy spends her days interpreting the complicated French text, she spends her nights falling in love with the alluring Catherine. But sabotage and old wounds threaten to sever the threads that bind them. Can Lucy and Catherine find the strength to stay together, or are they doomed to be star-crossed lovers?

The voices are funny, but entertaining
The story I'd give 5 stars: poetic, lovely, and hopeful!
The audio narrating work : it sounds like trolling at times. She makes a 35-40 year old women sounds like a 70 year old with some terminal illness. But it is entertaining that way too, although it can be distracting at times. I had to stop myself several times with a grin across my face thinking "Oh my god the French accent does not sound like that !", " Does the character have a lisp or something?" But I thoroughly enjoyed the humor of it. Definitively much better than monotonous singular voice and kept me thoroughly entertained.
