I want Richard to read Faro's Daughter or Devil's Cub.Beverlyhttp://www.beverlyfarr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26185264.post-24255215809247067312012-02-11T08:59:55.157-08:002012-02-11T08:59:55.157-08:00I read a lot of Heyer as a youth but have now glad...I read a lot of Heyer as a youth but have now gladly rediscovered her thanks to the audiobooks read by Richard Armitage. His voice is fantastic and her does the female characters just as well as the males! I thought Venetia was my favourite until I finally heard him do Sylvester. Truly a tour de force!<br />The only problem is that they are abridged. (I know!) But still so worthwhile if you ever get a chance to listen to one.Phylly3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10551254554577516351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26185264.post-28058030873584564132011-09-15T03:53:45.290-07:002011-09-15T03:53:45.290-07:00Marg: I hope you change that quickly !

(I was looking for "The Foundling" but couldn't find it, so instead I got "The Grand Sophy," which several people have recommended.)Ginahttp://dickensblog.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
