October 30, 2017
In Politano’s artful tale of faith, class, and surprising tenderness in 1860s English high society, Aurelie Rosette Harcourt makes a dramatic switch from debtor’s prison to the opulent Lynhurst Manor. After Aurelie’s father was sent to Shepton Mallet Prison in Somerset, Lady Eudora Pochard, Aurelie’s wealthy aunt, turned her back on her brother. But now that he is dead and Aurelie is homeless, Lady Pochard takes in the teenage girl, however begrudgingly. Aurelie is also privy to a secret about her father: he was a successful novelist writing under the pen name Nathaniel Droll. To extend his legacy, Aurelie decides to become Droll herself and finish Lady Jayne, the story her father started before his death. The conniving, charismatic Silas Rotherham is also a new guest at Lynhurst Manor, staying there under the guise of courting Lady Pochard’s granddaughter; almost immediately, Aurelie and Rotherham are magnetically attracted to and repelled by each other. While Lynhurst Manor and the lavish lifestyle are appealing to Aurelie, the social double-dealing tries and (eventually) rejuvenates her faith. In depicting Aurelie’s dogged pursuit of finishing her father’s work, Politano also poignantly explores the rules (spoken and unspoken) of 19th-century English society in this excellent tale.

- content: Narrator Justine Eyre is engaging in her portrayal of lovely Aurelie Harcourt, a young woman raised in a debtor's prison along with her father. Upon his mysterious death, she assumes his pen name, Nathaniel Droll, and goes to live with his indifferent and haughty family. There, she begins to solve the mystery of the long-ago disappearance of her mother and the possible murder of her father. Eyre's portrayals are flawless. She expertly engages the listener, hitting every note with the perfect accent and interpretation. A.C.P. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine
