5/24/2023 0 Comments Penelope by Anya Wylde![]() ![]() ![]() I received a free copy from the author and am choosing to review. Overall, this is one i would recommend to readers who are not looking for a serious read. Even the servants all had a distinct voice! This is the second book I've heard from this narrator, and I think I am a fan now. The narrator does a superb job of bringing the characters to life. In a time where bloomers were not common? And no chemise under the corset? And I did sigh when Penelope was tight laced into the corset. There is a scene where Penelope is discovered by the duke in nothing but a corset and bloomers. There are a few details that keep me from loving it completely. ![]() Coming back to it this year to listen to, I hoped I wouldn't be let down. Can she learn to mend her ways before the duke sends her back to the country? I read this book many years ago, and remember being amused by the silliness. However, the young lady's unpolished country upbringing land her in disgrace with the Duke of Blackthorne. When Miss Penelope Fairweather arrives in London, she charms her way into the affections of the Dowager and Lady Anne. ![]()
