Narrator Morag Sims delivers a performance nuanced with subtle adjustments to accents and volume that listeners will love in this historical romance. Lucy Muchelney leaps at the opportunity to translate an astronomy text into French, but her attention is divided between the project and the alluring Catherine St Day, countess of Moth. As she and Catherine grow closer, Lucy will have to let go of past hurts and convince the widowed Catherine that they both deserve a second chance at love. Sims has a unique ability to bestow each character with her own tone and pacing, which allows listeners to identify her even without the use of dialogue tags, resulting in a luxurious listening experience.
