A Most Beautiful Series

This book only excites and makes you hunger for the next one. I am loving it.

I am a fan of the Poldark series

Have you listened to any of Oliver J. Hembrough’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes and I prefer him. Because he varies his voice between the characters it's easy to follow along easily.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No.

Enjoying this series and characters.

I enjoyed listening to the characters develop and the twists and turns in the different storylines of of the four Swans. I keep hoping that Ross and Demelza will learn to communicate better with each other but this is the late 1700s...

Exciting end of this Novel

I think this would have to be my favorite novel of Mr. Graham's thus far and I'm eager to continue

Wonderful!

Once again the narrator blew me away with his accents and his emotion. Truly able to feel like I'm in the story when listening to this series. A gorgeous book with sadness, happiness, triumph and turmoil. Love, hate, feuds, and so much more. And of course, beautiful Cornwall as the backdrop of a fantastic story with colorful, relatable characters.
