The Mistress of Pennington's

By: Rachel Brimble

Narrated by: Willow Nash

A compelling tale of female empowerment in Bath's leading department store. Perfect for the fans of the TV series Mr Selfridge and The Paradise.

It is 1910. Elizabeth Pennington should be the rightful heir of Bath’s premier department store through her enterprising schemes and dogged hard work. Her father, Edward Pennington believes his daughter lacks the business acumen to run his empire and is resolute a man will succeed him.

Determined to break from her father’s iron-clad hold and prove she is worthy of inheriting the store, Elizabeth forms an unlikely alliance with ambitious and charismatic master glove-maker Joseph Carter. United, they forge forward to bring Pennington’s into a new decade, embracing woman’s equality and progression whilst trying not to mix business and pleasure.

Can this dream team thwart Edward Pennington’s plans for the store? Or will Edward prove himself an unshakeable force who will ultimately ruin both Elizabeth and Joseph?

Women Suffrage

The two main characters seemed equals and well balanced. The progressive act that change everything including being the head a whole department store. I think that we as women take for granted what it used to be like and how far we have come.

I listen to clean, closed door stories and was really enjoying this one but at chapter 34 things got EXPLICT. And no I cannot say how explicit because at that point I skipped the chapter.I am inclined to believe the story continued in a clean fashion but I am no longer interested. The sad thing is I was enjoying the tale, although it got a bit repetitive at times and there were a couple of curses uttered,but overall it had good narration and a good pace. I wish I had read the reviews as I usually do. If you are like me and love good, clean story be warned. happy reading
