![]() ![]() Patience Tomlinson does a great job narrating. The author successfully uses literary license to weave known historical facts with fiction to deliver a good story. ![]() It definitely "scratched that itch" for me. I gambled my refunded credit on this book. I returned it but still had a "hankering" to learn a little bit about Queen Isabel of Spain. Nothing wrong with that except who wants to listen to "Nana" reading about buggering boys?!?! It's really sad when a writer ruins her own book. Unlimited access to audiobooks & ebooks in English, Marathi, Hindi. Great, right? NEGATORY!!! It may have been a good story but the author decided that SHE WHO WRITES CAN ALSO NARRATE! It was awful! It sounded like somebody's Granny reading "Cinderella" while trying to keep her dentures from falling out! Plus you can't write about Isabella without mentioning her predecessor and half-brother King Henry IV, a well-known and overt homosexual who preferred young boys. Crown of Aloes Author: Norah Lofts Narrator: Patience Tomlinson Open your ears to stories. ![]() I so wanted to listen to an audiobook about Spanish history, either fact or fiction based on fact, so I searched the database here and came up with "The Crown of Castile: How Isabel Happened To Become Queen" by Beverly Enwall. ![]()
