Portrait of an Unknown woman
Excellent mix of Fiction and history! Edge of your seat listening. I felt transported back to the 1500's and King Henry the VIII's court.

Josephine Bailey speaks in such a monotone that I've avoided buying several books on CD because she's the narrator. I'm fascinated w/the reign of Henry VIII and historical fiction of that time period should make good listening. I thought that I would learn more about Thomas More and I did somewhat but I had difficulty listening for any length of time and had to keep turning the CD player off, thereby ruining momentum and continuity. This should have been a good blend of history and drama. Instead I found that I didn't like any of the characters and didn't care a whit about what happened to any of them. I will listen again perhaps after enjoying a glass of wine to mellow me in preparation for this woman's booooring voice.
