Why You'll Love This
It takes a certain boldness to cast a male narrator on a story about a woman who turns her betrayal into an empire — Emery earns it.
- Great if you want: historical fiction with a resilient woman outsmarting a rigged system
- Listening experience: steady and absorbing — Steel's clean pacing keeps 10 hours moving
- Narration: Emery's measured, aristocratic delivery fits the Victorian world naturally
- Skip if: you find Steel's prose too polished for gritty historical drama
