À propos de cet audio

The debut novel from the creator of the Regency genre of romance fiction

Based on a story she had written for her brother and published when she was 19 years old, The Black Moth is set during the Georgian era in the 1750s and follows Lord Jack Carstares, the eldest son of the Earl of Wyncham. Six years ago, Jack took the blame when his younger brother Richard cheated at cards. Jack consequently faced social exile and fled England for the European continent. He has now secretly returned, robbing carriages as a highwayman.

One day, he rescues Miss Diana Beauleigh when she is almost abducted by the Duke of Andover. Jack and Diana fall in love, but his troubled past and current profession threaten their happiness.

In a contemporary review published in 1921, the Times Literary Supplement deemed the protagonist Jack a “fascinating hero of romance” and added that the novel was “a well-filled story which keeps the reader pleased”.

The novel by someone not yet old enough to have experience with real love 💕. But very close to understanding the emotions the throes of being in love and marriage the narration was okay but at times seemed as young as the author! All in all it is still a pleasant listen

Early learning

other than the voice for Lavinia I really enjoyed this narration. 100 year old book, based 150 years before it was written. lovely language, fun and slightly silly story.

wonderful, fun and melodramatic

This is clearly an early effort. For me, the story is disjointed and somewhat unbelievable —could Lavinia really be that stupid? With so many people knowing the brothers that well, why would there not be protest especially by parents and best friends, for the punishment meted out? Readers need to suspend disbelief but this one asks too much.

Disappointed
