Publisher's Summary
Julian Fellowes's Belgravia is the story of a secret. A secret that unravels behind the porticoed doors of London's grandest postcode. Set in the 1840s, when the upper echelons of society began to rub shoulders with the emerging industrial nouveau riche, Belgravia is peopled by a rich cast of characters. But the story begins on the eve of the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. At the Duchess of Richmond's new legendary ball, one family's life will change forever.
What the critics say
"...the story is expertly narrated by [Juliet] Stevenson, who paces it expertly in her highly listenable voice. Her delicious characterizations include some aggrieved and unctuous younger sons, a breathtakingly crisp countess, a good-hearted hero, a spirited heroine, shiver-inducing cardsharps, and oh so many more."

Really enjoy the story.
LOVE the narration. Didn't think I would enjoy the voice changes, but it added so much to the listening experience.

Lovely listen
An easy and enjoyable listen. The threads of Downton Abbey are apparent. Superb performance.

Hugely entertaining
The story alone meets every expectation of a historical romance. Unlike Jane Austen’s Emma which I just finished, Fellowes cuts through a broad swath of society, vividly animating every social stratum. Juliet Stevenson outdoes herself by inhabiting each character convincingly, adopting a different speech pattern for each. Even her men are convincing. I found this book by searching her name to see what else, after Emma, she had performed. Her reading is half the pleasure of the book and I will search in TV for more by her.

If you're into historical drama...
And the usual class warfare of the 1800's, you'll love Belgravia. It's rife with identity politics, class discrepancy, and family secrets. Julien Fellows does it again, and this time, with some incredibly intriguing mother-characters (which can be extremely hard to come by in this day and age).
Juliet Stevenson delivers a stunning performance as narrator. For Downton lovers, this is one you won't want to miss.
My only critique of the story is that the world seems a little small. Generally speaking, historical fiction takes into account a lot of the world around the narrative that is central to the story, and while there is an attempt at this at the beginning, the sentiment of the thread is not carried through the entire story.

Very Enjoyable!
This 2016 novel is the basis for the eponymous 2019 television series. There are few differences between the two so that reading the book is like watching the series a second time, far from an unpleasant proposition. A few elements simply referred to in the novel are actually shown on TV. In reverse, the psychology of certain characters, notably Susan, is more developed in writing. In both media, however, the Earl of Brockenhurst is inexplicably blind to what is so obvious from the start to his wife.
In contrast with Downton Abbey, by the same author, the story shows here that having many servants in your home generates a risk for major unpleasantness.
The audio version is expertly narrated, almost dramatized in fact.
This work is strongly recommended to all with an interest in 19th century Britain.
