About this listen

Growing up in far-off India, wealthy young heiress Lady Victoria Arbuthnot is accustomed to handling her own affairs. But in her sixteenth year, Vicky is unceremoniously shipped off to London to find a husband. She may be in a strange new city, but Vicky knows one thing: her own mind. And she has decided that handsome, worldly Hugo Rothschild will suit her needs admirably in the matrimonial department.

But raffish young ship captain Jacob Carstairs disagrees. Vicky is mystified by Jacob's insistence that Hugo is not for her, that is, until it becomes clear that Hugo is not all he professes to be. Not only has Vicky misjudged Hugo, she has misjudged Jacob...and the reason for his interference. Will Vicky be forced to admit that, for the first time in her life, she might actually be wrong?

I would have loved it except it's abridged

I was never so disappointed in my life to find that this audiobook is abridged. Abridged! An already short book! Each line, so cleverly written by Meg Cabot, was axed and destroyed and mangled. And for what purpose? None whatsoever. The story is left boring and dry.

I love this book. It's one of my favourite comfort reads and it never fails to make me laugh. I've read it more times than I can count. So when I discovered that there was an audiobook, I was excited and couldn't wait to listen to it.

Then, when I began listening, suddenly there seemed to be sentences missing. Or the sentence would be cut off and the words would play silently in my head. I can remember each sentence clearly, having read it since I was 16 (that's 18 years at approximately once or twice every two years).

And after a little while, the realization dawned that someone - who should be banned from book publishing for life - cut it down and ruined all of the good parts. I'll never forgive them.

So don't listen to the audiobook. Find a real copy!
