The Banishment

The Daughters of Mannerling, Book 1

De: M. C. Beaton

Narrado por: Lizzie Stanton

Could she ever love a gentleman as much as she loved her magnificent home?

Isabella Beverley is blessed with unparalleled beauty but, unfortunately, has been raised in the most snobbish and haughtiest of families. When her father gambles away their fortune - including Mannerling, the exquisite family mansion - Isabella discovers there is very little sympathy for her plight. As the eldest, Isabella is chosen to court Mr. Judd, the roguish bachelor who won Mannerling. Surely no sacrifice is too great to regain Mannerling? But tempting her away from Mr. Judd is Lord Fitzpatrick, an Irish rake who fears Isabella can never love a man as she does her home. He is nonetheless determined to convince her to choose man over manse.

Fantastic story

I love all the MC Beaton books. This one is great. I love the story

Excellent

I can only smile throughout an M.C. Beaton story. She has a. way of holding up the ridiculous faults in society for examination in an entertaining manner then, turning attitudes on then ear for the best.

Loved it

Wonderful sweet story. I absolutely love this writer, it always is a success getting one of her (or his) books.

Good story!

I enjoyed this book very much except the ending leaves you hanging. I think it’s not right for Audible to make the other books in the series cost you a credit. They are short books and I do not want to use my credit for a short story.

do have a listen

sweet story. was really good.,...
do have a listen.. now I need to see what happens next.

Pleasant

This was probably truest to historical facts of the day than most period romances. Nothing too dramatic and everyone gets what they deserve.

unpleasant characters

This story centers around a family fled with unlikable characters which makes the reader unconcerned with what happens to them. Even the secondary characters are wholly unpleasant.

Well done

An excellent start to the series. The audio is very well done. I hope the same reader does the next book.

the Mannerling girls

I like to listen to this book while doing chores or cooking .
In this book we get to see the start of the mannerling madness. how the love for material things may blind you to the thing around you . But like in most of this book you will get a HEA.

enjoyable

i enjoyed this book very much. only problem was the ending was a little unresolved.
