Story
In 1785, a sensational trial began in Paris that would divide the country and captivate Europe. A leading Catholic cardinal and scion of one of the most distinguished families in France stood accused of forging the queen’s signature to obtain the most expensive piece of jewelry in Europe: a 2,800-carat diamond necklace. Known as the Affair of the Diamond Necklace, it contributed to the French populace’s disillusionment with the monarchy and precipitated the French Revolution. The Queen’s Necklace, loosely based on the Affair, is Dumas’ take on the royal scandal.

Too Monotone for many characters

Too monotone for many characters. Hard to track. Seemed like it’d be good, so I tried to stick with it.

Drawn out

I enjoyed the first hour or so, but after that, it became predictable and repetitive.

Story
When Xerxes, king of Persia, issues a call for beautiful young women, Hadassah, a Jewish orphan living in Susa, is forcibly taken to the palace of the pagan ruler. After months of preparation, the girl known to the Persians as Esther wins the king's heart and a queen's crown. But because her situation is uncertain, she keeps her ethnic identity a secret until she learns that an evil and ambitious man has won the king's permission to exterminate all Jews - young and old, powerful, and helpless.

So slow
Reviewed: 04-20-23
The narrator talked, so slowly, even after I turned up the speed. Her tone of voice was not helpful for the topic she was discussing. Her voice ultimately made me stop the book with close to six hours remaining. She seem to repeat the same things ad nauseam And sounded as though she was talking down to her audience.
