I loved the day-to-day scenes of life for people in a Time that I am not well acquainted with. very well researched it seems. this is my second reading/listen and it was even better the second time! I look forward to reading/listening to it again sometime in the future. the female narrator was excellent; the male narrator was good.

too spicy/explicit

What a great series. I have enjoyed tremendously listening to this amazing story. I can’t imagine what the next in the series can offer but I look forward to listening. The first book was just as good as the second. Oh that we might all be so faithful as Hadassah!

Story
One moment Joseph Schwartz is a happily retired tailor in Chicago, 1949. The next he's a helpless stranger on Earth during the heyday of the first Galactic Empire. Earth, as he soon learns, is a backwater, just a pebble in the sky, despised by all the other 200 million planets of the Empire because its people dare to claim it's the original home of man. And Earth is poor, with great areas of radioactivity ruining much of its soil - so poor that everyone is sentenced to death at the age of 60. Joseph Schwartz is 62.

Story
In early 1901, 15 years after Little Lord Fauntleroy and 10 years before The Secret Garden, Frances Hodgson Burnett wrote The Making of a Marchioness. She followed this short novel in the spring of the same year with the sequel, The Methods of Lady Walderhurst. The satisfying Cinderella quality of the first book which illustrated the harsh realism of Edwardian society, combines with the exciting melodramatic developments in the second book to create an intriguing story that continues to entertain us today.

I read the secret Garden years ago and loved it. This was a very different kind of book; the characters were very different in that the men and women's characters were new types to me. Our modern era has a very different view on the character of people in society. A very interesting book.

It never got in the way of the story
