Acerca de esta escucha

Rich in historical detail, Heather Terrell’s mesmerizing novel Brigid of Kildare is the story of the revolutionary Saint Brigid and the discovery of the oldest illuminated manuscript in the annals of the church, a manuscript that contains an astonishing secret history.

Fifth-century Ireland: Brigid is Ireland’s first and only female priest and bishop. Followers flock to her Kildare abbey and scriptorium. Hearing accounts of Brigid’s power, the church deems her a threat and sends Decius, a Roman priest and scribe, on a secret mission to collect proof of Brigid’s heresy.

As Decius records the unorthodox practices of Brigid and her abbey, he becomes intrigued by her. When Brigid assigns Decius a holy task - to create the most important and sacred manuscript ever made - he finds himself at odds with his original mission and faces the most difficult decision of his life.

Modern day: Alexandra Patterson, an appraiser of medieval relics, has been summoned to Kildare to examine a reliquary box believed to belong to Saint Brigid. Hidden within the sacred box is the most beautiful illuminated manuscript Alex has ever seen. But even more extraordinary is the contents of the manuscript’s vellum pages, which may have dire repercussions for the Catholic Church and could very well rewrite the origins of Christianity.

Brigid of Kildare is written by Marie Benedict as Heather Terrell.

Classic Marie Benedict story of a heroine. Narration was terrible. I wish I’d read the actual book instead

Good story - poor narration

Loved it from start to finish. I've been to Ireland many times so I felt like I was there again, but of course at a very different time.

I was very interested in the subject but it took me three tries to get past the narrator. Her choice to portray an academic studying medieval religious artifacts with a valley girl accent was quite unbelievable

I really wanted to be engrossed in this book because I find the topic very interesting. I found my mind wandering and had to keep rewinding the track. I would not be willing to listen to this again, I found the narrator very tedious to listen too.

Challenging listen

This is such good, unique historical fiction. A lot earlier period for starters! Written by Marie Benedict before she blew up, it has all the earmarks of her writing -- beginning with a strong woman making things happen! Plus reliable research and a great plot that brings it all to life. Highly recommended.

Wonderful -- and different

A worthy saint

Marie Benedict writes wonderful stories so it’s no surprise I enjoyed it. Wish I had read it though, because the narration was not good: sloppy, inconsistent accents and one of the main characters sounded inappropriately whiney.

Love the story

The book was very interesting but the narration was often irritating. I found that if you speeded up the narration (especially the “Italian” parts) it took some of the edge off. This book would be much better with a different narrator.

Avid reader

I wish I could of listened to book, but the reader using a Gallic accent just couldn't hold my interest. It was so choppy, and harsh listening to this reader even though it was well intended by the author. I love all of Marie Benedicts as an author, but this reader just could not hold my attention.

Could not hold interest because of reader
