Book description
Imagine hearing a historical novel that crackles with the energy of a secret romance and the sharp wit of a Jane Austen gone thrillingly rogue. That's The Bride Stone on audiobook, and it's pure magic. As The Times declared, it's a "delicious romp," and you'll feel that delight instantly-the kind of story that grabs you by the hand and whirls you through 1796 England with a heart-pounding urgency.
Picture this: Duval, just freed from a French prison, races home to find his estate in chaos. His father's dying wish? Marry within 48 hours or lose everything. Desperate, Duval stumbles upon a horrifying "wife sale," where women are treated as property. Then he sees her-Edmée, with eyes holding shadows and a quiet strength that stops him cold. He bids wildly, secures her, and wins the estate... only to realize he's just begun a far more dangerous journey. Edmée isn't who she claims, and her secrets could shatter Duval's world.
What makes this audiobook utterly irresistible? Sally Gardner's prose, praised as "beguiling" and "magical storytelling," comes alive in the narrator's voice. You'll hear the frantic tick of Duval's clock-two days, seven hours-feel the tension of the wife sale scene (a moment that'll leave you breathless), and lean into Edmée's whispered confessions. The narrator doesn't just read the words; they become the story, layering in the grit of a society where women's lives are bartered, the sharpness of Duval's desperation, and the slow, thrilling pull of a bond forged in secrets.
Critics absolutely adore this book-the Observer called it "seductive," Amanda Craig said it's "bold and original," and Meg Rosoff's praise that Gardner is "part storyteller, part magician" feels like the audiobook's very heartbeat. And readers? They're hooked. One wrote, "I was utterly captivated... I raced through this novel," and another begged, "I hope the BBC immediately turns this into a period drama!" You'll feel that same urge-the need to hear every twist, every whispered secret, as the clock ticks down.
This isn't just a historical romance; it's a masterclass in voice-driven storytelling. The audiobook turns the tension of a marriage of convenience into a pulse-pounding dance, where every line crackles with the weight of unspoken history. You'll be laughing at Duval's sharp wit, gasping at Edmée's hidden past, and utterly convinced that Sally Gardner, as Caroline Lea raved, "writes so brilliantly... compelling, thrilling, beguiling." It's the kind of book that lingers long after the final word-so much so, you'll find yourself replaying the best moments, already imagining how the BBC might bring this bewitching world to life. Trust me: this is the audiobook you'll beg your friends to hear. You won't just read it; you'll live it.
