About this listen

Yorkshire Dales, August 1913

American heiress India, Lady Kilnsey, enjoys the very comfortable life of an English peeress in her husband's ancestral castle. She is deeply in love with her earl, and he adores her. Her inherited fortune provides a life that is elegant, happy, and peaceful, but ominous clouds are gathering across the Channel. The clang of rattling sabers can be heard throughout Europe. In a few short months, their lives are altered forever.

Archduke Ferdinand is assassinated, and the world explodes in war bringing previously unimaginable changes to castle life and in India herself. With her husband amongst the first to volunteer, India is left to shoulder unexpected responsibilities, to deal with dangerous men, and to search desperately for something precious that is lost.

Perfect for fans of Marie Benedict, Helen Simonson, and Julian Fellows, The American Countess continues India's story that began with the popular The Last Dollar Princess and takes listeners on a journey of discovery, suspense, and resolution of a longstanding mystery. India's determination, courage, and strength make her a character not easily forgotten.

The story is trite but a pleasant time- passer in the car. But, again: the audible narration is jarring, it is so bad. Did no editor listen to this mess before is was released?

This young woman is the absolute WORST narrator I have ever heard!

The story is a very compelling one, but narration is rough and difficult to listen to. I think reading it versus listening would be preferable.

Love the story, tough to listen to

While I’m sure the book is good, I can’t get past chapter 5 because this is 100% AI reading this and not a real person. If a real person read this it might be good but I just can’t tell.

This Is AI- Not Read by An Actual Person
