About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
The Convenient Marriage is read Jay by Avita Jay, who has appeared on stage in Sunday Morning at the Centre of the World, Peer Gynt and Bring on the Bollywood
Horry Winwood doesn't play by the rules.
So when her family are near ruin and her sister is about to enter a loveless marriage to a wealthy man to settle the family debts, young and headstrong Horry proposes to marry him in her sister's place.
As her new husband's attentions fall elsewhere, Horry begins to feel increasingly unhappy.
Then she meets the attractive and dangerous Lord Lethbridge, and her days suddenly become more exciting.
But there is bad blood between Horry's husband and her new acquaintance, and as complications and deceptions mount, the social tangle grows ever trickier to unpick.
Will Horry's gamble cost her everything she holds most dear?

Even though I wanted to know the outcome, I didn't want the book to end. As soon as I finished it, I wanted to start reading it straight away. However this will be a book I treat myself to, as a delicious break from my murder mysteries.
I highly recommend this, it is now my favourite GH book and I never thought Frederica or The Grand Sophie would be toppled from their shared Top Spot!

After such a long extensive lead …. It is within three sentences finished - which I found disappointing
But all in all - MOST ENJOYABLE!
Charming story …

Avita Jay has done a brilliant job in her telling of the story & her range of voices for the different characters was very well done. I felt her enthusiasm as she drew me back into a story that I knew very well but I just had to keep listening; it was like visiting a story for the very first time.
I will certainly be looking out for other audiobooks by Avita Jay in the future, she is a great addition to audiobooks.
Just on another note I was a little disappointed to see most of the other versions of Georgette Heyer books have disappeared from Audible listings, though I had managed to buy most of them, there was still a few I had wanted to add to my library. Could Audible not add a “soon to be retried list” so that it gives customers a chance to purchase books before they disappear for good. It is disappointing if you are collecting a series or a particular authors work & then find out you have missed your chance. I try to use my credits wisely & I also buy books from the sales & special promotions but there are so many genres of books that I collect from, that I have to limit what I can purchase each month.

she doesn't know the book, she doesn't know GH, she doesn't understand the slang, and she doesn't seem to really care.
