The Ladies of Grace Adieu and Other Stories — ranked audiobook

This week’s list includes The Ladies of Grace Adieu and Other Stories, from Susanna Clarke. Press play and stay for every chapter.

Susanna Clarke returns with an enchanting collection brimming with all the ingredients of good fairy tales: petulant princesses, vengeful owls, ladies who pass their time by embroidering terrible fates; endless paths in the deep, dark woods; and houses that never appear the same way twice. The heroines and heroes who must grapple with these problems include the Duke of Wellington; a conceited Regency clergyman; an 18th-century Jewish doctor; and Mary, Queen of Scots; as well as Jonathan Strange and the Raven King. The Ladies of Grace Adieu and Other Stories introduces listeners to a world where charm is always tempered by eeriness, and picaresque comedy is always darkened by the disturbing shadow of magic. ©2006 Susanna Clarke (P)2006 Audio Renaissance, a divison of Holtzbrinck Publishers, LLC
