About this listen

Set in the 1870s, the same period as Wharton's The Age of Innocence, The Buccaneers is about five wealthy American girls denied entry into New York Society because their parents' money is too new. At the suggestion of their clever governess, the girls sail to London, where they marry lords, earls, and dukes who find their beauty charming—and their wealth extremely useful.

An unfinished work and in need of a deal of revisions of style and of ruthless editing.

Disappointing

Ruined a wonderful author’s book
One of the wort read far too fast and unsuitable for the novel each character indistinguishable

Appalling narration

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Really good book but the naration is poor and very irritating. The reader speaks so quickly that it's quite difficult to follow the story - disappointing.

good book, awful naration
