Story
From Australia's master storyteller comes an endearing and engaging novella about a journey as unexpected, painful, intriguing and character-filled as life itself. A cruise was the promise. To cruise away from their troubles. To cruise towards the place where they first met, on the banks of the Thames. A cruise to dwell in their memories together and plan their next chapter. Paddy and Jenny Davern have had a long and happy marriage together in Sydney. Together they embark on a cruise to London, for the last leisurely journey in each other's company.

In 1761, on a sunny day in September, a King and Queen met for the very first time. They were married within hours. Born a German Princess, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was beautiful, headstrong, and fiercely intelligent… not precisely the attributes the British Court had been seeking in a spouse for the young King George III. But her fire and independence were exactly what she, and her King, needed. Because George has secrets… secrets with the potential to shake the very foundations of the monarchy.

It is all very exciting and, really, quite thrilling no matter how young or old you may be. It is painful to try and imagine what the world would be like without them.

Publisher's Summary
Audible Studios presents a brand new recording of Charles Dickens' timeless seasonal story A Christmas Carol, performed by Hugh Grant.
First published in 1843, it tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a mean and unpleasant man who dislikes people generally and Christmas especially.
One Christmas Eve he is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come and given a glimpse of the many homes and lives which Scrooge has touched in his wretched life to date. After their visits, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man.

A Timeless Christmas Classic
This is my first ever read of the Classic tale which is astonishing as I'm 53! 😂 Of course, I've seen movies and I know the story but I have never actually read the whole story (well listened to it on Audible -read by Hugh Grant who surprisingly did various voices and was quite good. Not sure why I didn't think he'd be that good as I love him in movies but I wouldn't have picked him as a voice guy).
It's a timely reminder to live for the moment, enjoy friends & family and, although being financially stable is wonderful, it's not everything. Great read.
(I also only just watched It's a Wonderful Life with Jimmy Stewart - loved it - for the first time ever!)

I wasn’t certain what to expect having Hugh Grant narrate this classic story. However, I was very pleasantly surprised and cannot believe how quickly it was over. I definitely wanted it to go on longer. Highly recommend
