About this listen

More commonly known as The Charterhouse of Parma in English, this captivating novel transports readers into the life of a Lombard nobleman who emerges just as Napoleons army invades Italy. With a backdrop of love, war, and intricate political maneuvering, the story unfolds through the lens of his doting aunt, who becomes the Prime Ministers mistress and a powerful figure in the Duchy of Parma. This character serves as a wish-fulfillment avatar for the author, adding depth to the narrative. While the characters may not find traditional happiness, the journey is filled with engaging adventures and rich storytelling, offering a distinctly uplifting experience compared to The Red and the Black. (Summary by Antony Brown) Proof-listened by abigayl & Kimberly Krause
