A captivating epic saga of courage and honor, following the aristocratic Inghams and the loyal Swann family who have served them for centuries.

It is 1938 in England, and Miles and Cecily Ingham have lead the family in bringing the Cavendon estate back from the brink of disaster. But now, with the arrival of World War II, Cavendon Hall will face its biggest challenge yet. It is a challenge that will push the Inghams and Swanns to protect each other and the villagers, and reveal their true capacity for survival and rebirth. Told with Bradford’s deft, evocative prose and featuring a beloved cast of characters, The Cavendon Luck is a story of intrigue, romance, sorrow, and joy that listeners won’t soon forget.

Set during WWII, this Cavendon Hall novel is a perfect blend of romance, historical detail, and intrigue. Narrator Anne Bentinck’s pace encourages listeners to take a break from contemporary life and enter the world of the Inghams and the Swanns, a slower, if not less complicated, time. Bentinck narrates with a British accent, providing unique voices for the characters that cross paths with the residents of Cavendon Hall. However, her female voices are more varied than her voices for the male characters. As the story moves to Hitler’s Berlin and to America, Bentinck employs German-accented English and even an American accent for the actor Clark Gable. This attention to detail keeps listeners rooted in the time and place of the novel…. � AudioFile 2016

A readers comments….”As typical of a BTB book, this story is heavy on the daily issues of life between the two families and really not a lot of depth. But in her traditional fashion, the author manages to keep us involved along the way. I think the audio version has a lot to do with that as the reader is talented and engaging.”

“I think it’s possible that future books could do with family trees as there are so very many characters to keep track of and the characters often have dialogue to remind the reader about relationships, which feels unnatural.”
