Summary

From the internationally bestselling author of A Woman of Substance

The story of two brilliant women and the men to whom they ransomed their hearts.

Katharine Tempest is a world-famous actress and star – a dark-haired beauty with a volcanic temperament.

Francesca Cunningham is blonde, cool, distant – the aristocratic writer of bestselling historical romances.

Voice of the Heart is the spellbinding story of two unique and brilliant women – and the charismatic men whom they loved and lost…

‘It really keeps you turning the pages, wondering just why it is that two beautiful and successful women who were once great friends are now sworn enemies.’ Express

I have listen and red a lot of Barbara Taylor Bradford books. this one was a surprise and there was not sure about it, or whither I would like it. well I liked it enough I listen to it 3 times. it can maybe hard to follow but stick with it it's worth it if not a bit sad at time . audible recommended it. I love the people do they use to read the stories to you it's like having a book read out to you when you were a child.

Very disappointed with nararrator

I really enjoy Johanna Lyndsay books normally as it's very easy listening. However the person reading this book was very disappointing. The tone and lack of difference in the various characters was shocking. Compared to previous lyndsay books it was dire.

Disappointing

What disappointed you about Voice of the Heart?

The story was not the page-turner I was expecting; it was boring and despite persisting, I still gave up half way through. I couldn't care about the characters and the narrator's voice was not easy to listen to. Not a great combination if the story doesn't grip you either.

Extremely disappointing

I usually love B T Bradford books but was so disappointed it was slow and borrowing and badly read. I only got 1/4 of the way through and gave up which I’ve never done before
