About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Sylvester is read by Matt Addis, who appears in Doctors and Doctor Who.

Sylvester, Duke of Salford, is considering marriage.

Endowed with rank, wealth and elegance, Sylvester, Duke of Salford, posts into Wiltshire to discover if the Honorable Phoebe Marlow will meet his exacting requirements for a bride. If he does not expect to meet a tongue-tied stripling wanting both manners and conduct, then he is intrigued indeed when his visit causes Phoebe to flee her home. They meet again on the road to London, where her carriage has come to grief in the snow. Yet Phoebe, already caught in one imbroglio, now knows she soon could be well deep in another....

A typically wonderful historical novel, Sylvester shows once more why Georgette Heyer is the undisputed queen of the genre she created - the Regency romance.

I absolutely loved it - just brilliant! The narration was excellent and the story is superb, I know I'll listen to it again many times. Some of the best narration I've ever heard!

This was always one of my favourite of Heyer’s books and the narration is wonderful. I will listen many times I think.

For those who don’t know it, it’s fun, full of events, lovely characterisations and a read to really lose yourself in when days need lightening.

Fabulous!

I have been so disappointed by the new recordings of Heyer's books, but finally here is one that does not disappoint. The reading is clear and entertaining and, although I agree with another reviewer that Tom and Edmund sound a bit too old, overall this version ranks alongside the previous one read by Nicholas Rowe. I still wish the other version were available for people new to Heyer audiobooks but I am so glad I have them all in my library as they have been my comfort listens over the last four years.

Very good recording of an entertaining story

I have been a huge GH fan since I was a young girl and Sylvester has always been a much loved story of mine. Matt Addis's narration was fabulous and got all of my favourite characters to an absolute T. If only he could do the other of hers - I would re-order them all!

An absolute delight. One of Georgette Heyer’s best stories with laugh out loud moments. The narrator is exceptional, controlling a large cast with lovely characterisation. If you want a break from grim reality this is the book for you, I could hear it all again!

Wit, charm, beautifully performed

As Always with Georgette Heyer excellent tale, narrated well.

Haven’t read this one - the plot is hilarious and touching and the performances Mme (this time) really did it justice.
