Faro's Daughter
This is one that is probably going to have to come from a library. It was originally a Chivers production, then Chivers was bought by BBC and now does not show as available on the BBC America audiobook site.Honestly, if an audiobook has already been produced putting it out on CD or as an audible release seems like an excellent idea. I know lots of women who who enjoy listening to a Heyer novel over the lastest slasher fiction on their way to work. I found the miles passed very quickly while I listened to this 8+ hour reading of one of Heyer's more charming novels, originally published in 1941.Eve Matheson, the reader, has a pleasant voice with no annoying habits. My only objection is that she sounds a bit middle aged for the majority of the characters. Her interpretations of characters such of Lady Bellington, the heroine's flighty aunt, and Adrian's mother are both letter perfect though. And surprisingly she does well with the ex-pugilist doorman, Wantage, and the slimy Lord Omskirk.If you get a chance, definitely listen to this one.
Faro's Daughter
This one of the best novels by this superb writer; the characters are both fascinating and delightfully amusing. If you have never read one of these classic romances, prepare to be hooked. Heyer fans are legion and read and reread her works...none of the the so called "romance novels" written today can come near to rivaling her books. After all, she founded the genre.
Faro's Daughter
I really enjoyed this book. The only downside to it is the slightly odd note the heroine strikes-- she is honorable and intelligent, yet does something very silly!Overall, a fun romp with a heroine who has a sense of honor, and a hero who makes a great mistake in his evaluation of her. Interesting because the setting and situations are very different than other Heyer books. A satisfying ending.
God's Abundance
I went through this book after purchasing it a year ago. At the end of each day, I would read & reflect upon the corresponding scripture, story and inspiration for that particular day. I found this to be a relaxing, prayerful way to wind down for an evening of peaceful slumber. On January 1st, I began the book again. Now, my husband joins me. We alternate evenings, reading the day's passage to each other. I highly recommend this book to anyone wishing to re-focus and simplify...it will help you recognize and appreciate God's abundance in your own life!

This book is great because each devotion is very short. I sometimes read several each day because I might miss a day some time.) There are so many good points in most of them, that when rereading the book, I now keep a separate notebook to write down certain points to remind me of their suggestions. Ie, under my own topics of: "to do each day" or "remember".
