I absolutely loved Downton Abbey and so when I heard about this book I was very excited! My other Goodreads friend warned me it was a bit slow at first. What I found for myself was it was okay at first - I was still very interested. Then, it got very slow. It does pick up but it's well after you've read more than half the book. I had sort of predicted what was going to happen. That didn't really bother me, but it just made the slowness unbearable. So, it's a good story line. It just takes wayAn Austen ScentWhy did I chose such a title to review Belgravia?! A book that was written 2 centuries after our precious Jane?!Is that your question?!...If youre really curious about it, here's what you should do:Close your eyes, open the book randomly, and get your nose as near as possible...Now you got it!... 😜Footnote: I must apologize for this, hmmmm, slightly crazy review. But sometimes a lil change of style is mandatory to flee from reiterations of overwhelming boredom 😜
This is that rarest thing, a book about a grandmother. It's really focused on the two grandmothers of what in most books would be the romantic hero but is here a bit part prize. As you'd expect from Fellowes, it's also about finely observed gradations of class, the agency of servants, social climbing, and loyalty. There are lovers. There's a villain, and a near villain who reforms at the last minute. There's a secret marriage and a hidden heir. There are shenanigans. There's the Duchess of
This review is going to be an unabashed celebration of Juliet Stevenson, the marvelous narrator of the Belgravia audiobook. I confess I downloaded this book not because it was written by the creator of the popular TV show "Downton Abbey," but because it was read by Juliet. I have become such a fan of audiobooks that in the past few years I have listened to more than 150 of them, and Juliet Stevenson is one of the very best performers working today. (She's also a great actress and I've loved her
Belgravia is what happens when you let a man write historical romance.Well, well, well, I am a huge fan of Downton Abbey and I couldn't believe that the same Julian Fellowes wrote Belgravia. It's not bad in the therms of a very bad book, but there were some things that just didn't work together. So, you will like Belgravia if:1. You have a degree in England's family tree and ties. If you know who is who's cousin and who can marry countesses and who don't you should be fine.2. You just can't get
I started out liking this book, but it became very tedious and drawn out, without the attention to detail that I loved about Downton Abbey.
2 stars Mehhhh, this was OK. When I first saw this in the bookstore I was so excited to read it - recently I've been in this historical fiction mood, and this had a gorgeous cover and promising great secrets and scandals in 1840s London. Yeah, that sounds awesome! But, unfortunately, it didn't work very well.The story was not terrible, but the only time I was really interested was the first and last few chapters - the 300 pages in between were SO BORING. I also didn't specially like any of the
