All Maggie Mash did was "MAKE A MASH" from an otherwise great book. Narrators Charleton Griffin or Simon Vance or John Lee could have pulled this off successfully. This book should have been narrated by a man since most of the source material quoted is from male chroniclers. On top of not sounding very good in a male voice, she uses all sorts of accents, from British to Italian to Spanish - but, with the archaic prose of that era, she sounds like Hitler - punching each word out like people who send text messages in capital letters. Sometimes there's 4 to 5 of these "dramatic flairs" in just one sentence. For some reason she uses all of these mostly male voices to emphasize at least one word or phrase in every single sentence. However, the narrator totally ruined this for me. This work is probably a winner in hard copy. She checks, double-checks, and triple-checks her facts. Fans of Alison Weir knows that her historical nonfiction works are better than Cliff Notes.
