Oh my!

This is a companion book to the excellent Roxton series by Lucinda Brant and it by far exceeded my expectations. I cried a lot and laughed and smiled. If you even just like the Roxtons get this book but if you really enjoyed them it is essential. I am certain you will love it as much as I do. Enjoy.

Loved every second of these letters. Renard's letter to Antonia was heartbreaking i couldn't contain myself, I cried so much. Even the letter to Julian his son. I have been listening to these letters simultaneously with the previous books according ti the dates.
Alex Wyndham wad brilliant as always.
Now into to the next volume of letters.

Superb!

I have to confess I wasn't sure what to expect as I have never read a book of letters before.

I am so delighted I did as it gave all the background to complete the story and I have to say that Roxton's letter to Antonia is the most beautiful I have read in a very long time ❤

I cant wait to read Volume 2 and cannot recommend this book highly enough! Well done!

Simply Superb

Eternally Yours: Roxton Letters Volume One is the perfect companion to the first three books in the Roxton Family saga.

Perfectly written and with so much empathy and soul deep understanding of human nature and abiding love that I actually cried. Highly recommended, but read/listen to the letters after: NOBLE SATYR, MIDNIGHT MARRIAGE and AUTUMN DUCHESS because then the chief characters will feel like your intimate friends and I guarantee you will cry.

And what can I say about Alex Wyndham and his narration. Stupendous...As always this accomplished actor inhabits Lucinda Brant's characters and with his velvety tone and expert portrayal of each and every one of the cast, delivers a WOW performance that sends shivers down the spine. Bravo once again Ms. Brant and Mr. Wyndham.

Beautiful letter and diary entries

If you could sum up Eternally Yours: Roxton Letters Volume One in three words, what would they be?

Heartfelt written correspondence

Who was your favorite character and why?

The characters are numerous as the letters are from and to the intimate circle surrounding The Duke of Roxton and his family and friends. For anyone who has read and loved the Roxton books, this companion book is essential reading/listening. I was so sad when I reached the end of the books, so listening to this add-on book gives the back stories and added dimension to the books. It was a novel idea of Lucinda Brant (or maybe not, but it was the first time I had come across such additional information to support a series of books) that was wonderful to read. There are letters and diary entries from Antonia, The Duke, his son, the all-wise Martin Ellicott, The Valentine's and various other supporting 'cast' in the series.

What about Alex Wyndham’s performance did you like?

Amazing, crafted, sublime, heart-wrenching, talented, mellifluous, a stupendous actor - I need a Thesaurus to carry on.....

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I think the letter to Antonia from Roxton on the morning after their wedding and his letter to her before his death was one of the most exquitely written things I have ever read.
Antonia's diary entry after his death made me cry.
Alex Wyndham brought all the words to life from each writer - what an amazing talent to have.

Any additional comments?

If you have loved the Roxton series, then the letters can only add another beneficial dimension to the story. Having being so sad when the series ended, I felt quite thrilled that the series still continued by adding greater padding to the back-story, as we were allowed an intimate personal view into their lives. Wonderful and a joy to listen to.

Perfect.

Would you consider the audio edition of Eternally Yours: Roxton Letters Volume One to be better than the print version?

This is a difficult question to answer because the audio version couldn't be as good as it is without the wonderful material from the book that the narrator performs. That said, Alex Wyndham is the perfect performer, and the emotion he portrays during the reading of the letters and diary excerpts that this book consists of, just blew me away. He makes the characters so believable, and on occasion I even cried because what he was reading was so so sad. Well done to Lucinda Brant on writing the perfect story and to Alex Wyndham for performing it perfectly.

What other book might you compare Eternally Yours: Roxton Letters Volume One to, and why?

I have never read a book like this before, but as it is volume one, I will admit that I am thoroughly impatient already for the second volume.

Which character – as performed by Alex Wyndham – was your favourite?

I have to choose the character of Antonia as my favourite purely because Alex's portrayal of her with her feminine voice, and her French accent is just so good. It's hard to believe that a man with a most masculine, deep speaking voice could so believably speak as a woman.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

You couldn't really make a film of this book because it's just about letters and diary entries between characters from the Roxton Family Saga series. It could easily be a few scenes in a film if the Saga itself became a series though.

Any additional comments?

As I always say when I review an audio book written by Lucinda Brant, and narrated by Alex Wyndham, they make the perfect team. It's a real pleasure to both read and listen to the stories and I hope the partnership continues for a long time.

Beautifu

Marvellous letters that bring back memories of the wonderful books. Alex Wyndham's performance is superb.

Disappointing

A disappointment. There was very little in content that was new. The whole thing seemed a mish mash and was quite confusing. It might work as a companion to the books concerned as a written copy to be dipped into at the time of reading but for me it didn't work at all in audio. Such shame.
