Slowly, slowly I am getting used to the audio books. Some are more suitable than others to be listened too. I find it difficult though to blog about audio books. While writing I often go back to look at passages in the books, and that is not possible here. Anyway, I am getting there. Wedlock: How Georgian Britain's Worst Husband Met His Match by Wendy Moore (excellently narrated by Rachel Atkins) was quite a long audio book. I have listened to it over several months. You might think that this is a fiction book while reading it. Big mistake and it just shows that real life often is more dramatic and terrible than anything you can make up. Mary Eleanor Bowes was the only child of rich parents. She got a good education for a woman at the time. She married, accordingly, the Earl of Strathmore, with whom she had five children. Eleven years later the Earl died of tuberculosis. So far so good.
