Natalie Simpson navigates the private lives and public facades of Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz and King George III of Great Britain in this "Bridgerton" series courtship account. Simpson uses theatrical skill to portray Charlotte as a young girl and a poised monarch and to portray George as a complex character with scientific interests. The triumph of this audiobook is Simpson's authority. Whether she's following the royal couple or the subplot of Lady Agatha Danbury's London origin story, she's as much in command as her characters strive to be. German and French words are expertly embedded in the dialogue. The charming juxtaposition of stiff court manners and quiet moments of joy and despair makes this a must-listen experience. C.A.
