Gabrielle de Cuir’s luminous narration transports listeners into the turbulent life of acclaimed nineteenth-century French actress Sarah Bernhardt. AudioFile’s Robin Whitten tells host Jo Reed what she loved about the absorbing historical fiction audiobook, including the colorful and unique characters, descriptions of Paris and events, and lavish Golden Age opulence. De Cuir’s accents are impeccable as she portrays the romance, complex family dynamics, and the many people who influenced Bernhardt’s life. Published by Random House Audio.
