Intersting, at the Harvest-Festival feast Eliza describes the Roast-Goose as ‘unctuous’; I’ve never heard the word used as applied to food, so looked it up: ‘smooth and greasy’ IS an apt-description for Goose, but it still feels odd to Me.😂😄 (One of the pleasures of books; new uses for familiar words!)
@@shelleymcafee8197 Hey, this has nothing to do with the book but, rather an original hunting birds and preparation. It’s the word “Turducken”, there are different spelling of the word but, it is Turkey stuffed with duck (extremely greasy/fatty, and chicken. The original way to cook this was stuffing a huge turkey that was hunted as the duck was also and then chicken. Nowadays you can cheat and go to Rouses Market and get it deboned and mixed together. A little taste of heaven, sorry Vegans, but that’s how our (American) ancestors survived and thrived. Hunting was supper.
She's the ONLY upper class woman who was a suffragette? Try looking up Lady Constance Bulwer-Lytton who was not only a real person, often imprisoned but was just one of MANY in the upper classes to support the movement. I've really, really wanted to love these books as they are set in my favorite time in history but darn Eliza takes things so far she'd likely have been committed to an asylum.
Considering the times and Eliza’s social-class, I always find Myself wondering what clothing she runs in. …I’m betting She wears pants of some-kind, and no corset.😂😄
Thank you so much. Am American tractor was so much better than English. American engineering so much better! Americans sat there waiting for their German friends to rule.
Thanks so much for all of your wonderful audiobooks.
Very good book
Yeaaah, another one from this great series - wonderfully Read/Performed; Thank-You so much!

Awesome book and narrator, but I had difficulty blending into the time period. What year?
With references to the suffragettes, guessing early 1900s
@@monicalifornia_ I’m also thinking that it’s prior WWI and just after the massacre in India.
The first book was just after WW1.....mid 1920s I believe Eliza said.
