Summary
As a lovely heiress, Roderica Delamore should be a prize catch--except for her shameful secret. She has the ability to hear the thoughts of those around her. Even her family and close friends can't hide from her strange gift. Knowing that she can never marry, for no man could bear it, Roddy still longs hopelessly for a family of her own. Until she meets the man she's been waiting for--the Earl of Iveragh, a mysterious Irish aristocrat whose thoughts are entirely closed to her.
The impoverished Devil Earl is damned in society by dark rumor and innuendo, and, for all she knows, he could be a liar, a rogue, or much, much worse. But Roddy must dance with him at midnight on All Hallows Eve, and entrust her life--and her heart--to a riveting stranger, called by his torment into the faerie mists to discover what she most fears about herself and her own magic.

Magical
Magical, beautiful, sad, a surprising pull between fairy land and this plane, beautifully written and brilliantly told (as usual)

Another wonderful combination!
Perfect writing and the best ever narration. This is my tenth LK and NB AUDIBLE with only two to go; I will have to go back to the beginning and start again.

Magic indeed
Kinsale/Boulton magic once again. A fey tale, marvellous prose and another masterful narration. Kinsale is always fresh and original.

Enthralling
Magic, mystery, political history all woven together around a love story. Satisfying ending - both happy and bittersweet.

Lovely story
I really enjoyed the characters in this story. Now it's finished I feel at a loss. The narrator was really good.

More Magic from Kinsale and Boulton
Would you consider the audio edition of Uncertain Magic to be better than the print version?
I haven't read the book, but I think anything read by Nicholas Boulton is guaranteed to be better than in print!
What does Nicholas Boulton bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
His performance is incredible. There are a large number of secondary characters in the story, all of whom are skilfully delineated, and when it comes to the central characters, he really gets into their heads and under their skins; he understands them and conveys that understanding to the listener brilliantly. It's not that I dislike making my own character judgements and opinions when I read a book, but having such an accomplished actor narrating the story brings the characters so vibrantly to life that it's a truly wonderful listening experience.
Any additional comments?
Incredibly, this was Laura Kinsale's début novel. The writing is rich and layered, and her incorporation of supernatural elements was unusual for the time (1987) - but she has once again created a couple of compelling protagonists (if you like tortured heroes, you'll LOVE Iveragh!) and a wonderfully complex story.

Strong start, very weak finish
Would you try another book written by Laura Kinsale or narrated by Nicholas Boulton?
Yes because I have heard fantastic books by Laura Kinsale, but this was not one of them. I especially liked her female James Bond story. (The loving daylights).
What will your next listen be?
I did a lot of easy listen lately, but might go for a popular science book next for a change.
Would you be willing to try another one of Nicholas Boulton’s performances?
Would not be a search criteria like Rosalyn Landor was.
You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Strong start and not the usual story, but I finished it yesterday and already forgot the name of the heroine. The pig was most lovely and I shall remember it.
