Publisher Description
New England, 1898: The Prescott Family is Boston. In that bygone golden age, Patriarch Charles presides over both his shipping line and family with a sure and strong hand, while wife Jocelyn is feeling her authority usurped by her powerfully minded mother-in-law, Augusta. Their children, Marietta, Aurora, and Barton find themselves trying to make their way in a constantly changing world - filled with social upheaval and technological advancements. The Prescotts' house staff goes about their duties under the supervision of the taciturn butler, Williams. Effortlessly integrating historical events into its narrative (including the second running of the American Marathon - later renamed the Boston Marathon), and filled with intrigue, warmth, and drama writ large, the Colonial Radio Theatre invites you into the Prescott household for an evocative, unforgettable depiction of Boston life as lived by those who set the pace. Williams has set an extra place for you at the table - won't you join us on Beacon Hill?
Customer Reviews
CRT does it again
I wasn't sure how I'd like a story about high society. But CRT has done it again. The banter between mother and father, the mother in law is a character, the help are very enjoyable. Over all, I'm thoroughly pleased. I highly recommend this whole series.
Very disappointed
We have listened to other things by the Colonial players that was very well done and interesting!! My husband and I decided to try this series and see how it was… the first one was okay, going into the second one there was a part that made us very uncomfortable, realizing it goes on into the 3rd series talking about homosexuality and some bad language was in all of them.
I don’t think it’s appropriate at all to have this into an audiobook that’s supposed to be about a “family”. We would not listen to it again, and it’s something I definitely would not have my children listen to!! This shouldn’t be considered “normal”
