About this listen
When Paul Van Zale, a handsome patrician and powerful Wall Street banker, meets Dinah in London, he commits the imprudence of falling in love with her.
When Dinah follows him to his world, she is caught up in the complex currents of Paul's life. Among the new acquaintances she makes is Paul's wife, with whom, much to Dinah's shock and dismay, Paul manages an almost perfect marriage. Their lives are intertwined with such mastery that listeners will be captivated with The Rich Are Different from the very first word to the astonishing climax.

Critic reviews
"Nadia May captures the essence of the six first-person narratives [in] the story, to the point of making recognizable each character's voice as related by the others." ( AudioFile)

Great
One of my favourite books. Absorbing storyline- I hope the sequel is available on Audible. Unlike other listeners, I didn’t find the narrator annoying.

Excellent
I read this years ago. Susan Howatch is a brilliant writer, creating characters that become real and breathe their lives from the page. Penmarric should also be recorded and is an enthralling read. The Rich are Different is skilfully written to encompass a period I knew little about and I would probably have remained in Ignorance of, i.e. the Great Depression and the seismic events of the Wall Street crash. But as usual it’s the characters that draw you in and the different perspectives of each character as the story unfolds. Superb writing.

The rich are different
A good story but I would have preferred it read by a man as that is the character it started with

Another Susan Howatch triumph!
Once again the author transported me. What a story teller. Her ability to weave so many characters' together into one cohesive story and from all their perspectives.

Rich are different
Thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook. I read the book many years ago and was thrilled to see it available on audiobook- just hoping they will record the sequel -Sins of the Fathers and my all time favourite - The Wheel of Fortune
