I browsed, I saw, I bought!

I was so pleased to see Browns masterpiece on Audible. A thorough history of Eoorup and the Krishtns! Yes, that's how the reader pronounces those words. Peter Brown's speech is as poetic as his writings. A flowing English bard is Peter Brown. So you'd think an English voice would be a good idea. instead an American , and a heavy accent at that is reading this. I am still happy with the purchase. Every chapter is listed so you can brows the chapter easy.

Mind-expanding book

This breath-taking book demolishes much educated ignorance about ancient and medieval history and the spread of Christianity, and I would hope that it has become a standard work in the field. The narrator reads fluently and well, but, oh, some of his mispronunciations. Aachen. Vosges. Braudel. Ancien régime. Luxeuil. Chef d'oeuvre. Thessaloniki. What he does this with these will shock you.
