well read and written

A really fascinating immersion into 1500s-1600s life. Makes you very grateful for our lives today with all our modern facilities. Narrator was brilliant - lovely pace, and brought out the humour of the words. I did skip over some of the details of punishment to both animals and humans (what a brutal people at times!). But in general a very interesting, immersive listen.

A fascinating and detailed look at what life was like during this period in history from the elites to the commoners. If anything this book makes you thankful for all the modern engineering, conveniences and medical science we have today...hygiene and toilets LOL! The narration was great, and the overall pace between chapters was well done, highly recommended.

A wonderful book written from an interesting perspective. Anyone who is interested of how life was in the past will enjoy reading/listening it. It would also be a good read for anyone how romanticizes the past, for it teaches us not only how much things have changed but also how much things are the same. The narrator was a delight.

Interesting aproach.
