Book Review of The Black Tulip, with eBook (Tantor Unabridged Classics)

The Black Tulip, with eBook (Tantor Unabridged Classics)
BeckyWalker avatar reviewed on + 120 more book reviews


This was one of the more unusual audio books I've ever listened to. It wasn't until I finished it did I realize it was written in the 1850's. The language is formal and at first hard to follow, but eventually my ear got used to it and I liked it quite a bit. You can't help but cheer on the latter Cornelius and the jailer's daughter Rosa through their many ups and downs. I found this to be an enjoyable book and now will have to find out if a black tulip is a real thing or a figment of the author's imagination.
