The Lady and the Unicorn Audiobook

" I have a collection of books given to me and this is one of them. It is pretty good. I seem to be interested in books about the earlier centuries.It was a really good book. But the ending left much to be desired. "

" This was a very good read! "

" This book was a little... bawdier?... than the other Tracy Chevalier books I've read, but it kept me very interested. I read it in about a day (whereas her other books, while I've enjoyed them, have taken me much longer to finish.) She told the story in first person from many different characters, and really did a nice job with it. "

" Fascinating story that pulls you into life in the 1400's. While focusing on male/female relationships it also tells the story of how m medieval tapestries were commissioned and created. "

" This is another travel back in time novel. I loved learning about the way tapestries are made and the social status of the time. There's is some sexy stuff, so beware! "

" This wasn't my favorite story, but it does make you look fancy and cultured when you can recognize this tapestry on TV and in restaurants. Just saying. "

" This is the same author as "The Girl with the Pearl Earring" and I really like this author! She created this story around some famous tapestries in Paris. Very entertaining, as was "The Girl..." - I've only seen the movie, which was excellent, and want to read the book! "

" This was the last book that I read by this author and it was just as good as the other two. I like how she puts a picture of the paintings in all of her books so that you know what specifically she is talking about. I can't get over how real the people seem by the end of the book. "

" I learned a ton about tapestry making, and there was a romance. But I've read better books. "

" For me, the book jumped in too quickly and left me trying to figure out people and places a little too much. I like historical fiction, and I typically like books about art and artists, but this wasn't my favorite! "

" Slightly disappointing read, lacked the quality that "Girl with a Pearl Earring" contained. Seven narrators? Keep it simple, please and concentrate more on the writing! However there was a lot of drama which managed to get me through to the end. "

" This book was fun. She creates such a good character. I loved the weaver's daughter. She had a great will to not only survive but to live. "

" Strangely sweet? There was something in the descriptions of artistry I liked here. The lady and unicorn are depicted through a tapestry. "

" This book was okay. Easy to read. "

" I really enjoyed this book. Another recommendation that I might have passed on. The author tells a wonderful story with similar writing to The Girl with the Pearl Earring "

" Interesting story telling, very deep symbology. It was enjoyable. "

" hmm..cuma suka dengan nama dan istilah2 dalam kehidupan para bangsawan Prancis :) "

" I couldn't even finish it! "

" I've loved everything I've read from Chevalier so far, and I guess my expectations are high for her. I did thoroughly enjoy this book and got through it in about 24 hours, but it wasn't in the same league of wonderful as Girl With A Pearl Earring. "

" Having seen and been beguiled by these tapestries in Paris I really enjoyed reading this fictionalised account of how and why they were woven. "

" I lived in Europe and visited the tapetries in France. I found this book very interesting. "

" What can I say, I'm a Tracy Chevalier fan. Plus I'm teaching the history of textiles next semester. So there you have it. "

" I reviewed this once this must the paperback as opposed to the hardcover. All in all, a great book, though I don't know if it belongs this the "Art" category. This is fiction. "

" Not as good as "Girl with a Pearl Earring," another of Chevalier's art history fictions -- this time telling the story of the famous Unicorn tapestries. Most of the major characters are fairly less likable than in "Pearl," but still has interesting details of life at the time. "

" Everything about Tracy Chevalier's books intrigues me. The setting, the characters, the theme (often art) and yet . . . Her writing is even improving. Still, I sigh when I fall for another. "

" Fascinating story that pulls you into life in the 1400's. While focusing on male/female relationships it also tells the story of how m medieval tapestries were commissioned and created. "

" Not as good as her other works, but still worth reading. "

" Reading this book wa like going back in time, getting into the head of people of another era, well written and an engrssing story "

" Very few likeable characters in this book but I do love the way she teaches about different periods in history by telling a story. "

" This satisfied my historical fiction craving. Although I think I may have liked Girl with a Pearl Earring better. This was a bit of a failed attempt at poignancy. But pretty good on the whole. "

" This is the same author as "The Girl with the Pearl Earring" and I really like this author! She created this story around some famous tapestries in Paris. Very entertaining, as was "The Girl..." - I've only seen the movie, which was excellent, and want to read the book! "

" Typical historical fiction. Interesting take on the mysterious tapestry's creation. Recommend to others who enjoy this genre. "

" Just delightful with scads of provoking, comical, and endearing characters. "

" A really fun book. Lots of interesting historical detail - I love the idea of writing a story based on a famous, mysterious tapestry. Great for historical fiction lovers like myself. "

" I'm a fan of the original tapestry, I saw it many times (I go to Paris every year, to Cluny museum every two or three). I enjoyed the story and the research behind it. "
