Susanna, the Captain & the Castrato

This audiobook explores the life of Susanna Burney, a charming and spirited member of a notable English family in the late 18th century, through her personal letter-journals. It highlights her role as a central figure in her father’s musical salon during Gasparo Pacchierotti’s visit to London and offers a glimpse into a tumultuous year marked by significant historical events. Drawing from previously unpublished journals, historian Linda Kelly brings to life Susanna’s story with vivid immediacy and insight.
