I really like these as audiobooks. The narrator does good voices for individual characters. I liked the opera setting and characters, and I like seeing Daisy's relationships with recurring characters evolving. I'm deducting marks for the way some of the characters were handled. There's some 1920's vintage prejudice towards Jews that didn't altogether serve the plot and characters- could have gone a different direction with that, even in a historical novel that's trying to evoke the 1920's.
