"How Do I Love Thee makes a romantic gift for the special someone in your life." -- AudioFile, February 1998
"It is a true pleasure, with Elizabeth's poetry (including the complete "Sonnets from the Portuguese") read by British actress Joanna David and Robert's work (including "Home Thoughts") read by actor Steven Pacey. It would not be complete without "How Do I Love Thee?" Narration of the biography is by actor Sean Barrett. All performances are outstanding." -- The Philadelphia Inquirer, November 1997
A Publishers Weekly award winner for Best Spoken Audio of 1997. -- Publishers Weekly

A Fantastic True Love Story,
By Adam Bradford (Stockbridge, MI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Robert & Elizabeth Barrett (Au (Audio Cassette)
"How Do I Love Thee?" was a romantic true love story. In the book, Robert Browning gave Elizabeth "Ba" Barret the courage to love and live life. Ba was an invalid who lived with a widowed, controlling father of seven children. Although, Ba was his pride and joy, he kept her captive through her illness. Ba's poetry caused Robert Browning to fall in love with her and wish to meet her. The two poets' friendship blossomed through their letters; after they met face to face it soon became love. Soon Ba's father was the only thing standing in the way of their true happiness.The book begins with a curious statement which holds your attention through the first few chapters. "How Do I Love Thee?" becomes very interesting after Ba and Robert finally meet face to face. The author's incorporation of the love poems of Elizabeth Barret Browning and Robert Browning was terrific addition to the story. The end was disappointing, but the book as a whole was a fantastic true love story of two amazing poets.
