Audio Book Summary

Beaumont and Fletcher's The Maid's Tragedy (first published 1619) is a sensational Jacobean sex tragedy. When gentleman soldier Melantius returns to Rhodes, he finds his dear friend Amintor is recently married - but not to his troth-plight love Aspatia (the maid of the title). Instead, the King has arranged a match between Amintor and Melantius' sister, the beautiful Evadne. On his wedding night, Amintor finds that his new wife has married him under false pretenses - and this unleashes a torrent of dire consequences, sexual, emotional, and ultimately political. (Summary by Elizabeth Klett)

    A soldier returning home from the war, discovers the King his father arranged a marriage between his sister and his best friend. The problem is his his best friend already promised himself to a different Lord's daughter. The audiobook which is a play is written very good. I couldn't stop listening until it finished.
