This edition is approximately 3 hours long on two cassettes.

Rutherfurd's novels are indeed "gorgeous tapestries", but listening to an abridged reading of one is like viewing the backside of the needlework from two rooms away. If you want a short version of the story, this is well done by a good reader; if you want to wallow in a sweeping historical novel, you'd do better to read the whole book yourself.
