Policy and Passion by Rosa Campbell Praed ~ Full Audiobook [drama]

Policy and Passion by Rosa Campbell Praed audiobook.

Genre: drama

Set in the rough-edged boomtowns and parliamentary backrooms of colonial Queensland, Policy and Passion follows the Longleat family as private desire collides with public ambition. Thomas Longleat, a self-made political leader on the rise, is determined to shape the young colony's future and to secure a place among its powerful men. But the closer he comes to office, the more vulnerable he becomes to scandal, rivals, and the pull of a dangerous attachment that could undo everything he has built.At home, his daughter Honoria chafes against a society she finds narrow and material, dreaming instead of the culture and glamour she associates with England. When an English gentleman, Barrington, turns his charm on her, Honoria is drawn into a romance charged with fascination and control, even as steadier affections and colonial loyalties press their claim.Moving between hotel verandahs, drawing rooms, and the legislative arena, Rosa Campbell Praed blends political maneuvering with intimate emotional stakes, exposing how class, gender expectations, and the colony's uneasy relationship to Britain shape what love and power can cost. The result is a vivid saga of a community, and a family, tested by policy and passion.
