Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of The Queen of the Night by Alexander Chee, read by Rachel Bavidge.

Paris, 1882.

Lilliet Berne is a sensation, a legendary soprano with every accolade except an original role. When one is finally offered to her, she realises with alarm that the story is based on a hidden piece of her past.

Only four could have betrayed her.

A blazing tale of lust, ambition and revenge set in the glitzy, gritty world of Second Empire France, The Queen of the Night follows Lilliet as she transforms herself from circus rider to courtesan to empress's maid to stage ingénue, all the while weaving a web of passion and intrigue.

One doesn't so much read The Queen of the Night as one is bewitched by it

Hanya Yanagihara, author of the Man Booker shortlisted 'A Little Life'
