About this audiobook
The Daughter of the Commandant (better known as "The Captain's Daughter") is a historical novel by the Russian writer Alexander Pushkin, and is considered to be his finest prose work. The novel is a romanticized account of Pugachev's Rebellion in 1773-1774. The 17-year-old Pyotr Andreyich is sent by his father to military service in a remote Russian outpost, where he leans honor and love while being caught up in a violent uprising of tribal groups against the imperial government.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5my problem, but hard to follow who is who withe the Russian names.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The story was slow and unremarkable for the first 2/3 of the book. Also the reading was awkward and sounded like a Nickelodeon show; which I found quite annoying. I would rate the reading a 1, but the story was probably about a 4. Very hard to get through, would probably recommend just reading it yourself instead.
