Cinnamon and Angelica by John Middleton Murry audiobook.
Genre: drama
First published in 1920, John Middleton Murry's Cinnamon and Angelica is a four-act verse play that turns romance into a glittering fable of rival houses and restless desire. In a world where even the names taste of spice, Cinnamon, Prince of the Peppercorns, finds his imagination and his fate pulled toward Angelica, Princess of the Cloves - a meeting that threatens to ignite more than private longing. Around them gather vivid attendants and officers: Vanilla Bean keeps watch over Cinnamon's household, Caraway guards Angelica's confidence, and the martial voices of Mace and Marjoram speak for the duties of rank, loyalty, and war. As the forces of the Peppercorns and the Cloves press against each other, the lovers are asked to choose what kind of people they will be, and what kind of future their realms can survive. Lyrical, symbolic, and deliberately heightened, the play explores love as a transforming power set against pride, tradition, and the claims of public life - asking whether a single voice can change the course of a conflict that has begun to feel inevitable.
