Narrated by Caroline Hewitt, The Porcelain Menagerie brings to life a hauntingly beautiful tale of art, ambition, and survival in the opulent yet perilous world of 18th-century Dresden.

In a court ruled by the dangerous whims of King Augustus the Strong, two lives—separated by decades—are drawn into the grip of a monarch obsessed with beauty, power, and porcelain.

Young sculptor Johann Kändler has one chance to rise above his modest origins: create a lifelike porcelain menagerie for the king’s growing collection. But meeting the king’s impossible standards comes at a cost. As Johann navigates the court’s shifting alliances, he finds unlikely support in a former royal mistress, Maria, and her daughter, Katharina. His talent could secure his future—or destroy it.

Years earlier, Fatima, a Turkish handmaiden, is chosen to replace a discarded mistress in the king’s inner circle. Forced into a glittering but dangerous world, she must create her own menagerie of exotic animals and learn how to survive among courtiers who see her as nothing more than an ornament. Fatima’s journey is one of resilience, identity, and the quiet strength it takes to reclaim her own story.

With Caroline Hewitt’s rich and immersive narration, The Porcelain Menagerie weaves together two timelines linked by a king’s obsession and the fragile threads of ambition, art, and human dignity.
