Sharply observant and wickedly funny, E.F. Benson's six Mapp and Lucia novels satirize the upper-middle-class social climbers in 1920s and '30s rural England. Games of bridge and cups of tea fuel hilarious gossip and vindictive plots a-plenty. It is a masterfully sustained spotlight on the minutiae of village life - a clever and ultimately heart-warming series that seems tailor-made for audio. Volume 1 contains the first three books.

Georgina Sutton could read anything and I’d enjoy listening, but paired with the genius of EF Benson, you have the perfect listening experience. Enjoy!

What could be a more tempting Christmas gift than a compendium of David Sedaris' best stories, selected by the author himself? From a spectacular career spanning almost three decades, these stories have become modern classics and are now for the first time collected in one volume. The collection will also feature an introduction by the author; two never-before-collected stories, 'Unbuttoned' and 'Undecided'; and a new interview with David Sedaris.

Highly enjoyable with an excellent bonus interview
Revisado: 08-27-24
This was a great ‘best of’ collection. I very much enjoyed that some of the stories were taken from live recordings with an audience.
As ever, I’m not as keen on the fiction stories, for me Sedaris’s main talent is for non-fiction.
A Great Listen! Recommended

A seventeenth century version of a Netflix binge
Revisado: 08-17-24
I’m so glad Georgina Sutton read this because I’d never have bothered myself and it’s a great story.
Sutton is such a consummate performer - I’d listen to her read just about anything (try her Mapp And Lucia series- perfect).
But the story is great too, despite the fact Defoe wrote this in a time when people had patience (and no Netflix). Yes, it does go on a bit, but it is a fascinating insight into what life was like back then. Recommended.

Such a joyous romp.
I love these close studies of human foibles so much and this narration brings them to life so well. I wish there were more!

Still in the formative years of his career, Hercule Poirot faces a most taxing case: who killed Lord Cronshaw? Was Coco Courtenay's death on the same night a mere coincidence? And did she deliberately take an overdose of cocaine?

Wonderful narration- particularly by David Suchet
Revisado: 05-16-24
These are terrific bite size Poirot stories, perfect for bedtime. Both narrators are good, but I did prefer the stories narrated by David Suchet, not only because he IS Poirot, but his narrative voice is so pleasing to listen to. Highly recommended

England between the wars was a paradise of utter calm and leisure for the very, very rich. But into this enclave is born Mrs. Emmeline Lucas - La Lucia, as she is known - a woman determined to lead a life quite different from the pomp and subdued nature of her class. With her cohort, Georgie Pillson, and her husband, Peppino, she upends the greats of high society.

Benson’s hilarious characters are read to perfection by Nadia May
Revisado: 05-06-24
Such brilliant writing deserves the best narration and Nadia May brings all Benson’s characters to life in the best way possible. I wish she’d read them all, but I think we only have the first two books on audible. Highly recommended anyway

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 9
From the master of dystopia, comes his heartrending story of a British boy’s four-year ordeal in a Japanese prison camp during the Second World War. Based on J. G. Ballard’s own childhood, this is the extraordinary account of a boy’s life in Japanese-occupied wartime Shanghai - a mesmerising, hypnotically compelling novel of war, of starvation and survival, of internment camps and death marches. It blends searing honesty with an almost hallucinatory vision of a world thrown utterly out of joint.

Ballard’s incredible story is read perfectly by Pacey
Revisado: 04-20-24
This is such a powerful, story. I read Ballard’s semi autobiographical novel years ago, but Pacey’s immaculate performance gave it a new lease of life for me. Highly recommended

I knew little about this story before listening to this podcast, but Rosamund Pike’s warm, human investigation illuminates this in a way that the media have previously failed to do. Highly recommended
