The wild places
Revisado: 05-05-23
This is such a poetic and imaginative description of the wild places of Great Britain and Ireland . You can picture in your minds eye everything about which Robert Macfarlane writes . Beautiful prose encouraging us all to escape to the remotest spots and repose.

Historia
Filth ( Failed in London, Try Hong Kong) is a successful lawyer when he marries Elisabeth in Hong Kong soon after the War. Reserved, immaculate, and courteous, Filth finds it hard to demonstrate his emotions.
But Elisabeth is different - a free spirit. She was brought up in the Japanese Internment Camps, which killed both her parents but left her with a lust for survival and an affinity with the Far East. No wonder she is attracted to Filth's hated rival at the Bar - the brash, forceful Veneering.

Having previously swooned on reading the trilogy of books I succumbed again to the magnificent reading by Bill Wallace. What a range of voicing and subtle shading of emphasis. I’d say reading/hearing the entire trilogy in order is a must.

Mary Barton by Elizabeth Gaskell
Revisado: 02-23-23
This is a touching and thought provoking story of poverty and hardship set against the backdrop of mud 19th century Manchester factory workers . It follows the life of young Mary Barton and her neighbours, friends and family and the final redemption of those lives.
Thoroughly captivating.

Historia
Long ago, Old Filth was a Raj orphan - one of the many young children sent 'home' from the East to be fostered and educated in England. Jane Gardam's novel tells his story, from his birth in what was then Malaya to the extremities of his old age. In so doing, she not only encapsulates a whole period from the glory days of British Empire, through the Second World War, to the present and beyond, but also illuminates the complexities of the character known variously as Eddie, the Judge, Fevvers, Filth, Master of the Inner Temple, Teddy and Sir Edward Feathers.

I absolutely loved listening to this story as it meandered its way backwards and forwards from past to present. Wonderful characterisation by Bill Wallace .
