According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655, before she exploded), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner. So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan.

Set during the tumultuous years of the Napoleonic Wars, The Passion intertwines the destinies of two remarkable people: Henri, a simple French soldier, who follows Napoleon from glory to Russian ruin; and Villanelle, the red-haired, web-footed daughter of a Venetian boatman, whose husband has gambled away her heart. In Venice’s compound of carnival, chance, and darkness, the pair meets their singular destiny.

What made the experience of listening to Waiting for the Boatman (Afternoon Drama) the most enjoyable?
It's a short piece masterfully written and gorgeously performed. Like all great short pieces, it manages to deliver a tremendous amount with powerful brevity.What other book might you compare Waiting for the Boatman (Afternoon Drama) to and why?
The pathos of this piece remind me of Jeanette Winterson's The Passion. Although the form of the prose, as intended for an "afternoon drama", is quite unlike anything else I've listened to.What about David Tennant’s performance did you like?
He's absolutely stunning. His voice conveys incredible depth and a wide range of emotions: longing, pain, recognition, obsession, surprise, regret, resignation... I hung on to every word. How delightful to see him shine in a serious drama/literary piece.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I listened to it twice in two days. Each time a somewhat different facet is revealed. The poignancy of the prose and the mastery of the actor(s) make this piece unforgetable.Any additional comments?
Timeless theme of love and passion. Magnificently written and breathtakingly performed.A Gem

What disappointed you about Waiting for the Boatman (Afternoon Drama)?
The story was a bit boring. The narration was fine, I just found it a tad dry, and ultimately not all that interesting.Has Waiting for the Boatman (Afternoon Drama) turned you off from other books in this genre?
No. This genre is always a gamble. Some writers are great at it, others not so much.What does David Tennant bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
David Tennant is always a good narrator, so I have no complaints there. I think I would have made it through the book a lot faster on my own, but then again, I may not have finished it in that case. I finished it in audiobook format because I listen to audiobooks while I draw, so I just sorta let them play.Meh
