Patience Tomlinson’s sensitive and assured reading of Wives and Daughters is a key contribution to this year’s Mrs Gaskell anniversary celebrations. The novel focuses on the emotional upheavals experienced by Molly Gibson as she leaves the sheltered cocoon of childhood and faces up to the complexities of the adult world. Gaskell’s ear for the chatter of village life results in a novel packed full of humour and pertinent observations, which is all the more enjoyable when brought to life through the spoken word. It is available in both unabridged and abridged formats.
And we mark Leo Tolstoy’s centenary with a new, unabridged recording of Anna Karenina. It is read by Kate Lock who gives this magnificent Russian classic a modern character. At the heart of this expansive web of interrelated stories is the tragic fate of the bewitching Anna Karenina – one of the most memorable heroines in all of literature.
Veteran audiobook reader David Horovitch reads Joseph Conrad’s penetrating exposé of imperialism, Heart of Darkness.
And from the depths of the jungle we move to the safe sanctuary of the garden! The writer Christina Hardyment, who is particularly known for her work on domestic history, presents The Pleasures of the Garden, a hugely enjoyable collection of anecdotes from great writers meditating on the joys of watching a garden bloom.
Finally, we add to our Junior Classics list with two new educational guides to fascinating themes. Popular audiobook reader Benjamin Soames returns to narrate Great Rulers of Ancient Rome, and new Naxos reader Adrian Grove reads Religions of the World. Our digital pre-release this month is Charles Dickens’ Martin Chuzzlewit.
