About the Author:
Sir Dirk Bogarde was an English actor and novelist. Initially a matinee idol, Bogarde later acted in art-house films such as Death In Venice. As well as completing six novels, Bogarde wrote several volumes of autobiography. Between 1947 and 1991, Bogarde made more than sixty films. For over two decades he lived in Italy and France, where he began to write seriously. In 1985 he was awarded an honorary degree of Doctor of Letters by the University of St Andrews and in 1990 was promoted to Commandeur de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French government. Sir Dirk Bogarde has a legion of fans to this day - an extraordinary commitment to an extraordinary man.
From AudioFile:
Nanny Grayle's death brings the whole living lot of Grayles back to Hartleap, where they discover their past is not as placid as they had thought. Although the production is unabridged, Michael Kitchen manages to distort much of the story by racing through much dialogue and description, which he must deem merely expository or boring or unnecessary to the final outcome. He throws away so many sentences that he distances himself from the characters and the listener from the story line. When Kitchen does concentrate, his delivery is excellent, and the printed words come to life. J.P. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
