Product Description:
1872 novel from the famous English novelist, short story writer, and poet of the naturalist movement, who was awarded the Order of Merit in 1910.
Review:
This early Hardy novel tells the story of a pastoral romance in the small Wessex village of Mellstock. Jamie Parker's friendly, resonant tone adds warmth to a surprisingly cheerful work by an author known for his dour stories. Parker's use of vocal variation in delivering Hardy's descriptive prose guides listeners smoothly through the plot. He also demonstrates mastery in his renderings of local country dialects. The conversations between the choir members, who include an interesting range of ages and characterisations, are especially well performed, and his singing of various songs also enlivens the text. Overall, Parker's charming performance adds much personality to this Hardy classic. --- D.M.W., AudioFile
