Subject: Truly excellent, a treat for the mind and ears!
Though a Hardyophile from way back, I was unfamiliar with this title and delighted to get to know the story and characters, several of whom are complex and memorable even by Thomas Hardy standards. Can't say enough good things about reader Tadhg Hynes-- his voice is wonderfully natural and easy on the ears, the interpretation is intelligent, lucid and artistic, and the voices and dialects are just flat-out brilliant work. Even during extended dialog passages, he manages to be so consistent in the voice of each character that you always know exactly who is speaking. I am very much looking forward to his solo "Woodlanders" (in progress.) An enthusiastic recommendation with much appreciation!
