LibriVox recording of Two on a Tower, by Thomas Hardy. Read by Tadhg.
The plot concerns two – literally starcrossed – lovers: Swithin St. Cleeve, a very young amateur astronomer, and Viviette Constantine, an unhappily married and abandoned woman 8 or 9 years his senior. Each night Swithin climbs the old tower of the title, in the grounds of the Constantine estate. Lady Constantine, whose husband has been absent some years on an extended hunting and exploring journey to Africa, joins the young man in his stargazing, and supports his astronomical ambitions by buying him equipment, though his dreams of scientific renown are disappointed. Their relationship then deepens and takes several twists and turns.(Summary by Tadhg)

Subject: Excellent reading of Hardy classic
Beautiful variation on Hardy's theme of the rural character who has aspirations beyond his/her station. Tadhg's smooth delivery and Irish accent are well suited to this story of love lost, gained, and ... well, it's Thomas Hardy so don't expect a happy-ever-after ending.
Well done indeed, Tadhg! More please.
