Alan Bennett: Stories: Read by Alan Bennett
Audiobook Review
This collection is brilliantly narrated by the author, whose familiar, gentle voice carefully reveals some of life's absurdities in a touching, comic way. He captures the full spectrum of life, from an elderly lady grappling with mental health struggles who imposes upon the writer in her twilight years, to a couple who lose everything only to have their lives inexplicably restored, to a son discovering the truths of existence as he waits for his father to pass away. There’s a reflection on music, a celebration of life where the attendees are fixated on finding out the cause of death, and a family teeming with secrets, lies, and corrupt policemen.
Simply marvellous—heartfelt, humorous, and with a twist in every tale.
