It is always a pleasure to read R. F. Delderfield, because he never seems to be ashamed of writing well (Books and Bookmen)
Members Reviews:
Brilliant story read with skill
If you could sum up Long Summer Day in three words, what would they be?
Rivetting narrative Absorbing entertaining
What was one of the most memorable moments of Long Summer Day?
Eleanor's Codsell,s cart ride
Ikey.s taming of the horse in the ironmongers
Rescue of the German seamen
What about Jonathan Olivers performance did you like?
Par excellent His interpretation of the Devon brogue with all it's characters was believable
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Not really - the duration enhanced the expectation
Any additional comments?
Delighted me from go to woe
Delderfield a magical story teller
Where does Long Summer Day rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?
First class
Who was your favorite character and why?
I am biased as this the third time on this book. I have read all Delderfield's books and have been eagerly awaiting them to come to Audible.
What about Jonathan Olivers performance did you like?
Professionally read adds enjoyment to a great story
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
A bit long for that but never less hard to put down.
Any additional comments?
I only hope there will be more Delderfield in the pipeline.
A lyrical English family saga but badly narrated.
A very long, but moderately entertaining, lyrical family saga of turn of the century England. RL Delderfield writes with passionate feeling for the English countryside but unfortunately Jonathan Oliver's performance, with long pauses between sentences is off-putting.
Slow Start
John Oliver's narration was initially off putting, with long pauses between sentences. It improved later. Love the story.
Another excellent book by Delderfield.
The narrator helped you feel the moods and feelings of all the people so you lived everything along with them and understood their motives and their acceptance of failure.
