Thanks Megan for starting this up.


I just finished Hachette Audio UK's 84 Charing Cross Road, which I loved. A long time ago I saw the film, and only after listening to this program did I notice that the writer's name was the same as the main character's: that is, the work is non-fiction. (I'd assumed that it was fiction.)

The two readers are tremendous. We should consider Juliette Stevenson for anything with an English narrator. She is so adapt at the different English and Irish accents, though an odd choice to play Helene Hanff (the American author).

A nice extra element of the production is an interview of both narrators by the producer. If anyone wants to borrow my copy, feel free.

This one sounds very interesting, and I love Juliette Stevenson! I might just have to borrow it after I finish mine!
