À propos de cet audio

Nicholas Duncan is a semi-retired shipping magnate who resides in idyllic Beautiful Bay in Indonesia. Grieving the loss of his wife, Anna, he is suffering for the first time from disturbing flashbacks to WWII, the scene of their first meeting. His other wartime lover is the striking Marg Hamilton, a powerful Australian political player still close to Nick.

Encouraged by a Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Specialist, Nick sets about writing his life, drawing us into the compelling tale of the life he has lived since his war-hero days, building a shipping empire, and loving the women who inspire him.

Astounding performance by Humphrey Bower

I am astounded by this book's close relationship with actual historical events. Bryce Courtenay winds his characters cleverly into factual accounts and makes our understanding clearer through the differing points of view of Anna and Marg. But although I have read these books previously, listening to the performance of Humphrey Bower made the characters and events more memorable, particularly when the characters had Japanese names. He is able to cleverly give each their own voice, no matter the nationality, or even mood of the character. For example, Anna's voice and accent changed when she was upset, and evolved as she became more accomplished in English. The story spans several decades, and even though the protagonist, Nick, is a less likeable character, in my view, there was a lot to be learned and understood through his point of view. An epic!
