Another wonderful tale
Another wonderful tale from Trollope. At about half the price of the Timothy West reading I found Simon Vance more than adequate as narrator.

A Story of Conscience
Septimus Harding, the Warden of this story is a kindly, mild and some would say weak man, definitely a follower. That is until his his position as Warden and the remuneration he receives for this role is questioned and he is alleged to be in receipt of misappropriated charitable monies and therefore by association a dishonest man. The Warden is deeply shaken by the scandal and faces a moral dilemma which causes him to struggle with his own conscience and forces him to act. A great read, humane, quiet and as relevant today as when it was written in the 1860's. Highly recommended.

1950's Trollope
Oh dear. Why does Simon Vance feel impelled to make all the characters sound as though they have stepped from a 1950's British film? Eleanor is made particularly unattractive, with priggish clipped vowels at their worst. A pity, because it is a good book and he's not a bad reader in many ways.
