Book description
A wonderful surprise gift from Alan Bennett - a brand new story, set in a home for the elderly; a glorious, darkly comic treat.We have a choir and on special occasions a glass of dry sherry. It's less of a home and more of a club and very much a community.Presided over by the lofty Mrs McBryde, Hill Topp House is a superior council home for the elderly. Among the unforgettable cast of staff and residents there's Mr Peckover the deluded archaeologist, Phyllis the knitter, Mr Cresswell the ex-cruise ship hairdresser, the enterprising Mrs Foss and Mr Jimson the chiropodist. Covid is the cause of fatalities and the source of darkly comic confusion, but it's also the key to liberation. As staff are hospitalised, protocol breaks down. Miss Rathbone reveals a lifelong secret, and the surviving residents seize their moment, arthritis allowing, to scamper freely in the warmth of the summer sun.'Violet? She'll be having a little lie-down,' said Mrs McBryde. 'She likes to give her pacemaker a rest. I'll rout her out.'

Listening to books in their original language has improved my foreign language skills. Changing the tone of the sound on ListenBook is a fun feature that adds a unique touch to my audiobook experience. I love the auto-rewind feature. It’s great for when I zone out. This audiobook performed its function without excelling. The narrator's delivery was straightforward and easy to follow, though lacking in dramatic flair. The recording quality was decent with only occasional minor inconsistencies in volume. An acceptable but forgettable listening experience.
