For people who love the spoken voice, radio plays and audio books, it is the quality and depth of training and perhaps lived experience, that is conveyed so deeply and intimately that we enjoy as a listener. I wonder if she had an underlying depression or melochlolia as she read this book ? Having adjusted to Jilly Bond’s narrations, I was eagerly a waiting this new release and to hear this beloved and multi layered story, but I am struggling, and actually beginning to feel quite depressed as I listen to this young woman’s voice. this narration of Coming Home by Helen Johns is like nails on a chaulk board, sadly there is an actual under lying whinning to this poor women’s voice.I have looked at her acting reel on line - and she has far more depth of being and aliveness. While I was eventually able to adjust to Jilly Bond reading Winter Solstice, and a few more of these newly released recordings. I listened to these stories once a year and was transported completely to the two places of my childhood Scotland and Cornwall. Full of Life, Deeply Heartfelt, Nuanced with an exquisite well trained and beautiful voice. The 1995 recording of Home Coming and the 2000 recording of Winter Solstice, were brillantly narrated by Lynn Redgrave. If you could sum up Coming Home in three words, what would they be?Ĭoming Home and Winter Solstice are two beloved stories by Rosamund Pilcher.
