HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY

Hats off to one of the most enjoyable audiobooks in years! The 60-year-old Welsh author recalls his childhood amid the lush, green hills where his coal-mining family struggled with companies and unions in the shadow of the advancing slag heap. Tull's reading is a rich, unforgettable performance, flavored with character and extravagant care. We hear his many voices as much as Llewellyn's: his pauses, his rhythms, his sheer delight and his sorrows. If Oscars could be awarded for audio performances (and why shouldn't they?), his flawless reading deserves one. P.E.F.
