Summary
Charles Arrowby, leading light of England's theatrical set, retires from glittering London to an isolated home by the sea. He plans to write a memoir about his great love affair with Clement Makin, his mentor, both professionally and personally, and amuse himself with Lizzie, an actress he has strung along for many years. None of his plans work out, and his memoir evolves into a riveting chronicle of the strange events and unexpected visitors-some real, some spectral-that disrupt his world and shake his oversized ego to its very core.

This is a long listen but I found it worth it. It is extremely well-written, the attention to words and phrasing is a joy. On the other hand, again, it is long. If you know a bit about Buddhism and Platonism, then the whole story gells at the end, but if not.... The narrator was great on this book. I think that a mistake was made in that the audio you hear for a "trial listen" is a woman reading the quite long and involved Introduction to the book and you don't get to hear the actual narrator of the book until you have paid for it. However, the narrator of the book, a male, is excellent.
