Jaffery


Read by Simon Evers

(4.8 stars; 62 reviews)

The book follows the lives of Hilary, the narrator, and three of his friends whom he met at Cambridge. One soon dies - another (Adrian) writes a hugely successful novel and marries Doria. Jaffery is a larger than life character who falls in love with Doria at first sight. Also in the story are Liosha, a fiery Albanian widow rescued from a life of servitude partly by Jaffery’s intervention, and Barbara, the steadfast wife of Hilary.
Their lives change and the story develops as Adrian struggles to write his second novel. (Summary by Simon Evers) (10 hr 15 min)

Reviews

A Very Good Story


(5 stars)

The way one is tossed immediately into the story is refreshing. Simon Evers provides exquisite narration. Good story that everyone can enjoy.

Powerful Story


(5 stars)

Simon Evers narration and WJ Locke’s very clever writing provides something of a complex story of deep moral conflict which is thoroughly believable throughout. The plot twists are quite unexpected but entirely legitimate in retrospect, almost like a great detective novel. But Locke’s careful portrayal of his characters makes it much more than that. The choice of first person narrative is a unique addition to this wonderful book.
