Ronald West has a brilliant idea for his next novel, but to do it right, he wants to spend the next six months tramping around central Africa to experience the setting first hand. His wife Helen fully supports his trip, but for the first time in their marriage, she refuses to go along herself. Ronnie is disappointed at her reticence, but plows ahead, planning to be back in England by Christmas. But when Ronnie returns, something is seriously the matter which threatens to make his reunion with Helen, and their Christmas together, anything but merry. (Introduction by MaryAnn) (4 hr 14 min)

A Strange Little Tale

This story is very well read. I enjoyed it and it was a convenient length for listening to while attending to a day's worth of chores. As for the story, it has a weird, and intriguing section two thirds of the way through the book. I won't say what it is, but although it doesn't feel like it fits the plot, it did make the plot way more interesting.
Doesn't hold up to Barclay's other books, in my opinion.

The reader has a clear voice, although with no extra expression. An interesting book but with that weird plot twist.
