Ghost Wedding

By: David Park

Narrated by: Phil Clark

A beautiful story following two troubled men, separated by nearly a century, bound by the ghosts of their past
When George Allenby is put in charge of building a lake in the grounds of an imposing Irish manor house, he intends to do the job as swiftly as possible and return to Belfast. Allenby is still wrestling with his time as an officer during the First World War, burdened by the many things he could have done differently.
Almost a century later, Alex and Ellie are preparing for their wedding, sparing no expense to hire a venue overlooking the very lake Allenby built all those years ago.
Like Allenby before him, Alex is haunted by decisions he made in the past. Now, with the wedding drawing ever closer, he is at a crossroads. Telling the truth might free him from his guilt; it might also take away everything he cares about, including Ellie.
In this masterful portrait of love and betrayal, David Park reveals the many ways the past seeps into the present: destructive, formidable, but also hopeful, in the moments of fragile beauty that remain.

The awful reader. SO bad!

I loved the two stories but hoped they would both end well. Such a sad book.

Narration was challenging.

I loved the story but couldn’t follow the narrator. Seemed to be reading directly from a script with no emotion or sentence breaks. Purchased the paperback version to read the story. Highly recommend the author and book, but not this audio version.
