Ironopolis

By: Glen James Brown

Narrated by: Mark Elstob, Colleen Prendergast, David Seddon

Stranded on the outskirts of Ironopolis, nickname to a lost industrial Middlesbrough, the Burn Council Estate is about to be torn down to make way for regeneration. For the future....

But these streets know many stories, some hide secrets....

Jean holds the key to the disappearance of a famous artist....

Jim's youth is shattered during the euphoric raves of '89....

A brutal boyhood prank scars three generations of Frank's family....

Corina's gambling addiction costs her far more than money....

And Alan, a man devastated by his past, unravels the darkness of his terrifying father, a man whose shadow has loomed large over the estate for a lifetime.

And then there is the ageless Peg Powler, part myth, part reality: why is she stalking them all? Human nature? Class politics? Whatever it was, it wasn't us....

Deep down we were part of a whole, single energy, and all we had to do was be ready to sink down together.

Superb Narration

I can't say that I loved all the stories and characters that tie this book together, but I absolutely loved the excellent writing and the superb narration by 3 different narrators. I own both the actual book and this audible version. I admit that sometimes I got confused as to the timeline of events and whose point of view was being presented. However, the overall language and that great narration always kept me going all the way for the full 464 pages.

I so wish that Glen James Brown's next book, "Mother Naked" was available as an audible book.
