The Street

By: Bernardine Bishop

Narrated by: Anna Bentinck

There's more going on in The Street than its inhabitants realize....

In the course of this delightful, quirky and perceptive audiobook, an elderly soldier with incipient Alzheimer's saves the life of a remarkable child, a resting actor finds real purpose, a woman starved of love discovers it in an unexpected place and a beloved cat achieves immortality.

A book in which little happens but is still worth reading

A small street, with its few houses and the plain lives of their inhabitants. A snapshot in time. Nothing much to read if you are looking for a plot. Plenty to uncover if you are interested in humans in their usual conditions. In the editing of the audiobook I rly didn't like that they have auto-removed the sound of the narrator taking a breath. 1-it makes it sound ennervingly unnatural and 2-the tool is not perfect so in many places the beginning of the words after inhale are trunkated to. The overall quality of the aufioproduction is disappointing.
