Human Voices by Penelope Fitzgerald
Requirements: ePUB or MOBI Reader, 1.5MB
Overview: Now that Fitzgerald has widened her audience here Blue Flower was published to rave reviews and the 1997 NBCC fiction award Houghton Mifflin is releasing her early novels in paperback. This gracefully controlled and neatly inlaid chronicle of Britain during WWII, published in England in 1980, reflects the author’s wartime experiences with the BBC.
The beleaguered broadcasters she portrays have chosen truth over consolation; nevertheless they must try to keep their listeners and themselves from despair as the threat of a German invasion mounts and parachute bombs pit the streets. Yet Sam Brooks, RPD (Recorded Programmes Director), lives in a fantasy world of wax discs and nubile women. When he is not trying desperately to capture the sounds of England (spending hundreds of hours and pounds recording the creak of a country church door), Brooks is crying on the shoulder of one or another of his RPAs (Recorded Programmes Assistants), whose ""firmness, and roundness, and readiness to be pleased"" give him strength.
