William Trevor
Acerca de esta escucha
A stunning, rich novel of suspense from one of Ireland’s most distinguished writers.
In Felicia’s Journey, Trevor gently explores the intricate relationship between a predator and his intended victim.
Felicia is young and pregnant, having stolen away from a small Irish town to search for her boyfriend in the industrial sprawl of the English Midlands. Fat, 50ish, and unfailingly reasonable, Mr. Hilditch is looking for a new friend to join the five other girls he has “befriended”. Under Trevor’s master hand, both characters become startlingly sympathetic in their tragic dance from which only one of them will emerge victorious—and alive.

The publication of a new book by William Trevor is a true literary event. One of our finest chroniclers of the human condition, Trevor's precise and unflinching insights into the lives of ordinary people are evidenced once again in this stunning collection of twelve stories. Subtle yet powerful, these exquisitely nuanced tales of regret, deception, adultery, aging, and forgiveness are a rare pleasure, and they confirm Trevor's reputation as a master of the form.

Historia
It is a hot summer in rural Ireland. A child is taken by her father to live with relatives on a farm, not knowing when or if she will be brought home again. In the Kinsellas' house, she finds an affection and warmth she has not known and slowly, in their care, begins to blossom. But there is something unspoken in this new household—where everything is so well tended to—and this summer must soon come to an end.

You are about to travel to Edgecombe St. Mary, a small village in the English countryside filled with rolling hills, thatched cottages, and a cast of characters both hilariously original and as familiar as the members of your own family. Among them is Major Ernest Pettigrew (retired), the unlikely hero of Helen Simonson's wondrous debut. Wry, courtly, opinionated, and completely endearing, Major Pettigrew is one of the most indelible characters in contemporary fiction, and from the very first page of this remarkable novel he will steal your heart.

In 1915, Sherlock Holmes is retired and quietly engaged in the study of honeybees in Sussex when a young woman literally stumbles onto him on the Sussex Downs. Fifteen years old, gawky, egotistical, and recently orphaned, the young Mary Russell displays an intellect to impress even Sherlock Holmes. Under his reluctant tutelage, this very modern, twentieth-century woman proves a deft protégée and a fitting partner for the Victorian detective.

A creepy listen
Last Halloween season I read John Fowles' The Collector and this year I was looking for something equally creepy and I got it. A man who thinks he is totally reasonable preys upon young women. In both books, the creepiness factor is intensified because we hear so much of the inner monologue of the man who is making plans for how to ensnare an unsuspecting woman and justifying his actions to himself. There's no overt violence in either book, just a wonderfully wrought overwhelming sense of dread.
I had more sympathy for this predator than I did for John Fowles' Frederick and I think this could just as easily be called Mr. Hilditch's Journey as the focus is equally if not more so on him than Felicia. The male narrator intensifies this as even when the focus is on Felicia, you have a male voice telling you all about her. I'm curious how my feelings about the book woukd change if they'd had a male and female narrator or just a female narrator.
If you are looking for a very suspenseful but very literary read, and don't mind hints of violence against women, this is highly recommended.
