A Walker in the Evening

De: Nick Owchar

Narrado por: Richard Griffith

Austria-Hungary, 1909. From the moment Yuri Moroz sets out on an evening patrol of the Ukrainian village where he lives, he’s plunged into memories of the eerie circumstances that forced him to flee London and the priesthood to seek safety far from home.

Eugenie, his wife, is having bad dreams and worries that he’s restless and misses his old life.

That couldn’t be farther from the truth, but his protests have failed to convince her. Now, as he walks the village’s dusty lanes and byways, Yuri recalls his early years as a
Catholic priest, his triumphs in the pulpit, a strange relic left for him by his father, his
encounters with artists, dandies, ghosts, and spiritualists, and a selfish act that led to
disaster. He also encounters some of the village’s usual and not-so-usual suspects as
he struggles to figure out an explanation that will satisfy her by the time the sun rises—if the strange perils waiting for him in the dark don’t get him first.

A thrilling gothic tale, A Walker in the Evening brings together the contrasting worlds of 1880s literary London and a struggling Eastern European village in the life of one unforgettable character.

A Tale of Discovery

One can always relate to a tale of running away only to never escape. This is the classic journey of self discovery and its gentleness is calming as personal pain is absolved.
Well written and well read.
