The Book of Kells

De: R. A. MacAvoy

Narrado por: Alan Robertson

An unusual and original work of fantasy from the acclaimed author of Tea with the Black Dragon.

A contemporary man, John Thornburn (a meek, non-violent and unpredictable artist) and woman, Derval (his tough, confrontational, strong and warrior-like lover) time travel to ancient Ireland to avenge a Viking attack. Packed with fascinating details of historical time and place in Irish history and delicately balanced on the border between realism and fantasy, the story centers around one of the most famous and beautiful illuminated manuscripts in history, the legendary but entirely real Book of Kells. Celtic history blends with magical fantasy for a strange and immersive tale of adventure.

Lots of violence but well done.

Very good narrator. Story is absorbing but not for the squeamish. Loved the character development!

Enjoyable listen!

Predictable but very enjoyable. The narrator made a wonderful story even more enjoyable.
Entertaining listen.

Loved this book and it holds up

The reader is good too. I'd have given performance five stars but there needed to be a beat between point of view changes--confusing every now and again

All the Good Things

All the good things are in this book-- love and poetry and music and art, and time-travel and swords, betrayal and loyalty. Fans of Outlander should find it irresistible. Flawless Audible performance. I just wanted him to keep telling me the story, even after it was finished.

Good book

must read . Irish to the bone full of action and intrigue and fantasy awesome
