The Strange Journey of Alice Pendelbury

De: Marc Levy, Chris Murray - translator

Narrado por: Elizabeth Knowelden

From international bestselling author Marc Levy comes a witty and beguiling novel of one woman’s unexpected journey to follow her destiny.

Alice Pendelbury believes everything in her life is pretty much in order - from her good friends to her burgeoning career. But even Alice has to admit it’s been an odd week. Not only has her belligerent neighbor, Mr. Daldry, suddenly become a surprisingly agreeable confidant, but he’s encouraging her to take seriously the fortune-teller who told her that only by traveling to Turkey can Alice meet the most important person in her life.

What’s more, the peculiarly insistent Mr. Daldry has even agreed to finance Alice’s trip - one that against all reason seems to be predestined. It’s on this journey, crazy from the outset and strangely irresistible, that Alice will find out that nothing in her life is real, that her past is not true, and that the six people she’s about to encounter will shape her future in ways she could never have dreamed.

Revised edition: Previously published as L’étrange voyage de Monsieur Daldry, this edition of The Strange Journey of Alice Pendelbury includes editorial revisions.

Whispering, Secretive Narration

A first rate story and performance. My only complaint is that the narrator, while quite good, performs the story in a conspiratorial whisper, which I find odd and distracting. The characters are performed with nuance, the accents are believable, and overall it is worth the listen.

What a journey!

This book kept me interested, entertained and excited as the story evolved! Loved the characters and the unexpected finale.

excellent story

I really enjoyed this story. it shows you have to be ready for what is in store for you, or you may miss it.

Boring

I couldn’t finish it anymore as I got bored with the story. There were too many mundane details exchanged back and forth.

Great Surprise!

Such a wonderful story with a surprising ending to her mystery. The narrator did a marvelous job on the different characters. Would definitely recommend!
