Tomorrow

De: Damian Dibben

Narrado por: George Blagden

A winter’s night, Venice, 1815. A 217-year-old dog is searching for his lost master.

So begins the journey of Tomorrow, a dog who must travel through the courts and battlefields of Europe - and through the centuries - in search of the man who granted him immortality. His adventures take him to the London Frost Fair, the strange court of King Charles I, the wars of the Spanish succession, Versailles, the golden age of Amsterdam, and to nineteenth-century Venice.

His is a story of loyalty and determination, as Tomorrow befriends both animals and humans, falls in love (only once), marvels at the human ability to make music, despairs at their capacity for war and gains insight into both the strength and frailties of the human spirit. But Tomorrow’s journey is also a race against time. Danger stalks his path, and in the shadows lurks an old enemy. Tomorrow must find his master before their pursuer can reach him and his master disappears forever.

A spellbinding story of hope in the face of despair, Tomorrow draws us into a century-spanning tale of humanity and the unbreakable bond between two souls. After all, what is lost can surely be found…

Not your usual dog story

A very different take on the love of a dog/master. I enjoyed the narrator and glimpses of history. Definitely worth your time.

fascinating

A slow start but worth waiting it out. fascinating story line and plot. I would recommend it

Loved it

Few books have I enjoyed reading as much as this one. I found it entertaining, thought provoking, different.

Very good!

A very different kind of book! Not sure what I expected when I got this, but I must say, I was not disappointed! Loved it!

Narrator talks way too soft

I really wanted to like this book, but it's a little hard when I have to constantly raise and lower the volume. At first I thought it might just be the noisy environment and bad ear buds. Nope, even in a quiet house in to hear the narration the volume would need to be so high that dialog would end up painfully loud. The small bit of the story i did listen to was good, but i will never listen to this narrator ever again.

Delightful

What a delight this book was! I enjoyed every minute of it; the narrator as well as the story line.

great read

really loved it .it was a great story with notes of historical fiction and great for dog lovers

More of this, please!

The descriptive power of this writing is compelling as are the characters and story. This particular performance by George Blagden is superb. I want to listen to this over again but I'll wait and meanwhile read Dibben's "The Color Storm". Although "Tomorrow" is quite different, if you enjoyed Elizabeth Kostova's "The Historian", you'll probably like this. Again, completely different, Tomorrow is as memorable as Paul Auster's "Timbuktu". I love everything about Tomorrow.

Beautiful story, excellent narration

Excellent. Some similar themes to vampire novels, the role of death in life, what it would mean to be immortal, but without the blood and feeding. Strong characters. Loved the portrayal of the dog protagonist: wise, loyal, doggy, but not silly or a caricature. Loved the 16th century setting.

Fantastic distinction of the different character's voices by the narrator.

great story. great reading

loved this story and the reader was best ever.great dog story. recommend to any dog person
