关于此有声读物
Naxos AudioBooks is proud to be bringing Francis Brett Young (1884–1964) back into the literary limelight. A justly celebrated writer in his time, he drew on his military and medical experience as well as his acute environmental observations to create authentically detailed and poetically rich novels of profound emotional depth. The coal-mining and heavy industry of the Black Country in the West Midlands, observed by the author as a boy, imbue his ‘Mercian’ novels. He creates a sense of place as evocative as Thomas Hardy’s Wessex and his characters are deeply human – flawed, passionate, and unforgettable. After her mother’s death and her father’s remarriage, Claerwen Lydiatt finds herself in the austere surroundings of Pen House with her grandfather and Aunt Cathie. Drawn to her glamorous neighbours, the Hingstons, and with solicitor Dudley Wilburn in the wings, Clare will not be contained; she wants to feel the wind in her hair and find out who she is. Portrait of Clare features, according to the author, ‘a normal and (possibly) a rather silly woman moving quite unimportantly across the West Midland landscape’ – but, like a simple Beethovenian theme, this powers an extraordinary, sophisticated and very moving work. Winner of the James Tait Black Memorial Prize in 1927.
