Mr. Weston's Good Wine


Read by Jim Locke

(1 stars; 1 reviews)

This 1927 novel describes an evening in 1923 when Mr. Weston, who is apparently a wine merchant, but is evidently God, visits the fictional village of Folly Down in Dorset, and meets some of its individuals, whose backgrounds and lives leading up to this day are described during the course of the novel. Mr. Weston's colleague is named Michael, which is an allusion to the Archangel. For a while time stands still, and these individuals, according to their possessing qualities of good or evil, find their ultimate reward. - Summary by Wikipedia and David Wales (7 hr 45 min)

Couldn’t listen to this book because of reader. He read so fast, he scarcely took a breath between sentences. He had had no inflection in his voice so you could even tell speaking parts from regular sentences.
