Review: The Narrow Road to the Deep North

This is another book I ‘read’ by listening to it via Audible.com. It was read by Richard Flanagan himself. I’m not sure if that was really successful. I found his voice a little flat and very broad. But that is really an aside.
The book itself is another matter altogether.
Lyrical; painful; and so so melancholy. At times I had to stop and take a breath, as the emotions are overwhelming.
I’ve always wondered how any of those men that did survive the war functioned back home. Flanagan eloquently conveys how very damaged most of them must have been.
Highly highly recommended.
