by Nina Bawden. read by Bill Wallis. As Silas Mudd prepares for his 100th birthday party, the past looms large. Silas is remarkable for more than his longevity, and Wallis, who is a master of radio drama and able to create a character with voice alone, captures the essence of the man in subtle accent changes as he moves from humble beginnings in Norfolk to Belgravian eminence. It would have been a sin to have abridged this skilfully structured novel — so quietly engrossing that I missed my turning and had to drive miles out of my way while listening (6hrs 43 mins, unabridged).
