SPIES

Earphones Award Winner

by | Read by Martin Jarvis

Fiction • 7.5 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2002

Two young boys, neighbors during WWII, get caught up in the secrets and secrecy of wartime domestic life. Stephen, now an old man, revisits the quiet "close" (street) and relates his memories of the surprising events that changed the boys' and neighbors' lives forever. Noted British author and playwright Frayn (COPENHAGEN, NOISES OFF) spins a clever, compelling story that is stunningly read by Martin Jarvis. The unusual structure of reminiscence crossed with first-person narrative demands a keen understanding and finesse as the story follows secret imaginings and actual events. Jarvis gives listeners a tour-de-force performance. R.F.W.
