À propos de cet audio

From the New York Times best-selling author of A Gentleman in Moscow and Rules of Civility comes a stylish and alluring new story about art, money, and a precious family heirloom - brought magically to life by the beloved voice of six-time Emmy-winner John Lithgow.

Like many well-to-do Upper East Siders over the age of 65, esteemed art appraiser Percival Skinner had planned to spend his retirement living off his savings. But a market correction has left him living below his prior means. One day he’s visited by a dapper fixer in search of a famous work by the Renaissance master Giuseppe Didomenico. Skinner knows the work well: The original was owned by his ancestor, and was passed down through his family over the generations. If, as an intermediary, he can coordinate a sale, a small fortune awaits. Problem is, he might not be the only one on the make.

Told with the quixotic energy of a classic Henry James tale and the gleeful absurdity of drawing-room comedy, this playful and effortlessly heartwarming story from one of America’s most gifted writers is a welcome reminder that sometimes what we find is more valuable than what we are looking for.

What a delightful little audiobook. Amor Towles has become one of my favourite authors, so a book all about art, set in New York City, had me charmed before I even started. John Lithgow’s narration was just the cherry on top. My only complaint was that the story was so short. Highly recommended.

Delightful!

Quietly amusing tale of a snobbish man living above his means, wishing to benefit from a family heirloom. Beautifully written. The ending was perfect. A truly enjoyable novella.

Quietly Humourous, Very enjoyable

I listened to this after a lengthy listen to A Gent In Moscow and I really enjoyed both. But the play between the narrator and the text in this story was superb. Mr. Lithgow is a respected humorist but he really hit the nail squarely in this recording. I listened a second time just to focus on his interpretation and it was definitely worth it.

What a fun little romp
