À propos de cet audio

 From the author of The Power of One comes an inspiring human drama and war story of three lives brought together and changed forever by the extraordinary events of recent history. Inspired by real events, Bryce Courtenay's new novel tells the story of three people from vastly differing backgrounds. All they have in common is a tough beginning in life. Jack McKenzie is a harmonica player, soldier, dreamer, and small-time professional fisherman from a tiny island in Bass Strait. Nicole Lenoir-Jourdan is a strong-willed woman hiding from an ambiguous past in Shanghai. Larger than life, Private Jimmy Oldcorn was once a street kid and leader of a New York gang. Together, they reap a vast and not always legitimate fortune from the sea. Narrated by celebrated, award-winning actor Humphrey Bower.©2013 Christine Courtenay (P)2014 Bolinda Publishing Pty.

I think this might be my favorite Bryce Courtenay story. It started a little slow for my liking but I'm sure glad I did not give up. The character's stories all get told and it is wonderful.
And absolutely top notch narration yet again by Humphrey Bower. He brings the characters to life.

Brother Fish and so much more.

A classic Courtney story, spanning continents, generations and cultures. And yet another virtuoso performance by the narrator, Humphrey Bower.
A must listen.

Great tale!

How each characters story was created slowly. How each of them became part of the other characters life long friendship.

The many accents that melted in creating each character.

Over the course of the book the narrator, got irritating. The overall story is told by Jack, and he is Tasmanian. The person reading in his voice started to wear on me. I don't really think it is the performer's fault but the voice that the material is written in. I found the beginning of the book mildly interesting. The book is laid out so Jack's story is told, then Jimmy Oldcorn, and finally Nicole Lenoir-Jourdan. Intermixed with the first two people's story is the story of their time in a POW camp in the Korean war. The voice of the first part has the feel of somebody telling a story, and not their story. Which if fine but it is written from a first person perspective. That and the very upbeat Aussie intonations started to grate on me. I probably would have given up on the book but then Nicole's story started and it is quite engrossing. I learned some things about the Korean war and early last century China and Russia, so overall I guess it was worth it.

Loved parts, hated parts
