The Land Of Green Ginger
About this audiobook
Joanna, beautiful and other-worldly, finds herself trapped with her consumptive husband and two girls on a small farm in North Yorkshire. Ground down by local prejudice, her husband’s bitter despair and the merciless demands of their loss-making farm, Joanna escapes into a fantasy world of exotic islands, faraway cities - and Sir Walter Raleigh. Her journey through trial and tragedy however leads to a hopeful and uplifting conclusion.
Winifred Holtby’s wry wit, social commentary and acute observation illuminates and elevates this touching story. Written before her better known work South Riding, Holtby’s consummate skill as an author is in its first bloom.
From producer Justin Hill comes the first unabridged audiobook adaptation of The Land Of Green Ginger. Award-winning narrator Clive Hayward gives a powerhouse performance, ably assisted by Lucy Scott.
