New Audiobook Helm narrated by Louise Brealey

High Praise indeed for the talented Louise Brealey in the Guardian for reading the Audiobook of the week 'Helm', by Sarah Hall.

Louise teases out the playful and poetic moments of these shapeshifting stories, told from the perspective of the northeasterly wind and those it has wreaked chaos on through the ages. She captures every shift in voice, mood and era with such grace and precision, bringing Sarah Hall’s extraordinary prose vividly to life. This is storytelling at its finest.

Set around the mysterious Helm Wind, the only named wind in England. The novel gives voice to the wind itself, weaving together stories that span thousands of years. From a Neolithic seer to a Victorian engineer and a modern climate scientist, Helm explores humanity’s enduring relationship with the natural world, folklore, memory and the changing climate. It's lyrical, immersive and unlike anything else.

If you love literary fiction, that completely transport you, we highly recommend adding Helm to your listening list.
