Eliza by Barry Pain – A free audiobook

 

Narrated by Nigel Boydell
 

This free audiobook adaptation of Barry Pain’s snobbish main character and his poor wife Eliza comes narrated by Nigel Boydell. Eliza is the wife of a rather haughty man who is so self-absorbed that the brunt of his mistakes is mostly taken by his good natured and patient wife. This free audiobook is read through a collection of short anecdotes taken from the everyday life of the couple that, at first glance, seems so dull and tame yet littered with unexpected hazards.

Barry Pain captures the lighter and heavier side of marriage and life with Eliza and is a lighthearted jab at the problems that mostly plague the life of a couple. Nigel Boydell gives life to each word with his pompous delivery that captures the colossal ego of the husband while delivering the sympathetic view of the wife.
