FREE (Audible Audiobook) The End of the Affair Narrated by Colin Firth
The End of the Affair UNABRIDGED by Graham Greene Narrated by Colin Firth

Quote:
Publisher's Summary

Graham Greene’s evocative analysis of the love of self, the love of another, and the love of God is an English classic that has been translated for the stage, the screen, and even the opera house. Academy Award-winning actor Colin Firth (The King’s Speech, A Single Man) turns in an authentic and stirring performance for this distinguished audio release.
The End of the Affair, set in London during and just after World War II, is the story of a flourishing love affair between Maurice Bendrix and Sarah Miles. After a violent episode at Maurice’s apartment, Sarah suddenly and without explanation breaks off the affair.
This very intimate story about what actually constitutes love is enhanced by Firth's narration. “This book struck me very, very particularly at the time when I read it," he said, "and I thought my familiarity with it would give the journey a personal slant.”
The End of the Affair is part of Audible’s A-List Collection, featuring the world’s most celebrated actors narrating distinguished works of literature that each star helped select.

Had forgotten audible existed until Colin Firth was mentioned..... made a beeline to it, and encountered..... geo-restrictions, whimper.... I am going to see if my library has this audio book.

(suddenly remembered why audible.com is off my personal radar, and sympathize with others who are restricted from purchasing digital bits)

Wow, I paid full price for this when it came out. It was worth every penny...one of the few audio books I had to hear in one day. Colin Firth is the best narrator ever.

This is one whereby if I could find it on audio CD I'd put it in my stereo to listen to, free or not.... I could listen to Firth read the phone book.

Audible content can be burned once to make audio CD's (in case you didn't know)...

That would be cool if Audible allowed Canadians to be customers

(I tried to get it and it wouldn't allow me due to being "out of region".)

I feel your pain.

"We're sorry. Due to publishing rights restrictions, we are not authorized to sell this item in the country where you live."

In all fairness it's copyright/publishers that are at fault. I've got a bunch of free books from Audible in the past.

OK. That's good to know from another Canadian. I may not totally ignore Audible altogether then. I'll keep trying until I get something

Audible does allow Canadians to be customers, I've bought dozens of audiobooks from them this year. This is actually the first freebie from Audible that's been posted in the past 6 months that wasn't available to Canadians due to geo-restrictions.
