About this listen

It is 1925, and Richard Diver is the high priest of the good life on the white sands of the French Riviera. The Beautiful People - film stars, socialites, aristocrats - gather eagerly and bitchily around him and his wife Nicole. Beneath the breathtaking glamour, however, is a world of pain, and there is at the core of their lives a brittle hollowness. Beautiful, powerful, and tragic, Tender is the Night is one of the great works of American fiction.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

This is of course a wonderful book and the narrator has a good voice for it, and its various accents and languages. However, he hasn't prepared for it by listening to how people spoke a hundred years ago. They did NOT raise the pitch of their voices at the end of phrases so that they sound like questions. This is a 21st-century American thing and I found it off-putting, like the wrong costume or props in a period drama.

Classic book but anachronistic reading

Wow is this story hard to follow... The timeline is everywhere the characters come and go with no substance... A very difficult to follow story that rambles and jumps around...
