The story and writing is wonderful, like Anthony Powell but with things happening. The author exhibits cool Olympian disdain for the characters so far. I haven't finished it yet.
Great book, best audio performance I've heard

What about Harriet Walter’s performance did you like?
I had picked up the Balkan Trilogy several times and never managed to get past the first few pages so I thought I'd try the audiobook and I was immediately hooked. Guy's cluelessness, Harriet's petulance, Yaki's pathetic Yaki-ness, is all perfectly rendered. Once hooked, I easily moved on to the second book without needing the audiobook. But for the third and final installment I returned to the audiobook as if meeting with old friends.If you could take any character from The Great Fortune out to dinner, who would it be and why?
Poor Yaki--he always needs a meal. Although one worries buying him one meal would somehow bind you to him for life.Any additional comments?
Like Tolkein's Lord off the Rings Trilogy, the books in The Balkan Trilogy don't really stand alone and need to be read as one long book.Great Narration to start you off on this trilogy
