This first volume of The Balkan Trilogy follows the events in Rumania just before and during World War II through the eyes of Harriet Pringle. A newcomer to Bucharest, and just married to an Englishman teaching at the University, she is in a position to meet and observe people from all walks of life in this strange new world. The Great Fortune is competently and professionally read by Harriet Walter, with good pacing and expression. This is a workmanlike production, of interest mostly because of the setting in the Balkans. J.D.P. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Product Description
Harriet and Guy Pringle, husband and wife, are in Bucharest, where Guy works, at the outbreak of WW2. They are forced to leave the country, travelling through Greece and ending up in North Africa. They are separated and each fear the worst, but love is strong, and hope and faith are even stronger. This audiobook has everything: suspense, tension, laughter, tears, travel and a good dose of action. A detailed account of love against the odds, it makes compulsive listening. It is also a highly-popular TV series starring Emma Thompson and Kenneth Brannagh.
