    Description

    Shortlisted for the Irish Times International Fiction Prize, 1993
    Winner of the Commonwealth Writers Prize, 1994
    Winner of the WH Smith Literary Award, 1994

    A Suitable Boy is now a major 2020 BBC TV series and one of the BBC's 100 novels that shaped our world.

    The award-winning BBC Radio 4 adaptation of Vikram Seth's masterpiece.

    A Suitable Boy is Vikram Seth's epic love story set in India. Funny and tragic, with engaging, brilliantly observed characters, it is as close as you can get to Dickens for the 20th century. 

    The story unfolds through four middle-class families - the Mehras, Kapoors, Khans and Chatterjis. Lata Mehra, a university student, is under pressure from her mother to get married. But not to just anyone she happens to fall in love with. There are standards to be met and finding a husband for Lata becomes a family affair in which all the members are to play a part. The characters struggle, they try to buck the system, to break free of restraint, of interference - but ultimately their strength and sense of being comes from their family and friends. It is a celebration of ordinariness; a beautifully composed story that is an affirmation of family and friendship.

    In his sweeping epic, Vikram Seth has created an entire world filled with warmth, humour, pathos, tragedy - in short, life. Recorded on location in India, A Suitable Boy is made by the production team behind the award-winning Bleak House and The Handmaid's Tale.

    Dramatised and directed by John Dryden. A Goldhawk Production.

    Commentaires

    "The drama highlight of the year... this sumptuous production, wonderfully atmospheric, written with pace and performed, by an all-Indian cast, quite superbly. The novel may be vast but I was convinced by this version right from the start. Magnificent drama." (Radio Times)

    This was by far the worst Audible book I have ever listened to. After several attempts to get through it, I gave up and bought the book on Kindle. Which I thoroughly enjoyed.

    would prefer unabridged naration

    It is my own fault because I didn't know what dramatized meant, but it turns out I don't like that format. I would MUCH prefer the actual book being READ. I don't like the background sound effects. I will probably come back to this one at some point, after I have run out of other things to listen to, but I personally MUCH prefer actual reading of the unabridged book. I wish I had not purchased this now, as I will ultimately need to buy it again as a BOOK. but again, my own fault.

    A wonderful drama

    I read this book as a teenager after it was nominated for the Booker prize. This book is one of my all time favourites but is enormous and took me a few months to finish. This adaptation greatly shortens the original but really captures the story of Lata and her journey to finding a husband. The actors and actresses were all excellent and I thoroughly recommend this audiodrama.

    Not my cup of tea...

    As a radio play it felt more like listening to the soundtrack of a film (of course, without being able to see what's going on.) From listening to a lot of radioplays, I found that the best ones have scripts written specifically for radio... it felt like this one didn't. And I don't know but I feel like I've heard this kind of story a hundred times before. Not my cup of tea. I get the feeling I'd enjoy reading the book more.

    Excellent Dramatization

    I never expected to find an audiobook so interesting. With the clear play of music at the appropriate times, listening to the audiobook is as refreshing as reading the book, and we hardly ever miss out on any part.

    A Suitable Boy

    I could not listen to it. When I downloaded, I didn't realize it was a PERFORMANCE. I don't mind listening to more than one narrator, but I'm put off by a performance of a play when I want to hear the book as if I were reading it. My rating is not based on content, as I only listen for a short time. I didn't like the format.

    Short, but good charectors

    The charectors were all very well potrayed. The version is too short however to encapsulate vikram seths original book which is very thick. The build up to charectors hence is too short to enjoy the story and the chapters change rather abruptly and sometimes hard to follow.

    what an annoying radio drama

    Would you try another book from Vikram Seth and/or Full Cast?

    I was really looking forward to this great read. One of Seth's greatest talents is the way he talks about music. The producers of this drama decided to include the music he talks about, mixed way too loud, rather than include the descriptions of the music. If you try to listen to this in a car it is nearly impossible to make out the dialogue. This might be fine with headphones but I found it quite annoying.

    Absolutely beautiful ~ an Audible Performance that was visually created in my mind!

    Brilliant probably one of the best audibles I have heard! Loved the voices by each character, kept me engaged & my imagination going. Particularly loved the 🎼. Have never been to Calcutta but felt I have. Bravo!

    many triggers.

    I you have problems with extra marital affairs, incest and rape along with drinking and drugs. I suggest you not listen to this book
    I only made it halfway through and was feeling so awful after she was raped by her uncle that I stopped and found something else to listen to.

    Completely incomprehensible.

    I have had people highly recommend this. I can’t understand why. The background noise is distracting and way too loud so that I was constantly turning the volume up and down to hear the voices.
    The plot, if there is one, is very difficult to follow. Too many characters that are difficult to identify and their stories connect in very mon-linear ways. I found the whole book/ play very confusing and had to stop. I would seriously not buy this book.
