Redoing my audiobook “Buying a House in Ireland: A Step by Step Guide by a Builder/Solicitor”

I have spent the last few days rerecording my book, “Buying a House in Ireland: A Step by Step Guide by a Builder/Solicitor”.

On starting the book, however, I was taken aback with the level of detail of the physical location of the narrative… Continue reading 2 Audiobooks I Would Strongly Recommend

Dombey & Son By Charles Dickens-an Early Feminist Novel?

One of the greatest pleasures I have discovered in the last ten years or so is the genius of Charles Dickens. It started with Bleak House as this was a book recommended as one that would interest anyone with an interest in the law and legal system. It took a while to get into his… Continue reading Dombey & Son By Charles Dickens-an Early Feminist Novel?
