About this listen
Bucharest has fallen, and Harriet and Guy Pringle have escaped to Athens in the nick of time to find several of their old acquaintances there already. But even Guy's eternal optimism fails him when he realises that his former employees feel no gratitude or loyalty to him. Guy and Harriet both come to realise that with Greece threatened by the Axis Powers, Athens is not the safe harbour they thought.
This is the third and final part of The Balkan Trilogy, which began with The Great Fortune and was followed by The Spoilt City.

Farewell to Athens
I loved this third part of the trilogy as I have the previous two books. Please could Harriet Walter now get onto the Levant trilogy because I can't imagine the Pringles and their friends without her wonderful narration.

Wonderful, just wonderful
Read this 50 years ago and in lockdown have been so disappointed by so many contemporary best sellers and lauded novels, decided to return to some old favourites. I’m so glad I did. Rediscovered Daphne Du Murier and now Olivia Manning. Echos of remembrance enhanced my enjoyment, but it wasn’t just nostalgia for my 20s when I read it last, but the pure pleasure of the audio experience and the quality of the writing. Yes, for a modern read, it could do with a good edit and the startling incentive sentences are sometimes weighed down by repetitive character observations but it’s still one if the best lockdown compensations and escape.

The Entire Balkan Trilogy
Beautifully written and wonderfully read. I entered this period of time with some knowledge having studied this period. However this depiction gave life, colour and depth to the relationships between different and unknown individuals during a time of unbelievable stress and struggle.

Still a most enjoyable listen, and a plea.
I loved reading these books and love listening to them. The detail of experiences lived is extraordinary and creates an absorbing world. Please please please please please someone do The Levant Trilogy too, preferably with Harriet Walter again.
