To the Dark Tower
by Victor Kelleher (Julia MacRae, 1992)
audiobook read by Francis Greenslade (Bolinda, 2007)
A suitably atmospheric, at times unsettling MG reworking of Robert Browning’s narrative poem ‘Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came’. Engrossing at the outset, the story sags in the middle but redeems itself with a measured, rather downbeat ending to the quest.
