Ordering Your Private World Free Audiobook Download by Gordon Macdonald

After a recent drop in his business, Gord Macdonald needs to get his world back on track. With the help of his old friend and mentor, Edward Hardacre, he sets out to do just that. He starts with purchasing a house in the country and an adjoining estate so that he can begin reaping the benefits of what he has learned to create a new and improved successful business.

From Julian Barnes’s bestselling novel, Gordon Macdonald, a "retired" actor and writer is disillusioned with the public life that he has lived his entire life. As he says in the preface of this book: "I have had a long and happy life and I feel lucky to have worked in many different parts of the world." He decides to move back home and live by himself, but it turns out that this was not what he wanted. After some time the narrator finds himself in need of companionship. He is just about to give up on finding someone when he stumbles upon “a face from my past” who lights up his whole new existence.

'Maurice England' delivers a narration that strikes a perfect balance between feeling and sound. I appreciate the subtlety of his performance, as well as his ability to create distinct characters from one voice. If you're considering re-listening to this audiobook, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for hidden treasures!

It's been said that love is blind and while Gordon doesn't know that for sure, he does know what his world would be like without Joyce. His world would be unimaginably dark and lonely. So one evening when she was gone, he decided to do something drastic - he ordered her a private world!

Gordon Macdonald's genre is not easy to define, but it is difficult to classify. His approachable prose and open, honest style make his writing accessible to a wide audience.
