Tommy and Grizel by J. M. Barrie ~ Full Audiobook [drama]

Tommy and Grizel by J. M. Barrie audiobook.

Genre: drama

Tommy and Grizel (1900) is J. M. Barrie's bittersweet sequel to Sentimental Tommy, following Thomas (Tommy) Sandys as he tries to turn boyhood imagination into a life worth living. Sixteen and solemn, Tommy arrives in foggy London with his devoted sister, Elspeth, and falls into the orbit of O. P. Pym, a booming, unreliable popular writer who hires the farm-bred youth as an assistant. Under Pym's chaotic mentorship, Tommy discovers both the seduction of authorship and the danger of believing his own carefully staged sentiments. Fame comes in an unexpected form, and the persona he invents begins to harden into a cage. When Tommy is drawn back toward his Scottish roots and the small-town world that first shaped his fantasies, he is forced to face Grizel, the steadfast girl he has long idealized, along with a web of friends, rivals, and memories that refuse to fit his tidy stories. Moving between sharp comedy and quiet ache, Barrie explores love that is easier to preach than to practice, the costs of ambition, and the painful work of growing up when your truest enemy is the myth you have made of yourself.
