About this listen

An elderly man gives virtuoso piano performances in airports and train stations. To the incredulity of the passers-by, he refuses their offers to play in concert halls, or at prestigious gatherings. He is waiting for someone, he tells them.

Joseph was just 16 when he was sent to a religious boarding school in the Pyrenees: les Confins, a dumping ground for waifs, strays, and other abandoned souls. His days were filled with routine and drudgery, and he thought longingly of the solace he found through music in his former life.

Joe dreams constantly of escape, but it seems impossible. That is, until a chance encounter with the orphanage’s benefactor leads him to Rose, and a plan begins to form….

Humorous even in its darkest moments, Devils and Saints tells a daring tale of camaraderie, love, and good triumphing over evil.

An emotional and elegantly told story, and narrated with dexterity and beauty. A sad tale that must be told.

Amazing.

Got recommended this book by a friend.
Joseph has been sent to a religious boarding school where a group of mostly orphans and other abandoned children live.

The narrator Mark Rice-Oxley is truly excellent and makes the various characters come truly alive.

An intriguing story brilliantly performed by Mark Rice-Oxley, who is particularly effective at bringing out the nuances of the evolving characterisation across the timespan of the story. Highly recommended!
