THE ROSE FIELD written by Philip Pullman and read by Michael Sheen
Michael Sheen’s third narration in THE ROSE FIELD, the third in Philip Pullman’s Book of Dust series, gives the audios the spectacular finale they deserve. His versatile skills bring to life daemons, griffins, witches, and humans alike in a story where 20-year-old Lyra searches for her daemon Pan, an essential secret to Dust and her place in the world. In chapters that shift viewpoints Sheen’s mastery of accents and emotional ranges keep listeners anchored even within rapid rushing dialogues. Sheen excels with pacing, transitioning easily from quiet philosophical scenes to tender moments between characters, to his gripping reading of propulsive moments. The already-satisfying audio concludes with an hour-long interview between Sheen and Pullman that shows their devotion to story, admiration of each other’s work and the caring for characters in the series.
