Gene Wilder is one of the great comic actors who defined the 1970s and 1980s in movies. From his work with Woody Allen, to the rich group of movies he made with Mel Brooks, to his partnership on screen with Richard Pryor, Wilder's performances are still discussed and celebrated today.

Wonderful biography from one of life’s gems. Funny, sad, hopeful and sometimes tragic. The most beautiful narration

From the Sunday Times top ten bestselling author of The Psychopath Test, a captivating and brilliant exploration of one of our world's most underappreciated forces: shame. 'It's about the terror, isn't it?' 'The terror of what?' I said. 'The terror of being found out.' For the past three years, Jon Ronson has travelled the world meeting recipients of high-profile public shamings. The shamed are people like us - people who, say, made a joke on social media that came out badly, or made a mistake at work.

Falling pregnant as a teenager in 1952, Philomena Lee was sent to the convent in Co. Tipperary to be looked after as a fallen woman. She cared for her baby for three years until the Church took him and sold him, like countless others, to America for adoption. She spent the next 50 years secretly searching for him, unaware that he was searching for her from across the Atlantic.

Important Story that deserved to be heard
Revisado: 01-10-14
Where does Philomena rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
The story itself is one that is very important to me, the direction in which the book takes the story was a surprise to me, in as much as the detail involved in Michael / Anthonys own personal life. I did have to shelve the book so to speak a number of times as the emotion of sadness and anger overcame me.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Philomena?
Philomena's "own" recollection of the birth of her son and subsequent removal to america was very powerful
What three words best describe John Curless’s performance?
I thought the narrator was poor to be honest. His camp for Michaels friends were unnecessary and at times offensive. His imagining of irish accents in this story were cringeworthy and sometimes took from the story. If this has been another book, i dont think i could have continued with this in mind. I simply dont understand the need to attempt accents in this context.
What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?
This book is essential reading / listening for irish people, adopted people, birth mothers and indeed catholics alike. Whilst most of these stories are quickly forgotten by the public it is important to remember the cruelty that the irish catholic church in collusion with the state were and still are capable of. Please those of you outside of this story consider that people in Michael / Anthony's position remain unable to legally access their own birth records in 2014. This is the story of today and along with the compensation to the mothers that lost needs to be addressed.
