Paraffin Winter
Peter Chowney on Podiobooks.comThe winter of 1963 was the coldest winter of the century in the UK, at a time when post-war austerity and social class divisions made for a miserable life for many people. These were the days of back boilers, bubble and squeak, paraffin oil stoves, gas works, steam trains, and starting handles. The 1960s technological and social revolution hadn't happened yet.

United States6 years ago - Impressed. Very Much.
I'm listening to PW at my catering job. It's rather dull and I have a lot of time where I'd otherwise just be sitting inside of my own head, musing. I have to say, I only grabbed PW because it was promo'd on the front page, but I am really, really enjoying it.
I'm about 3/4+ of the way through, so I haven't quite seen how everything plays out, but I am hopeful. And so very glad that you took the time to record and release this book, Peter.
I went in expecting a relatively interesting read, s... more

United Kingdom12 years ago - Paraffin Winter
A fine murder mystery. I was hooked early by the characters and the mundane 1960's cultural references, even to the point of a brief mention of Silent Spring and lot's of frozen peas. I thought the pacing was just right.

Paraffin Winter is on a different level the majority of the other books here. The story is great and the recording is very well done This is a 4.5 out of 5 stars work of fiction, and I would highly recommend it.
Apple Podcasts5CMHIIUnited States13 years ago - Loved every minute.
Excellent, I loved every minute of this story, it kept me listening regularly into the night. Beautifully read by the author and I loved the characters and the detail, it took me back to growing up in the 50's and 60's. I too remember the cold winters, the frost on the inside of the windows and the bloop-bloop of the paraffin heaters. As kids we had to trudge through the snow to our local DIY shop to get the gallon cans filled up. My first car was a secondhand Ford 100E with a side valve engine,... more

What a great podcast. I loved the narration and the characters. It was hard to put it down (my iPod that is). It was a real nostalgia trip too as I remember the winter of 1963 well. Well done Peter. Thanks for a good listen.
