Download Departures: Seven Stories from Heathrow AudioBook Free
Bestselling writer Tony Parsons has been appointed Heathrow's writer-in-residence. The result is Departures - seven reviews of high episode, offbeat humour and natural emotion Here's Heathrow as it has never been seen before - a key city populated by the 75 million holidaymakers who go through every year, a location where journeys and dreams end - and begin. From the outstanding twenty-something kids who control the skies up in Air Traffic Control to the softly-spoken man who cares for the pet dogs, lions and smuggled rattlesnakes at Heathrow's Animal Reception Centre, from the immigration officers who have observed everything before to the firemen who hone their skills by setting up the green airplane on fire, from the equipped police who watch out for terrorist episodes to the pilots who've touched the facial skin of god - Heathrow teems with life. In Departures, his first collection of short reviews, Tony Parsons can take us profound inside the trick city.
