Casting Shadows

Paul Hilliar’s narration in Casting Shadows is nothing short of remarkable. His deep, resonant voice lends an air of gravitas to the story, making each era come alive as he describes everything from Neolithic traps to modern fly-fishing techniques. The pacing is impeccable—slow enough for listeners to absorb the historical context but fast enough to keep the narrative flowing smoothly. However, a few sections feel slightly disjointed due to rapid transitions between time periods. Despite this, Fort’s engaging storytelling and Hilliar’s masterful performance make this audiobook an essential listen for anyone fascinated by the history of fishing in Britain.
