Title: [Spanish] - Cometierra Author: Dolores Reyes Narrator: Caro Capiello Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 51 minutes Release date: December 8, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Dice Cometierra: "Me acosté en el suelo, sin abrir los ojos. Había aprendido que de esa oscuridad nacían formas. Traté de verlas y de no pensar en nada más, ni siquiera en el dolor que me llegaba desde la panza. Nada, salvo un brillo que miré con toda atención hasta que se transformó en dos ojos negros. Y de a poco, como si la hubiera fabricado la noche, vi la cara de María, los hombros, el pelo que nacía de la oscuridad más profunda que había visto en mi vida". Cuando era chica, Cometierra tragó tierra y supo en una visión que su papá había matado a golpes a su mamá. Esa fue solo la primera de las visiones. Nacer con un don implica una responsabilidad hacia los otros y a Cometierra le tocó uno que hace su vida doblemente difícil, porque vive en un barrio en donde la violencia, el desamparo y la injusticia brotan en cada rincón y porque allí las principales víctimas son las mujeres. En la persecución de la verdad, en el descubrimiento del amor, en el cuidado entre hermanos, Cometierra buscará su propio camino. Dolores Reyes ha escrito una primera novela terrible y luminosa, lírica, dulce y brutal, narrada con una voz que nos conmueve desde la primera página. "Lo más intenso que he leído en mucho tiempo. Reyes es capaz de sugerir la violencia desde una posición lírica, alejada de la manía de mostrar por mostrar. Con diálogos muy sencillos e imágenes a ratos surrealistas, nos hace llorar a fuerza de sugerir la miseria de todo un país y la terrorí ca situación que afrontan sus mujeres."  Luna de Miguel Dolores Reyes Fri, 08 Dec 2023 12:30:50 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/734286 thebookvoice.com 3:51:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/734286]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: There Are Rivers in the Sky: A novel Author: Elif Shafak Narrator: Olivia Vinall, Elif Shafak Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 48 minutes Release date: August 20, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.5 of Total 2 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: From the Booker Prize finalist, author of The Island of Missing Trees, an enchanting new tale about three characters living along two great rivers, all connected by a single drop of water. 'Make place for Elif Shafak on your bookshelf. Make place for her in your heart too. You won't regret it.'—Arundhati Roy, winner of the Booker Prize In the ancient city of Nineveh, on the bank of the River Tigris, King Ashurbanipal of Mesopotamia, erudite but ruthless, built a great library that would crumble with the end of his reign. From its ruins, however, emerged a poem, the Epic of Gilgamesh, that would infuse the existence of two rivers and bind together three lives.  In 1840 London, Arthur is born beside the stinking, sewage-filled River Thames. With an abusive, alcoholic father and a mentally ill mother, Arthur’s only chance of escaping destitution is his brilliant memory. When his gift earns him a spot as an apprentice at a leading publisher, Arthur’s world opens up far beyond the slums, and one book in particular catches his interest: Nineveh and Its Remains. In 2014 Turkey, Narin, a ten-year-old Yazidi girl, is diagnosed with a rare disorder that will soon cause her to go deaf. Before that happens, her grandmother is determined to baptize her in a sacred Iraqi temple. But with the rising presence of ISIS and the destruction of the family’s ancestral lands along the Tigris, Narin is running out of time.  In 2018 London, the newly divorced Zaleekah, a hydrologist, moves into a houseboat on the Thames to escape her husband. Orphaned and raised by her wealthy uncle, Zaleekah had made the decision to take her own life in one month, until a curious book about her homeland changes everything.   A dazzling feat of storytelling, There Are Rivers in the Sky entwines these outsiders with a single drop of water, a drop which remanifests across the centuries. Both a source of life and harbinger of death, rivers—the Tigris and the Thames—transcend history, transcend fate: “Water remembers. It is humans who forget.” Elif Shafak Tue, 20 Aug 2024 12:30:50 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/734272 thebookvoice.com 16:48:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/734272]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Black Butterflies: A novel Author: Priscilla Morris Narrator: Priscilla Morris, Rachel Atkins Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 54 minutes Release date: August 20, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: A NEW YORK TIMES BEST HISTORICAL NOVEL OF THE YEAR • SHORT-LISTED FOR THE WOMEN’S PRIZE FOR FICTION • A timeless story of strife and hope set during the conflict in the Balkans in the early '90s—a searing debut novel about a woman who faces the war on her doorstep with courage, fierceness, and an unshakable belief in the power of art. “A reflective novel . . . that tells us life goes on, love stories develop, humanity remains in the most inhumane of times.” —Irish Independent Sarajevo, spring 1992. Each night, nationalist gangs erect makeshift barricades, splitting the city into ethnic enclaves. Each morning, the people who live there—whether Muslim, Croat, or Serb—push the barriers aside. When violence erupts and becomes, finally, unavoidable, Zora, an artist and teacher, sends her husband and elderly mother to safety in England. She stays behind, reluctant to believe that hostilities will last more than a few weeks. As the city falls under siege, everything she loves about her home is laid to waste, black ashes floating over the rooftops. Yet Zora and her friends find ways to rebuild themselves, over and over. Told with breathtaking immediacy, this is a story of disintegration, resilience, and hope—a stirring debut from a commanding new voice.

Title: How to Leave the House: A Novel Author: Nathan Newman Narrator: Imogen Wilde, Christian Coulson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 35 minutes Release date: August 13, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: “Profound—and profoundly sidesplitting.” —Bobby Finger, The New York Times It's Natwest's last day before he leaves for university, and there's only one thing on his mind: the deeply embarrassing package he ordered to his house—which still hasn't arrived. He won't leave town without it. Any alternative is too distressing to consider. . . This is the story of twenty-four hours in the life of Natwest, and his small-town odyssey in pursuit of the missing package. And yet it's also the story of a middle-aged dentist who dreams of being a respected artist—but the only thing he can seem to paint is the human mouth. And it's the story of a tortured imam involved in a quasi-romantic entanglement with the local vicar; and an octogenerian mourning the death of her secretive husband; and a troubled teenager whose nudes have leaked on the internet. It's the story of Natwest's obnoxious ex-boyfriend, and his class-traitor mother and her childhood boyfriend, and the life-changing secrets he knows about Natwest's past. Alternating between Natwest's idiosyncratic inner world and the perspectives of the other characters—and dazzling in its energy, imagination and originality—this is an outrageously funny and tenderly moving story about being connected to everyone and everything at all times; about love, friendship, and the lies we tell ourselves; about unhappy endings, happy endings—and whether anything really is as simple as one or the other.

Title: Wild Failure: Stories Author: Zoe Whittall Narrator: Hillary Huber Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 22 minutes Release date: August 20, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: A dazzling debut collection of ten powerful, feminist, and queer short stories from bestselling author Zoe Whittall “Absorbing and wrenchingly intimate, with a rare balance of wit and tenderness.”—Jenny Fran Davis, author of Dykette In Wild Failure, characters encounter feelings of shame, desire, attachment, and disconnection as they find themselves navigating their way through bad decisions, unusual situations, and fraught relationships. In “Oh, El,” a dominant woman can’t stop herself from toying with the tender heart of her co-worker. The title story, “Wild Failure,” is a doomed love story between an agoraphobic and a wilderness hiker. In “Half-Pipe,” a teen girl’s heterosexual ambivalence results in chaos at a skate park. A group of idealistic roommates find themselves the subject of a true crime podcast in “Murder at the Elm Street Collective House.” In “The Sex Castle Lunch Buffet,” a woman reflects on her brief stint at a nineties strip club after she learns of the death of a former client. Wild Failure is replete with Whittall’s perceptive humor and acute insights into human nature. It’s also a dynamic and vibrant collection of poetic fiction that contend with the meaning of desire in a world that devalues femininity and queerness.

A group of idealistic roommates find themselves the subject of a true crime podcast in “Murder at the Elm Street Collective House.” In “The Sex Castle Lunch Buffet,” a woman reflects on her brief stint at a nineties strip club after she learns of the death of a former client. Wild Failure is replete with Whittall’s perceptive humor and acute insights into human nature. It’s also a dynamic and vibrant collection of poetic fiction that contend with the meaning of desire in a world that devalues femininity and queerness.

Title: The Hypocrite: A Novel Author: Jo Hamya Narrator: Claire Kinson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 58 minutes Release date: August 13, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: ONE OF THE ATLANTIC'S 10 BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR • DAKOTA JOHNSON’S TEATIME PICTURES SEPTEMBER BOOK CLUB PICK ● From a fiercely talented writer poised to be a new generation’s Rachel Cusk or Deborah Levy, a novel set between the London stage and Sicily, about a daughter who turns her novelist father’s fall from grace into a play, and a father who increasingly fears his precocious daughter’s voice. “A sharp book, beautifully written.” —Rumaan Alam, author of Leave the World Behind and Entitlement 'Excellent...I enjoyed the novel hugely...Like Edward St Aubyn and Anne Enright, Hamya is so good on generational conflict, the friction of family, and the damage done by charming but complacent men. But The Hypocrite is a strikingly original book too. I tore through it, shoulders clenched but full of admiration.' —David Nicholls, author of One Day, in Electric Literature August 2020. Sophia, a young playwright, awaits her father’s verdict on her new show. A famous author whose novels haven’t aged as gracefully into the modern era as he might have hoped, he is completely unaware that the play centers around a vacation the two took years earlier to an island off Sicily, where he dictated to her a new book. Sophia’s play has been met with rave reviews, but her father has studiously avoided reading any of them. When the house lights dim however, he understands that his daughter has laid him bare, has used the events of their summer to create an incisive, witty, skewering critique of the attitudes and sexual mores of the men of his generation.   Set through one staging of the play, The Hypocrite seamlessly and scorchingly shifts time and perspective, illuminating an argument between a father and his daughter that, with impeccable nuance, examines the fraught inheritances each generation is left to contend with and the struggle to nurture empathy in a world changing at lightning-speed.

Title: The Princess of 72nd Street: A Novel Author: Elaine Kraf Narrator: Kristen Sieh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 43 minutes Release date: August 6, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: A provocative and thoroughly feminist “cult classic” (The New Yorker) about a smart, sensitive, yet deeply troubled young woman fighting to live on her own terms. I am glad I have the radiance. This time I am wiser. No one will know… The radiance drifts blue circles around my head. If I wanted to I could float up and through them. I am weightless. My brain is cool like rippling waves. Conflict does not exist. For a moment I cannot see—the lights are large orange flowers. Ellen has two lives. A single artist living alone on New York’s Upper West Side in the 1970s, she periodically descends into episodes she describes as “radiances.” While under the influence of the radiance, she becomes Princess Esmeralda, and West 72nd Street the kingdom over which she rules. Life as Esmeralda is a colorful, glorious, liberating experience for Ellen, and despite the chaos and stigma these episodes can bring, she relishes the respite from the confines of the everyday. And yet those around her, particularly the men in her life, are threatened by her incarnation as Esmeralda and the freedom it gives her. In what would turn to be her final published work, originally released in 1979, Elaine Kraf tackles a dark and disturbing subject in an utterly original, witty, and inventive manner. Provocative at the time of its publication and thoroughly iconoclastic, The Princess of 72nd Street is a remarkable portrait of an unforgettable woman.

Title: There's Nothing Wrong with Her Author: Kate Weinberg Narrator: Louiza Patikaz Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 27 minutes Release date: August 6, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: 'Beautiful.' —Sarah Jessica Parker 'The best thing you'll read this year.' —Kiley Reid, author of Such a Fun Age A raw, tenderly comic, and perfectly off-kilter novel about a woman who occasionally finds herself in 'The Pit”—a delirious state of semiconsciousness—and the improbable, sometimes imagined people who meet her there. Vita Woods is on the brink. She produces a popular podcast and lives with her successful doctor boyfriend, Max, with whom the sex is great and the future promising. Her brilliant if unreliable sister, Gracie, is her best friend and sparring partner. And her steadfast goldfish, Whitney Houston, brightens even her dimmest days. But as much as things are going right, the days are dark. Vita is not leaving the house. In fact, she can barely make it out of bed. Instead, she spends long, blurred hours falling in and out of The Pit, dead to the world and to herself. For months, Vita has been sick with an illness that no doctor, not even Max, can diagnose. And recently, Luigi, a Renaissance poet nursing a 500-year-old heartbreak, has started showing up at her bedside, bringing snacks and unsolicited romantic advice. He says he’s come to release her. The issue is: he may be a ghost, an apparition of her sickly mind. Then, when an unexpected mix-up pushes her into the path of her upstairs neighbors, Vita finds friendship—and perhaps more—in the apartment above. But something about her 'condition' keeps nagging at her. What if the problem is Vita herself? Because as far as anyone can prove . . . there’s nothing wrong with her.

Title: The Tempest Author: William Shakespeare Narrator: The Arc, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 8 minutes Release date: December 3, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: The Tempest is a play by William Shakespeare, probably written in 1610–1611, and thought to be one of the last plays that he wrote alone. After the first scene, which takes place on a ship at sea during a tempest, the rest of the story is set on a remote island, where Prospero, a complex and contradictory character, lives with his daughter Miranda, and his two servants: Caliban, a savage monster figure, and Ariel, an airy spirit. The play contains music and songs that evoke the spirit of enchantment on the island. It explores many themes, including magic, betrayal, revenge, and family. In Act IV, a wedding masque serves as a play-within-a-play, and contributes spectacle, allegory, and elevated language. Although The Tempest is listed in the First Folio as the first of Shakespeare's comedies, it deals with both tragic and comic themes, and modern criticism has created a category of romance for this and others of Shakespeare's late plays.

Her mission: to infiltrate a commune of radical eco-activists influenced by the beliefs of an enigmatic elder, Bruno Lacombe, who has rejected civilisation, lives in a Neanderthal cave, and believes the path to enlightenment is a return to primitivism. Sadie casts her cynical eye over this region of ancient farms and sleepy villages, and finds Bruno’s idealism laughable, but just as she is certain she’s the seductress and puppet master of those she surveils, Bruno Lacombe is seducing her with his ingenious counter-histories, his artful laments, his own tragic story. Beneath this a taut, dazzling story of espionage and intrigue lies one of a woman caught in the crossfire between the past and the future, and a profound treatise on human history.

A mischievous and genre-spanning story collection from legendary film director Pedro Almodóvar The Last Dream brings together for the first time twelve unpublished stories from Almodóvar’s personal archive, written between the late sixties and the present day. Delivering a tantalising glimpse into Almodóvar’s world, this wildly inventive collection reflects his most intimate obsessions, as well as his daring evolution as an artist. Ranging from ‘The Last Dream’ - a beautiful chronicle of the death of Almodóvar’s mother - to a love story between Jesus and Barabbas;, a cult film director out in search of painkillers on a bank holiday weekend, the original story behind the film Bad Education, and a gothic tale of a repentant vampire, these stories delight and surprise. The Last Dream is a celebration of the relationship between life and art, fiction and reality from an artist unafraid to write about our most intimate moments. It explores desire, mortality and the pain and glory of artistic creation, laced with playful humour and a deep love of literature and culture.

Title: [Spanish] - Las invitadas Author: Silvina Ocampo Narrator: Soledad García De Quirós Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 26 minutes Release date: December 26, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Los cuentos de Las invitadas -elogiados por Ítalo Calvino y Borges- son una ventana abierta a un mundo frágilmente cotidiano y, por eso, tan extraño como perturbador. Los cuentos de Las invitadas -publicado originariamente en 1961- son una ventana abierta a un mundo familiar y perturbador a la vez, donde la realidad más prosaica se desliza sutilmente hacia la irrealidad o hacia esa zona de lo real que pertenece a lo desconocido. Entremezclada con las frases donde relampaguea un humor rebelde, la ambigüedad está acentuada por la mirada inocente que la autora parece arrojar sobre los objetos y las personas que la rodean, como si los contemplara por primera vez. O como si los creara por el solo hecho de nombrarlos. En el cuento que da título al libro, el pequeño Lucio mantiene encuentros clandestinos con siete misteriosas invitadas que representan los siete pecados capitales. En 'El diario de Porfiria', una romántica institutriz inglesa es sometida a una perturbadora metamorfosis. Cuarenta niños sordomudos, tras un accidente aéreo, se arrojan al abismo, provistos de alas, y desaparecen en el cielo. Con estos relatos únicos en la literatura argentina del siglo XX, la imaginación rigurosa e incansable de Silvina Ocampo logra 'mostrarnos el cielo para precipitarnos en el infierno'. «La discreta y distante Silvina Ocampo ha escrito historias memorables.» Julio Cortázar Silvina Ocampo Tue, 26 Dec 2023 12:30:50 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/733911 thebookvoice.com 8:26:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/733911]]> to listen full audiobooks.

En 'El diario de Porfiria', una romántica institutriz inglesa es sometida a una perturbadora metamorfosis. Cuarenta niños sordomudos, tras un accidente aéreo, se arrojan al abismo, provistos de alas, y desaparecen en el cielo. Con estos relatos únicos en la literatura argentina del siglo XX, la imaginación rigurosa e incansable de Silvina Ocampo logra 'mostrarnos el cielo para precipitarnos en el infierno'. «La discreta y distante Silvina Ocampo ha escrito historias memorables.» Julio Cortázar https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/733906 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/733906]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: [Spanish] - Blancura Author: Jon Fosse Narrator: Carlos Di Blasi Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 34 minutes Release date: December 12, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: La novela más reciente del Premio Nobel de Literatura 2023. Una magnífica e intensa pieza literaria de cadencia hipnótica. «La obra de Fosse es un enigma que da vida y esperanza a quien la lee. Ilumina el alma humana como solo lo hacen los elegidos». Manuel Vilas Un hombre conduce sin un rumbo en mente, hasta que su coche queda atascado al final de una pista forestal. Es una tarde de finales de otoño, ya casi no hay luz y comienza a nevar. En lugar de volver caminando hacia atrás en busca de ayuda o quedarse en el coche, de forma imprudente y sin saber muy bien por qué, el hombre decide adentrarse en el bosque. Inevitablemente, se pierde, y la noche sigue avanzando. Cuando el agotamiento y el frío empiezan a vencerlo, vislumbra un extraño resplandor en medio de la oscuridad. Blancura es la última novela de Jon Fosse. El autor galardonado con el Nobel arrastra al oyente en una narración enigmática, inquietante e hipnótica: un audiolibro tan breve como intenso. La crítica ha dicho: «El Beckett del siglo veintiuno». Le Monde «Uno de los más importantes escritores europeos». Karl Ove Knausgård «Sus innovadoras obras de teatro y su prosa han dado voz a lo impronunciable». Jurado del Premio Nobel «Una de las voces literarias más interesantes y versátiles del mundo». Juan Arnau, El País «Estamos ante una grandeza literaria fuera de lo común. Por esta grandeza, la Academia sueca ha concedido con toda razón el premio Nobel a Jon Fosse». Paul Binding, The Times Literary Supplement «La prosa de Fosse no habla tanto como atestigua, despliega, acumula. Fluye como la conciencia misma [...]. Quizá por eso Blancura resulta tan trascendental [...]. No sabes muy bien hacia dónde te diriges. Pero no importa: quieres seguir leyendo, moverte al ritmo de esas palabras». Matthew Janney, Financial Times «Se ha comparado a Fosse con Ibsen y Beckett, y es fácil ver que su obra, como la de Ibsen, se enraiza en lo esencial de las emociones. Pero es mucho más. Entre otras cosas, cuenta con una feroz simplicidad poética». Anita Gates, The New York Times «Me atrapó desde el primer libro esa manera de contar tan hipnótica […]. Septología es una obra global, redonda, en la que la manera de narrar es más importante que lo que se narra».

Title: Swallow the Ghost: A Novel Author: Eugenie Montague Narrator: Jennifer Pickens, Matt Godfrey, James Fouhey, Dan Bittner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 2 minutes Release date: August 20, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Swallow the Ghost traces the impact of a violent event on three different lives, each interconnected story further complicating the truth. Things are going well for Jane Murphy, or so it seems. She’s making it in New York, a sort of wunderkind at the social media marketing startup where she works. She’s put an experimental writer, Jeremy Miller, on the map by helping him concoct a viral internet novel, told in fragments through various fake social media accounts. But privately, Jane feels trapped, ruled by her routines and her compulsions, caught up in an endless cycle of soothing and punishing herself. There is so much that she has to keep hidden, especially from Jeremy as their professional relationship transforms into something more. But then, tragedy strikes, and the story changes track. As the perspective shifts, so too does our image of Jane and those in her orbit as what we think we know begins to unravel. Audacious, emotionally precise and head-spinning in its ingenuity, Swallow the Ghost interrogates our public identities and private realities through the kaleidoscopic portrait of one woman's life.

Title: Cecilia Author: K-Ming Chang Narrator: Sabrina Wu Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 53 minutes Release date: June 6, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. A surreal novella about the intensity and eroticism of girlhood friendships, the ecstasy of desire and disgust, matriarchal mythmaking and the haunting presence of crows. Seven, who works as a cleaner at a chiropractor’s office, reencounters Cecilia, a woman who has obsessed her since their school days. As the two of them board the same bus — each dubiously claiming not to be following the other — their chance meeting spurs a series of intensely vivid and corporeal memories. Smart, subversive and gripping, Cecilia is a winding, misty road trip through bodily transformation, inextricable histories of desire and violence, diaspora and obsessive love. ©2024 K-Ming Chang (P)2024 Penguin Audio K-Ming Chang Thu, 06 Jun 2024 12:30:50 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/733813 thebookvoice.com 3:53:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/733813]]> to listen full audiobooks.

His first book, In Patagonia, changed the face of travel writing and made him a literary sensation. Collected here are dramatisations and readings of some of his best-known work, as well as a bonus programme shedding light on his relationships and writing. In Patagonia – Chatwin’s picaresque masterpiece has been described as ‘probably the most influential travel book written since the war’. This transportive dramatisation stars Russell Tovey as a writer on a quest to the very end of the world in search of mythical beasts. On the Black Hill – Recorded on location in the Black Mountains, this is the moving tale of the lifelong bond between two identical twins, and their unbreakable tie to the land they farm. Ioan Meredith stars as Lewis and Benjamin Jones. What Am I Doing Here? – Patrick Malahide reads five essential pieces taken from Chatwin’s posthumous collection of essays. In 'The Volga', ‘Your Father’s Eyes Are Blue Again’, ‘The Bey’, ‘The Albatross’ and 'Konstantin Melnikov', we are taken on a cruise down Russia's great brown waterway on the Maxim Gorky, hear of hope regained, and share a toast to fantastic projects realised and unrealised. The Songlines – Michael Siberry reads this 10-part abridged account of Chatwin’s travels across Australia in search of the Aboriginal ‘songlines’: invisible pathways that are both intricate sources of personal identity and territorial markers. The Essay: Postcards: Bruce Chatwin – Chatwin’s editor and biographer Susannah Clapp looks through the postcards she received from him over the years, reflecting on what these missives reveal about the iconic writer.

Title: Alfred Lord Tennyson: In Memoriam, Idylls of the King, Maud & more: A BBC Radio Collection Author: Alfred Tennyson Narrator: Charles Tennyson, Hallam Tennyson, Mary Wimbush, Holliday Grainger, Ruth Padel, Rachel Bavidge, Full Cast, Peggy Ashcroft, Jonathan Keeble, Tim Pigott-Smith, Melvyn Bragg, Andrew Sachs, John Sir Gielgud Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 51 minutes Release date: March 14, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: A definitive collection of Tennyson’s finest works Alfred Lord Tennyson is one of Britain’s greatest and most popular poets. Even during his lifetime, he was considered a national institution: Queen Victoria appointed him Poet Laureate in 1850, a position he held for 42 years, and in 1884 he became the first writer to be granted a baronetcy. In a long and fruitful career, he penned numerous classic works, and this BBC Radio collection showcases some of the very best. We begin with two of his masterpieces, dramatised by award-winning poet Michael Symmons Roberts. The Idylls of the King is an extraordinary epic poem that infuses the legend of King Arthur with a passionate intensity. Told here in five acts, it stars Tim Pigott-Smith. Considered one of the finest elegies, In Memoriam was written in response to the sudden death of his friend Arthur Hallam. This drama weaves the peerless poem into the story behind it, and stars Holliday Grainger, James Cooney and Ashley Margolis. Crossing the Bar plunges us into Tennyson’s stirring sea-narratives, with sea-songs performed by a cappella trio Coope, Boyes and Simpson. It includes the poems ‘The Kraken’, ‘The Sea Fairies’, ‘Enoch Arden’, ‘The Voyage of Maeldune’ and ‘Crossing the Bar’ - read by John Dougall, Rachel Bavidge, Sam Dale, Jasmine Callan, Stuart McLoughlin and Joseph Kloska. In Maud, Tennyson’s dark, lyrical verses tell of a disturbed young man roaming the windswept hills, madly in love and haunted by loss. Dramatised for radio in 1969, Harold brings to life the story of England’s last Anglo-Saxon King, starring Gabriel Woolf. Next up are readings of Tennyson’s best-loved poems, including seven written in the language of his native Lincolnshire and introduced by his great-grandson Hallam Tennyson. ‘Aylmer’s Field’, his Victorian version of the Romeo and Juliet story, is read by Andrew Sachs; while Peggy Ashcroft reads his celebrated lyrical ballad ‘The Lady of Shalott’. ‘The Lotos-Eaters’, inspired by the tale of Odysseus and his mariners, is read by Sir John Gielgud. ‘The Northern Farmer’, ‘The Parson’s Daughter’, ‘The Church Warden and the Curate’, ‘Owd Roa,’ ‘The Village Wife’, ‘The Northern Cobbler’ and ‘The Spinster’s Sweet-Arts’ are read by Edward Campion and Mary Wimbush. Lastly, ‘The Charge of the Light Brigade’ is read by Alfred Badel, and ‘The Ode on the Death of the Duke of Wellington’, read by the poet's grandson Sir Charles Tennyson.

Title: Alfred Lord Tennyson: In Memoriam, Idylls of the King, Maud & more: A BBC Radio Collection Author: Alfred Tennyson Narrator: Charles Tennyson, Hallam Tennyson, Mary Wimbush, Holliday Grainger, Ruth Padel, Rachel Bavidge, Full Cast, Peggy Ashcroft, Jonathan Keeble, Tim Pigott-Smith, Melvyn Bragg, Andrew Sachs, John Sir Gielgud Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 51 minutes Release date: March 14, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: A definitive collection of Tennyson’s finest works Alfred Lord Tennyson is one of Britain’s greatest and most popular poets. Even during his lifetime, he was considered a national institution: Queen Victoria appointed him Poet Laureate in 1850, a position he held for 42 years, and in 1884 he became the first writer to be granted a baronetcy. In a long and fruitful career, he penned numerous classic works, and this BBC Radio collection showcases some of the very best. We begin with two of his masterpieces, dramatised by award-winning poet Michael Symmons Roberts. The Idylls of the King is an extraordinary epic poem that infuses the legend of King Arthur with a passionate intensity. Told here in five acts, it stars Tim Pigott-Smith. Considered one of the finest elegies, In Memoriam was written in response to the sudden death of his friend Arthur Hallam. This drama weaves the peerless poem into the story behind it, and stars Holliday Grainger, James Cooney and Ashley Margolis. Crossing the Bar plunges us into Tennyson’s stirring sea-narratives, with sea-songs performed by a cappella trio Coope, Boyes and Simpson. It includes the poems ‘The Kraken’, ‘The Sea Fairies’, ‘Enoch Arden’, ‘The Voyage of Maeldune’ and ‘Crossing the Bar’ - read by John Dougall, Rachel Bavidge, Sam Dale, Jasmine Callan, Stuart McLoughlin and Joseph Kloska. In Maud, Tennyson’s dark, lyrical verses tell of a disturbed young man roaming the windswept hills, madly in love and haunted by loss. Dramatised for radio in 1969, Harold brings to life the story of England’s last Anglo-Saxon King, starring Gabriel Woolf. Next up are readings of Tennyson’s best-loved poems, including seven written in the language of his native Lincolnshire and introduced by his great-grandson Hallam Tennyson. ‘Aylmer’s Field’, his Victorian version of the Romeo and Juliet story, is read by Andrew Sachs; while Peggy Ashcroft reads his celebrated lyrical ballad ‘The Lady of Shalott’. ‘The Lotos-Eaters’, inspired by the tale of Odysseus and his mariners, is read by Sir John Gielgud. ‘The Northern Farmer’, ‘The Parson’s Daughter’, ‘The Church Warden and the Curate’, ‘Owd Roa,’ ‘The Village Wife’, ‘The Northern Cobbler’ and ‘The Spinster’s Sweet-Arts’ are read by Edward Campion and Mary Wimbush. Lastly, ‘The Charge of the Light Brigade’ is read by Alfred Badel, and ‘The Ode on the Death of the Duke of Wellington’, read by the poet's grandson Sir Charles Tennyson.

Title: Fall of the Florios: A Novel Series: #3 of A Lions of Sicily Book Author: Stefania Auci Narrator: Hollis Mccarthy Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 54 minutes Release date: August 27, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: The epic saga behind the Disney-produced Hulu series The Lions of Sicily The magnificent third installment of the Florio story–a sweeping, decadent, and romantic finale that tells the story of Italy’s most powerful and notorious family as it faces its dramatic end. After triumph and brilliance, the Sicilian Lions enter their fall . . . Glory is fleeting, fate sometimes cruel. For more than sixty years, the Florios have reigned supreme, establishing the city of Palermo as a European beacon of commerce, and making Sicily one of Italy’s most powerful regions. But now fate has taken a turn. As social and economic pressures erode the stability of a young Italy, the Florios—despite their wealth and power—must watch as their iron grip over the South begins to weaken. Following in the steps of the father he idolized, Ignazzidu, now Don Ignazio, finds himself commanding the Florio family’s interests and enterprises. Negligent, impetuous, and headstrong, he is everything his industrious father was not. But while he struggles to live up to the family name, his charming and loyal wife Franca rises to the occasion. A gracious and formidable host, Franca’s hospitality becomes unmatched across Europe, informally crowned the “Queen of Palermo” as she holds court with an esteemed coterie of luminaries from the womanizing Puccini to the scandalous Boldini. Yet as the tides of fortune change– economic hardships, war, and human loss- their relationship will be put to the test and Franca will find that even a love as devoted as hers may falter. But the biggest threat to their survival is the death of an heir. In losing the flesh of his flesh, Ignazio—who succeeded his father without the strength or conviction to do so—will ultimately oversee the collapse of an empire built by his family’s ambition, cunning, and sweat. What kind of future will the Florios have now? Will anything remain of their greatness? Translated from the Italian by Katherine Gregor and Howard Curtis.

Title: To Sing of War Author: Catherine Mckinnon Narrator: Annabelle Tudor Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 53 minutes Release date: May 1, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: From the author of the Miles Franklin Award shortlisted Storyland, comes a rich, layered and thrilling novel of love, war and friendship, To Sing of War. Longlisted 2024 ARA Historical Novel Prize 'Transcends the boundaries of historical fiction' Books+Publishing DECEMBER 1944 In New Guinea, a young Australian nurse, Lotte Wyld, chances upon her first love, Virgil Nicholson, a soldier in the Allies' hard-fought jungle campaign. At Los Alamos in the United States, idealistic physicists Miriam Carver and Fred Johnson join Robert Oppenheimer and a team of brilliant scientists in a collective dream to build a weapon that will stop all war, while Kitty Oppenheimer wrestles with restrictions on her freedom. And on the sacred island of Miyajima in Japan, Hiroko Narushima is doing her best to protect her family. Each of these people yearns to belong, yet each fiercely protects their independence. Secrets, misunderstandings and fears burden them; shame shapes them; hope and imagination lift them up. They are caught in a moment of history, both enthralled and appalled by actions they must undertake. A beautiful, rich and intricately woven novel, To Sing of War asks how one person can make a difference in a world that is wondrous, thrilling and endangered. It insists on our interconnectedness, hums with the energy of the world and is a blazingly powerful and deeply moving account of friendship, love and war. 'Deeply intelligent and very affecting' The Saturday Paper 'In an exquisite, braided narrative, To Sing of War reanimates World War II in a paean to the environment.' Australian Book Review 'To Sing of War is one of the best things I've read this year, sweeping and yet intimate, ambitious, lyrical, propelled by memorable characters you don't want to let go of ... a fluid sense of time, a strong evocation of place and events. It's a novel of big themes, boldly told.' Caroline Baum 'An intricately woven novel, straddling war, love and friendship.' Sydney Morning Herald 'This is a book I didn't want to end. Its story, characters, settings and portrayal of war's insidious barbarity are utterly compelling.' Good Reading Bookclub 'I read very quickly, was totally immersed in it, and then I noticed there were moments of birdsong, of nature, and of music and war; this idea of singing war, which goes back both to Virgil and also to something else, she references Brecht at the beginning, but there is something that she is doing there that I found terribly moving.' Kate Evans, ABC Radio, The Bookshelf 'Catherine McKinnon's last novel, the Miles Franklin-shortlisted Storyland, is one of the more striking Australian novels of recent years ... Her new novel, To Sing of War, is no less ambitious. Interweaving the stories of half a dozen characters spread across the planet, it traces them to their convergence in the moment when the bomb fell on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945, wiping out tens of thousands of lives in a matter of seconds ... The real power of this deeply intelligent and very affecting novel flows from its awareness of what war does to those caught up in it.' James Bradley, The Saturday Paper 'War writing can sometimes be formulaic and cliched, but McKinnon seeks a grittier view of war's complexities. To Sing of War recognises the prevalence of sexual violence in wartime - something which is often overlooked in commemorations.'

Title: To Sing of War Author: Catherine Mckinnon Narrator: Annabelle Tudor Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 53 minutes Release date: May 1, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: From the author of the Miles Franklin Award shortlisted Storyland, comes a rich, layered and thrilling novel of love, war and friendship, To Sing of War. Longlisted 2024 ARA Historical Novel Prize 'Transcends the boundaries of historical fiction' Books+Publishing DECEMBER 1944 In New Guinea, a young Australian nurse, Lotte Wyld, chances upon her first love, Virgil Nicholson, a soldier in the Allies' hard-fought jungle campaign. At Los Alamos in the United States, idealistic physicists Miriam Carver and Fred Johnson join Robert Oppenheimer and a team of brilliant scientists in a collective dream to build a weapon that will stop all war, while Kitty Oppenheimer wrestles with restrictions on her freedom. And on the sacred island of Miyajima in Japan, Hiroko Narushima is doing her best to protect her family. Each of these people yearns to belong, yet each fiercely protects their independence. Secrets, misunderstandings and fears burden them; shame shapes them; hope and imagination lift them up. They are caught in a moment of history, both enthralled and appalled by actions they must undertake. A beautiful, rich and intricately woven novel, To Sing of War asks how one person can make a difference in a world that is wondrous, thrilling and endangered. It insists on our interconnectedness, hums with the energy of the world and is a blazingly powerful and deeply moving account of friendship, love and war. 'Deeply intelligent and very affecting' The Saturday Paper 'In an exquisite, braided narrative, To Sing of War reanimates World War II in a paean to the environment.' Australian Book Review 'To Sing of War is one of the best things I've read this year, sweeping and yet intimate, ambitious, lyrical, propelled by memorable characters you don't want to let go of ... a fluid sense of time, a strong evocation of place and events. It's a novel of big themes, boldly told.' Caroline Baum 'An intricately woven novel, straddling war, love and friendship.' Sydney Morning Herald 'This is a book I didn't want to end. Its story, characters, settings and portrayal of war's insidious barbarity are utterly compelling.'

Title: [German] - Wie weiter - Angela Krauß liest (ungekürzt) Author: Angela Krauß Narrator: Angela Krauß Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 6 minutes Release date: December 19, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Sonntagmorgen. In den Weiten des Dschungels vor dem Fenster erwachen die Zootiere. Auf dem Boden tappt ihr Kastanorka entgegen, ein Elefant, der in eine Schachtel passt. Der Schlafgefährte liegt in seinen Männerträumen. Das Leben, die Liebe, die Zukunft. Wie weiter? Früher war es immer von allein weitergegangen, als die Zukunft noch ein Märchen war, bevor sich die Geschichte im Revolutionsherbst 1989 überschlug. Lässt sich Zukunft berechnen? Kann man vorbereitet sein? Vielleicht weiß es Leo, dem damals, als es schon mal ganz falsch weitergegangen war, Amerika das Leben gerettet hat. Oder Toma, die tatarische Nomadin, die immer wieder nach Osten zieht? Oder der Mann an ihrer Seite, dem sie nur Ausschnitte ihrer Sehnsucht eröffnet, das wahre Ausmaß ihrer Erwartungen hält sie geheim. Seine Liebesmenschen soll man nie überfordern, wusste schon ihre Mutter, weshalb mehrere stets besser sind als ein einziger. Mit jedem von ihnen führt sie ein anderes Leben, eins von den vielen, die noch in ihr bereitliegen. Und so geht es auch an diesem Sonntag weiter. Das Leben, die Liebe, die große Geschichte - Angela Krauß zieht alles in den Zauber ihres neuen Prosakunststücks. Aus ihm leuchtet jene Ahnung von Glück, die das Weitermachen beflügelt.

Title: [German] - Im schönsten Fall - Angela Krauß liest (ungekürzt) Author: Angela Krauß Narrator: Angela Krauß Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 37 minutes Release date: December 19, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Heimlich arbeitet diese Frau wie jeder Mensch am Glück. 'Das Weltgebäude will errichtet werden! Man muß ja irgendwo wohnen.' Die Welt indes zeigt sich als die, die sie ist: als Erschütterte, von Datenmengen Überwucherte, Sich-Verlierende. Geräte, Weltgipfel, Stilettos und ein sagenhafter ungenutzter Raum im Hirn - die Frau hält allabendlich den Kopf ins Freie, um sich der Standfestigkeit des Ganzen zu vergewissern. Tagsüber gehen Erschütterungen durchs Haus. Karel arbeitet an der Überwindung der Materie durch Information. Unter den Absätzen der Nachbarin und der lose herumfliegenden Zukunft steigt der Druck. 'Jemand muß das zusammenhalten!' Irgendwo unter dem Gebirge aus hochaktuellen Zerfallserscheinungen ruht das Urmuster vollkommener Harmonie. Wie die Liebe in einer Zeit der Worst-case-Szenarien bewahrt werden kann, als allerschönster Fall, dem ist in diesem Hörbuch alles auf der Spur. Mit ihrer 'einzigartigen Melange aus Naivität der Empfindung und erzählerischer Raffinesse' (Wolfgang Emmerich) umfängt Angela Krauß die Unfaßbarkeit der Welt. Esprit, Zärtlichkeit, Ermutigung und große poetische Kraft fließen in einen warmen Beschwörungston. Beschworen wird nichts Geringeres als die Liebe, das Weltall, die Zukunft.

Title: [German] - Der Strom - Angela Krauß liest (ungekürzt) Author: Angela Krauß Narrator: Angela Krauß Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 58 minutes Release date: December 19, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Es ist Sommer. Die Dichterin hält Mittagstisch an ihrem Platz neben dem Klavier, ihr Mäzen spielt Tennis, siebzehn Flugstunden weit weg, der Besitzer des französischen Restaurants bedient sie stets selbst. Die Oliven sind schwarz, fest und scharf. Dieser lustvolle Weltbezug steht im Gegensatz zu einer Existenz der Askese, zu der niemand Zutritt hat. Beide Lebensplätze - Tisch und Klause - befinden sich im rückwärtigen Viertel, jenem Stadtviertel, von dem es vor dreißig Jahren hieß: Die Russen sind fort. So wie die Dichterin hier Erinnerungs- und Zukunftspartikel einsammelt, bis es zu einer plötzlichen Partikelverdichtung kommt, so abrupt durchfährt sie eines Nachts ein unbekannter Strom, als sollte sie unter hohem Druck aus ihrem Körper vertrieben werden. Es ist an der Zeit, ihre Siebensachen zu packen. In Angela Krauß' magischer Sprache entfaltet sich eine poetische Existenz, in der die Wirklichkeit vibriert - und der Traum ganz handfest erscheint.

Title: [Spanish] - Trilogía Author: Jon Fosse Narrator: Sara Gómez Alonso Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 6 minutes Release date: November 27, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 3 of Total 1 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Premio Nobel de Literatura 2023. Trilogía una de las obras maestras de Jon Fosse. Libro recomendado por los lectores para empezar a leer a Jon Fosse. 'Trilogía' es un libro hipnótico. Para Jon Fosse escribir es como rezar, y para el lector, leer Trilogía significa entrar en una profundidad desconocida. Con un lenguaje sencillo y un narrador único, Fosse nos cuenta la historia de una pareja de adolescentes que va a tener un hijo y que intenta sobrevivir sin nada en un mundo hostil. Con esta historia entendemos que significa no tener nada y la mirada despiadada de la sociedad, pero también revivimos de forma exquisita el primer amor, la experiencia de empezar la vida. Es una obra emocional que, desde la oscuridad de una situación extrema, nos ilumina. 'Fosse ha sido comparado con Ibsen o Beckett. Es fácil ver en su obra la austeridad con la que Ibsen trata las emociones más esenciales, pero va más allá, porque su voz tiene una feroz simplicidad poética'.

Title: [Spanish] - Generación Negroni. Antología en homenaje a David Gistau. Con prólogo de Arturo Pérez-Reverte y epílogo de Ángel Antonio Herrera. Con artículos de David Gistau. Author: Vv.Aa. Narrator: Empar Capilla, Miguel Coll Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 27 minutes Release date: November 30, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Los más destacados columnistas españoles homenajean a su amigo y compañero David Gistau, el más brillante de todos ellos. Relatos, reflexiones sobre la profesión periodística, recuerdos sobre el amigo ausente, humor, autoficción… en una antología tan diversa, desenfadada y sorprendente como el perfil de estos periodistas que quizá a partir de ahora conoceremos como Generación Negroni. Emilia Landaluce, Jorge Bustos, Karina Sainz Borgo, Sergio del Molino, Cristian Campos, José Ignacio Wert Moreno, David Mejía, Jesús Nieto Jurado, Rebeca Argudo, José F. Peláez, Juan Soto Ivars, Rubén Amón, Ramón Palomar, A. J. Ussía, Chapu Apaolaza, Guillermo Garabito, María José Solano, Jesús Fernández Úbeda, Jesús García Calero, David Lema. No hay un hilo específico que hermane a los escritores que están en este libro; ni siquiera los textos elegidos por ellos mismos para construirlo. Es el nombre Gistau, o su espíritu. Sólo eso. O es, tal vez, la franja de tiempo, el momento en que estos escritores y periodistas se desenvuelven, miran, escuchan, pelean. Lo asombroso de Generación Negroni es que da cabida a voces distintas, pero todas inteligentes, todas profundas, que tienen la humildad profesional de hermanarse bajo la sombra benéfica, la mirada entrañable de David Gistau. Por eso éste me parece un libro de extraordinario interés referencial. De sus textos se desprende una lucidez temprana y, como en los de Gistau, mucha base: amplia y bien digerida cultura. Todos los aquí firmantes son lectores, cada cual con sus gustos, sus querencias y sus derrotes; pero se les adivinan los libros bien leídos y el respeto por el lector en todo cuanto escriben. Y debo añadir algo que me parece fundamental: no he sido capaz de advertir en ellos sectarismo alguno, ni siquiera cuando defienden posiciones de las que podríamos llamar conservadoras o progresistas, pues de todo hay. En ninguno he visto intransigencia ni arrogancia; y el simple hecho de que acepten figurar juntos en el índice de un mismo libro, amparados por un simbólico negroni —esa bebida que David Gistau adoraba y que elevó a la categoría de mito—, dice mucho de ellos. De su humildad profesional, de su forma de entender el columnismo y el país donde viven y trabajan. De su talento. De su manera admirable de ser escritores españoles.

Lo asombroso de Generación Negroni es que da cabida a voces distintas, pero todas inteligentes, todas profundas, que tienen la humildad profesional de hermanarse bajo la sombra benéfica, la mirada entrañable de David Gistau. Por eso éste me parece un libro de extraordinario interés referencial. De sus textos se desprende una lucidez temprana y, como en los de Gistau, mucha base: amplia y bien digerida cultura. Todos los aquí firmantes son lectores, cada cual con sus gustos, sus querencias y sus derrotes; pero se les adivinan los libros bien leídos y el respeto por el lector en todo cuanto escriben. Y debo añadir algo que me parece fundamental: no he sido capaz de advertir en ellos sectarismo alguno, ni siquiera cuando defienden posiciones de las que podríamos llamar conservadoras o progresistas, pues de todo hay. En ninguno he visto intransigencia ni arrogancia; y el simple hecho de que acepten figurar juntos en el índice de un mismo libro, amparados por un simbólico negroni —esa bebida que David Gistau adoraba y que elevó a la categoría de mito—, dice mucho de ellos. De su humildad profesional, de su forma de entender el columnismo y el país donde viven y trabajan. De su talento. De su manera admirable de ser escritores españoles.

Title: Death at the Sign of the Rook Author: Kate Atkinson Narrator: Jason Isaacs Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 31 minutes Release date: September 24, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. THE #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER Welcome to Rook Hall. The stage is set. The players are ready. By night’s end, a murderer will be revealed. Ex-detective Jackson Brodie is staving off a bad case of midlife malaise when he is called to a sleepy Yorkshire town, and the seemingly tedious matter of a stolen painting. But one theft leads to another, including the disappearance of a valuable Turner from Burton Makepeace, home to Lady Milton and her family. Once a magnificent country house, Burton Makepeace has now partially been converted into a hotel, hosting Murder Mystery weekends. As paying guests, a vicar, an ex-army officer, impecunious aristocrats, and old friends converge, we are treated a fiendishly clever mystery; one that pays homage to the masters of the genre—from Agatha Christie to Dorothy Sayers. Brilliantly inventive, with all of Atkinson’s signature wit, wordplay and narrative brio, Death at the Sign of the Rook may be Jackson Brodie’s most outrageous and memorable case yet. 'How delicious to have Jackson Brodie back, this time in a story that starts off in Agatha Christie's world but soon becomes a landscape that could only have been crafted from the pen of the incomparable Kate Atkinson' Ian Rankin 'Christie would be proud . . . I defy you not to snort with laughter as the novel progresses to its farcical denouement. Atkinson is brilliant' Observer 'Sharp, droll and knowing as ever, Atkinson has huge fun with the set-up; the supporting cast is terrific, and the rueful Brodie, ever more mindful of the passing years, feels like an old friend.'

Title: Cuckoo Author: Nell Frizzell Narrator: Nell Frizzell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 14 minutes Release date: August 29, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. After Nancy’s father dies, she is faced with two life-changing revelations. One: She has a half-brother she knew nothing about. Nancy’s world is punched inside out at the discovery of a mysterious new sibling. But she can’t help but feel curious about Oliver, this stranger who shares her DNA. Her sister Rita, on the other hand, is furious and wants nothing to do with their ‘cuckoo’ brother. Two: She’s pregnant. The father – Nancy’s not-quite-boyfriend from her not-quite-relationship – doesn’t want to commit any time soon. He isn’t even in the same continent as her right now. And with her mother and sister in shock about Oliver, Nancy’s struggling to find someone to turn to for support. In a tumult of grief, fear and hope, Nancy pushes herself into an uncertain future as she rethinks what really makes a family.

Title: Dogs and Monsters Author: Mark Haddon Narrator: Steve John Shepherd, Christina Cole, Rachel Bavidge, Robert Bathurst Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 59 minutes Release date: August 29, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. 'There is nothing more terrifying than the monster that squats behind the door you dare not open...' From the bestselling author of The Porpoise come eight mesmerising stories exploring what, ultimately, makes us human. Mark Haddon weaves ancient fables into fresh and unexpected forms, and forges new legends to sit alongside them. The myth of the Minotaur in his labyrinth is turned into a wrenching parable of maternal love – and of the monstrosities of patriarchy. The lover of a goddess, Tithonus, is gifted eternal life but without eternal youth. Actaeon, changed into a stag after glimpsing the naked Diana and torn to pieces by his hunting dogs, becomes a visceral metaphor about how humans use and misuse animals. From genetic engineering to the eternal complications of family, Haddon showcases how we are subject to the same elemental forces that obsessed the Greeks. Whether describing Laika the Soviet space dog on her fateful orbit, or St Anthony wrestling with loneliness in the desert, his astonishing powers of observation are at their height when illuminating the thin line between human and animal.

But nothing is simple for Catalina, least of all her own complicated, contradictory, ruthlessly probing mind. Now a senior, she faces graduation to a world that has no place for the undocumented; her sense of doom intensifies her curiosities and desires. She infiltrates the school’s elite subcultures—internships and literary journals, posh parties and secret societies—which she observes with the eye of an anthropologist and an interloper’s skepticism: she is both fascinated and repulsed. Craving a great romance, Catalina finds herself drawn to a fellow student, an actual budding anthropologist eager to teach her about the Latin American world she was born into but never knew, even as her life back in Queens begins to unravel. And every day, the clock ticks closer to the abyss of life after graduation. Can she save her family? Can she save herself? What does it mean to be saved? Brash and daring, part campus novel, part hagiography, part pop song, Catalina is unlike any coming-of-age novel you’ve ever read—and Catalina, bright and tragic, circled by a nimbus of chaotic energy, driven by a wild heart, is a character you will never forget.

Title: The Art of Vanishing: A novel Author: Lynne Kutsukake Narrator: Emily Shelton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 2 minutes Release date: June 11, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: 'A fascinating glimpse into the intersection of art, class, and the complexity of adult friendship. . . . I couldn’t put this book down.” —Waubgeshig Rice, author of Moon of the Turning Leaves An intimate, explosive story of creativity and friendship between two young Japanese women in 1970s Tokyo. Akemi’s desire for independence and aversion to marriage are unusual in her small village. A gift for drawing allows her to move to a rooming house in Tokyo where she studies medical illustration, finding satisfaction in the precision and purpose of her work. Sayako is the first roommate to pay Akemi attention, and they quickly become inseparable—Sayako drawn to Akemi’s humble origins, so distinct from her own insufferable, wealthy family; Akemi attracted to Sayako’s rebelliousness and her aspiration to be a painter.     As Akemi begins to model for Sayako, their connection deepens. Together, they attend ‘happenings,' encounters arranged by two enigmatic artists, Nezu and Kaori, in random locations, intended to free them from their worldly attachments. Following a devastating betrayal, Sayako disappears, and Akemi becomes determined to find her—and in the process, must newly face herself.     Tender, enthralling, and evocative of the energy of Japan in the 1970s, The Art of Vanishing is the story of a young woman struggling to see and be seen; of authenticity and art; of the thin line between loyalty and obsession.

Title: [Spanish] - Zeitoun Author: Dave Eggers Narrator: Javier Lacroix Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 26 minutes Release date: January 4, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: En la línea de Qué es el qué, Zeitoun narra la trágica historia de Zeitoun y su familia mientras el huracán Katrina arrasaba Nueva Orleans. Abdulrahman Zeitoun fue uno de los héroes anónimos del Katrina. Durante los días que siguieron al paso del huracán, navegó por las calles inundadas de Nueva Orleans en una vieja canoa ayudando a sus vecinos. Una semana más tarde fue arrestado y acusado de pertenecer a Al Qaeda. Esta es la historia real de Zeitoun. Esta es la historia de Nueva Orleans. La crítica ha dicho... «Una denuncia de los errores gubernamentales y judiciales que ocurrieron al paso del Katrina, pero más allá de eso, una desgarradora historia sobre la familia, la fe y, al final, sobre la esperanza. [...] Haga lo que haga Eggers en el futuro su trabajo importa y la gente debería prestar atención.» Pasha Malla, The Toronto Globe and Mail «Zeitoun es una historia sobre los desastres políticos más reprobables de la administración Bush -la guerra contra el terrorismo y la respuesta al huracán Katrina- cuando chocan el uno contra el otro e impactan contra una familia.» Andrew O'Hehir, Salon «¿Qué te cabrea más? ¿La manera en que gestionaron las autoridades el huracán Katrina o el tratamiento que reciben los árabes desde el 11 septiembre de 2001? ¿No sabes por qué decidirte? Dave Eggers tiene el libro que estabas buscando [...] Zeitoun es una forma cálida, excitante y fresca de experimentar el huracán Katrina [...] Eggers narra una historia completamente nueva y tan exasperante que me hizo montar en cólera.» Dan Baum, San Francisco Chronicle Dave Eggers Thu, 04 Jan 2024 12:30:50 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/732016 thebookvoice.com 10:26:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/732016]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Instruments of Darkness: A Thriller Series: #21 of Charlie Parker Author: John Connolly Narrator: Jeff Harding Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 32 minutes Release date: May 7, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: From the international and instant New York Times bestselling author John Connolly, this heart-wrenching installment of the beloved and brilliant Charlie Parker series “will leave readers breathless and shaken” (Booklist). In Maine, Colleen Clark stands accused of the worst crime a mother can commit: the abduction and possible murder of her child. Everyone—ambitious politicians in an election season, hardened police, ordinary folk—has an opinion on the case, and most believe she is guilty. Defending Colleen is the lawyer Moxie Castin, and working alongside him is the private investigator Charlie Parker, who senses the tale has another twist, one involving a husband too eager to accept his wife’s guilt, a group of fascists arming for war, a disgraced psychic seeking redemption, and an old, twisted house deep in the Maine woods, a house that should never have been built. A house, and what dwells beneath.

Главное произведение Шпенглера «Запад на закате» (в традиционном переводе – «Закат Европы», также «Закат Западного мира») - одна из немногих книг, которые сохраняют стойкую способность вызывать неутихающие споры и глубокие размышления.

Шпенглер. В настоящую аудиокнигу включены первые две главы второго тома. Содержание: Глава 1. Первоначало и ландшафт Часть 1. Космическое и микрокосм Часть 2. Группа высших культур. Часть 3.

Title: [Russian] - Закат Европы. Том 2. Проблемы арабской культуры: Всемирно-исторические перспективы Author: освальд шпенглер Narrator: илья прудовский Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 12 minutes Release date: November 24, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Освальд Шпенглер [1880 — 1936] - немецкий философ, историк, один из основоположников современной философии культуры.

История, по Шпенглеру, есть калейдоскоп «органических» культурно-исторических типов, следующих по одной и той же схеме развития и гибели. Западная «фаустовская» культура стремится к бесконечности, одинаково выраженной в готическом соборе, музыке Баха, радио и банковском кредите. Сталкиваясь с технобюрократической цивилизацией, она неминуемо движется к своему закату. «Проблемы арабской культуры» – 3 глава второго тома «Заката Европы». В ней рассматривается «магическая» византийско-арабская культура, существо которой лежит в ощущении тайны или духовного начала внутри конкретного, вещественного бытия. Содержание: Глава 3. Проблемы арабской культуры Часть 1. Исторические псевдоморфозы Часть 2. Магическая душа. Часть 3.

Title: [Russian] - Мои странные мысли Author: орхан памук Narrator: александр городиский Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 19 hours 57 minutes Release date: November 23, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Орхан Памук — известный турецкий писатель, обладатель многочисленных национальных и международных премий, в числе которых Нобелевская премия по литературе за «поиск души своего меланхолического города». Новый роман Памука «Мои странные мысли», над которым он работал последние шесть лет, возможно, самый «стамбульский» из всех. Его действие охватывает более сорока лет — с 1969 по 2012 год. Главный герой Мевлют работает на улицах Стамбула, наблюдая, как улицы наполняются новыми людьми, город обретает и теряет новые и старые здания, из Анатолии приезжают на заработки бедняки. На его глазах совершаются перевороты, власти сменяют друг друга, а Мевлют все бродит по улицам, зимними вечерами задаваясь вопросом, что же отличает его от других людей, почему его посещают странные мысли обо всем на свете и кто же на самом деле его возлюбленная, которой он пишет письма последние три года. орхан памук Thu, 23 Nov 2023 12:30:50 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/731567 thebookvoice.com 19:57:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/731567]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Du warst mein ganzer Himmel. Die neue Dilogie von Spiegel-Bestseller-Autorin Kira Mohn. Ein schlechter Scherz.

Mehr noch: Sie kann keine Kinder bekommen. Dieser dumme Scherz ist also alles andere als witzig. Er ist grausam. Doch die junge Frau meint es ernst, sie ist völlig überzeugt, dass sie verwandt sind. Nach einer schockierenden Enthüllung beginnt so für Em eine Reise in die Vergangenheit. Und zu einem Mann, den sie seit zwanzig Jahren nicht mehr gesehen hat und dem immer noch ein Stück ihres Herzens gehört ... Ein einzigartiges Serien-Konzept: Band 1 erzählt die Liebesgeschichte von Victoria, der Tochter, Band 2 die von Emmeline, der Mutter. Zwei romantische Liebesromane, eine herzzerreißende Mutter-Tochter-Geschichte.

Title: [Spanish] - Great Divide, The Entre dos aguas (Spanish edition) Author: Cristina Henriquez Narrator: Jane Santos Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 56 minutes Release date: August 20, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: De la aclamada autora de El libro de los americanos desconocidos, llega la extraordinaria novela épica de Cristina Henríquez sobre la construcción del canal de Panamá: un hito histórico que partió en dos la historia del continente americano, así como las vidas de quienes lo hicieron posible. Dicen que la construcción del canal será la hazaña más grande en la historia de la ingeniería. Pero ¿quién va a construirlo? Para Francisco, un pescador lugareño que no tolera que las potencias extranjeras saqueen a pedazos su país, nada es más desagradable que la decisión de su hijo, Omar, de trabajar como excavador en la zona de perforación. Pero para Omar, cuya crianza fue tranquila y solitaria, este trabajo es la oportunidad de, por fin, encontrar una conexión. Ada Bunting, una audaz joven de dieciséis años proveniente de Barbados, llega a Panamá como polizonte junto con miles de antillanos en busca de trabajo. Sola y sin recursos, está decidida a encontrar una ocupación que le permita ganar suficiente dinero para la cirugía de su hermana enferma. Cuando ve que un joven —Omar— se desmaya después de una jornada agotadora, ella es la única que corre a su auxilio. John Oswald ha dedicado su vida a la investigación científica y se ha embarcado a Panamá con un solo propósito en mente: erradicar la malaria. Pero Marian, su esposa, ha enfermado, y al ver la valentía y compasión de Ada, la contrata para que cuide de Marian. Esta decisión, que resulta funesta, desencadena una conmovedora historia de ambición, lealtad y sacrificio. Con agudeza y empatía, The Great Divide explora las vidas que se entrecruzaron en la construcción del canal. Con rigor y maestría, Henríquez exalta las vidas de a activistas, pescadores, trabajadores, periodistas, vecinos, médicos y adivinos, los verdaderos protagonistas de este hito, pero que rara vez han sido reconocidos por la historia, aunque hayan forjado su curso.  An epic novel about the construction of the Panama Canal, casting light on the unsung people who lived, loved, and labored there, by Cristina Henríquez, acclaimed author of The Book of Unknown Americans It is said that the canal will be the greatest feat of engineering in history. But first, it must be built. For Francisco, a local fisherman who resents the foreign powers clamoring for a slice of his country, nothing is more upsetting than the decision of his son, Omar, to work as a digger in the excavation zone. But for Omar, whose upbringing was quiet and lonely, this job offers a chance to finally find a connection. Ada Bunting is a bold sixteen-year-old from Barbados who arrives in Panama as a stowaway alongside thousands of other West Indians seeking work. Alone and with no resources, she is determined to find a job that will earn enough money for her ailing sister’s surgery. When she sees a young man—Omar—who has collapsed after a grueling shift, she is the only one who rushes to his aid. John Oswald has dedicated his life to scientific research and has journeyed to Panama in single-minded pursuit of one goal: eliminating malaria. But now, his wife, Marian, has fallen ill herself, and when he witnesses Ada’s bravery and compassion, he hires her on the spot as a caregiver. This fateful decision sets in motion a sweeping tale of ambition, loyalty, and sacrifice.  Searing and empathetic,The Great Divide explores the intersecting lives of activists, fishmongers, laborers, journalists, neighbors, doctors, and soothsayers—those rarely acknowledged by history even as they carved out its course.

Lewis Madigan is young, gay, out of work, and getting antsy when he’s roped into providing end-of-life care for his insufferable homophobic neighbor, Chester Wheeler. Lewis doesn’t need the aggravation, just the money. The only requirements: run errands, be on call, and put up with a miserable old churl no one else in Buffalo can bear. After exchanging barbs, bickering, baiting, and pushing buttons, Chester hits Lewis with the big ask. Lewis can’t say no to a dying wish: drive Chester to Arizona in his rust bucket of a Winnebago to see his ex-wife for the first time in thirty-two years—for the last time. One week, two thousand miles. To Lewis, it becomes an illuminating journey into the life and secrets of a vulnerable man he’s finally beginning to understand. A neighbor, a stranger, and a surprising new friend whose closure on a conflicted past is also just beginning. So Long, Chester Wheeler is an uplifting novel about looking deeper into the heart and soul to form bonds with the last people we’d expect—only to discover that they’re the ones who need it most.

Title: An Unwanted Inheritance Author: Imogen Clark Narrator: Bronwen Price Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 32 minutes Release date: December 8, 2022 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: From million-copy bestselling author Imogen Clark comes a story of three siblings and a suitcase full of cash. Will the unexpected windfall tear them apart? When their father dies unexpectedly, siblings Max, Ellie and Nathan can’t even contemplate emptying his house—not least because he spent his last decade curating what feels like a museum to his polished public image. So it is Max’s wife, Caroline, who finds the suitcase under a bed… A suitcase stuffed full of an awful lot of cash. The source of the money is a mystery to them all, and each has a strong opinion about what to do with it.

The source of the money is a mystery to them all, and each has a strong opinion about what to do with it.

Title: [German] - Schweine Im Paradies Author: Roger Maxson Narrator: Zoran Ivan?i? Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 22 minutes Release date: November 18, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Schweine im Paradies ist Satire, politisch, literarisch und lustig. Es ist eine Übung in Meinungsfreiheit und gleichzeitig eine Kritik an der Religion in der Politik, insbesondere am amerikanischen Evangelikalismus.Als Blaise auf einem israelischen Bauernhof Lizzy, das "rote Kalb", zur Welt bringt, strömen die Massen in Scharen herbei, um der Wundergeburt beizuwohnen, die das Ende der Welt und die Rückkehr oder Ankunft des Messias einläuten wird, je nachdem, ob es sich um Christen oder Juden handelt. Wenn die Verheißung des Endes zu Ende geht und das rote Kalb verunstaltet und des Aderlasses nicht mehr würdig ist, sind die Gläubigen auf der ganzen Welt niedergeschlagen. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt sind zwei evangelikale Geistliche als Vertreter einer Megakirche in Amerika angekommen. Sie schließen einen Deal mit dem israelischen Moschawnik ab, und die israelischen Nutztiere kommen nach Amerika. Währenddessen erteilt Papst Wohlwollend den Juden die Absolution, singt Karaoke mit Rabbi Ratzinger und Boris, ein Berkshire-Eber und tierischer Messias, wird als Hauptgericht beim letzten Abendmahl serviert. Die protestantischen Geistlichen lassen sich nicht lumpen und veranstalten ein Krippenspiel. Kurz bevor die Tiere an Bord des Schiffes nach Amerika gehen, erhebt sich Mel, das Maultier, und wird zum Papst Magnificant, der mit weißem Leinenmantel, Brustkreuz und päpstlichen roten Lederschuhen glänzt. In Amerika angekommen, werden die Tiere durch das halbe Land nach Wichita, Kansas, transportiert, wo sie rechtzeitig zur Passionsspiel-Parade ankommen, bevor sie ihr endgültiges Ziel, eine christliche Farm, erreichen. Sieben Fernsehbildschirme, auf denen rund um die Uhr Kirchenpredigten laufen, werden mit Szenen aus einer Scheune, einem echten Zirkus, konfrontiert. Nach einer Weile, als sie es nicht mehr aushalten, jagen sie Mel aus der Scheune. Und Stanley, Manly Stanley, der schwarze belgische Hengst der Legende (wink, wink), schaltet die TV-Monitore für einen Moment der Stille aus und gibt dem Frieden eine Chance, wenn auch nur für kurze Zeit.

Title: [Russian] - Дом тишины Author: орхан памук Narrator: владимир голицын Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 56 minutes Release date: October 31, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Действие почти всех романов Орхана Памука происходит в Стамбуле, городе загадочном и прекрасном, пережившем высочайший расцвет и печальные сумерки упадка. Подобная двойственность часто находит свое отражение в характерах и судьбах героев, неспособных избавиться от прошлого, которое продолжает оказывать влияние на их мысли и поступки. Таковы герои второго романа Памука «Дом тишины», одного из самых трогательных и печальных произведений автора, по мастерству и эмоциональной силе напоминающего «Сто лет одиночества» Маркеса и «Детей Полуночи» Рушди. Перед читателем неспешно разворачивается история одной семьи, рассказанная от лица различных ее представителей, каждый из которых заключен в свой собственный дом тишины, наполненный невысказанными мечтами и тревожными размышлениями о прошлом. орхан памук Tue, 31 Oct 2023 12:30:50 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/730244 thebookvoice.com 12:56:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/730244]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Russian] - Человек, который хотел быть счастливым Author: лоран гунель Narrator: сергей горбунов Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 25 minutes Release date: November 1, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Каждый человек мечтает обрести счастье. Но порой эта мечта так никогда и не воплощается в жизнь. Нам постоянно мешают какие-то внешние обстоятельства, на первый взгляд непреодолимые. Юлиан, герой романа Гунеля молод, здоров, хорош собой и… отчаянно недоволен своей жизнью, хотя объективно ему ничто не мешает быть счастливым. Оказавшись на Бали, он попадает в затерянную среди тропических лесов деревеньку, где знакомится со стариком-целителем по имени Сантьянг. О нем на острове ходят легенды. Мудрый старец врачует не тело, а душу человека. И ему ведома истина, способная изменить весь мир вокруг нас: то, во что мы верим, становится нашей реальностью и определяет нашу жизнь. Во время осмотра старик легонько сжимает пальцами мизинец на левой ноге пациента, и тот корчится от боли. Целитель ставит диагноз: «Вы очень несчастны, именно поэтому вам так больно». Откроется ли Юлиану рецепт счастья? Книга французского писателя Лорана Гунеля стала всемирным бестселлером и была переведена на двадцать пять языков.

Title: The Modern Fairies: A Novel Author: Clare Pollard Narrator: Kathryn Drysdale Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 56 minutes Release date: July 23, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: A BookPage Best Historical Fiction Book of the Year • “Artfully composed…keenly alive…this memorable novel reminds the reader of the enduring power of storytelling to transform and even save lives.” —The New York Times Lauren Groff’s Matrix meets Ophelia Field’s The Favourite in this wry and “bawdy” (Los Angeles Times) historical novel—inspired by true events—featuring an elite group of Paris intellectuals who perform fairy tales that put both the storytellers and their closely kept secrets in grave danger. Why don’t they tell you it is the beautiful princess who becomes the evil queen; that they are just the same person at different points in their story? At a safe distance from the intrigues of courtly life at Louis XIV’s Versailles, an intellectual crowd of mostly women have been gathering in a Parisian home to share what hostess Marie D’Aulnoy herself has christened contes de fées: fairy tales. Recently ousted from court and still raw from the death of his beloved wife, Charles Perrault finds companionship and creative camaraderie at the salon, where he eagerly joins the storytellers. Their hostess is impressive, fiercely intelligent, but somehow unreadable. She is harboring secrets of her own: sold off as a child in marriage to a brutal baron, imprisonment, scandal. Despite the vicious Versailles gossip, Marie has mysteriously been allowed to return to polite society and establish her salon in the heart of Paris. A devastating winter soon sweeps in, bringing with it all kinds of rumors and fears. A spate of poisonings at Versailles has led to several arrests, and no matter how high born the suspect, it seems no one is safe. Paranoia stokes the King’s insecurities, and there is a wolf among the salon’s members—someone more dangerous than any force they could conjure in their own tales, watching and waiting, reporting on the secret goings-on, and threatening to destroy them one by one. “Clever and glittering” (Kirkus Reviews), witty and wise, Modern Fairies is a dazzling novel of stories within stories, familiar tales spun with fresh and provocative meaning, perfect for fans of Jenny Offill, Italo Calvino, and Angela Carter.

Title: The Modern Fairies: A Novel Author: Clare Pollard Narrator: Kathryn Drysdale Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 56 minutes Release date: July 23, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: A BookPage Best Historical Fiction Book of the Year • “Artfully composed…keenly alive…this memorable novel reminds the reader of the enduring power of storytelling to transform and even save lives.” —The New York Times Lauren Groff’s Matrix meets Ophelia Field’s The Favourite in this wry and “bawdy” (Los Angeles Times) historical novel—inspired by true events—featuring an elite group of Paris intellectuals who perform fairy tales that put both the storytellers and their closely kept secrets in grave danger. Why don’t they tell you it is the beautiful princess who becomes the evil queen; that they are just the same person at different points in their story? At a safe distance from the intrigues of courtly life at Louis XIV’s Versailles, an intellectual crowd of mostly women have been gathering in a Parisian home to share what hostess Marie D’Aulnoy herself has christened contes de fées: fairy tales. Recently ousted from court and still raw from the death of his beloved wife, Charles Perrault finds companionship and creative camaraderie at the salon, where he eagerly joins the storytellers. Their hostess is impressive, fiercely intelligent, but somehow unreadable. She is harboring secrets of her own: sold off as a child in marriage to a brutal baron, imprisonment, scandal. Despite the vicious Versailles gossip, Marie has mysteriously been allowed to return to polite society and establish her salon in the heart of Paris. A devastating winter soon sweeps in, bringing with it all kinds of rumors and fears.

Title: Tell It To Me Singing: A Novel Author: Tita Ramirez Narrator: Frankie Corzo, Yareli Arizmendi Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 20 minutes Release date: July 9, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: An “utterly unforgettable” (Kevin Wilson, New York Times bestselling author of Nothing to See Here) debut novel about a Cuban American family sent into a tailspin when the ailing matriarch confesses the first of several shocking secrets to her daughter. Mónica Campo is pregnant with her first child when, moments before being wheeled into emergency heart surgery, her mother confesses a long-held secret: Mónica’s father is not the man who raised her. But when her mother wakes up and begins having delusional episodes, Mónica doesn’t know what to believe—whether the confession was real or just a channeling of the telenovela her mother watches nightly. In her despair, Mónica wants to speak with only one person: her ex-boyfriend of five years, Manny. She can’t help but worry, though, what this says about her relationship with her fiancé and father of her unborn child. Mónica’s search for the truth leads her to a new understanding of the past—the early ’80s, when her parents arrived from Cuba on the famous Mariel boatlift, and the tumultuous ’70s, a decade after Castro’s takeover, when some people were still secretly fighting his regime—people like her mother and the man she claims is Mónica’s real father. Tell It to Me Singing is “so fantastic and funny, so full of life, and so full of genuine heart that, like your favorite binge-worthy show, you'll have trouble pulling yourself away” (Cristina Henríquez, author of The Great Divide). This “rich portrait” (Kirkus Reviews) of a family takes readers from Miami to Cuba to the jungles of Costa Rica and, along the way, explores the question of how and to whom we belong, how a life is built, and how we know we’re home.

Title: Only Stars Know the Meaning of Space: A Literary Mixtape Author: Rémy Ngamije Narrator: Anthony Oseyemi, Aaron Goodson, Dennis Kleinman, Janina Edwards Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 19 minutes Release date: December 3, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: A vibrant and brilliant new collection of award-winning short fiction from the acclaimed author of the “charming, witty, and incredibly humane” (The Pittsburgh Gazette) debut The Eternal Audience of One. Presented as a literary mixtape, Only Stars Know the Meaning of Space is a work of literature that provides you with a modern reading experience. The A-Side, read as one narrative, tells the story of a soon-to-be thirty-year-old aspiring writer navigating a complicated world. The B-Side, taken as a separate experience, features (seemingly) independent and unrelated short stories. There’s “Crunchy, Green Apples (or, Omo)”, a story about loss told by the strangest of narrative devices: a shopping list. “Sofa, So Good, Sort Of (or, John Muafangejo)” is a first-person account of a family’s history and a long journey towards hope. A group of friends attempts to navigate a recent breakup in “From the Lost City of Hurtlantis to the Streets of Helldorado (or, Franco).” When read together, however, a third world emerges—a complex, intergenerational, and interconnected world exploring the universal gaping void of grief. Rather than attempting to cross this black hole directly, the collection carefully traces around its edges, revealing the enormity of this cosmic force from the “electrifying voice you have been waiting for” (Maaza Mengiste, author of The Shadow King).

Title: Pink Slime: A Novel Author: Fernanda Trías Narrator: Frankie Corzo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 25 minutes Release date: July 2, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Longlisted for the 2024 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD for Translated Literature • “Evocative, dreamlike, and immersive…The disconcerting familiarity of this strange, windswept world will haunt you.” —Esquire A harrowing, intimate novel about a woman and the people who depend on her as the world around them teeters on the edge—marking an award-winning Latin American author’s US debut. In a city ravaged by a mysterious plague, a woman tries to understand why her world is falling apart. An algae bloom has poisoned the previously pristine air that blows in from the sea. Inland, a secretive corporation churns out the only food anyone can afford—a revolting pink paste, made of an unknown substance. In the short, desperate breaks between deadly windstorms, our narrator stubbornly tends to her few remaining relationships: with her difficult but vulnerable mother; with the ex-husband for whom she still harbors feelings; with the boy she nannies, whose parents sent him away even as terrible threats loomed. Yet as conditions outside deteriorate further, her commitment to remaining in place only grows—even if staying means being left behind. An evocative elegy for a safe, clean world, Pink Slime is buoyed by humor and its narrator’s resiliency. This vivid and unforgettable novel explores the place where love, responsibility, and self-preservation converge.

Title: [Spanish] - El mundo que vimos arder Author: Renato Cisneros Narrator: Johan Gamarra Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 40 minutes Release date: December 7, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: 'Es aberrante el modo en que uno se acostumbra a coexistir con la degradación: la ves a diario, te parece normal, a veces incluso la justificas. La guerra hace que lo repugnante se vuelva adecuado, ¿hay algo más inhumano que eso?'. Luego de separarse de su esposa, un periodista peruano regresa a España dispuesto a rehacer su vida. Varias décadas antes, otro peruano, Matías Giurato Roeder, se encuentra en una situación similar: abandona su país para irse a Estados Unidos y experimenta los rigores de la migración y el horror de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. La experiencia civil y la aventura épica se complementan así en esta vibrante novela en cuya trama restallan los perturbadores efectos del amor, la locura, la política y la guerra. Dotada de una prosa trepidante que traslada al lector al vértigo y la crudeza de un campo de batalla, El mundo que vimos arder constituye tanto un registro bélico impactante como una reflexión sobre la identidad y el desarraigo en un tiempo en el que todo parece estar a punto de estallar o desaparecer.

Title: [Spanish] - Por qué te vas Author: Iván Hochman Narrator: Iván Hochman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 22 minutes Release date: December 14, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Milo vive con sus padres y su hermana, pero se quiere independizar. Condensando las ansias de toda una generación, Iván Hochman construye un relato tierno, honesto y con un agudo sentido del humor en torno a la decisión de mudarse solo. «El tiempo es un pelotazo en la nariz. Las galletas se me empastan al paladar. Trago té con miel, misericordioso dios de mi cena insignificante. Migas y sorbitos, la soledad». Milo vive con sus padres y su hermana, pero se quiere independizar. Mientras recorre la ciudad en bicicleta, visita departamentos en alquiler y se cruza con personajes desopilantes, alguien le va dejando, como pistas que no llevan a ningún lado, notas en las que se repite una pregunta: '¿Por qué te vas?'. Condensando las ansias de toda una generación, Iván Hochman construye un relato con reminiscencias salingerianas, tierno, honesto y con un agudo sentido del humor en torno a la decisión de irse a vivir solo. Por qué te vas es una obra polifónica donde los testimonios de amigos que dieron el salto, las listas de pendientes y ciertos objetos queridos cuentan una historia e iluminan un futuro. La crítica dijo: «Una novela como una bici: movediza, portátil y capaz de hacerte viajar a la más personal y preciosa tracción a sangre. Con pluma descarada y disfrutable, Iván Hochman consigue en Por qué te vas un libro tan vital y tan fresco como el aire ese cuando te da en la cara». Mauricio Kartun «Por qué te vas no es la forma más fácil de salir de la casa de los padres, pero es la más divertida, emocionante, e Iván Hochman la escribe de forma brillante». Cynthia Rimsky «Como en un vodevil moderno, Por qué te vas abre puertas para mostrar una historia que insiste con pretendida inocencia en la pregunta y descubre nuevos sentidos, nuevas maneras de mirar el mundo después de la infancia». Julián López «Esta es una novela dulce y fragmentaria, escrita no solo con las historias de la primera juventud sino también con su ritmo. Esa sintonía, en una primera novela, es para prestar atención».

Por qué te vas es una obra polifónica donde los testimonios de amigos que dieron el salto, las listas de pendientes y ciertos objetos queridos cuentan una historia e iluminan un futuro. La crítica dijo: «Una novela como una bici: movediza, portátil y capaz de hacerte viajar a la más personal y preciosa tracción a sangre. Con pluma descarada y disfrutable, Iván Hochman consigue en Por qué te vas un libro tan vital y tan fresco como el aire ese cuando te da en la cara». Mauricio Kartun «Por qué te vas no es la forma más fácil de salir de la casa de los padres, pero es la más divertida, emocionante, e Iván Hochman la escribe de forma brillante». Cynthia Rimsky «Como en un vodevil moderno, Por qué te vas abre puertas para mostrar una historia que insiste con pretendida inocencia en la pregunta y descubre nuevos sentidos, nuevas maneras de mirar el mundo después de la infancia». Julián López «Esta es una novela dulce y fragmentaria, escrita no solo con las historias de la primera juventud sino también con su ritmo. Esa sintonía, en una primera novela, es para prestar atención».

Title: [Spanish] - El último día de Terranova Author: Manuel Rivas Narrator: Tito Asorey Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 0 minutes Release date: November 30, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: UNO DE LOS 100 MEJORES LIBROS DEL AÑO SEGÚN THE NEW YORK TIMES QUERRÁS ENTRAR EN TERRANOVA: La historia de una librería donde confluyen historias de amores, libros prohibidos, náufragos de la vida y la memoria oculta de nuestra historia reciente. Una novela de Manuel Rivas, Premio Nacional de las Letras Españolas 2024. Hay lugares que nunca deberían desaparecer. «Estoy de pie frente al mar y tengo miedo a girarme y que todo desaparezca para siempre. Que cuando me vuelva, solo encuentre un inmenso vacío partido por la Línea del Horizonte, una línea fósil, sin recuerdos que se muevan en ella como ahora lo hace Garúa en bicicleta con su lote de libros en las alforjas.» La vida de Vicenzo Fontana está a punto de entrar en Liquidación Final cuando su librería se ve asediada por la codicia implacable de los especuladores inmobiliarios. Es el año 2014 y Terranova corre peligro de desaparecer tras más de sesenta años de resistencia ante los temporales más duros de la historia. Décadas en las que, dirigida primero por sus padres -Amaro y Comba- y por su tío Eliseo, y luego por él, fue siempre refugio para disidentes, perseguidos, libros prohibidos y contrabandistas de cultura. Un territorio de la memoria con una geografía propia, un sitio donde el exilio nunca ocurrió. Aunque Terranova fue su hogar, Vicenzo, que arrastra en la vejez las secuelas de una enfermedad infantil, se rebela en su juventud contra los libros. Alejado del ambiente familiar, conoce en Madrid a Garúa, una enigmática chica argentina con la que regresa a Terranova a finales de 1975. En entonces cuando aprende de los libros todo lo importante, aquello que su familia siempre supo: cómo fingen, cómo ayudan, cómo enseñan a amar, cómo acompañan y cómo salvan. El último día de Terranova es el relato de una lucha silenciosa contra la barbarie. Con la sensibilidad y el dominio del lenguaje que caracterizan su narrativa, Manuel Rivas construye una emocionante historia protagonizada por seres al tiempo valerosos y vulnerables, cuya vida es la suma de todo lo que cuentan, lo que imaginan y lo que jamás llegan a decir. ** Elegida premio a la mejor novela en la Primera Gala del Libro Gallego, organizada por las asociaciones de Escritores, de Libreros y de Editores de Galicia. Reseñas: «La librería alcanza la dimensión de isla metafórica de la libertad y adquiere casi vida propia... Toda la novela vibra de entusiasmo libresco.» El Cultural de El Mundo «Léanlo, no se lo pierdan. No sólo trata de una librería que quieren cerrar. Es una metáfora de la vida que quieren cerrar.» Juan Cruz, El País «Manuel Rivas es un narrador importante porque es sensible y tiene un oído increíble que, en su ficción, está aliado con una gran integridad.» John Berger «Un bello texto lleno de poesía que habla de los sentimientos, el verdadero argumento de la literatura y el arte desde sus primeros tiempos, pero que últimamente no parece estar de moda.» Julio Llamazares, El País «Manuel Rivas escribe como habla, con una cierta lujuria descriptiva y un gusto por la retórica que te clava en la silla como si estuvieras encadenado.» Josep Lambies, Time Out Barcelona Manuel Rivas Thu, 30 Nov 2023 12:30:50 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/730133 thebookvoice.com 7:0:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/730133]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Madness comes circling around. Ten-year cycles, as true as the sun will rise…’ Some things can send a heart spinning; others will crack it in two. In a small town in rural Ireland, the local people have weathered the storms of economic collapse and are looking towards the future. The jobs are back, the dramas of the past seemingly lulled, and although the town bears the marks of its history, new stories are unfolding. But a fresh menace is creeping around the lakeshore and the lanes of the town, and the peace of the community is about to be shattered in an unimaginable way. Young people are being drawn towards the promise of fast money whilst the generation above them tries to push back the tide of an enemy no one can touch… A stunning, lyrical novel told in twenty-one voices, Heart, be at Peace can be read independently, or as a companion to Donal Ryan’s multi-award-winning novel, The Spinning Heart, voted ‘The Irish Book of the Decade’.

Title: Mina's Matchbox Author: Yoko Ogawa Narrator: Nanako Mizhushima Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 36 minutes Release date: August 15, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. On sleepless nights, I open the matchbox and reread the story of the girl who gathered shooting stars. After the death of her father, twelve-year-old Tomoko is sent to live for a year with her uncle in the coastal town of Ashiya. It is a year which will change her life. The 1970s are bringing changes to Japan and her uncle's magnificent colonial mansion opens up a new and unfamiliar world for Tomoko; its sprawling gardens are even home to a pygmy hippo the family keeps as a pet. Tomoko finds her relatives equally exotic and beguiling and her growing friendship with her cousin Mina draws her into an intoxicating world full of secret crushes and elaborate storytelling. Rich with the magic and mystery of youth, Mina’s Matchbox is an evocative snapshot of a moment frozen in time, and a striking depiction of a family on the edge of collapse. Praise for Mina's Matchbox 'I read Mina’s Matchbox like a besotted child, enraptured, never wanting it to end.'

Title: A Little Trickerie Author: Rosanna Pike Narrator: Laura Aikman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 49 minutes Release date: August 1, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Listen. My one-time friend Maria did tell me once: 'Make your own paradise, Tibb, since this world is no sweet place for people like us.' Born a vagabond, Tibb Ingleby has never had a roof of her own. But her mother has taught her that if you're not too bound by the Big Man's rules, there are many ways a woman can find shelter in this world. Now her ma is dead in a trick gone wrong and young Tibb is orphaned and alone. As she wends her way across the fields and forests of medieval England, Tibb will discover there are people who will care for her, as well as those who mean her harm. And there are a great many others who are prepared to believe just about anything. And so, when the opportunity presents itself to escape the shackles society has placed on them, Tibb and her new friends conjure an audacious plan: her greatest trickerie yet. But before they know it, their hoax takes on a life of its own, drawing crowds - and vengeful enemies - to their door... A Little Trickerie is blazingly original, disarmingly funny and deeply moving. Portraying a side of Tudor England rarely seen, it's a tale of belief and superstition, kinship and courage, with a ragtag cast of characters and an unforgettable and distinctly unangelic heroine. 'Crisp, transportive, uplifting. The fresh, irreverent voice of Tibb Ingleby is sheer brilliance. I loved it!'

Title: The Modern Fairies Author: Clare Pollard Narrator: Kathryn Drysdale Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 57 minutes Release date: June 13, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Why don't they tell you it is the beautiful princess who becomes the evil queen; that they are just the same person at different points in their story? Versailles, 1682: a city of the rich, a living fairy-tale, Louis XIV's fever dream. It's a place of opulence, beauty, and power. But strip back the lavish exterior of polite society, and you'll find a dark undercurrent of sexual intrigue and vicious gossip. Nobody is safe here - no matter how highly born they are. No one knows this better than Madame Marie d'Aulnoy. Each week, a rogue group of intellectuals gather at her Parisian home to debate, flirt and perform Contes de Fées - fairy tales - that challenge the status quo, at a salon that will change the course of literature forever. But while they weave tales of glass slippers, enchanted beasts and long-haired princesses, a wolf is lurking, who threatens to destroy the members of the salon one by one. Brilliant and bawdy, romantic and provocative, The Modern Fairies is a dazzling novel inspired by real events, about the delights and dangers of storytelling in dark times. 'Elegant and decadent, vulgar and clever, enchanting and dark.

Здесь нет миллионов людей, злобных кредиторов и… бывшего мужа с его очередной пассией. Зато есть возможность начать новую жизнь — пусть и официанткой в небольшом кафе. А еще в это кафе любит заглядывать потомок местных аристократов и по совместительству — шеф детективного агентства Феликс Черкасов. Вот только он не единственный, кому приглянулась симпатичная девушка: таинственный гость приходит к ней ночами, пугает и заставляет дрожать от страха. А утром исчезает, будто его и не было. Правда ли, что поселившееся в съемной квартире Златы зло материально, или это лишь игра ее воображения?

In the authoritative Oxford list of the 'One Hundred Major Books of the Century,' overtaking Proust's 'In Search of Lost Time,' 'The Great Gatsby' took second place, behind only Joyce's 'Ulysses.' Jazz is the key word that can be used to 'discover' the essence and meaning of the novel. America, the 20s of the XX century - the time of 'prohibition' and gangster 'showdowns', a time of enchanting holidays organized by the 'new Americans' against the backdrop of general poverty. It was with this novel that Fitzgerald 'created' a generation that would later be called 'lost.' F.

Title: [Russian] - Маленькие женщины Author: луиза мэй олкотт Narrator: яна медведева Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 2 minutes Release date: November 1, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: «Маленькие женщины» Луизы Мэй Олкотт – это роман, на котором воспитывалось не одно поколение читателей по всему миру. Впервые опубликованное в 1868 году в США, это произведение было переведено более чем на 50 языков и положено в основу шести фильмов, четырех телесериалов, нескольких опер и спектаклей. История семейства Марч, в котором подрастают четыре дружные, но непохожие друг на друга сестры, заключает в себе узнаваемые перипетии юности, взросления, дружбы и любви. Российским читателям «Маленькие женщины» известны по переложению романа для среднего школьного возраста, которое, однако, не отражает всех художественных достоинств текста. В настоящем издании впервые публикуется новый перевод Ирины Бессмертной с чутким соблюдением той языковой манеры, которая была присуща самому автору книги. Нарочитая неправильность речи ряда персонажей, характерные для той эпохи жаргонизмы, а также придуманные героинями и используемые в домашнем обиходе слова придают тексту аромат XIX века. Такой изобретательный подход к переводу романа весьма расширяет его аудиторию и способен заинтересовать как юных, так и взрослых читателей. луиза мэй олкотт Wed, 01 Nov 2023 12:30:50 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/729518 thebookvoice.com 13:2:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/729518]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Henry and Clara Author: Thomas Mallon Narrator: Mia Barron Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 4 minutes Release date: February 20, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: On the evening of Good Friday, 1865, Henry Rathbone and Clara Harris joined the Lincolns in the presidential box at Ford’s Theater, becoming eyewitnesses to one of the great tragedies of American history. In this riveting novel, Thomas Mallon re-creates the unusual love story of this young engaged couple whose fateful encounter with history profoundly affects the remainder of their lives. Lincoln’s assassination is only one part of the remarkable life they share, a dramatic tale of passion, scandal, heroism, murder, and madness, all based on Mallon’s deep research into the fascinating history of the Rathbone and Harris families. Henry and Clara not only tells the astonishing story of its title figures; it also illuminates the culture of nineteenth-century Victorian America: a rigid society barely concealing the suppressed impulses and undercurrents that only grew stronger as the century progressed.

Title: Clickbait: A Novel Author: Holly Baxter Narrator: Brittany Pressley Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 33 minutes Release date: August 13, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: With the dark comedy and sharp observations of Monica Heisey and Dolly Alderton, a whip-smart and laugh-out-loud funny debut novel about a disgraced, newly divorced journalist demoted to a “clickbait” job at a Manhattan tabloid. The first thing they tell you when you begin your training is never to become the news.  Natasha has screwed up royally. Her mistake isn’t just embarrassing, it's a breach of journalistic ethics that makes headlines and costs her a plum job reporting from London. Back in New York at thirty-five and single, divorced from a kind man she loved, she finds herself at the bottom of the media food chain—a junior reporter at a clickbait factory, rewriting sensational tabloid stories to make them just different enough to avoid lawsuits.  As if her professional fall from grace weren’t bad enough, she’s taken the money she’d saved for a down payment for a home on a charming Brooklyn block with her husband, and rashly bought a boxy apartment overlooking the gray ocean in Rockaway Beach, Queens.  Though seeing friends and family only serves to remind her of what she’s lost, things begin to pick up when her ex-boyfriend Zach moves back to New York and accepts her offer of a spare bedroom. The arrangement is strictly platonic, of course—for him. But Natasha can't help but wonder whether he might be the solution to all her problems.  As Natasha's obsession with Zach grows and her involvement in increasingly dystopian ''churnalism'' deepens, her worlds threaten to collide in the most cataclysmic, extremely public way.

Title: Our Narrow Hiding Places: A Novel Author: Kristopher Jansma Narrator: Edoardo Ballerini Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 19 minutes Release date: August 13, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 2 of Total 1 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: An elderly woman recounts her Dutch family’s survival during the final years of Nazi occupation, shedding new light on old secrets that rippled through subsequent generations.  Eighty-year-old Mieke Geborn’s life is one of quiet routine. Widowed for many years, she enjoys the view from her home on the New Jersey shore, visits with friends, and tai chi at the local retirement community. But when her beloved grandson, Will, and his wife, Teru, show up for a visit, things are soon upended. Their marriage is threatening to unravel, and Will has questions for his grandmother—questions about family secrets that have been lost for decades and are now finally rising to the surface. But telling Will the truth involves returning to the past, and to Mieke’s childhood in coastal Holland. There, in the last years of World War II, she survived the Hunger Winter, a brutal season when food and heat were cut off and thousands of Dutch citizens starved. Her memories weave together childhood magic and the madness of history, and carry readers from the windy beaches of the Hague to the dark cells of a concentration camp, through the bends of eel-filled rivers, and, finally, to the story of Will’s father, absent since Will’s childhood. Our Narrow Hiding Places is a sweeping story of survival and of the terrible cost of war—and a reminder that sometimes the traumas we inherit come along with a resilience we never imagined.

Title: Peggy: A Novel Author: Rebecca Godfrey Narrator: Leslie Jamison, Rebecca Lowman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 1 minute Release date: August 13, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: A dazzling, richly imagined novel about Peggy Guggenheim—a story of art, family, love, and becoming oneself—by the award-winning author of Under the Bridge, now a Hulu limited series starring Riley Keough and Lily Gladstone “Godfrey brilliantly resurrects the avant-garde adventurer Peggy Guggenheim as a feminist icon for our times.”—Jenny Offill, author of Dept. of Speculation “Magnificent . . . Readers will be won over by Godfrey’s incandescent portrait of a singular woman.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review Venice, 1958. Peggy Guggenheim, heiress and now legendary art collector, sits in the sun at her white marble palazzo on the Grand Canal. She’s in a reflective mood, thinking back on her thrilling, tragic, nearly impossible journey from her sheltered, old-fashioned family in New York to here: iconoclast and independent woman. Rebecca Godfrey’s Peggy is a blazingly fresh interpretation of a woman who defies every expectation to become an original. The daughter of two Jewish dynasties, Peggy finds her cloistered life turned upside down at fourteen, when her beloved father perishes on the Titanic. His death prompts Peggy to seek a life of passion and personal freedom and, above all, to believe in the transformative power of art. We follow Peggy as she makes her way through the glamorous but sexist and anti-Semitic art worlds of New York and Europe and meet the numerous men who love her (and her money) while underestimating her intellect, talent, and vision. Along the way, Peggy must balance her loyalty to her family with her need to break free from their narrow, snobbish ways and the unexpected restrictions that come with vast fortune. Rebecca Godfrey’s final book—completed by her friend, the acclaimed writer Leslie Jamison, following Godfrey’s death in 2022—brings to life the woman who helped make the Guggenheim name synonymous with art and genius.

Title: The Other Name: Septology I-II Series: #1 of Septology Author: Jon Fosse Narrator: Kyle Snyder Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 51 minutes Release date: December 26, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: The Other Name follows the lives of two men living close to each other on the west coast of Norway. The year is coming to a close and Asle, an aging painter and widower, is reminiscing about his life. He lives alone, his only friends being his neighbor, Åsleik, a bachelor and traditional Norwegian fisherman-farmer, and Beyer, a gallerist who lives in Bjørgvin, a couple hours drive south of Dylgja, where he lives. There, in Bjørgvin, lives another Asle, also a painter. He and the narrator are doppelgangers—two versions of the same person, two versions of the same life. Written in hypnotic prose that shifts between the first and third person, The Other Name calls into question concrete notions around subjectivity and the self. What makes us who we are? And why do we lead one life and not another? Through flashbacks, Fosse deftly explores the convergences and divergences in the lives of both Asles, slowly building towards a decisive encounter between them both. A writer at the zenith of his career, with The Other Name, the first two volumes in his Septology, Fosse presents us with an indelible and poignant exploration of the human condition that will endure as his masterpiece.

Title: Frost in May Author: Antonia White Narrator: Kim Bretton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 47 minutes Release date: January 30, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: 'Frost in May is the unsurpassed novel of convent school life. This story of a clash between a determined young girl and an authoritarian regime is both perceptive and painfully emotional, convincing in every detail.' —Hermione Lee, Observer Nanda Gray, the daughter of a Catholic convert, is nine when she is sent to the Convent of Five Wounds. Quick-witted, resilient, and eager to please, she accepts this closed world where, with all the enthusiasm of the outsider, her desires and passions become only those the school permits. Her only deviation from total obedience is the passionate friendships she makes. Convent life is perfectly captured—the smell of beeswax and incense; the petty cruelties of the nuns; the eccentricities of Nanda's school friends.

Title: Ruin: A Novel of Flyfishing in Bankruptcy Author: Leigh Seippel Narrator: Andrew J. Andersen Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 21 minutes Release date: March 26, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Frank is another dreamer whose life is suddenly burned to the ground. More a disillusioned literature PhD than an experienced financier, he had naively agreed to join his wife's inheritance with his own personal guarantee of a college friend's private equity partnership debt. ­The business implosion and subsequent bankruptcy took all their assets. Francy, an orphaned European heiress, now finds herself homeless, still married to pleasant, witty Frank—who had failed to protect them from disaster. ­The couple flees Manhattan to live at a desolate non-working Hudson Valley farm. Frank starts an artisanal brewery with a charismatic new eccentric friend. And, central to the heart of the story, he takes up fly fishing. Frank's perceptions on the water are fresh and acute, sometimes colored by his memory of the words of famous writers, now painfully ironic in his life's new context. And throughout, there is Francy's story. Now in exile, she re-approaches painting with new and darkly complex emotional energy. Her work's enigmatic intensity attracts a wealthy neighbor who offers Francy a show in his Manhattan gallery and that attracts a great deal of trouble indeed.

Frank starts an artisanal brewery with a charismatic new eccentric friend. And, central to the heart of the story, he takes up fly fishing. Frank's perceptions on the water are fresh and acute, sometimes colored by his memory of the words of famous writers, now painfully ironic in his life's new context. And throughout, there is Francy's story. Now in exile, she re-approaches painting with new and darkly complex emotional energy. Her work's enigmatic intensity attracts a wealthy neighbor who offers Francy a show in his Manhattan gallery and that attracts a great deal of trouble indeed. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/728455 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/728455]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: Uranians: Stories Author: Theodore Mccombs Narrator: Gabriel Mcknight Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 0 minutes Release date: January 23, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: At the end of the Victorian era, a handful of public intellectuals advocated for tolerance of the 'Uranian'—a man who loved other men. Some went so far as to propose that these 'intermediate sexes' might, in fact, constitute a totally different species, even serve as intrepid guides in our march toward an uncertain future. The five speculative stories in Theodore McCombs's kaleidoscopic collection span several possible worlds, teasing the boundaries between coexisting realities and taking up the question of queer difference from one surprising vantage after another. Each story unfolds with the depth and complexity of an entire universe; each is inhabited by characters learning to divest from a society that has marked and rejected them. Discerning which dreams of Western civilization to hold fast to and which to leave behind, these outsiders set their gazes on new horizons and prepare for the changes to come. Arch but tender, clear-eyed and compassionate, Uranians brilliantly illustrates the vital role that queerness plays in every possible version of our world.

Title: The River, The Town: A Novel Author: Farah Ali Narrator: Jeed Saddy Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 7 minutes Release date: February 6, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: A poignant and powerful first novel following the breakup of a Pakistani family in the face of climate disaster, and their indefatigable search for stability, love, and belonging. In the rural town in Pakistan where Baadal grows up, children are named like talismans to sustain life and ward off unhappiness. At seventeen, Baadal has come to understand why his parents gave him that name, with hopes that their Big River will one day flow wide again, and their thirst will be quenched after years of drought. But in the final year of his schooling, abundance seems impossibly far away. As his parents' marriage—full of rage, despair, and often violence—reaches a breaking point, the only comfort Baadal can afford is a budding kinship with Meena, a divorced older woman he meets on the banks of the drying river. Meena has only just escaped her abusive husband, but her resistance to remarry soon gives way to the promise of stability and companionship that Baadal offers. Together, they leave the town in search of greater fortunes in the city. But even strong-willed, independent Meena finds herself bowed by the strain of Badaal's punishing work schedule, her struggling beauty parlor, and the tension with Baadal's mother, Raheela, as she seeks to leave behind a life of disappointments and discover a freedom she's never known.

Title: Sister Snake: A Novel Author: Amanda Lee Koe Narrator: Zoë Chao Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 27 minutes Release date: December 3, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: A glittering, bold, darkly funny novel about two sisters—one in New York, one in Singapore—who are bound by an ancient secret Sisterhood is difficult for Su and Emerald. Su leads a sheltered, moneyed life as the picture-perfect wife of a conservative politician in Singapore. Emerald is a nihilistic sugar baby in New York, living from whim to whim and using her charms to make ends meet. But they share a secret: once, they were snakes, basking under a full moon in Tang dynasty China. A thousand years later, their mysterious history is the only thing still binding them together. When Emerald experiences a violent encounter in Central Park and Su boards the next flight to New York, the two reach a tenuous reconciliation for the first time in decades. Su convinces Emerald to move to Singapore so she can keep an eye on her—but she soon begins to worry that Emerald’s irrepressible behavior will out them both, in a sparkling, affluent city where everything runs like clockwork and any deviation from the norm is automatically suspect. Razor-sharp, hilarious, and raw in emotion, Sister Snake explores chosen family, queerness, passing, and the struggle against conformity. Reimagining the Chinese folktale “The Legend of the White Snake,” this is a novel about being seen for who you are—and, ultimately, how to live free.

Title: Sparks of Bright Matter: 'A debut novel of great imagination and originality'- THE SUNDAY TIMES Author: Leeanne O'donnell Narrator: Gerry O’brien Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 10 minutes Release date: April 11, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: 'A debut novel of great imagination and originality' - The Sunday Times 'Think Hilary Mantel, Neil Gaiman, Susanna Clarke crossed with Liam O'Flaherty, Lady Gregory, WB Yeats and the Celtic Revival - all expertly blended into a cracking page-turner that's as exquisitely deep, beautiful and metaphysical as it is fast-paced and brilliantly plotted' - The Irish Times 'Thrilling and intoxicating - a dazzling debut' - Evie Woods - author of The Lost Bookshop 'A captivating story, weaving together so many emotions with such beautiful descriptions that you feel you really are standing by the shoulders of the characters' - Philip Paris - author of The Last Witch of Scotland When ambitious apprentice chemist and secret alchemist Peter Woulfe is tasked with caring for a mysterious illustrated book, the Mutus Liber, he quickly realises that the grimy underworld of Georgian London is even more dangerous than he first believed. Soon the book is stolen by the light-fingered Sukie and Peter finds himself being pursued by threatening men who are willing to do anything to get the book back. Where in teeming London might Sukie be found? Why is Peter so enthralled by her? And what is it about the Mutus Liber that is so enticing? As the search for the book becomes an urgent game of cat and mouse, it seems that the key to Peter's present dilemma might only be found in half-remembered events from his childhood, and then further back still, in the mists of Irish myth. A spell-binding and unputdownable tale about spirit and matter, love and lust, and reality and magic.

Back home in Lagos a few days later, Adunni, a plucky fourteen-year-old runaway, is lying awake in Tia’s guest room. Having escaped from her rural village in a desperate bid to seek a better future, she’s finally found refuge with Tia, who has helped her enroll in school. It’s always been Adunni’s dream to get an education, and she’s bursting with excitement.    Suddenly, there’s a horrible knocking at the front gate. . . . It’s only the beginning of a harrowing ordeal that will see Tia forced to make a terrible choice between protecting Adunni or finally learning the truth behind the secret her mother has hidden from her. And Adunni will learn that her “louding voice,” as she calls it, is more important than ever, as she must advocate to save not only herself but all the young women of her home village, Ikati.    If she succeeds, she may transform Ikati into a place where girls are allowed to claim the bright futures they deserve—and shout their stories to the world.

In der Titelgeschichte zieht die Erzählerin eine Spur von Mariupol am Asowschen Meer, an dem ihre Mutter aufwuchs, bis zur Regnitz in Franken, dem Fluss, in dem diese sich das Leben nahm. Zu einer anderen Zeit in ihrem Leben verliebt sie sich in einen Fremden, mit dem sie die Magie der Musik verbindet, oder sie beobachtet eine verwahrloste Nachbarin, die ihre Umgebung wissentlich zugrunde gehen lässt. In Sri Lanka lernt sie Hunger und extremes Elend kennen, das die Welt sehenden Auges geschehen lässt, und in einer schweren existenziellen Krise zieht sie sich schließlich in eine Einsiedelei in den südpfälzischen Weinbergen zurück und ringt dort mit einer dunklen inneren Macht. Natascha Wodin führt uns auf die Nachtseite des Lebens und gibt den Außenseitern, den Einsamen und Verwundeten eine Stimme, die auch nach der Lektüre nicht verklingt. Für die Hörbuchlesung des Vorgängerromans Nastjas Tränen erhielt Martina Gedeck 2022 den Deutschen Hörbuchpreis als beste Interpretin.

Marvelous.” —The Washington Post “If you love King Arthur as much as I do, you’ll love Lev Grossman’s The Bright Sword, a fresh and engrossing take on the Matter of Britain featuring a colorful cast of Round Table knights who don’t often get as much story time as they deserve. The creator of The Magicians has woven another spell.” —George R. R. Martin, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Game of Thrones A gifted young knight named Collum arrives at Camelot to compete for a place at the Round Table, only to find that he’s too late. King Arthur died two weeks ago at the Battle of Camlann, and only a handful of the knights of the Round Table are left. The survivors aren’t the heroes of legend like Lancelot or Gawain. They’re the oddballs of the Round Table, like Sir Palomides, the Saracen Knight, and Sir Dagonet, Arthur’s fool, who was knighted as a joke. They’re joined by Nimue, who was Merlin’s apprentice until she turned on him and buried him under a hill.  But it's up to them to rebuild Camelot in a world that has lost its balance, even as God abandons Britain and the fairies and old gods return, led by Morgan le Fay. They must reclaim Excalibur and make this ruined world whole again—but first they'll have to solve the mystery of why the lonely, brilliant King Arthur fell.  The first major Arthurian epic of the new millennium, The Bright Sword is steeped in tradition, complete with duels and quests, battles and tournaments, magic swords and Fisher Kings. It's also a story about imperfect men and women, full of strength and pain, trying to reforge a broken land in spite of being broken themselves.

Title: The Forgotten Names: A Tale of Heroism and Reclaiming Identity in Nazi-Occupied France Author: Mario Escobar Narrator: Saskia Maarleveld Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 41 minutes Release date: June 11, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: For fans of The Book of Lost Names and The Way We Hide! In August 1942, French parents were faced with a horrible choice: watch their children die, or abandon them forever. Fifty years later, it becomes one woman's mission to match the abandoned names with the people they belong to. Five years after the highly publicized trial of Klaus Barbie, the 'Butcher of Lyon,' law student Valérie Portheret began her doctoral research into the 108 children who disappeared from Vénissieux fifty years earlier, children who somehow managed to escape deportation and certain death in the German concentration camps. She soon discovers that their rescue was no unexplainable miracle. It was the result of a coordinated effort by clergy, civilians, the French Resistance, and members of other humanitarian organizations who risked their lives as part of a committee dedicated to saving those most vulnerable innocents. Theirs was a heroic act without precedent in Nazi-occupied Europe, made possible due to a loophole in the Nazi agenda to deport all Jewish immigrants from the country: a legally recognized exemption for unaccompanied minors. Therefore, to save their children, the Jewish mothers of Vénissieux were asked to make the ultimate sacrifice of abandoning them forever. Told in dual timelines, The Forgotten Names is a reimagined account of the true stories of the French men and women who have since been named Righteous Among the Nations, the children they rescued, the stifled cries of shattered mothers, and a law student, whose twenty-five-year journey allowed those children to reclaim their heritage and remember their forgotten names. With its gripping narrative and thought-provoking themes, The Forgotten Names is a must-read for history enthusiasts and book clubs alike.

Title: Nice Work, Nora November: A Novel about Second Chances Author: Julia London Narrator: Karissa Vacker Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 0 minutes Release date: June 4, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: 'A delightful novel about fate, second chances, and how our worst moments are only the gateways to the best moments to come. When you're finished, you'll be writing your own reverse bucket list to check off.' --Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author New York Times bestselling author Julia London returns with a 'perfect blend of women's fiction and romantic comedy' (Kristan Higgins) for fans Matt Haig, Linda Holmes, and Abi Waxman. Now that Nora is not dead, only one question remains: What does she want to do with her life? Nora November is alive--but she wasn't always. She was once clinically dead, having spent several minutes under water after a terrible surfing accident she doesn't remember. What she does remember from her time in a coma is her grandfather, who passed away over a year ago. And a beautiful garden. And the most delicious tomato she ever tasted. Now that she's awake again her life has been cleaved in two. In the Before, Nora lived like a ghost, drowning under the weight of her parents' expectations. In the After, she's determined to accomplish the things she left undone before she died. Her reverse bucket list is simple: She wants to learn to cook and to be a better older sister to Lacey. She wants to quit her terrible job as a personal injury lawyer at her dad's firm. She wants to bring Grandpa's now-neglected garden back to life. And she wants to find the guy she met in a corner store months ago--the one she never called but never stopped thinking about. As Nora's attempts at a new life prove disastrous at best, her mission to fulfill her reverse bucket list leads her to a reckoning with the truth she almost hid from herself. Nice Work, Nora November blends humor, hope, and romance with a relatable heroine and her reverse bucket list. With the included discussion questions, it's the perfect book club book, and will have you asking yourself: what would you do if given a second chance at life?

She wants to quit her terrible job as a personal injury lawyer at her dad's firm. She wants to bring Grandpa's now-neglected garden back to life. And she wants to find the guy she met in a corner store months ago--the one she never called but never stopped thinking about. As Nora's attempts at a new life prove disastrous at best, her mission to fulfill her reverse bucket list leads her to a reckoning with the truth she almost hid from herself. Nice Work, Nora November blends humor, hope, and romance with a relatable heroine and her reverse bucket list.

Title: The Fourteen Sisters of Emilio Montez O'Brien: A Novel Author: Oscar Hijuelos Narrator: Gary Tiedemann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 19 hours 41 minutes Release date: July 16, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: With “soaring, matchless prose,” a Pulitzer Prize winner pens a New York Times bestselling saga of the Montez O’Briens, a rambunctious family of Irish Cuban immigrants comprised of fourteen daughters—and one doggedly masculine son (Publishers Weekly).  Irish American Nelson O’Brien fell passionately in love with the poetess Mariela Montez while photographing the ravages of battle in Mariela's native Cuba during the Spanish-American War. After marrying, they moved to the United States to start a new life, settling in a small Pennsylvania town where Nelson took over the Jewel Box Movie Theater. Together, they had a remarkable fifteen children: fourteen daughters and one lone son. In Oscar Hijuelos’s The Fourteen Sisters of Emilio Montez O'Brien, the lives, loves, and tragedies of this sprawling Irish Cuban family unfold. Over the course of a century, each member moves in and out of each other’s lives, traversing Cuba, New York, California, Alaska, and Ireland, while Margarita—the Montez O’Brien’s eldest daughter—ruminates on the nature of femininity, sex, love, and earthly happiness. And as Margarita learns and grows in an overwhelmingly female environment, she can’t help but contrast her experiences with those of Emilio, her intensely masculine brother, whose B-movie career in the 1950s has left him adrift and frustrated, with little hope of success. Lush and gorgeously written, The Fourteen Sisters of Emilio Montez O'Brien is a masterwork by one of America's greatest writers. Reckoning with cultural assimilation and complex family dynamics, the novel elicits tears and laughter while tenderly revealing the bounteous heart and exhilarating adventures of a warm, passionate family. Includes a Reading Group Guide.

Title: [French] - Une exécution Author: Danya Kukafka Narrator: Jacqueline Berces Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 34 minutes Release date: December 14, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Meilleur suspense de l'année 2022 pour le New York Times. Ansel Packer attend la mort, après avoir lui-même tué. Dans douze heures, il sera exécuté dans une prison américaine. Ansel ne veut pas mourir. Il veut être écouté, admiré, compris. A son monologue obsessionnel depuis sa cellule se superposent les récits de trois femmes : Lavender, sa mère, Hazel, la soeur jumelle de son épouse, et Saffy, l'enquêtrice, qu'il avait croisée plus jeune en foyer d'accueil. Alors que l'heure de l'exécution se rapproche, les destins des trois femmes se nouent à la manière d'une tragédie, laissant place à des questions d'une cruelle actualité. Qu'est-ce que cette fascination du tueur en série dit d'une société qui oublie ses victimes ? Mélange étonnant de suspense et d'enquête socio-psychologique, Une exécution accomplit la prouesse de maintenir une tension constante alors que le coupable est désigné dès l'ouverture. Danya Kukafka excelle aussi bien dans la construction d'une intrigue impitoyable que dans le portrait de ses personnages. Chacun à leur manière, ils percent la page, nous étreignent et nous interrogent, nous émeuvent et nous dérangent tout à la fois.

Et tous, dans l'ivresse des plaisirs mondains, de poursuivre des rêves illusoires tout en faisant le malheur de leurs proches. L'œuvre de Françoise Sagan est légère, nonchalante, cruelle. On joue, on ment, on s'ennuie, on souffre. Un jour, dans un mois ou dans un an, ses personnages auront cessé d'aimer. Et ils seront à nouveau seuls. Oubliées l'amertume et la tristesse, ils repartiront à la chasse au bonheur.

Title: [German] - Die sieben Monde des Maali Almeida [Ungekürzt] Author: Shehan Karunatilaka Narrator: Hans Löw Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 26 minutes Release date: November 28, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Sri Lanka, 1990. Maali Almeida, ein verkappt schwuler Kriegsfotograf und Zocker, erwacht in einer Art himmlischer Einwanderungsbehörde, in der es äußerst bürokratisch zugeht. Sein lebloser Körper versinkt gerade im Beira Lake und Maali hat keinen Schimmer, wer ihn umgebracht hat. Mitten im Bürgerkrieg, wo Todesschwadronen, Selbstmordattentäter und Auftragsmörder das Sagen haben, ist die Liste der Verdächtigen bedrückend lang, wovon all die Geister, die ihn ab jetzt begleiten, ebenfalls ein Lied singen können. Doch im Jenseits gibt man Maali nur sieben Tage Zeit, um herauszufinden, was geschehen ist - und um den beiden Menschen, denen er am meisten vertraut, mitzuteilen, wo sich die Negative hochbrisanter Fotos befinden, die nicht nur Sri Lanka, sondern die ganze Welt erschüttern sollen. Für seinen Zweitling wurde der große sri-lankische Romancier Shehan Karunatilaka mit dem Booker Prize ausgezeichnet. Darin erzählt er, wie man vom Limbus aus die Welt rettet.

Title: [German] - Nur ein paar Nächte: Roman Author: Fabian Neidhardt Narrator: Fabian Neidhardt, Chantal Busse Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 1 minute Release date: November 23, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Dafür aber 1000 Liebe Von einem alleinerziehenden Vater und einer Tochter, die sich kaum bändigen lässt, von Nähe und Loslassen, von Entscheidungen, die das Leben verlangt. Ben ist Mitte dreißig, er zieht allein seine 12-jährige Tochter Mia groß – und: er hat sich in seinem Leben eingerichtet. Was aber, wenn sich plötzlich alles verändert? Denn: Bens Vater steht vor der Tür und muss für ein paar Nächte bei ihm unterkommen, weil er seine Frau, Bens Mutter, betrogen hat. Außerdem bringt die Polizei Mia nach Hause, die auf eigene Faust nach Hamburg reisen wollte. Um ihre Mutter zu suchen. Um endlich Antworten zu finden. Was bedeutet es, als Frau keine Mutter werden zu wollen? Auf der anderen Seite – und für Mia nicht greifbar: Orna. Bens große Liebe und Mias Mama. Die Beziehung zu Ben war gerade beendet, als Orna den Test macht. Sie: wollte nie Kinder. Er: konnte keine bekommen, eigentlich. Was für Ben eine einmalige Chance war, Vater zu werden, war für Orna die Idee von einem Leben, für das sie sich nie entschieden hat. Die beiden machen einen Deal: Orna behält das Baby, bringt es zur Welt; Ben wird das Kind großziehen. So war es seit Beginn der Schwangerschaft vereinbart. Ein rauschender Text über die Beschaffenheit von Beziehungen, über Gefühle für- und zueinander, über Familie Mit dem eigenen Vater im Haus muss Ben sich nun dagegen wehren, automatisch wieder Kind zu werden. Und er muss gleichzeitig selbst der beste Vater sein, weil seine Tochter gerade nicht da, nicht bei ihm, sein will. Ein Wochenende bleibt Zeit, um Generationen an Unausgesprochenem zu artikulieren, um Fehler zu akzeptieren, neue zu machen und sich zu entschuldigen. Sich einzugestehen, dass es kein Versagen auf ganzer Linie ist, zuerst das verletzte Kind in sich selbst heilen zu müssen, um sich besser um das eigene kümmern zu können. *** 'Fabian Neidhardt schreibt wie geschnitzt und schafft es dennoch, dabei nie hölzern zu werden: In großer Wärme erzählt er von den Ecken und Kanten seiner Protagonist:innen, von dem Monstrum und Glück, das sich Familie nennt.'

Title: The Blue Maiden Author: Anna Noyes Narrator: Alyssa Bresnahan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 1 minute Release date: May 14, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: It’s 1825, four generations after Berggrund Island’s women stood accused of witchcraft under the eye of their priest, now long dead. In his place is Pastor Silas, a widower with two wild young daughters, Beata and Ulrika. The sisters are outcasts: imaginative, oppositional, increasingly obsessed with the lore and legend of the island’s dark past and their absent mother, whom their father refuses to speak of.As the girls come of age, and the strictures of the community shift but never wane, their rebellions twist and sharpen. Ever capable Ulrika shoulders the burden of keeping house, while Bea, alone with unsettling visions and impulses, hungers for companionship and attention.When an enigmatic outsider arrives at their door, his presence threatens their family bond and unearths—piece by piece—a buried history to shocking ends. All the while Berggrund’s neighboring island the Blue Maiden beckons, storied home of the Witches’ Sabbath and Satan’s realm, its misted shore veiling truths the sisters have spent their lives searching for.A Nordic Gothic laced with the horrors of life in a patriarchy both hostile to and reliant on its women, The Blue Maiden is a starkly beautiful depiction of lost lineage and resilience.“A breathtaking story of sisterhood and secrets that gripped me from page one. Beata and Ulrika are magnetic, and their coming-of-age on wild BerggrundIsland is a tale unlike any other, full of astonishing twists. The Blue Maiden is a knockout by a writer at the height of her exquisite powers.”—Julie Buntin, author of Marlena Anna Noyes Tue, 14 May 2024 12:30:50 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/722709 thebookvoice.com 7:1:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/722709]]> to listen full audiobooks.

As stubborn as her tonics are powerful, Herself inspires reverence and fear in the people of Whiteheart, and even in her own three estranged daughters. The youngest—the beautiful, inscrutable, and lazy Rose Thorn—has left her own daughter, eleven-year-old Dorothy “Donkey” Zook, to grow up wild.

Rage simmers below the surface of this divided community, and those on both sides of the divide have closed their doors against the enemy. The only bridge across the waters is Rose Thorn.

Title: [German] - Die Möglichkeit von Glück: Roman Author: Anne Rabe Narrator: Kaja Sesterhenn Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 21 minutes Release date: November 2, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: »Dieses Buch ist so mitreißend, feinsinnig und schonungslos, dass es mich einfach nicht loslässt.« Alena Schröder  In der DDR geboren, im wiedervereinigten Deutschland aufgewachsen. Als die Mauer fällt, ist Stine gerade einmal drei Jahre alt. Doch die Familie ist tief verstrickt. In ein System, von dem sie nicht lassen kann, und in den Glauben, das richtige Leben gelebt zu haben. Bestechend klar und kühn erzählt Anne Rabe von einer Generation, deren Herkunft eine Leerstelle ist. Stine kommt Mitte der 80er Jahre in einer Kleinstadt an der ostdeutschen Ostsee zur Welt. Sie ist ein Kind der Wende. Um den Systemwechsel in der DDR zu begreifen, ist sie zu jung, doch die vielschichtigen ideologischen Prägungen ihrer Familie schreiben sich in die heranwachsende Generation fort. Während ihre Verwandten die untergegangene Welt hinter einem undurchdringlichen Schweigen verstecken, brechen bei Stine Fragen auf, die sich nicht länger verdrängen lassen. Anne Rabe hat ein ebenso hellsichtiges wie aufwühlendes Buch von literarischer Wucht geschrieben. Sie geht den Verwundungen einer Generation nach, die zwischen Diktatur und Demokratie aufgewachsen ist, und fragt nach den Ursprüngen von Rassismus und Gewalt. »Eine junge Frau will die Gewalt verstehen, die ihre Familiengeschichte durchdringt – und entlarvt dabei die brutale Selbstlüge einer ganzen Elterngeneration. Wie Anne Rabe eine eigene Sprache für diese Sprachlosigkeit findet – das ist ganz große Kunst.« Alena Schröder Anne Rabe Thu, 02 Nov 2023 12:30:50 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/722557 thebookvoice.com 8:21:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/722557]]> to listen full audiobooks.

In this harrowing story based on authentic historical documents, we follow the career of Dr. Silas Weir, “Father of Gyno-Psychiatry,” as he ascends from professional anonymity to national renown. Humiliated by a procedure gone terribly wrong, Weir is forced to take a position at the New Jersey Asylum for Female Lunatics, where he reigns. There, he is allowed to continue his practice, unchecked for decades, making a name for himself by focusing on women who have been neglected by the state—women he subjects to the most grotesque modes of experimentation. As he begins to establish himself as a pioneer of nineteenth-century surgery, Weir’s ambition is fueled by his obsessive fascination with a young Irish indentured servant named Brigit, who becomes not only Weir’s primary experimental subject, but also the agent of his destruction. Narrated by Silas Weir’s eldest son, who has repudiated his father’s brutal legacy, Butcher is a unique blend of fiction and fact, a nightmare voyage through the darkest regions of the American psyche conjoined, in its startling conclusion, with unexpected romance. Once again, Joyce Carol Oates has written a spellbinding novel confirming her position as one of our celebrated American visionaries of the imagination.

Title: 200Th Anniversary Collection 2 Author: Charles Dickens Narrator: The Lantern, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 52 minutes Release date: October 24, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Here is the second volume; the first volume of short works - fiction, essays, poetry and speeches celebrating Dickens' birthday on February 7th 2012. The wonder of Charles Dickens resides in his unparalleled ability to transport readers into the vivid tapestry of Victorian England. With an uncanny knack for illuminating both the harsh realities of life in the 19th century and the enduring resilience of the human spirit, Dickens crafted stories that transcend time and place. His characters, from the indomitable Oliver Twist to the enigmatic Miss Havisham, are etched into the collective memory of literature, their plights and triumphs offering a profound mirror to our own experiences. Dickens' narrative prowess lay in his knack for conjuring intricate, multi-layered plots that captivate, inspire, and, at times, even elicit a tear or a hearty chuckle. The vivid streets of London, the trials of orphans, and the ghostly visitations in A Christmas Carol all come to life through his words, inviting readers to explore the multifaceted world he so masterfully crafted. But the wonder of Charles Dickens goes beyond his storytelling. He was, in every sense, a social critic of his era. His works, whether through the depiction of child labor, the stark conditions of the poor, or the intricacies of the legal system, shed light on the injustices of Victorian society. With a pen as his sword, Dickens championed social reform and illuminated the darkness of his time. His legacy endures as a testament to the power of literature to challenge the status quo and inspire change. Even today, his writings remain a source of wonder, inspiring generations to appreciate the beauty of language and the enduring resilience of the human spirit, and reminding us of the timeless relevance of his timeless tales.

Secretly taken to a peasant family living in the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains, the infant girl is raised as their own. Years later, a young woman called Boróka—ignorant of her true history—is sent to join the Countess’s household. Terrified of the Countess’s murderous reputation and the brutally cruel women who run the castle, Boróka struggles to find her place. Then plague breaches the castle’s walls, and a tentative bond unexpectedly forms between the girl and the Countess. But powerful forces are moving against the great lady whose wealth and independence threatens the king. Can the Countess trust the women seemingly so close to her? And when the show trial begins against the infamous “Blood Countess” where will Boróka’s loyalties lie?

Title: The Horse: A Novel Author: Willy Vlautin Narrator: Willy Vlautin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 50 minutes Release date: July 30, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: “Willy Vlautin writes about people overlooked by society and overlooked by literature. In The Horse, he tells the story of a tenderhearted man who has a steady talent and a crushing addiction. It is both a work of extraordinary compassion and a really great novel.'' — Ann Patchett, New York Times bestselling author of Tom Lake “A moving tale of suffering and redemption, The Horse portrays the immense gravity of what it takes to be human in tough times, and the elusive grace that might just be grasped from music, animals, and memory.” — Geraldine Brooks, New York Times bestselling author of Horse Award-winning author Willy Vlautin explores loneliness, art, regret, and hard-won empathy in this poignant novel—his most personal to date—that captures the life of a journeyman musician unable to escape the tragedies of his past. Al Ward lives on an isolated mining claim in the high desert of central Nevada fifty miles from the nearest town. A grizzled man in his sixties, he survives on canned soup, instant coffee, and memories of his ex-wife, friends and family he’s lost, and his life as a touring musician. Hampered by insomnia, bouts of anxiety, and a chronic lethargy that keeps him from moving back to town, Al finds himself teetering on the edge of madness and running out of reasons to go on—until a horse arrives on his doorstep: nameless, blind, and utterly helpless. Al hopes the horse will vanish as mysteriously as he appeared. Yet the animal remains, leaving him in a conundrum. Is the animal real, or a phantom conjured from imagination? As Al contemplates the horse’s existence—and what, if anything, he can do—his thoughts are interspersed with memories, from the moment his mother’s part-time boyfriend gifts him a 1959 butterscotch blonde Telecaster, to the day his travels begin. He joins various bands—all who perform his songs once they discover his talent–playing casinos, truck stops, clubs, and bars. He falls in love, and finds pockets of companionship and minor success along the way. Never close to stardom or financial success, he continues as a journeyman for decades until alcoholism and a heartbreaking tragedy lead him to the solitude of the barren Nevada desert. A poignant meditation on addiction, heartbreak, and the reality of life on the road in smalltime bands, The Horse is a beautiful, haunting tale from an author working at the height of his powers.

Title: We Burn Daylight: A Novel Author: Bret Anthony Johnston Narrator: Xe Sands, Christian Baskous Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 39 minutes Release date: July 30, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • An epic novel of star-crossed lovers set in a doomsday cult on the Texas prairie that asks: What would you sacrifice for the person you love? “Symphonic and suspenseful . . . In an epic act of empathy, Bret Anthony Johnston inhabits every point of view, from doomed devotees to perplexed law enforcement.”—Geraldine Brooks, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of March A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice Waco, Texas, 1993. People from all walks of life have arrived to follow the Lamb’s gospel—signing over savings and pensions, selling their homes and shedding marriages. They’ve come here to worship at the feet of a former landscaper turned prophet who is preparing for the End Times with a staggering cache of weapons. Jaye’s mother is one of his newest and most devout followers, though Jaye herself has suspicions about the Lamb’s methods—and his motives. Roy is the youngest son of the local sheriff, a fourteen-year-old boy with a heart of gold and a nose for trouble who falls for Jaye without knowing of her mother’s attachment to the man who is currently making his father’s life hell. The two teenagers are drawn to each other immediately and completely, but their love may have dire consequences for their families. The Lamb has plans for them all—especially Jaye—and as his preaching and scheming move them closer and closer to unthinkable violence, Roy risks everything to save Jaye. Based on the true events that unfolded thirty years ago during the siege of the Branch Davidian compound, Bret Anthony Johnston’s We Burn Daylight is an unforgettable love story, a heart-pounding literary page turner, and a profound exploration of faith, family, and what it means to truly be saved.

Title: Someone Like Us: A novel Author: Dinaw Mengestu Narrator: Junior Nyong'o Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 9 minutes Release date: July 30, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK • The son of Ethiopian immigrants seeks to understand a hidden family history and uncovers a past colored by unexpected loss, addiction, and the enduring emotional pull toward home. After abandoning his once-promising career as a journalist in search of a new life in Paris, Mamush meets Hannah—a photographer whose way of seeing the world shows him the possibility of finding not only love but family. Now, five years later, with his marriage to Hannah on the verge of collapse, he returns to the close-knit immigrant Ethiopian community of Washington, DC, that defined his childhood. At its center is Mamush’s stoic, implacable mother, and Samuel, the larger-than-life father figure whose ceaseless charm and humor have always served as a cover for a harder, more troubling truth. But on the same day that Mamush arrives home in Washington, Samuel is found dead in his garage. With Hannah and their two-year-old son back in Paris, Mamush sets out on an unexpected journey across America in search of answers to questions he'd been told never to ask. As he does so, he begins to understand that perhaps the only chance he has of saving his family and making it back home is to confront not only the unresolved mystery around Samuel’s life and death, but his own troubled memories, and the years spent masking them. Breathtaking, commanding, unforgettable work from one of America’s most prodigiously gifted novelists.

After a long, precarious stretch bouncing among sketchy rentals and sublets, she and her family are living in luxury for a year, house-sitting in the hills above Los Angeles. The gig magically coincides with Jane’s sabbatical, giving her the time and space she needs to finish her second novel—a centuries-spanning epic her artist husband, Lenny, dubs her “mulatto War and Peace.” Finally, some semblance of stability and success seems to be within her grasp. But things don’t work out quite as hoped. Desperate for a plan B, like countless writers before her Jane turns her gaze to Hollywood. When she finagles a meeting with Hampton Ford, a hot producer with a major development deal at a streaming network, he seems excited to work with a “real writer,” and together they begin to develop “the Jackie Robinson of biracial comedies.” Things finally seem to be going right for Jane—until they go terribly wrong.

Anderson Narrator: Euan Morton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 56 minutes Release date: July 23, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: AN NPR NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR • From the award-winning and bestselling author of Feed comes a raucous, slyly funny, and delightfully queer work of historical fantasy, based on a bizarre but true quest to steal the mystical corpse of a long-dead saint '[An] uproarious saga . . . drawing on contemporary accounts, fantastical folk tales, and [Anderson's] own knack for high jinks.'—New York Times Book Review '[A] rollicking comic novel.'—NPR The year is 1087, and a pox is sweeping through the Italian city of Bari. When a lowly monk is visited by Saint Nicholas in his dreams, he interprets the vision as a call to serve the sick. But his superiors, and the power brokers they serve, have different plans for the tender-hearted Brother Nicephorus. Enter Tyun, a charismatic treasure hunter renowned for “liberating” holy relics from their tombs. The seven-hundred-year-old bones of Saint Nicholas are rumored to weep a mysterious liquid that can heal the sick, Tyun says. For the humble price of a small fortune, he will steal the bones and deliver them to Bari, curing the plague and restoring glory to the fallen city. And Nicephorus, the “dreamer,” will be his guide. What follows is a heist for the ages, as Nicephorus is swept away on strange tides, and alongside even stranger bedfellows, to commit sacrilegious theft. Based on real historical accounts, Nicked is a swashbuckling saga, a medieval novel noir, a meditation on the miraculous, and a monastic meet-cute, filled with wide-eyed wonder at the world that awaits beyond our own borders.

Based on real historical accounts, Nicked is a swashbuckling saga, a medieval novel noir, a meditation on the miraculous, and a monastic meet-cute, filled with wide-eyed wonder at the world that awaits beyond our own borders.

When a lowly monk is visited by Saint Nicholas in his dreams, he interprets the vision as a call to serve the sick. But his superiors, and the power brokers they serve, have different plans for the tender-hearted Brother Nicephorus. Enter Tyun, a charismatic treasure hunter renowned for “liberating” holy relics from their tombs. The seven-hundred-year-old bones of Saint Nicholas are rumored to weep a mysterious liquid that can heal the sick, Tyun says. For the humble price of a small fortune, he will steal the bones and deliver them to Bari, curing the plague and restoring glory to the fallen city. And Nicephorus, the “dreamer,” will be his guide. What follows is a heist for the ages, as Nicephorus is swept away on strange tides, and alongside even stranger bedfellows, to commit sacrilegious theft.

Title: [Spanish] - Diez novelas de César Aira Author: César Aira Narrator: Sebastián Díaz Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 20 hours 3 minutes Release date: November 9, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Premio Formentor 2021 Este volumen reúne diez de las mejores novelas del gran autor argentino, César Aira, con selección y prefacio de Juan Pablo Villalobos. «Hace tiempo descubrimos que la gran novela de César Aira se estaba escribiendo con la acumulación de sus decenas de novelitas, que alcanzaron la centena en 2018. Los devotos fuimos atesorándolas como si se tratara de los fascículos de una enciclopedia secreta, ya que, además, iban publicándose con rapidez por aquí y por allá, de manera esquiva -un gesto más propio de un artista contemporáneo que de un escritor. »En el camino nos acostumbramos a que algunas de las entregas tuvieran sólo diez o quince páginas, a que asumieran formas diversas- digresiones ensayísticas, crónicas inverosímiles, cuentos de hadas-, a que cuestionaran conscientemente las reglas de aquello que suele considerarse 'escribir bien'. Porque, al fin y al cabo, ¿qué podemos esperar de una obra de César Aira? Cualquier cosa: un artefacto ingenioso e impredecible, una miniatura narrativa que renueva, una y otra vez, la literatura. »Este volumen reúne por vez primera diez novelas publicadas en editoriales pequeñas y que en muchos casos estaban fuera de circulación. Diez piezas del insólito rompecabezas airano: una novela de zombies, una teoría y práctica del humor, la biografía de un músico de jazz genial, o el relato delirante de la huida de dos personajes diminutos dentro de la maqueta de un colegio, entre otras. Diez razones que confirman a César Aira como uno de los narradores más asombrosos de la literatura actual.» Juan Pablo Villalobos Este volumen incluye las novelas: Cecil Taylor, La costurera y el viento, Las conversaciones, El divorcio, Los dos payasos, El volante, La confesión, La pastilla de hormona, La cena y Diario de la hepatitis. La crítica ha dicho... «Las historias de Aira parecen fragmentos de un infinito e interconectado universo en constante expansión.» Patti Smith «César Aira no es sólo uno de los más destacables escritores argentinos de la actualidad: es también uno de los autores más originales, más chocantes, más inteligentes y divertidos de la narrativa contemporánea en lengua española.» Ignacio Echeverría «Leer a César Aira es siempre una experiencia sorprendente, aunque debe advertirse que su ficción despliega un mundo tan reconocible como original.» Arturo García Ramos, ABC «César Aira es un escritor sorprendente cuyas obras, de rara genialidad, se transmiten como un secreto entre una secta de entusiastas cada vez más amplia.» Josep Massot, La Vanguardia «César Aira es uno de los novelistas más provocativos e idiosincrásicos de la literatura en lengua española.

Title: Banal Nightmare: A Novel Author: Halle Butler Narrator: Ruby Mccollister Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 37 minutes Release date: July 16, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: A ferocious novel by one of the boldest voices in American fiction and the author of The New Me, the “definitive work of millennial literature” (The New Yorker) “Butler has crafted a novel in which every character proves to be completely, uniquely crazy. Her perverse sense of humor should be studied and celebrated.”—David Sedaris Margaret Anne “Moddie” Yance had just returned to her native land in the Midwestern town of X, to mingle with the friends of her youth, to get back in touch with her roots, and to recover from a stressful decade of living in the city in a small apartment with a man she now believed to be a megalomaniac or perhaps a covert narcissist. So begins Halle Butler’s sadistically precise and hilarious Banal Nightmare, which follows Moddie as she abruptly ends her long-term relationship and moves back to her hometown, throwing herself at the mercy of her old friends as they, all suddenly tipping toward middle age, go to parties, size each other up, obsess over past slights, dream of wild triumphs, and indulge in elaborate revenge fantasies. When her friend Pam invites a mysterious East Coast artist to take up a winter residency at the local university, Moddie has no choice but to confront the demons of her past and grapple with the reality of what her life has become. As the day of reckoning approaches, friends will become enemies, enemies will become mortal enemies, and old loyalties will be tested to their extreme. Banal Nightmare is filled with complicated characters who will dazzle you in their rendering just as often as they will infuriate you with their decisions. Halle Butler singularly captures the volatile, angry, aggrieved, surreal, and entirely disorienting atmosphere of the modern era. Cover art: Yelling, 1994, by John Wesley.

Title: A Thousand Times Before: A Novel Author: Asha Thanki Narrator: Priya Ayyar Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 20 minutes Release date: July 9, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: “A rich family saga about art and memory's power to inform the present, make peace with the past, and maybe even alter the future.” — Celeste Ng, New York Times bestselling author of Our Missing Hearts “[Asha] Thanki reinvents generational memory, conjuring inheritance as a tapestry of love, trauma, and choices that echo through blood. A profoundly tender and complex debut that I didn't want to put down.' — Sequoia Nagamatsu, bestselling author of How High We Go in the Dark A heartrending family saga following three generations of women connected by a fantastic tapestry through which they inherit the experiences of those that lived before them, sweeping readers from Partition-era India to modern day Brooklyn. Ayukta is finally sitting down with her wife Nadya to respond to a question she’s long avoided: Should they have a child? The decision is complicated by a secret her family has kept for centuries, one that Ayukta will be the first to share with someone outside their bloodline: the women in her family inherit a mysterious tapestry, through which each generation can experience the memories of those who came before her. Ayukta invites Nadya into this lineage, carrying her through its past. She relives her grandmother Amla’s life: Once a happy child in Karachi, Amla migrates to Gujarat during Partition, witnessing violence and loss that forever shape her approach to marriage and motherhood. Amla’s daughter, Arni, bears this weight in her own blood in 1974, when gender equity and urban class distinctions divide the community as a bold student movement takes hold. As Ayukta unspools these generations of women—whole decades of love, loss, heartbreak, and revival—she reveals the tapestry’s second gift: the ability for each of these women to dramatically reshape their own worlds. Like all power, both fantastic and societal, this inheritance is more treacherous than it seems. What would it mean, to impart an impossible burden? To withhold these incredible gifts? Sweeping, deeply felt and intergenerational, A Thousand Times Before is a debut as poetic as it is propulsive, as healing as it is heartbreaking, as it examines what it means to carry our past with us and to pass it on. Rooted in a tender love story, and spun with a tremendous amount of care, this book is a rare, remarkable feat from an incredible new literary talent.

But the young couple decide to plunge headlong into matrimony, marking the first time their fractured families will reunite since Alice’s funeral.

Title: Liars: A Novel Author: Sarah Manguso Narrator: Rebecca Lowman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 7 minutes Release date: July 23, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: An “eviscerating” (The New York Times) novel about being a wife, a mother, and an artist, and how marriage makes liars of us all—from the author of Very Cold People and 300 Arguments “Is divorce the new marriage plot? . . . [Liars] pulses with a rare kind of anger, making it a compulsive, unforgettable read. Love stories, it seems, are out. Divorce as liberation? Very much in.”—Vogue “A tour de force . . . Liars makes an old story fresh.”—NPR “A bracing story of a woman on the verge.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: NPR, Town & Country, Lit Hub A nuclear family can destroy a woman artist. I’d always known that. But I’d never suspected how easily I’d fall into one anyway. When Jane, an aspiring writer, meets filmmaker John Bridges, they both want the same things: to be in love, to live a successful, creative life, and to be happy. When they marry, Jane believes she has found everything she was looking for, including—a few years later—all the attendant joys and labors of motherhood. But it’s not long until Jane finds herself subsumed by John’s ambitions, whims, and ego; in short, she becomes a wife. As Jane’s career flourishes, their marriage starts to falter. Throughout the upheavals of family life, Jane tries to hold it all together. That is, until John leaves her. Liars is a tour de force of wit and rage, telling the blistering story of a marriage as it burns to the ground, and of a woman rising inexorably from its ashes.

Title: Three Keys: A Novel Author: Laura Pritchett Narrator: Rebecca Lowman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 59 minutes Release date: July 16, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Newly widowed and unemployed, a woman in her mid-fifties sets off on a journey of trespassing and adventure through the American West and beyond in Three Keys, a witty, thought-provoking novel from the PEN USA Award–winning writer. “Filled with award-winner Pritchett’s electric prose and love of the natural world, Three Keys is irresistible.”—Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of Days of Wonder1 Becoming invisible is painful . . . unless you know how to work it. Ammalie Brinks has just lost the three keys of her life’s purpose—her husband, her job, and her role as a mom, after her son went off to college. She’s also mystified to find herself in middle age: How exactly had that happened? The terrifying idea of becoming irrelevant, invisible, of letting her life slip away Into obscurity, has her driving distracted through Nebraska with a broken plastic fork in her tangled hair. But what Ammalie has found are three literal keys, saved in a drawer for years, from her and her husband’s past. They are the keys to homes that she hopes will be empty—and plans on spending time in. Embarking on an international and increasingly complicated journey (criminal behavior turns out to be challenging!), she seeks to find a life truly her own. And that middle-age business? As someone breaking the law, Ammalie finds there's a real benefit to being invisible when you’re working on becoming the striking, bold, and very much manifested self you want to be. Laura Pritchett, winner of the PEN USA Award for Fiction and the Colorado Book Award, offers a delightful exploration of the very serious business of living a full and honest life. Filled with love, heartbreak, and misdemeanors, Three Keys tackles the unavoidable sorrows and joys experienced during a second coming of age with the zest and vigor that it deserves.

Title: The Sirens of Soleil City: A Novel Author: Sarah C. Johns Narrator: Christine Lakin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 41 minutes Release date: July 9, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Three generations of women learn to own their mistakes and rebuild their bonds as they prepare to compete in the South Florida Senior Synchronized Swimming Competition. “A witty, touching story of resilience, forgiveness, complicated family dynamics, and second chances.”—Deepa Varadarajan, author of Late Bloomers West Palm Beach, 1999. A phone call summons fifty-eight-year-old Cherie Anderson from a frozen Minnesota to help her two mothers: Dale, the mother who left her when she was five and is facing eviction from her budget-apartment complex, Soleil City, and Marlys, the mother who raised her from that moment on—and who’s now dying, but won’t admit it to her daughter. Cherie seeks a reason to stay in town long enough to give Dale the help she’s finally asked for and Marlys the help she clearly needs. And she must find a project to distract her pregnant daughter, Laura, whose marriage has fallen apart just weeks before her due date. The South Florida Senior Synchronized Swimming Competition seems to be the answer. The publicity from winning the contest, along with the ten-thousand-dollar prize money, could help save Soleil City. With Laura, who used to captain a dance team, as their coach, they’ve got a fighting chance. And with everyone else preoccupied by the competition, Cherie can focus on saving Marlys before it’s too late. Over the course of a month in an apartment complex filled with feisty, funny, strong-willed women in their seventies, four women who make up an uneasy family will realize that in life, and motherhood, there isn’t good and bad. There’s only trying to get it right. Sarah C.

Title: The Heart in Winter: A Novel Author: Kevin Barry Narrator: Kevin Barry Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 54 minutes Release date: July 9, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.33 of Total 3 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK: THE LA TIMES, THE GUARDIAN, AND MORE! • Award-winning writer Kevin Barry’s first novel set in America, a savagely funny and achingly romantic tale of young lovers on the lam in 1890s Montana. 'A wedding of Cormac McCarthy with Flann O’Brien; a western but also the most Irish of novels; a tragedy written as farce . . . inspiring joy with every incident, every concept, every sentence.'— The Guardian October 1891. A hard winter approaches across the Rocky Mountains. The city of Butte, Montana is rich on copper mines and rampant with vice and debauchery among a hard-living crowd of immigrant Irish workers. Here we find Tom Rourke, a young poet and ballad-maker of the town, but also a doper, a drinker, and a fearsome degenerate. Just as he feels his life is heading nowhere fast, Polly Gillespie arrives in town as the new bride of the extremely devout mine captain Long Anthony Harrington. A thunderbolt love affair takes spark between Tom and Polly and they strike out west on a stolen horse, moving through the badlands of Montana and Idaho, and briefly an idyll of wild romance perfects itself. But a posse of deranged Cornish gunmen are soon in hot pursuit and closing in fast. With everything to lose and the safety and anonymity of San Francisco still a distant speck on their horizon, the choices they make will haunt them for the rest of their lives. In this love story for the ages—lyrical, profane and propulsive—Kevin Barry has once again demonstrated himself to be a master stylist, an unrivalled humourist, and a true poet of the human heart.

Beautiful, one of a kind and perfectly titled.” —Matt Berninger, The National “Anyone’s Ghost is about so very many things: the pains of growing up, friendship and pining, drugs, sex, the frustrations of masculinity and the thrill of testing death itself. But more than any of that, it is an overwhelmingly beautiful love story. This book will make you cry.” —Jonathan Safran Foer An extraordinary debut novel in which the transforming love and friendship between two young men during one unforgettable teenage summer in rural New England haunts them into adulthood It took three car crashes to kill Jake. Theron David Alden is there for the first two: the summer they meet in rural New Hampshire, when he’s fifteen and anxious, and Jake’s seventeen and a natural; then six years later in New York City, those too-short, ecstatic, painful nights that change both their lives forever—the end of the dream and the longing for the dream and the dream itself, all at once. Theron is not there for the third crash. And yet, their story contains so much joy and self-discovery: the glorious, stupid simplicity of a boyhood joke; the devastation of insecurity; the way a great song can distill a universe; the limits of what we can know about each other; the mysterious, porous, ungraspable fault line between yourself and the person you love better than yourself; the beautiful, toxic elixir of need and hope and want. Brimming with rare, radioactive talent, August Thompson has written a love story that is electrically alive and exquisitely tuned.

The haunting title story recalls the journey of two men who meet around a piano in a smoky, dim bar, only to spend a summer walking the Maine woods collecting folk songs in the shadow of the First World War, forever marked by the odyssey. Decades later, in another story, a woman discovers the wax cylinders recorded that fateful summer while cleaning out her new house in Maine. Shattuck’s inventive, exquisite stories transport readers from 1700s Nantucket to the contemporary woods of New Hampshire and beyond—into landscapes both enduring and unmistakably modern. Memories, artifacts, paintings, and journals resurface in surprising and poignant ways among evocative beaches, forests, and orchards, revealing the secrets, misunderstandings, and love that linger across centuries. Written with breathtaking humanity and humor, The History of Sound is a love letter to New England, a radiant conversation between past and present, and a moving meditation on the abiding search for home.

Title: Lo Fi: A Novel Author: Liz Riggs Narrator: Jesse Vilinsky Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 29 minutes Release date: July 9, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: “Swoony, sexy, and melancholy. . . a tattered love letter to youth, music, and Nashville.” —Daisy Alpert Florin, author of My Last Innocent Year In the sweaty music clubs and late-night house parties of Nashville, an aspiring songwriter tries to make friends, find love, and write songs—without losing herself Most nights, you’ll find Alison Hunter at The Venue, the kind of sweaty Nashville spot that’s on the circuit for bands like Bon Iver and Death Cab. Sounds glamorous—but not for Al, who stamps hands at the door with Julien, the quiet coworker who treats her like a little sister. When she can sneak off, she bums drinks from the tattooed bartender and watches the bands, wondering if she’ll ever finish a song of her own after her disastrous attempt to play in public. When a once-in-a-century storm hits and her lead singer ex-boyfriend shows up at the door, Al finds herself stuck in a perpetual cycle of late nights, new flings, and old flames. Obsessed with the disappearance of a troubled indie star, she slowly starts to lose it herself—until one reckless night threatens to derail everything. As propulsive and sexy as the rasp of a static-driven amp, Lo Fi is an openhearted tribute to the messy truth of the creative life, the clash of lust and love, and the yearning to be heard.

Title: Whoever You Are, Honey: A Novel Author: Olivia Gatwood Narrator: Olivia Gatwood Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 7 minutes Release date: July 9, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: What happens when what was once considered dystopia is now reality? This darkly brilliant debut novel explores how women shape themselves beneath the gaze of love, friendship, and the algorithm—“a fever dream for the AI age” (People). “This book reads like a thriller, but it's also a tender and searching exploration of what it means to inhabit a female body.”—Kelly Link, author of The Book of Love A TIME AND VOGUE BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR Mitty can’t quite make out the expression on Lena’s face, but she doesn’t look distressed. She looks like nothing at all. She looks like the beginning, before thoughts, a white hallway with no doors, a room so long your voice disappears before it can echo. On the Santa Cruz, California, waterfront, every house is a flawless glass monolith. Except for one. In a dilapidated bungalow, Mitty and her elderly roommate, Bethel, are the oddball pair who represent the last vestiges of a free-spirited town taken over by the tech elite. But their lives are about to be forever changed when a new couple, Sebastian and Lena, move in next door.    Sebastian is a renowned tech founder and Lena is his spellbindingly perfect girlfriend. But Lena has secrets; she feels uneasy about her oddly spotty memory and is growing increasingly wary of the way Sebastian controls their relationship. Mitty is also hiding something, and the way Lena appears to float through her luxurious life draws Mitty inexorably into her orbit. As the two women begin to form a close friendship, they are finally forced to face their pasts—and the urgent truths that could change everything.    Showcasing Olivia Gatwood’s talent as an essential author for our hyper-digital age, Whoever You Are, Honey is a gripping, seductive, and prescient novel that dissects relationships between women and examines how striving for perfection and desirability plays out in spaces where technology and power intersect.

LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2024 A POWERFUL NEW NOVEL FROM THE PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING AND BOOKER-SHORTLISTED AUTHOR OF THE OVERSTORY AND BEWILDERMENT Rafi and Todd are two polar opposites at an elite high school where they bond over a three-thousand-year-old board game. It sets them up for life: Rafi will get lost in literature, while Todd’s work will lead to a startling AI breakthrough. Elsewhere, Evie Beaulieu sinks to the bottom of a swimming pool in Montreal strapped to one of the world’s first aqualungs; Ina Aroita grows up in naval bases across the Pacific with art as her only home. All of these people meet on the history-scarred island of Makatea in French Polynesia, marked for humanity’s next great adventure: a plan to send floating, autonomous cities out into the open sea. As the seasteaders close in, how will Evie play the ever-unfolding oceanic game? Will Ina engage in acts of destruction? Todd and Rafi, now estranged, still find themselves in competition: Todd unravels while working on an idea to redraw the boundaries of human immortality, while Rafi and the residents must decide if they will greenlight the new project on their shores and change their home forever. Set in the world’s largest ocean, Playground explores that last wild place we have yet to colonize and interweaves profound themes of technology and the environment, and a deep exploration of our shared humanity in a way only Richard Powers can. 'Is there anything Richard Powers cannot write? The world here is complete, seductive, and promising. The writing feels like the ocean. Vast, mysterious, deep and alive' PERCIVAL EVERETT 'An extraordinarily immersive journey through lives linked in mysterious ways - gripping, alarming and uplifting' EMMA DONOGHUE ‘Powers is a master of taking important topics of our times – from threats to our oceans and climate change to AI – and turning them into riveting and fiercely relevant books imbued with psychological insight and a deep awe for nature.

Some families are virtually perfect… The world's population is soaring, creating overcrowded cities and an economic crisis. And in the UK, the breaking point has arrived.

For a monthly subscription fee, clients can create a virtual child from scratch who they can access via the metaverse and a VR headset. To launch this new initiative, the company behind Virtual Children has created a reality TV show called The Substitute. It will follow ten couples as they raise a virtual child from birth to the age of eighteen but in a condensed nine-month time period. The prize: the right to keep their virtual child, or risk it all for the chance of a real baby… Set in the same universe as John Marrs's bestselling novel The One and The Marriage Act, The Family Experiment is a dark and twisted thriller about the ultimate Tamagotchi—a virtual baby.

His quest spirals into increasing violence, bloodshed, and hallucinations as he moves west through the confusion and chaos of the city. Using the tropes of both the Western and the disaster movie, Soldiers, Hunters, Not Cowboys looks at the violence of our contemporary masculinity, and its deep roots in shaping our culture. A suspenseful and thought-provoking evocation of our current moment. “Ask the right questions and a conversation about the movies becomes a conversation about your life, family, past, and everything you value: Aaron Tucker’s novel, which starts chatty before turning deeply, unexpectedly inward, grasps the ceaseless, sometimes terrible relevance of violence and troubling art.” – Naben Ruthnum, author of A Hero of Our Time “In Soldiers, Hunters, Not Cowboys, Aaron Tucker refuses the easy projections of masculinity from film history. Instead he gallops into the screen to sift out how drama collaborates with the bloodiest of truths. That this novel shifts from dialogical treatise into a thriller proves that Tucker is well on his way to stealing the weird fiction mantle away from Don DeLillo.” — Emily Schultz, author of The Blondes and Little Threats “Sad, smart, innocent and wise. A relentless retelling of a movie and a life, full of hope, if there is any.” — John Haskell, author of The Complete Ballet: A Fictional Essay in Five Acts Aaron Tucker Tue, 10 Oct 2023 12:30:50 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/721175 thebookvoice.com 5:10:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/721175]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: A Christmas Carol Author: Charles Dickens Narrator: The Lantern, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 29 minutes Release date: October 23, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: In the heart of London, during a chilly Christmas Eve, a tale of redemption and the transformative power of goodwill unfolds in Charles Dickens' timeless masterpiece, 'A Christmas Carol.' The story introduces us to Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly old man who values wealth above all else and has long abandoned the joy and compassion of the holiday season. Scrooge is visited by the spirit of his long-deceased business partner, Jacob Marley. Marley, condemned to an eternity of torment for his own avarice in life, arrives weighed down by heavy chains made of cashboxes, ledgers, and padlocks, a grim testament to the price of a selfish existence. Marley warns Scrooge that he, too, is bound for a similar fate unless he changes his ways. To aid in this transformation, Scrooge will be visited by three more spirits: the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present, and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. The story's power lies in the journey of Ebenezer Scrooge, as he confronts his own misdeeds and awakens to the true spirit of Christmas. As he witnesses the lives of those around him, his icy heart begins to thaw. The Cratchit family's humble celebration, despite their meager means, touches him deeply, and he is especially moved by the vulnerability of Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchit's ailing son. Scrooge's transformation culminates when he is confronted with the vision of his own lonely death, unloved and unmissed. Filled with remorse and newfound understanding, he implores the spirit for a second chance, a chance to change his ways and embrace the spirit of giving, love, and compassion that embodies the true essence of Christmas. 'A Christmas Carol' serves as a timeless reminder that it is never too late to change, to find the joy in life's simplest pleasures, and to share the wealth of kindness and goodwill with those around us, especially during the holiday season.

Title: 200 Anniversary Collection Author: Charles Dickens Narrator: The Lantern, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 22 minutes Release date: October 23, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: The Charles Dickens 200th Anniversary Collection comprises short works, fiction, essays, poetry, letters, magazine articles and speeches. Here is a wonderful potpourri of all genres and periods of his writing. This first volume was released on Dickens' 200th birthday, February 7th 2012. This precious audio work includes short stories including, amongst others, The Holly Tree, the first part of Holiday Romance and three pieces from Mugby Junction. Some items requiring a little further explanation are Prince Bull, written as a fairy tale, but in reality a scathing attack on the Government's handling of supplies to the troops in the Crimean War; Old Lamps for New Ones in which Dickens makes clear his low opinion of the ethos of the Pre-Raphaelite school of painting; and Frauds on the Fairies, a polemic against George Cruikshank's bowdlerization of fairy tales for moralistic purposes, and the interesting revelation that 'product placement' is by no means a new phenomenon.

Title: The Tamarind Tree Author: Sundara Ramaswamy Narrator: Amol Shah Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 31 minutes Release date: November 15, 2022 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Sundara Ramaswamy’s modern classic, translated from Tamil, is a simply stunning reflection about shared histories, loss, an affinity for nature, and a near-mythic center of life in a village in India. While it lived, the tamarind tree stood at the crossroads of a small village in Southern India. For more than fifty years it was a benevolent observer, offering shade without discrimination. It bore witness to laughter and tears, to tragedy and simple pleasures, and to the history of the village itself as it transformed from the old ways of bullock-led carts to a bustling community of social, political, economic, and ecological change. And for Damodara Asan, an enigmatic philosopher, memory keeper, and master storyteller, the tamarind tree—and everything it inspired—was an endless source of tales that enthralled generations. Unfolding through the bittersweet remembrances of an unnamed narrator who was once beguiled by Asan, The Tamarind Tree is a beautiful and universal story about transition, the compromises of progress, and a long-gone though undying symbol of indestructible dignity, culture, and life.

Title: An Honorable Exit Author: éric Vuillard Narrator: Malcolm Hillgartner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 36 minutes Release date: December 26, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: From the award-winning author of The Order of the Day, a piercing account of the lesser-known conflict preceding the Vietnam War that dealt a fatal blow to French colonialism. How can a modern army lose to an army of peasants? Delving into the last gasps of the First Indochina War, which saw the communist Viêt Minh take control of North Vietnam, Éric Vuillard vividly illustrates the attitudes that both enabled French colonialist abuses and ultimately led to their defeat and withdrawal. From the Michelin rubber plantation, where horrific working conditions sparked an epidemic of suicides, to the battlefield, a sense of superiority over the 'yellow men' pervaded European and American forces. And, as with so many conflicts throughout history, there were key actors with a motivation deeper than nationalism or political ideology—greed. An Honorable Exit not only brings to life scenes from the war, but also looks beyond the visceral reality on the ground to the colder calculations of those who seek to benefit from conflict, whether shrewd bankers, who can turn a military win or loss into financial gain, or intelligence operatives like the CIA, who aim to influence governments across the globe. éric Vuillard Tue, 26 Dec 2023 12:30:50 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/720296 thebookvoice.com 3:36:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/720296]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Still True Author: Maggie Ginsberg Narrator: Amy Melissa Bentley Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 48 minutes Release date: December 26, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 2 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: One summer evening, Lib Hanson is confronted by her painful past when Matt Marlow, the forty-year-old son she abandoned as an infant, shows up on her porch. Fiercely independent, Lib has never revealed her son's existence—or her previous marriage—to her husband, Jack. Married nearly three decades but living in separate houses (to the confusion but acceptance of their neighbors), they enjoy an ease and comfort together in small-town Anthem, Wisconsin. But Jack is a stickler for honesty, and Lib's long-dormant secret threatens to unravel their lives. When ten-year-old Charlie Taylor arrives at Jack's workshop shortly thereafter, he's not the first kid in town to need help with a flat tire, and Jack gladly makes the repair to his bike. The Taylors are new to Anthem, and Jack soon discovers that Charlie and his mom, Claire, are struggling to fit in, even as Charlie's dad, Dan, is thriving in his new job. Extending friendship and kindness, as well as introductions around the local café, Jack assumes a grandfatherly role. What he doesn't see is the drinking that Claire hides from everyone, or the secret son that Lib has allowed to move into her house and the growing attraction between Claire and Matt. When the terrible events of a fateful evening threaten everyone's carefully crafted lives, they must each determine the value of truth for the ones they love.

Title: River Meets the Sea: A Novel Author: Rachael Moorthy Narrator: Braden Wright Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 37 minutes Release date: February 20, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: A spellbinding, spirited tale of two men exploring masculinity, race, and belonging in a desperate search to feel at home in their own skins. An enthralling nautical epic, River Meets the Sea traces the dual timelines of a white-passing Indigenous foster child in 1940s Vancouver and a teenage immigrant in the suburbs of Nanaimo in the 1970s. A natural-born storyteller, Ronny is a left-handed 'alley mutt' without a birth certificate who searches for his mother everywhere—most powerfully, he hears her voice in the surging Stó:lo River. Born in the middle of the ocean on a merchant ship departing Sri Lanka, Chandra is a Tamil boy with 'skin like a charred eggplant' who finds his haven from the pressure to assimilate by swimming and surfing in the Salish Sea. Moving gracefully between these parallel stories like a wave, the novel traces the seemingly separate lives of these sensitive young men and their everlasting connections to water. When their troubled paths inevitably cross, they form a sacred bond based on the mutual understanding of what it means to be othered, illuminating the interconnectedness of humanity and our innate relationship with the natural world.

An enthralling nautical epic, River Meets the Sea traces the dual timelines of a white-passing Indigenous foster child in 1940s Vancouver and a teenage immigrant in the suburbs of Nanaimo in the 1970s. A natural-born storyteller, Ronny is a left-handed 'alley mutt' without a birth certificate who searches for his mother everywhere—most powerfully, he hears her voice in the surging Stó:lo River. Born in the middle of the ocean on a merchant ship departing Sri Lanka, Chandra is a Tamil boy with 'skin like a charred eggplant' who finds his haven from the pressure to assimilate by swimming and surfing in the Salish Sea. Moving gracefully between these parallel stories like a wave, the novel traces the seemingly separate lives of these sensitive young men and their everlasting connections to water. When their troubled paths inevitably cross, they form a sacred bond based on the mutual understanding of what it means to be othered, illuminating the interconnectedness of humanity and our innate relationship with the natural world. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/720135 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/720135]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: [German] - Noels Tagebuch Author: Richard Paul Evans Narrator: Oliver Wronka Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 36 minutes Release date: November 20, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Seit fast 20 Jahren war der Autor Jacob Churcher nicht mehr zu Hause nicht seit seine psychisch kranke Mutter ihn mit 16 Jahren rausgeworfen hat. Als er ein paar Tage vor Weihnachten erfährt, dass seine Mutter gestorben ist und ihm das Haus überlassen hat, kehrt Jacob an den Ort seiner Kindheit zurück, um sich mit der Vergangenheit zu versöhnen. Dabei findet er ein Tagebuch, das eine junge Frau namens Noel hinterlassen hat, und erfährt, dass sie während ihrer Schwangerschaft bei seiner Familie gelebt hat. Als er auf Rachel trifft, die nach ihrer Mutter sucht, die sie vor 30 Jahren zur Adoption freigegeben hat, machen sie sich gemeinsam auf die Suche nach Noel. Unterwegs finden sie mehr, als sie sich vorgestellt haben: die Fähigkeit zu vergeben und die Chance auf Liebe. Richard Paul Evans erzählt die herzerwärmende Geschichte eines Mannes, der das beste Weihnachtsgeschenk erhält, das er sich wünschen kann: die Möglichkeit, die Vergangenheit neu zu schreiben.
