Title: The Broken Vow: Utterly gripping and emotional historical fiction Series: #2 of The Fitznortons Author: Luisa A. Jones Narrator: Bronwen Price Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 51 minutes Release date: January 22, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Marriage was what Charlotte had been brought up to. After all, it provided a happy ending for all the heroines in the novels she sometimes read. So it would be for her… right? Born into luxury, Charlotte Fitznorton has always known a life filled with lavish parties and a line of suitors, all part of a future neatly laid out for her by her father, Sir Lucien. She is to marry well and continue the line at Plas Norton, the family seat. When Eustace Chadwycke – son of a viscount – proposes just before leaving to fight in France, it seems Charlotte’s destiny is perfectly falling into place. Then, tragedy strikes. Her father dies unexpectedly, and her future hangs in the balance – threatened by her hated stepmother Rosamund's surprise pregnancy. News of Eustace, returning from the war broken by its horrors, leaves Charlotte fearing her engagement may be as fragile as her inheritance. Determined to at least save her impending marriage, Charlotte pours her energy into turning Plas Norton into a healing place for Eustace and other war-weary soldiers. But small-minded townspeople, a bossy head nurse, and her newborn baby sister's arrival push Charlotte to her limits. Just as hope is slipping through her fingers, a mysterious stranger arrives at Plas Norton. This newcomer holds the power to upend everything Charlotte has fought to preserve. Will she have the strength to protect her legacy, or could this unexpected visitor awaken a desire in Charlotte for a different life altogether?

Title: The Baker's Secret: Absolutely gripping and heartbreaking World War Two historical fiction Author: Lelita Baldock Narrator: Taryn Ryan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 23 minutes Release date: January 25, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: In Nazi-occupied Latvia, two sisters are forced to make an impossible choice. To save a child, one sister must flee, while the other must stay behind. The secret of what happens next will endure for generations. But the truth won’t stay hidden forever... Riga, 1943. Cycling the streets to deliver fresh loaves, Zenta passes empty houses, curtains open, doors unlocked, their occupants forced out by Russian or German hands. Above the newly built town hall, a Nazi flag waves in the breeze. Since her brother became a soldier and her sister joined the resistance, Zenta is all her parents have left. Then one morning her sister returns. Tired, worn, with a newly rounded belly, Estere is as determined as ever to fight for their freedom. She convinces Zenta to join the Latvian resistance efforts and use her bread deliveries as a cover for smuggling letters, newspapers and supplies. When the bell over the bakery door chimes and German officers cross the threshold, Estere pleads with her sister to run – and to take her new-born daughter with her. An agreement between sisters made in the desperation of war sends Zenta to a new life across the world, a baby at her side, with a secret she’ll never tell. Until, decades later, now a grandmother, the smells and warmth of the bakery still in her heart, Zenta is finally ready to set the truth free... An emotional and heartbreaking tale of sacrifice, courage and love that spotlights the resilience of women in the Second World War. Perfect for readers of Kristin Hannah, Fiona Valpy and Kelly Rimmer.

Title: Bindle Punk Jefe: A Novel Author: Desideria Mesa Narrator: Frankie Corzo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 46 minutes Release date: October 29, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: From award-winning author Desideria Mesa comes the glittering sequel to Bindle Punk Bruja in which Earth witch Rose (Luna) Lane’s secret life comes to a breaking point as outside threats lurk—perfect for fans of Trouble the Saints by Alaya Dawn Johnson, Libba Bray’s The Diviners, and Chloe Gong’s These Violent Delights duology. Prohibition is in full swing, and the glamorous life of upper-class Kansas City is everything Rose (Luna) Lane ever hoped it would be. Being married to her best friend isn’t so bad either, considering their agreement to keep their real love lives out of the public eye. However, try as she might to continue her life of anonymity, her popularity as a land developer’s wife—and as a successful club owner—draws even more attention to her personal endeavors. Soon, the balancing act between the life of Luna and Rose becomes a full-time job itself, making visiting home harder than ever before. However, her haven, which once offered a place of acceptance, is growing more hostile. Her community of brujas criticizes her methods of using magic for economic and social gain while consorting with nefarious witches of the North. Meanwhile, the Pendergast Machine is running at full force, pushing his will and money all over the city. Keeping her true identity and powers a secret while posing for the society papers gets all the more dangerous as new enemies start to question her origins…and old ones creep up from dark realms. The pressure could force Rose to do questionable things for the greater good, distancing herself from her loved ones and who she wants to be. She may have mastered her earth magic, but she still has a lot to learn about the heart… Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Title: [Spanish] - El camarada Jorge y el Dragón Author: Rafael Dumett Narrator: Hugo Salazar Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 15 minutes Release date: December 22, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: 'A nadie le importa cómo entras a la Historia, Shito. Si por la puerta de adelante, la de atrás o la del costado. Eso sí, una vez que ya estás adentro, nadie te saca' Deportado cinco veces por cuatro presidentes peruanos, sospechoso de haber estado involucrado en tres golpes de estado en el Perú y uno en el extranjero, Eudocio Ravines, figura ácida y rutilante en la historia latinoamericana del siglo XX, aparece por doquiera que uno escarbe, conspirando, denunciando, polemizando, escaldando y sacando de quicio. Después de una relación estrecha y dramática con Víctor Raúl Haya de la Torre y José Carlos Mariátegui, abandona sus roles de comisario político de alto nivel en la Internacional Comunista para combatir la ideología que antes defendía férreamente, y convertirse en caja de resonancia de la propaganda de la CIA. El camarada Jorge y el Dragón, el primer volumen de una saga en torno a su figura, recrea sus años infantiles y juveniles en su turbulenta Cajamarca natal, al amparo de las mujeres de la familia y de su tío, el coronel Belisario Ravines, héroe de la guerra del Pacífico y principal autoridad local de gobierno. Luego del éxito de El Espía del Inca, Rafael Dumett vuelve a sorprender con esta novela histórica de aprendizaje, en que usa magistralmente la ficción para diluirse por completo en la vida del controvertido Eudocio Ravines, pieza fundamental para calibrar los subterráneos de la historia peruana y global del siglo pasado, que ya muestran ecos imprevistos en el presente.

Si por la puerta de adelante, la de atrás o la del costado. Eso sí, una vez que ya estás adentro, nadie te saca' Deportado cinco veces por cuatro presidentes peruanos, sospechoso de haber estado involucrado en tres golpes de estado en el Perú y uno en el extranjero, Eudocio Ravines, figura ácida y rutilante en la historia latinoamericana del siglo XX, aparece por doquiera que uno escarbe, conspirando, denunciando, polemizando, escaldando y sacando de quicio. Después de una relación estrecha y dramática con Víctor Raúl Haya de la Torre y José Carlos Mariátegui, abandona sus roles de comisario político de alto nivel en la Internacional Comunista para combatir la ideología que antes defendía férreamente, y convertirse en caja de resonancia de la propaganda de la CIA. El camarada Jorge y el Dragón, el primer volumen de una saga en torno a su figura, recrea sus años infantiles y juveniles en su turbulenta Cajamarca natal, al amparo de las mujeres de la familia y de su tío, el coronel Belisario Ravines, héroe de la guerra del Pacífico y principal autoridad local de gobierno.

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: 4.8 of Total 5 Genres: LGBTQ+ 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 08:27:37 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.

I couldn't look away.”—Alix E. Harrow, New York Times bestselling author of Starling House A CRIMEREADS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR The Lady knows the stories: how her eyes induce madness in men. The Lady knows she will be wed to the Scottish brute, who does not leave his warrior ways behind when he comes to the marriage bed. The Lady knows his hostile, suspicious court will be a game of strategy, requiring all of her wiles and hidden witchcraft to survive.

Title: Columbia Author: Pamela Jekel Narrator: Michael Reaves Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 20 hours 54 minutes Release date: November 15, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: The scope of Columbia--the first epic saga of our country's final courageous thrust into the continental unknown, the Pacific Northwest--is as massive as the Columbia River itself. The story begins nine thousand years ago, when the river was new, and unfolds in a magnificent family portrait spanning five generations, from the end of the eighteenth century to the present. At the head of ancient family is Ilchee, a Chinook Indian princess married to a white trader, who founds a dynasty of rare courage; Caleb, her son, who must learn to live in the white world of Fort Vancouver; Suzanna, who makes the arduous trip across the continent, battling humiliation, death, and even love; Isaac, their son who builds a logging empire only to discover that destiny, not timber, is king; Ning Ho, Isaac's Chinese mistress, who teaches him even more of life than of pleasure; and finally Will, who rejects his father's vision to power his own--the building of the Grand Coolie Dam--and Leona, his wife,, whose secret threatens to destroy everything the family has worked to create. Columbia is a rich, vivid canvas of heroes and scoundrels, of men and women and their dreams of land, gold, timber, salmon, and power--dreams that begin when a nomad hunter kills a mastodon and ends with an archaeology team working frantically to uncover evidence of that kill before the Columbia's waters rise to cover the past forever--and a family destiny that proves 'some things must be believed to be seen.' Pamela Jekel is a nationally-known novelist with four NY Times bestsellers, twelve novels that have been translated into sixteen languages, including Braille, Large Print Editions, and Kindle. Library Journal hailed Columbia as 'a well-researched novel of drama and passion', and 'historical fiction at its best.' Publishers Weekly praised its heroine as 'a living breathing, three-dimensional character.' Winner of the Southwest Historical Fiction award.

Title: An Ocean of Courage and Fear Author: Jerry Borrowman Narrator: Traber Burns Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 46 minutes Release date: May 7, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Based on survivor accounts, this gripping novel opens days after the attack on Pearl Harbor and details three years of sea battles that spanned between Hawaii and the shores of Okinawa with the crew of one of the most decorated ships of the Pacific War. Onboard the heavy cruiser USS Salt Lake City, Lieutenant Commander Justin Collier was 230 miles west of Pearl Harbor accompanying the USS Enterprise on a secret mission when Japan attacked the United States. Upon his return to Honolulu, the gravity of the war begins to change him, as does every subsequent mission, including a rare beach landing with an Army infantry division. He fears his wounds of war, both physical and mental, will be incurable. Meanwhile, on the day of the attack on Pearl Harbor, hundreds of wounded men lay scattered in cots and stretchers in and around the naval hospital, and volunteer nurse Heidi Collier feels overwhelmed by the number of casualties. She had watched the bombing by Japanese planes as she huddled with her two children in front of their home, hoping that her husband aboard the USS Salt Lake City was safe wherever he was. In her prayers, she feels he is still alive. Lieutenant Riley Bracken feels the sudden g-force of his catapult-launched observation floatplane with each harrowing mission. Alerting the USS Salt Lake City of enemy ships gives him purpose, which is why no one can know about his recent bouts of vertigo. He can’t risk losing what he loves most. Fifteen-year-old Al Jowdy lied about his age in order to join the Navy. Whatever he believed Navy life would be was shot out of the water—twice—when his ships were torpedoed.

Title: An Ocean of Courage and Fear Author: Jerry Borrowman Narrator: Traber Burns Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 46 minutes Release date: May 7, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Based on survivor accounts, this gripping novel opens days after the attack on Pearl Harbor and details three years of sea battles that spanned between Hawaii and the shores of Okinawa with the crew of one of the most decorated ships of the Pacific War. Onboard the heavy cruiser USS Salt Lake City, Lieutenant Commander Justin Collier was 230 miles west of Pearl Harbor accompanying the USS Enterprise on a secret mission when Japan attacked the United States. Upon his return to Honolulu, the gravity of the war begins to change him, as does every subsequent mission, including a rare beach landing with an Army infantry division. He fears his wounds of war, both physical and mental, will be incurable. Meanwhile, on the day of the attack on Pearl Harbor, hundreds of wounded men lay scattered in cots and stretchers in and around the naval hospital, and volunteer nurse Heidi Collier feels overwhelmed by the number of casualties. She had watched the bombing by Japanese planes as she huddled with her two children in front of their home, hoping that her husband aboard the USS Salt Lake City was safe wherever he was. In her prayers, she feels he is still alive. Lieutenant Riley Bracken feels the sudden g-force of his catapult-launched observation floatplane with each harrowing mission. Alerting the USS Salt Lake City of enemy ships gives him purpose, which is why no one can know about his recent bouts of vertigo. He can’t risk losing what he loves most. Fifteen-year-old Al Jowdy lied about his age in order to join the Navy. Whatever he believed Navy life would be was shot out of the water—twice—when his ships were torpedoed. Now aboard the Salt Lake City, he fears his luck may have run out.

Title: Medusa Author: Nataly Gruender Narrator: Helen Laser Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 17 minutes Release date: August 13, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: An intimate look into the life of a legendary mythical villain who has so often been stripped of her voice and humanity in this debut novel, perfect for fans of Madeline Miller’s Circe and the works of Jennifer Saint. You know how Medusa’s story ends, but you’ve never heard her tell her own story… until now.   The only mortal daughter of two sea gods, and a priestess of Athena, Medusa was a woman who thought she had found her place in the world. But when Medusa suffers a horrific violation at the hands of Poseidon, Athena is outraged over the desecration of her name and sends a message by transforming Medusa into the snake-haired monster of legend. With one look, any who meet her gaze is turned to stone. Word of her monstrosity travels fast, igniting a king’s fear so greatly that he commands the boy-hero Perseus to bring him her head. With a power that will spare no one, Medusa begins to wonder if this is a blessing or a curse. Medusa only knows that she must leave the city she has come to call home before she harms another soul.  Searching for a haven free from mortals, anger buoying her every step, Medusa journeys across ancient Greece. Her eyes are hidden beneath a blindfold, with nothing but the snakes for company. Through her travels, Medusa discovers solace and understanding in the mythical figures she stumbles upon: A debaucherous wine god, an alluring nymph, and a three-headed dog. But one cannot escape fate forever. As Perseus closes in, Medusa faces a choice: become the monster everyone expects her to be, or cling to the last piece of her humanity.

In a bid to outrun her past, Carrie Ballentyne accepts a nursing position with a doctor in the New Mexico Territory.

Title: The Exile Author: Patrick Worrall Narrator: Olivia Vinall Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 36 minutes Release date: July 25, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. It's 1951 and the servants of Stalin are closing in on the occupied nations of eastern Europe. As the Red Army tightens the net, Greta - best and bravest of freedom fighters - is told to escape to the West and undertake a dangerous mission. Greta's task is to find a missing girl: the precious daughter of a partisan general who was sent into exile in the final days of the war. But the so-called Free World is no place for vulnerable young refugees. Europe is in ruins, the old Empires are dying, and a spectacular cast of spivs, gangsters and rival intelligence agencies are fighting over the scraps. Crossing the Iron Curtain will require nerves of steel as Greta faces down the French mob, ex-Nazis, Soviet spies, all the glamour and temptation of Paris and ultimately, her own demons. The Exile is the stunning prequel to The Partisan, Patrick Worrall's critically-acclaimed debut, which introduced the world to the force of nature that is Greta. This is her white-knuckle ride into the black heart of postwar Europe - a terrifying world in which allies and enemies are impossible to tell apart. Praise for The Partisan 'Fast-paced, intriguing and deeply atmospheric' Tom Bradby 'Remarkedly assured debut ... the advent of a real talent...One to watch' Sunday Times 'Impressive ... The scene-setting is finely detailed and evocative, the characters skilfully drawn' Financial Times 'Immersive, intriguing, and intelligent - incredibly impressive, up there with the best in the genre' Lee Child © Patrick Worrall 2024 (P) Penguin Audio 2024 Patrick Worrall Thu, 25 Jul 2024 08:27:37 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/733687 thebookvoice.com 13:36:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/733687]]> to listen full audiobooks.

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: LGBTQ+ 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. We conclude with a pair of fascinating documentaries exploring the poet’s life and work. Searching for Alfred in the Shadow of Tennyson sees Ruth Padel investigating the man behind the image, while In Our Time: Tennyson’s In Memoriam finds Melvyn Bragg discussing the poet’s moving meditation on love and death.

Title: Brendan Behan: Borstal Boy, The Quare Fellow and The Hostage: Three BBC Radio Full-Cast Productions Author: Brendan Behan Narrator: Ann Callanan, Anne Kent, Brian Kidd, Michael Baguley, Louis Rolston, Leah Marks, Jonny Holden, Joseph Ayre, Gerard Mcdermott, Ewan Bailey, Samuel James, John Hewitt, Michael Duffy, Brendan Coyle, Full Cast Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 12 minutes Release date: March 7, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: A collection of some of the rockstar playwright’s finest work Brendan Behan is widely remembered as a hard-drinking, wise-cracking writer who turned up roaring drunk for interviews and cared little for authority. But he was more than just a hell-raising celebrity. His wit, expressive use of language and understanding of human nature made his writing famous around the world, and his masterpieces The Quare Fellow, Borstal Boy and The Hostage rank among the greatest works of 20th century Irish literature. Dramatisations of all three appear here, alongside a short interview with Behan himself and a fascinating biographical programme celebrating his genius. Charting Behan’s journey from shy, passionate young man to larger-than-life literary superstar, Borstal Boy tells the story of a stammering IRA rebel who finds true friends and first love in an English borstal. Brendan Coyle (Downton Abbey) stars as Behan in this fresh take on his honest, tender 1958 memoir. Behan’s debut play, The Quare Fellow, first produced in 1954, was based on his own prison experiences. A darkly funny drama about a group of inmates awaiting the imminent execution of a fellow prisoner, it is performed here by players from the Arts Theatre, Lyric Theatre, and Ulster Theatre Company, Belfast. And finally, translated from the Gaelic by acclaimed writer Lorcán Ó Treasaigh, An Giall (The Hostage) revolves around a British soldier held hostage by the IRA in a Dublin brothel. This 1988 Radio 3 version is the first English production of Behan’s Irish tragicomedy, which formed the basis of Joan Littlewood 's 1958 Theatre Workshop hit. Also included is a 1959 clip from BBC Television’s Tonight, featuring Brendan Behan in conversation with Derek Hart, and an episode of Great Lives in which Joan Littlewood talks to Humphrey Carpenter about her long-time friend and collaborator. Note: Due to the age of the recordings, the sound quality on The Quare Fellow and Tonight may vary.

Als sie am Abend nach der Beerdigung im verwaisten Büro überlegt, dieses aufzulösen, stürmt eine Frau herein und beauftragt sie mit der Suche nach ihrer verschwundenen Freundin. Diese ist Tänzerin im Cabaret Voltaire, der Wiege der DADA-Bewegung, wo auch die Auftraggeberin als Künstlerin arbeitet. Eigentlich will Josephine den Auftrag ablehnen. Doch dann wird die Künstlerin auf der Bühne des Kleintheaters von einem herabstürzenden Kulissenteil erschlagen, und Josephine glaubt als Einzige nicht an einen Unfall. Sie beginnt, auf eigene Faust zu ermitteln. Dabei bringt sie nicht nur sich selbst in Gefahr, sondern muss sich auch gegen alle Widerstände den Weg freikämpfen, als alleinstehende Frau ein unabhängiges Leben führen zu können. Die Autorin erzählt einen spannenden historischen Kriminalfall, der durch seinen aktuellen Bezug überrascht. Gleichzeitig zeichnet sie ein authentisches und atmosphärisch dichtes Bild des Lebens in Zürich vor hundert Jahren.

Dabei bringt sie nicht nur sich selbst in Gefahr, sondern muss sich auch gegen alle Widerstände den Weg freikämpfen, als alleinstehende Frau ein unabhängiges Leben führen zu können. Die Autorin erzählt einen spannenden historischen Kriminalfall, der durch seinen aktuellen Bezug überrascht. Gleichzeitig zeichnet sie ein authentisches und atmosphärisch dichtes Bild des Lebens in Zürich vor hundert Jahren. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/733543 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/733543]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: [Belarusian] - Альпійская балада Author: васіль быкаў Narrator: святлана цімохіна Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 44 minutes Release date: November 30, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: «Альпійская балада» — самая рамантычная і загадкавая аповесць Васіля Быкава і самая не быкаўская, бо расказвае не столькі пра вайну, сколькі пра каханне. Каханне беларуса Івана і італьянкі Джуліі. Прачытаўшы аповесць, Пімен Панчанка — галоўны рэдактар «Маладосці», дзе ўпершыню была надрукавана «Альпійская балада», — сказаў: «Канешне, усё тое — няпраўда, а верыцца. Значыць, гэта — мастацтва». Апублікаваўшы «Альпійскую баладу», Васіль Быкаў усё жыццё пасля сцвярджаў, што прататыпам галоўнай гераіні была італьянская дзяўчына Джулія, якую ён сустрэў у аўстрыйскіх Альпах у час вайны і якая шукала свайго Івана, але незадоўга да смерці пісьменнік засведчыў, што ніякага прататыпа не было, і Джулію ён прыдумаў. «Бунін піша ў дзённіку, што ўсе свае творы выдумаў. Баюся сабе прызнацца, але, мусіць, і я таксама. А пасля неяк сачыняў “гісторыю стварэння”, бо няёмка было прызнацца, што прыдумаў. Дый чытачам нецікава», — запісаў Быкаў у нататніку, які быў апублікаваны ўжо пасля ягонай смерці.

Title: [Belarusian] - Дажыць да світання Author: васіль быкаў Narrator: алена сідарава Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 12 minutes Release date: November 23, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Гэты твор упершыню быў апублікаваны пяцьдзесят гадоў таму. Крытыка, назваўшы яго аповесцю пра аднаго лейтэнанта Іваноўскага і яго барацьбу з неспрыяльнымі акалічнасцямі вайны, дадавала: пры ўсёй рэалістычнасці «Дажыць да світання» — яшчэ і легенда. Легенда пра невядомых герояў вайны. Сам Васіль Быкаў казаў па выхадзе аповесці: «Як вядома, на вайне выконваюцца загады старшых начальнікаў. І адказнасць за ўдачу або няўдачу ў пэўнай сітуацыі дзеліцца папалам паміж яе выканаўцам і кіраўніком. А тут выпадак, калі ініцыятарам аперацыі выступае сам выканаўца — малодшы афіцэр. Але ўся справа ў тым, што гэтая яго ініцыятыва канчаецца поўным фіяска. Вядома, Іваноўскі тут ні пры чым, можна апраўдаць яго, ён жа сумленна выканаў свой абавязак. Але сам Іваноўскі апраўдаць сябе не можа: аперацыя ж вымагала неймаверных сіл, за яе заплачана жыццём людзей, яго падначаленых. У гібелі Іваноўскага не вінаваты ніхто, ён сам сабе выбраў такі лёс, таму што быў надзелены высокай чалавечнасцю, якая не дазваляла яму ўхіліцца або схітрыць ні ў вялікім, ні ў малым». Ужо на схіле жыцця Быкаў характарызаваў сваю аповесць больш катэгарычна: «Тэма яе, здавалася, гучала даволі экзістэнцыяльна, то быў матыў тупіку і расчаравання — на той раз у пэўным канкрэтным сэнсе».

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: LGBTQ+ 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: LGBTQ+ 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.'

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: LGBTQ+ 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.'

Fickle, he called her, a mixture of surprise and confidence. She is all that and more, brought to life with the ink strokes of a genius. Spanish Netherlands, 1620s: raised by her father Lucas to know her mind, Antonia Vorsterman sees everything that goes on in her world - all the rivalries and jealousies that course through the artists' studios and workshops of Antwerp. Drawn into the lively household of the artist Peter Paul Rubens, whose work her father engraves for a living, Antonia begins to see a life of colour and possibility for herself - until Lucas entrusts her with a terrible secret that will alter the course of their family's future. Belgium, present day: haunted by the recent loss of her mother, art historian Charlotte Hubert moves to Antwerp to research her hero, the Baroque master Rubens, and to seek answers about the father she's never met. But a startling discovery hidden inside an ancient map folio turns Charlotte's quiet academic life into a dangerous hunt for long-lost treasures, missing for 400 years. In the shadowy cloisters of the university, where ambition, obsession and violence run deep, nothing is as it seems. Charlotte is certain of one thing - no one can be trusted. Centuries apart, Charlotte's and Antonia's lives intertwine as they unearth long-buried secrets about a master and his engraver where theft, betrayal and the fallout of family loyalty run rampant.

For the talented Antonia, it's the conflict between the magnificent artist, Peter Paul Rubens, and her frustrated engraver father that tears her life apart. Then, there's Charlotte, the brilliant Rubens' scholar, who stumbles upon a mystery protected for centuries - a mystery that will either augment her career or destroy it. This atmospheric, suspenseful tale, where the streets of seventeenth century and modern Antwerp come alive, is as gorgeously and deftly crafted as a Rubens masterpiece.' Karen Brooks, bestselling author of The Good Wife of Bath, The Brewer's Tale and The Escapades of Tribulation Johnson 'The Engraver's Secret enthralled me from its first lush sentence.

Title: [German] - Rosa und Leo - Die große Liebe der Rosa Luxemburg (Ungekürzte Lesung) Author: Charlotte Roth Narrator: Elisabeth Günther Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 22 minutes Release date: December 29, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Der faszinierende biografische Roman von Bestseller-Autorin Charlotte Roth erzählt von der großen, dramatischen Liebesgeschichte zwischen der Revolutionärin Rosa Luxemburg und Leo Jogiches. Rosa Luxemburg: Vordenkerin, Freiheitskämpferin und leidenschaftlich Liebende Warschau, 1889. Von klein auf träumt das Mädchen Rosa von einer besseren, gerechteren Welt und ist entschlossen, dafür zu kämpfen. Sie ist erst siebzehn, als sie mutterseelenallein vor der Miliz des Zaren in die Schweiz fliehen muss. In Zürich beginnt die hochgebildete junge Frau ein Studium und trifft auf Leo, der wie sie aus seiner Heimat fliehen musste und dafür glüht, für die Entrechteten der Welt zu kämpfen. Über das gemeinsame Ziel hinaus verbindet sie schon bald eine leidenschaftliche Liebe. Für die aber gibt es in den Stürmen ihrer gnadenlosen Epoche weder Zeit noch Raum ... Eine große Liebe in Zeiten des Aufruhrs: Mit ihrem emotional und mitreißend erzähltem historischen Roman über Rosa Luxemburg und Leo Jogiches hat Bestseller-Autorin Charlotte Roth mehr geschaffen als eine hoch spannende Roman-Biografie über eine unendlich mutige Frau: Ihr Porträt von Rosa Luxemburg lässt uns in eine dramatische Zeit großer politischer und sozialer Umwälzungen eintauchen - und einer Frau nahe kommen, die für ihre Werte genauso engagiert gekämpft hat wie um ihre Liebe.

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: LGBTQ+ 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.

Pierre hat viele Menschen getroffen – angenehme, aber auch unangenehme –, wurde von der Liebe überrascht und lernte den Wert echter Freundschaft kennen. Dabei entging er zahlreichen Versuchen des Kardinals Richelieu und auch seiner engsten Familienmitglieder, ihn ins Jenseits zu befördern, um sich sein Erbe anzueignen.

Title: [German] - Das Vergnügen - Angela Krauß liest (ungekürzt) Author: Angela Krauß Narrator: Angela Krauß Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 20 minutes Release date: December 19, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: 'Wohlüberlegt werden hier die Worte gesetzt, planvoll die Abschnitte zu Kapiteln und die Kapitel zu einem Tageslauf zusammengebaut. Und so hat Angela Krauß ein kleines großes Buch geschrieben', rühmt die Basler Zeitung das Erstlingswerk DAS VERGNÜGEN der in Leipzig lebenden Autorin. Die rhythmisch klare Prosa dieser DDR-Autorin dokumentiert einen privaten und einen offiziellen Jubiläumstag - gelebt von den Menschen in einer Brikettfabrik. Behutsam gestaltet Angela Krauß ein Ensemble farbiger Figuren. Die Menschen sind weder literarische Helden noch makellose Heroen der Arbeit, höchstens mehr oder weniger verdiente Genossen.

Title: The Spy Author: Suzanne Kamata Narrator: Alan Reinhardt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 49 minutes Release date: November 24, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Pearl Dubois was a Southern Belle. She was born in New Orleans to a prominent and wealthy family. She was also a magician...and a spy. During the Second World War, Pearl wanted to help the Allied effort. She got a job in the Office of Strategic Services, which later became the CIA. In September of 1944, she began working for William Donovan, the agency’s head. When she translated an important document that revealed the identities of the enemy’s spies, she saw a chance. Why shouldn’t she be the one to take the news to General Patton? Pearl and a willing colleague commandeered a jeep and set off to the dangerous world to find the general. On her way to deliver her precious documents, she saw the devastation of the French countryside by war. She and her companion encountered frightened farmers and their families. The enemy was always near at hand. And then her luck ran out. Captured by the Nazis, keeping her secrets close, this Southern Belle learned the price of espionage as well as patriotism. Her courage and quick wit came into play as well as her magic tricks! But how would she manage? Could she escape? Based on the story of the real-life experiences of Gertrude Sanford Legendre, the first woman to be captured as a spy during WWII, Pearl’s adventures are both inspiring and terrifying.

Title: The Beauties Author: Lauren Chater Narrator: Blazey Best Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 11 minutes Release date: April 2, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: An incomparable beauty. A promise to a king. A portrait that can never be completed. Longlisted for the 2024 ARA Historical Novel Prize When Emilia Lennox loses everything after her husband’s lands and title are confiscated, her beauty is her best bargaining chip with the only man who can restore their fortunes: King Charles II himself. But the king’s favour comes at a price. He will pardon Emilia’s husband only if she agrees to be his mistress. Torn, Emilia comes up with a condition of her own: she will consent, but not until her portrait hangs among the famed Windsor Beauties, a series commissioned by the Duchess of York to showcase the fairest women in the royal retinue. For Henry Greenhill, ambitious assistant to the court painter, the opportunity to paint Emilia’s portrait is a chance to step out of his master’s shadow. But his sitter proves as evasive as she is beautiful, and with barely a sketch to show for his efforts, Henry’s career is on the line. As the king’s patience wears thin, it’s clear that more than creative talent will be needed to capture this incomparable beauty on canvas ...   From the bestselling author of The Lace Weaver comes this seductive story of rivalry, artistic passion and a woman bold enough to wield her beauty as a weapon.

Title: [Spanish] - Por amor a la libertad: La historia real del judío que escapó de la Alemania nazi y se convirtió en agente secreto de Estados Unidos Author: Richard Pick Narrator: Erick Trujillo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 43 minutes Release date: December 7, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: La inspiradora historia de un superviviente de la Segunda Guerra Mundial Alemania, década de 1930. Los sueños y aspiraciones de la comunidad judía se ven truncados por el inminente estallido de la guerra. Entre ellos, los del adolescente Richard Pick, quien se verá obligado primero a separarse de sus padres y su querido hermano Lutz, y finalmente a emigrar. Richard acabará en Nueva York, donde poco después será reclutado por el ejército y enviado de vuelta a Europa, esta vez para luchar contra los nazis. A lo largo de todos esos años de huida y supervivencia, Richard mantendrá una relación epistolar con su amor de juventud, Lore. Tras muchas vicisitudes y promesas, logrará encontrarse con ella en México, casarse, formar una familia y emprender un próspero negocio, disfrutando así de una vida que ninguno de los dos podría haber imaginado jamás. Por amor a la libertad narra la singular vida de Richard Pick, superviviente de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y veterano de Normandía, desde una juventud acomodada en Alemania hasta su vida como refugiado y hombre de negocios en México. Pero es también una emotiva historia de amor, de redención y de esperanza, que nos deja un mensaje claro de confianza en el ser humano, en el futuro y en la libertad. «Richard Pick escapó de la guerra en Alemania, pero volvió como judío, soldado y espía. Sin duda eso lo convierte en un héroe.» -Nadia Cattan, editora en Enlace judío «Una historia conmovedora sobre una vida bien vivida antes, durante y después del Holocausto; la búsqueda de un hombre para triunfar en la vida, superando todos los obstáculos imaginables.» -Luis Rubio, analista político «La historia de un individuo extraordinario comprometido a vivir... y más allá... a marcar la diferencia. Tan íntima y acogedora que podría titularse “Una historia de la Humanidad”. Se trata de la guerra y la paz en el siglo xx. No podía dejarlo, es un libro que lees sin parar.» -Yael Weiss, autora de Hematoma y Las cicadas «Cuando la esperanza parecía perdida, Richard Pick miró de frente el rostro de la crueldad en su Alemania natal. A diferencia de la mayoría de los sobrevivientes, él regresó a su país de origen como soldado estadounidense y más tarde como parte del servicio de inteligencia encargado de interrogar a los líderes nazis. Cuando se hizo cargo del escritorio de Hitler, la realidad superó a la ficción.» -Silvia Cherem, Premio Nacional de Periodismo 2005 Richard Pick Thu, 07 Dec 2023 08:27:37 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/731640 thebookvoice.com 6:43:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/731640]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Three Fires Author: Denise Mina Narrator: Jonathan Keeble Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 30 minutes Release date: December 21, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: In Three Fires, award-winning author Denise Mina re-imagines the 'Bonfire of the Vanities', a series of fires lit throughout Florence at the end of the fifteenth century - inspired by the fanatical Girolamo Savonarola. Girolamo Savonarola was a Dominican friar living in Florence at the tail end of the fifteenth century. An anti-corruption campaigner his hellfire preaching increasingly spilled over into tirades against all luxuries that tempted people towards sin. These sermons led to the infamous ‘Bonfire of the Vanities' - a series of fires lit throughout Florence for the incineration of everything from books, extravagant clothing, playing cards, musical instruments, make-up and mirrors, to paintings, tapestries and sculptures. Railing against the vice and avarice of the ruling Medici family, he was instrumental in their removal from power, and for a time became the puritanical leader of the city. After turning his attention to corruption in the entire Catholic Church, he was first excommunicated and then executed by a combination of hanging and being burnt at the stake. Denise Mina brings a modern take to this fascinating historical story - drawing parallels between the febrile atmosphere of medieval Florence and the culture wars of the present day. In dramatising the life and last days of Savonarola she explores the downfall of the original architect of cancel culture and in the process explores the neverending tensions between wealth, inequality, and freedom of speech that so dominate our modern world.

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: LGBTQ+ 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.

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.

New York, 1933: America is in its second decade of Prohibition, and its citizens have never been thirstier.  Lydia Gardiner is the infamous queenpin of a criminal empire. From her penthouse in New York City’s ritzy Plaza Hotel, Lydia deals in all the city’s favorite vices—illegal liquor, drugs, women—ruling with an iron fist, a cold heart, and a knack for beating her coarse male counterparts at their own game.  Jo Hayes is an impulsive young woman determined to forge a life as an auto mechanic, but instead finds herself drawn into Lydia’s orbit following a disastrous car accident.  As Lydia takes Jo under her wing, they get pulled into a daring heist that just might bring down the city’s biggest bootlegger.  That is, if they can escape the watchful eye of an up-and-coming NYPD detective with a score to settle.  But as the two women flit between shady billiard halls and glitzy soirees, straddling New York’s highest society and seamiest underworld, they will soon learn that nothing is quite what it seems – and everyone has a hidden agenda.

Johnstone Narrator: Neill Thorne Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 20 minutes Release date: March 26, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: As hardworking families and ambitious dreamers set down roots across the American West, others swooped down to prey upon them. And after the smoke cleared, those who lived by the gun found themselves facing justice—and vengeance . . . It was supposed to be a simple robbery. A fortune in gold for the taking. What Hack Long and his outlaws hadn't figured on was the Texas Rangers pouncing on them like a pack of rabid wolves. Desperate to escape, Long led his men south of the Rio Grande where they ran afoul of Mexican Rurales and were imprisoned. Unwilling to die behind the bars of the hellish prison where life is worth less than a peso, Long's band of desperadoes break out of jail and split up to escape. Now, Two-Horses, Luke Fischer, Gabriel Santana, Billy Lightning, and Long are scrabbling along a desolate landscape, heading for Texas to reclaim their ill-gotten gains, hunted by dogged lawmen, merciless Comaches, and a violent gang of bandits who also want the stolen gold. Though they be thieves and outlaws, Long and his men aren't nearly as deadly as their pursuers. They may not deserve forgiveness for their sins, but only death passes judgment on both the good and the bad. . . J.A. Johnstone, William W.

Especially when the eldest daughter is missing. Right there and then, Caine makes a fateful decision: throw away his badge, form a vigilante team, and go after the killers . . . There's one problem: Who would be crazy enough to join him? First up is a grizzled old tinpan named Fish Lee, who discovered the bodies. Then there's the Kiowa, an Indian scout with a grudge; Cooley, a washed-up gambler; Mortimer, a whiskey-soaked newsman; and Holt, a half-grown stock boy. Sure, they might be crazy. They might be inexperienced. But one thing is certain: be it from heaven above or hell below . . . vengeance is coming. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/730434 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/730434]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Light to the Hills: A Novel Author: Bonnie Blaylock Narrator: Shannon Mcmanus Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 15 minutes Release date: December 1, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: A richly rewarding novel about family bonds, the power of words, and the resilience of mothers and daughters in 1930s Appalachia. The folks in the Kentucky Appalachians are scraping by. Coal mining and hardscrabble know-how are a way of life for these isolated people. But when Amanda Rye, a young widowed mother and traveling packhorse librarian, comes through a mountain community hit hard by the nation’s economic collapse, she brings with her hope, courage, and apple pie. Along the way, Amanda takes a shine to the MacInteer family, especially to the gentle Rai; her quick-study daughter, Sass; and Finn, the eldest son who’s easy to warm to. They remind Amanda of her childhood and her parents with whom she longs to be reconciled. Her connection with the MacInteers deepens, and Amanda shares with them a dangerous secret from her past. When that secret catches up with Amanda in the present, she, Rai, Sass, and Finn find their lives intersecting—and threatened—in the most unexpected ways. Now they must come together as the truth lights a path toward survival, mountain justice, forgiveness, and hope.

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: LGBTQ+ 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: [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: LGBTQ+ 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: Mina's Matchbox Author: Yoko Ogawa Narrator: Nanako Mizhushima Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 36 minutes Release date: August 15, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ 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.' RUTH OZEKI, author of The Book of Form and Emptiness 'Dreamy and whimsical, Mina’s Matchbox traffics in the themes at which Ogawa always excels: memory, identity, and nostalgia' Esquire, Best Books of the Summer 'A conspicuously gifted writer. . .

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: LGBTQ+ 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: LGBTQ+ 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.

Title: [Chinese] - Destroyed Solemnly Author: Meisen Zhou Narrator: Lang Chuan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 51 minutes Release date: May 1, 1985 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: In the autumn of 1919, Xinghua Coal Mining Co., Ltd. began large-scale mining of the Liujiawa coalfield in the Yellow River paleo-channel basin, causing mining-induced earthquakes and ground subsidence. Initially, about a dozen or so acres of land collapsed, rendering some areas uncultivable. Villagers brought their grievances to the company, and subsequently, the two parties agreed to negotiate compensation. However, the company used the excuse of tight finances in the early stages of mining operations to avoid fulfilling its obligations. In February 1920, the land continued to subside. The subsidence spread from Xixia Village in the northeast of Qingquan County, meandering all the way to Dongyuan Town in a neighboring county. Signs of sinking were visible everywhere: the land became uneven, with height differences of up to several feet. Ancestral graves were also affected, with coffins and human bones exposed. In total, nearly thousands of households were impacted. In mid-month, dozens of fissures up to half a foot wide were discovered in the Yellow River ancient embankment. By month's end, the subsidence threatened villages, and some houses in Dongyuan Town collapsed, with village walls cracking in many places. Even then, the company still did not provide compensation. The villagers were extremely indignant, swearing to fight to protect their homeland. In early March, villagers secretly gathered, arming themselves with folk weapons, and elected local gentry Liu Shujie to lead them in resolving the dispute through force. The situation was severe, with violent conflict imminent. Xinghua Company was forced to send personnel to survey the dire state of the collapsed land.

Title: We Are Only Ghosts Author: Jeffrey L. Richards Narrator: Jonathan Todd Ross Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 5 minutes Release date: February 20, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: A stunning, lyrical, and emotionally powerful novel of historical fiction spanning World War II–era Europe to 1960s New York City, We Are Only Ghosts is a haunting portrait of survival, loss, love, and redemption in all its human complexity. New York City, 1968: The customers at Café Marie don’t come just for the excellent coffee and pastries. They come for the sophisticated ambiance, and the illusion of being somewhere other than a bustling, exhausting city. Headwaiter Charles Ward helps create that illusion through impeccable service—unobtrusive, nearly invisible, yet always watchful. It’s a skill Charles honed as a young Jewish boy in war-torn Europe, when avoiding attention might mean the difference between life and death. But even then, one man saw him all too clearly—a Nazi officer who was both his savior and tormentor. At seventeen, Charles was deported to Auschwitz with his family. There he was singled out by Obersturmführer Berthold Werden, who hid him in his home. Their entanglement produced a tortured affection mixed with hatred that flares to life again, decades later, when Berthold walks into Café Marie. Drawn back into Berthold’s orbit, Charles is forced to revisit the pain and the brief, undeniable pleasures of the life he once knew. And if he acts on his growing hunger for revenge, will he lose his only tether to the past—the only other witness to who he was and everything he endured—or find peace at last? Jeffrey L.

Title: Henry and Clara Author: Thomas Mallon Narrator: Mia Barron Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 4 minutes Release date: February 20, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ 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: Scandalous Women: A Novel of Jackie Collins and Jacqueline Susann Author: Gill Paul Narrator: Lisa Flanagan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 46 minutes Release date: August 13, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Mad Men meets the world of publishing in international bestselling author Gill Paul’s new novel about Jackie Collins and Jacqueline Susann, two dynamic, groundbreaking writers renowned for their scandalous and controversial novels, and the beleaguered young editorial assistant who introduces them. 1966, NYC: Jacqueline Susann’s Valley of the Dolls hits the bookstores and she is desperate for a bestseller. It’s steamy, it’s a page-turner, but will it make the big money she needs? In London, Jackie Collins’s racy The World Is Full of Married Men launches her career. But neither author is prepared for the price they will pay for being women who dare to write about sex. Jacqueline and Jackie are lambasted by the literary establishment, deluged with hate mail, and even condemned by feminists. In public, both women shoulder the outcry with dignity; in private, they are crumbling—particularly since they have secrets they don’t want splashed across the front pages. 1965, NYC: College graduate Nancy White is excited to take up her dream job at a Manhattan publishing house, but she could never be prepared for the rampant sexism she will encounter. While working on Valley of the Dolls, she becomes friends with Jacqueline Susann, and, after reaching out to Jackie Collins about a US deal, she is responsible for the two authors meeting. Will the two Jackies clash as they race to top the charts? Will Nancy achieve her ambition of becoming an editor, despite all the men determined to hold her back? Three women struggle to succeed in a man’s world, while desperately trying to protect those they love the most.

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: LGBTQ+ 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: LGBTQ+ 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: Observations on the Danger of Female Curiosity: Including an account of the unnatural tendencies arising on the over-stimulation of the mind of a lady Series: #1 of Curiosity Author: Suzanne Moss Narrator: Charlie Albers Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 17 hours 49 minutes Release date: March 12, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: An heiress, an obligation, and an unfortunate love for physics, fossils, dead fish, and . . . ladies? 'At once the easiest truth to know, and the hardest to realize' Thea Morell, Georgian heiress and eligible lady, is not normal. At least, that's what she has come to believe. She loves nothing more than spending hours at the study of natural history, collecting fossils, insects, dead fish, bones, and even the odd spider. Up to now, she has held off her mother's entreaties to marry, but this year may be her last chance to make a good match and the pressure is mounting. In her search for scientific truth, Thea also begins to acknowledge a truth about herself—a most inconvenient one which sparks at the lips of the 'electrical venus' and bursts into flame in the presence of the very proper Lady Eleanor Harrington. Despite her attempts to observe and understand, this particular truth defies all rationalization. Has her obsession with the male-dominated world of natural history caused the unnatural tendencies she can't seem to control? And more importantly, can she protect her family's interests whilst reconciling the dual passions of her mind and her heart?

Next, in 'The Song of the Lark' we are introduced to Thea Kronborg, a Colorado piano teacher who discovers she has an amazing singing voice and, despite the long odds, attempts to become a world-renowned opera star. Finally, in 'My Antonia,' we follow the lives of two protagonists: orphan Jim Burden, who is shipped off to Nebraska to live with his grandparents after his parents die, and Ántonia, a young farm girl who is struggling to survive raise her family out of poverty.

Title: A Coat Dyed Black Author: Don Pugnetti Jr. Narrator: Chris Humphreys Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 13 minutes Release date: December 12, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: A young farmer turns into a courageous resistance fighter after Nazi Germany invades Norway and steals his way of life. Bjørn Erliksen lives a peaceful life on Norway’s west coast and has never considered himself anything but a farmer. But when Nazi Germany invades, and his country’s ill-equipped military collapses in less than two months, it falls on him and other ordinary Norwegians to fight back. He escapes to England, trains with an elite Norwegian special forces army unit, and is smuggled back into his homeland as a commando. When Bjørn’s resistance work eventually reunites him with a lost love, they join forces to carry out dangerous sabotage missions, all the while working in the shadows to evade the Gestapo. He weighs love against duty, wrestling with his own conscience as he is forced to commit unspeakable acts and unexpected betrayals. Can Bjørn survive long enough to see Norway’s liberation and find his own peace? Filled with thrilling historical details about a corner of Europe often forgotten in the story of WWII, A Coat Dyed Black illuminates the struggles and sacrifices of ordinary people compelled to do the extraordinary.

Title: Perkins' Ghost: A murder in the opening act Author: L.M. Wasylciw Narrator: Jack Wynters Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 31 minutes Release date: November 6, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: On opening night of the stage play, Perkins’ Ghost, a shocking murder had occurred, leaving many residents of the sleepy hollow of Liverpool, Nova Scotia to suspect that the murder might have been committed by the ghost of Simeon Perkins. With virtually no clues to follow, apart from the unexplained sightings of a Perkins look-alike, clairvoyants, fortune cookies, intuitions and a seemingly odd connection between the murder or murderer and the Kings Orange Rangers. Sergeant Hill wondered if the murderer would ever be found. The little town of Liverpool, Nova Scotia, once booming with industry, had settled into itself. Ancient trees lined the streets, dappling patterns on the Colonial and Victorian homes. It was a quiet place, where retirees settled and tourists went to sit alongside the Mersey River as it glided by. The little town was drenched in Canadian history and nothing newsworthy had ever happened - until a murder occurred. What Amazon Reviewers Have to Say: “I enjoyed this one. It is a good read, with interesting characters and plot. A good ‘who done it’. The ending is a surprise, and moving. It will be of special interest to anybody from Liverpool, Nova Scotia, where the story takes place. The author has a good knowledge of places and local customs, and puts it all together well.” L.M.

Title: Circus Maximus: An unforgettable Roman odyssey of rivalry and power Author: A.D. O'neill Narrator: Mark Elstob Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 46 minutes Release date: May 9, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: The charioteer in his purest form. The supreme master of destiny and the elements. A man who made a circus out of life, and life out of a circus. 'A.D. O'Neill peels back the veil of time and shines a light on the intrigue and excitement of chariot racing in ancient Rome. With exquisite attention to detail and an authentic and engaging voice, Circus Maximus is endlessly and effortlessly entertaining.' MATTHEW HARFFY, author of The Bernicia Chronicles series THE CHAOTIC A.D. 69 When the tyrannical Aulus Vitellius seizes the reins of power in Rome, the empire is already in the grip of a fierce civil war. But the new emperor's first priority is both personal and deeply symbolic: he plans to crush the Green chariot racing faction - the mortal enemies of his beloved Blues - at the Plebeian Games in the Circus Maximus. To save the Greens from certain extinction, two former charioteers - the stoical and determined Corax and the flamboyant and cocksure Alector (once the firmest of friends, now the bitterest of rivals) - have just twenty-six days to transport four champion chariot horses across the breadth of Europe to Rome. Braving blizzards, bandits, floods and wild storms at sea, theirs is an unforgettable odyssey and race-against-time adventure. A.D. O'Neill steers a thundering epic around historical events and real-life characters to a breathtaking climax in the greatest sporting arena of all time - the Circus Maximus. A.D.

Title: The Highwayman's Letter Series: #5 of Sons of Somerset Author: Martha Keyes Narrator: Abigail Langham Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 3 minutes Release date: November 30, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: He waylays her carriage and runs off with her property. Can she keep him from stealing her heart as well? By day, Reginald Sinclair works in the post office, but by night, he is the increasingly infamous Paladin, the gallant highwayman making young women swoon all over Somerset. With a vendetta against the wealthy that spans both past and present, Reggie's escapades allow him to take justice into his own hands while helping his uncle avoid insolvency. Joanna Carmichael's father has finally chosen her a husband. While she is not thrilled with her father's selection, Joanna understands it as a business arrangement, something which suits her practicality perfectly. Her father hopes her good sense will exercise a beneficial effect upon her younger sister, Frances, who is regrettably prone to romantics. Frances's preoccupation with reports of the Paladin threaten to overshadow Joanna's coolheaded example, but Joanna is determined to show her sister how foolish and unworthy of admiration the outlaw is. During their encounter, though, the maddening highwayman takes an item of Joanna's—then has the audacity to send her a letter with instructions on how to recover it, beginning a battle of wills that brings Reggie within reach of the people responsible for his family's ruin and forces Joanna to reconsider the desirability of her business arrangement.

Title: [German] - Und Schnee kann man braten (ungekürzt) Author: Oliver Peral Narrator: Oliver Peral Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 50 minutes Release date: December 8, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Wer das Heute verstehen will, findet im Gestern Antworten, die unter die Haut gehen ... In dem abgelegenen spanischen Dorf Los Isidros entspinnt sich 1938 unter dem politischen Druck von Diktator Franco eine dramatische Geschichte, deren Auswirkungen bis ins Deutschland von heute spürbar bleiben: Die blutjunge Inés verliebt sich in den unerschrockenen Freiheitskämpfer Manuel, der für seinen Traum eines demokratischen Spaniens einen hohen Preis bezahlt. Während sein Bruder Vicente von einem Leben als Mönch träumt, lenkt eine unheilvolle Begegnung das Schicksal aller Beteiligten in ungewollte Bahnen ... Eingerahmt wird die Geschichte durch ebenso humorvolle wie nachdenkliche Episoden aus dem Leben von Inés' Enkel Oliver, dessen Kindheitserinnerungen in Osnabrück nicht nur die mangelnde Nähe zu seinem Vater Joaquín, sondern auch die generationenübergreifenden Konsequenzen seiner Wurzeln widerspiegeln. Basierend auf wahren Ereignissen ist 'Und Schnee kann man braten' berührende Familiengeschichte und politisches Mahnmal gleichermaßen.

She told herself that right up until the man she loved went missing in Poland and Cleo was forced to turn to the only person who might be able to help—her aunt Daisy, the US Minister to Norway. Daisy Harriman has never shied away from a challenge, be it canvassing for women’s suffrage or driving Red Cross ambulances in WWI, so as only the second woman ambassador, she is determined to prove the naysayers wrong and succeed in her post. When her disgraced niece Cleo lands on her doorstep, penniless and demanding help to find her lost lover, Daisy must balance her responsibilities as a diplomat with her desire to help her family. Their search for answers is interrupted when Germany invades Norway and the pair find themselves on the run in a countryside that is quickly becoming a battleground. Then as Daisy is given the task of escorting the Norwegian Crown Princess and her young children to America, Cleo’s lover resurfaces with a story that doesn’t add up and dangerous enemies on his trail. This riveting historical novel, based on the astounding life of Daisy Harriman and a real-life royal rescue, vividly captures a desperate time and a fearless heroine.

Title: Hidden Yellow Stars Author: Rebecca Connolly Narrator: Caroline Hewitt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 59 minutes Release date: March 5, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.33 of Total 3 Ratings of Narrator: 4.5 of Total 2 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Based on the true story of two World War II heroines who risked everything to save Jewish children from the Gestapo by hiding them throughout Belgium. Belgium, 1942. Young schoolteacher Andrée Geulen secretly defies the Nazis in Belgium, who are forcing Jews to wear a yellow Star of David. Andrée is not Jewish, but she feels a maternal connection to her students, who are living in constant fear, and decides to take action. No child should have to suffer under such persecution. But what can one woman do against an entire army? Ida Sterno is a Jewish woman who works with the Committee for the Defense of Jews in Belgium, a clandestine resistance group tasked with hiding children from the Gestapo. She wants to recruit Andrée because her Aryan appearance can provide crucial security measures for their efforts. Andrée agrees to join and begins work immediately by adopting a code name: Claude Fournier. Together, Andrée and Ida, and their undercover operatives, work around the clock to move Jewish children from their families and smuggle them to safety through the secret channels established by the resistance. As each child is hidden, Andrée commits to memory their true name and history. Someday, she vows, she will help reunite as many of these families as she can. But with the Gestapo closing in and the traitorous Fat Jacques who has turned from ally to enemy and is threatening to identify and expose any Jew he meets, Andrée and Ida must work even harder against increasingly impossible odds to save as many children as possible and keep them safely hidden—even if it might cost them their own lives.

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.

Title: [Spanish] - Salo Solo: El patrullero del amor Author: Mauricio Kartun Narrator: Mauricio Kartun Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 55 minutes Release date: November 30, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Salomón, un viudo de mediana edad, decide salir a la aventura de encontrar pareja sentimental. Y no sentirse solo. «-Circule, Salomón. Circule. En los lugares de siempre no va a encontrar nada: con las que tenía que pasar ya pasó, y con las otras no va a pasar nunca. Ábrase y circule.» Salomón Goldfarb es viudo y ha pasado largo los sesenta. Cerró su localcito de cueros y vive del alquiler. Intenta seguir con su vida pero la soledad lo abruma. Entra en aquel círculo -literalmente vicioso- del ansiolítico y el desvelo; y una tarde, en busca rutinaria de la receta mensual, un médico nuevo de la prepaga lo lanza a circular. Salo, bajito, inseguro siempre, decide salir a la conquista y comienzan allí sus aventuras. Frecuenta teatros, talleres literarios, seminarios de filosofía. Abre una cuenta en Tinder; recupera el contacto con su prima, a quien no ve hace décadas; se acerca a su vecina del piso de abajo; se va de camping; baila; hace de extra en una película y hasta se une a un grupo de activistas provida. Sin demasiado éxito, pero decidido a lograrlo como sea, Salo se convierte en el patrullero del amor. Mauricio Kartun, con el humor irreverente que conocemos de su teatro, despliega en esta novela su finísimo oído, su habilidad para contar historias y su maestría para crear esos personajes inolvidables, que siempre nos recuerdan lo patético, pero también lo sensible de la condición humana. La crítica dijo... Sobre Terrenal. Pequeño misterio ácrata: «La felicidad de la obra teatral perfecta.» Analía Melgar, Perfil «Una obra de excelencia sobrenatural que logró convertirse en el mayor éxito del teatro alternativo argentino de los últimos años.» Juan Carlos Antón, La Prensa «Uno de esos textos que se van a estudiar por siempre, que van a ser joyas, clásicos de la dramaturgia nacional.» Pablo Gorlero, La Nación Sobre La vis cómica «Un despliegue de talento que me dejó sin palabras.» Osvaldo Quiroga, El refugio de la cultura Sobre Salomé de chacra «Un delicioso cóctel de clasicismo griego, gore, diablada, tabladillo telúrico y barricada de insurgencia. Este es un Kartun desatado y en estado de gracia.» Luis Mazas, Veintitrés Sobre Ala de criados «Una obra que roza la perfección teatral y literaria.» Olga Cosentino, Noticias Mauricio Kartun Thu, 30 Nov 2023 08:27:37 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/724330 thebookvoice.com 5:55:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/724330]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Winged Tiara Author: J'nell Ciesielski Narrator: Ann Marie Gideon Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 31 minutes Release date: August 13, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.57 of Total 7 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Diamonds and danger dazzle in Ciesielski's latest enchanting romp through post-war Europe as estranged spouses and jewel thieves hunt an elusive Valkyrie tiara. November 12, 1918. It was a match made in champagne-soaked heaven, but all too soon the bubbles dried up, and Esme Fox awakens the morning after celebrating the end of the Great War to find herself shockingly and accidentally married. She gathers her belongings and slips out before her new husband can stop her. After all, she knows it's best to leave before he does. Four years later, Jasper Truitt, after having made a name for himself in the underground world of jewel thieves, is on the hunt for a valuable heirloom: a one-of-a-kind winged tiara--the last Valkyrie tiara ever created. So it's with great surprise that he discovers it at a charity event atop the head of a woman he's never forgotten. His long-lost wife . . . who happens to be pursuing the tiara for a vengeful opera diva desperate to obtain the jewel for herself. The reunion is cut short when Esme vanishes--again--but their separation is temporary. With a hitman on their heels and a deadline looming, the pair find themselves in an epic game of cat and mouse across Europe following leads from the French Riviera to a shop of wonders in Venice, a fairy-tale castle in Bavaria, and a veritable circus thrown by a champagne heiress, all before a dramatic horseback flight through the French countryside. In the end only one can win, and with both of their hearts on the line, the winner may well turn out to be the loser. In her latest glamorous historical romance, J'nell Ciesielski spins a sparkling story filled with her signature snappy dialogue and vivid atmosphere that will keep you reading late into the night to see what happens next.

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: LGBTQ+ 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. Dive deeper into the novel with included discussion questions, a historical timeline, and insightful author notes.

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: LGBTQ+ 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: A Pair of Wings: A Novel Author: Carole Hopson Narrator: Alaska Jackson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 33 minutes Release date: August 20, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: An airline captain crafts a riveting, adventurous novel inspired by the remarkable true life of pioneer aviatrix Bessie Coleman, a Black woman who learned to fly at the dawn of aviation and found freedom in the air A few years after the Wright brothers’ first flight, Bessie was working the Texas cotton fields with her family when an airplane flew over their heads. It buzzed so low she thought she could catch it in her hands. Bessie was fearless. She knew there was freedom in those wings. The daughter of a woman born into slavery, Bessie answers the call of the Great Migration. She moves to Chicago, where she wins the backing of two wealthy, powerful Black men—Robert Abbott, creator and publisher of the Chicago Defender, and Jesse Binga, the founder of Chicago’s first Black bank. Abbott becomes her mentor, while Binga becomes her lover. Her true first love, though, remains flying. But in 1920, no one in the United States will train a Black woman to fly. So, twenty-eight-year-old Bessie learns to speak French and sets off for Europe. Two years ahead of Amelia Earhart, Bessie earns her pilot's license, and later she learns death-defying stunts from French and German dogfighting combat pilots. While she finds no prejudice in the air, Bessie wrestles with other challenges on the ground. A plane crash nearly kills her, her brothers seem to be crumbling under the weight of Jim Crow, and, while grappling with tough truths about Binga, Bessie begins to wonder if the freedom she finds in the sky means she must otherwise fly solo. With tenderness and mastery, Carole Hopson imagines the breathtaking moxie Bessie Coleman harnessed in order to lift herself out of poverty and become known as “Queen Bess.” A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.

Title: The Water Margin: Outlaws of the Marsh Author: Shi Naian Narrator: Jonathan Booth Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 33 hours 41 minutes Release date: June 29, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: The Water Margin is one of the most popular classics of early Chinese literature. It tells the vigorous story of 108 characters who, falling foul of the established state authorities are forced to become outlaws. They form a bandit community in Liangshan Marsh, becoming such a formidable force in their own right that they threaten the power of government itself. The author, Shi Nain, writing in the 14th century, the time of the Ming Dynasty, presents the tale with all the force and directness of a live story-teller. He describes in some detail the numerous one-to-one combats with a wide variety of weapons, as well as hand to hand fights. Despite written over half a millennium ago, it all seems very familiar to the contemporary listener, for the style lives on in the Chinese martial arts movies of today. He pulls no punches with the events themselves. There is deception, murder, torture, adultery, beheadings and massacre on a grand scale, reflecting the disorderly nature of the time – it is set 200 years earlier in a lawless period during the Northern Song dynasty. But the power of the story lies in the portrayal of the individuals who cover the wide spectrum of human kind. There are the honourable figures, wrongly branded on the face as criminals and forced to wear the heavy cangue – the massive wooden collar, punishing and restricting movement. There are the mighty warriors who, despite good deeds (killing tigers that are terrorising the neighbourhood) are forced to flee established society by powerful but envious officials. There are monks displaying varying degrees of ethical behaviour. And there are some who simply love to fight, anywhere, anytime, with any weapons, and find themselves most comfortable in the outlaw milieu. The Water Margin has come down to us in various forms – its huge size attracted abridgements – and the version recorded here is the 70-chapter chronicle by Jin Shengtan, dating from the 17th century. The translation by J. H. Jackson appeared in the 1930s. But it has been recently revised by Edwin Lowe who wanted to bring back the earthy flavour of the original, reintroducing the strong language, the brutality and the unexpurgated nature of Shi Nain's language. In short, it is a rip-roaring tale, unrelenting in its energy, more akin to the modern thriller than the elegant, reflective character one would expect from a Chinese classic! Nevertheless, it often exhibits the features of the morality tale with wise aphorisms. Jonathan Booth gives a virtuoso presentation with vivid characterisation of the principals, and the hundreds of minor individuals who pop up in this detailed account of medieval life in the raw.

Title: All the Summers In Between Author: Brooke Lea Foster Narrator: Emily Ellet Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 27 minutes Release date: June 4, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: “Make room in your beach bag for this mesmerizing book” (Patti Callahan Henry, New York Times bestselling author) about two estranged friends whose unexpected reconnection in the Hamptons forces them to finally confront the terrible event that drove them apart. When wealthy, impulsive Margot meets hardworking and steady Thea in the summer of 1967, the unlikely pair become fast friends, working alongside one another in a record store and spending every spare moment together. But after an unspeakable incident on one devastating August night, they don’t see one another for ten years…until Margot suddenly reappears in Thea’s life, begging for help and harboring more than one dangerous secret. Thea can’t bring herself to refuse her beloved friend—but she also knows she can’t fully trust her either. Unfulfilled as a housewife, Thea enjoys the dazzling sense of adventure Margot brings to her life, but will the truth of what happened to them that fateful summer ruin everything? Testing the boundaries of how far she’ll go for a friend, Thea is forced to reckon with her uncertain future while trying to decide if some friends are meant to remain in the past. Set in the dual timelines of 1967 and 1977, All the Summers In Between is at once “a taut, dynamic examination” (Lynda Cohen Loigman, author of The Wartime Sisters) of a complex friendship, a delicious glimpse into a bygone Hamptons, and a powerful coming-of-age story of two young women during a transformative era.

Title: The Land Girls Author: Victoria Purman Narrator: Jennifer Vuletic Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 5 minutes Release date: April 24, 2019 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: A moving story of love, loss and survival against the odds by bestselling author of The Last of the Bonegilla Girls, Victoria Purman. It was never just a man's war... Melbourne,1942 War has engulfed Europe and now the Pacific, and Australia is fighting for its future. For spinster Flora Atkins, however, nothing much has changed. Tending her dull office job and beloved brother and father, as well as knitting socks for the troops, leaves her relatively content. Then one day a stranger gives her brother a white feather and Flora's anger propels her out of her safe life and into the vineyards of the idyllic Mildura countryside, a member of the Australian Women's Land Army. There she meets Betty, a 17-year-old former shopgirl keen to do her bit for the war effort and support her beloved, and the unlikely Lilian, a well-to-do Adelaide girl fleeing her overbearing family and theworld's expectations for her. As the Land Girls embrace their new world of close-knit community and backbreaking work, they begin to find pride in their roles. More than that, they start to find a kind of liberation. For Flora, new friendships and the singular joy derived from working the land offer new meaning to her life, and even the possibility of love. But as the clouds of war darken the horizon, and their fears for loved ones - brothers, husbands, lovers - fighting at the front grow, the Land Girls' hold on their world and their new-found freedoms is fragile. Even if they make it through unscathed, they will not come through unchanged...

Title: The Widow of Ballarat Author: Darry Fraser Narrator: Rebecca Macauley Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 5 minutes Release date: November 16, 2018 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: A compulsively readable story of passion, adventure and a woman's quest for independence set against the colourful backdrop of 19th century Bendigo and the goldfields of Ballarat. 1854, Ballarat, Victoria When Nell Amberton's husband is shot dead by a bushranger, there are few who grieve his passing, and Nell least of all. How could she miss the monster who had abused her from the day they wed – the man who had already killed his innocent first wife? But his death triggers a chain of events that seem to revolve around the handsome bushranger who murdered him – a man to whom Nell, against her better judgement, is drawn. But Nell has far more than a mysterious stranger to worry about. With a mess of complications around her late husband's will, a vicious scoundrel of a father trying to sell her off in matrimony, and angry relatives pursuing her for her husband's gold, she is more concerned with trying to ensure her safety and that of her friend, goldfields laundry woman Flora, than dealing with the kind of feelings that led her astray so catastrophically before. After the violence on the goldfields, Nell's fate also hangs in the balance. It seems that, after all, she might need to do the one thing she has avoided at all costs … ask for the help of a man.

It’s the 1960s in North Carolina, and Lorraine Delford has it all—an upstanding family, a perfect boyfriend, and an idyllic home complete with a white picket fence. Yet every time she looks through her father’s telescope, she dreams of leaving it all behind to go to space. It’s ambitious, but Lorraine has always been exceptional. But when this darling girl-next-door gets pregnant, she’s forced to learn firsthand the realities that keep women grounded. To hide their daughter’s secret shame, the Delfords send Lorraine to a maternity home for wayward girls. But this is no safe haven—it’s a house with dark secrets and suffocating rules. And as Lorraine begins to piece together a new vision for her life, she must decide if she has the power to fight for the future she wants or if she must submit to the rules of a society she once admired. Powerful and affecting, The Girls We Sent Away is a timely novel set during the intersection of the Baby Scoop Era and Space Race that explores autonomy, belonging, and a quest for agency when the illusions of life-as-you-know-it fall away. “Readers will be entranced as author Meagan Church steadily peels away the veneer of the era, revealing the dark underbelly of a secretive and unforgiving society.”—Tracey Enerson Wood, international bestselling author of The Engineer’s Wife and The War Nurse Meagan Church Tue, 05 Mar 2024 08:27:37 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/722724 thebookvoice.com 10:4:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/722724]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Dazzling Author: Chikodili Emelumadu Narrator: Precious Mustapha, Tara Tijani Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 22 minutes Release date: December 5, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: The Girl with the Louding Voice meets The Water Dancer in this magical, awardwinning literary debut that offers a new take on West African mythology Treasure and her mother lost everything when Treasure’s father died. Haggling for scraps in the market, Treasure meets a man who promises to change their fortunes, but his feet are hovering just a few inches above the ground. He’s a spirit, and he says he can bring Treasure’s beloved father back to life if she’ll do one terrible thing for him first. Ozoemena has an itch in the middle of her back. It’s an itch that speaks to her patrilineal destiny, an honor never before bestowed upon a girl, to defend the land and protect its people by becoming a Leopard. Her father impressed upon her what an honor this was before he vanished, but it’s one she couldn’t want less—she has enough to worry about as she tries to fit in at a new boarding school. As the two girls reckon with their burgeoning wildness and the legacy of their missing fathers, Ozoemena’s fellow students start to vanish, Treasure’s obligations to the spirit escalate, and Ozoemena’s duty of protection as a Leopard grows. Soon the girls are set on a dangerous collision course as both must face impossible choices, discovering what they are willing to sacrifice to get what is theirs in a world that always says “no” to women.

Title: Gideon's Revolution: A Novel Author: Brian Carso Narrator: Brian Carso Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 8 minutes Release date: February 6, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: It's 1780, days after Benedict Arnold flees to the British when his treasonous plot to surrender the American fort at West Point is discovered and Gideon's Revolution is about to begin. General George Washington orders a secret mission for two Continental Army soldiers to go behind enemy lines, abduct Arnold, and return him to his countrymen to be tried and hanged. Washington selects one of the soldiers, Gideon Wheatley, for the mission because Arnold would trust him. Wheatley fought under Arnold's command at Saratoga and tended to the gravely wounded general for several months at Albany's military hospital. After feigning desertion to the British Army to join Arnold's corps of loyalists, Wheatley and his comrade John Champe seek out Washington's spies in New York and develop a plan to seize the traitor. But when the abduction is foiled, the soldiers are trapped by their own deceit and forced to fight alongside Arnold's raiding army, as if they were traitors themselves. Years after the war, pressed by memories that haunt him and seeking redemption, Wheatley must decide whether he alone can exact revenge on his former friend and commander, a decision that sends him across the Atlantic to London, to find and confront Arnold.

Title: Jamie MacGillivray: The Renegade's Journey Author: John Sayles Narrator: Peter Noble Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 25 hours 35 minutes Release date: April 9, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: It begins in the highlands of Scotland in 1746, at the Battle of Culloden, the last desperate stand of the Stuart 'pretender' to the throne of the Three Kingdoms, Bonnie Prince Charlie, and his rabidly loyal supporters. Vanquished with his comrades by the forces of the Hanoverian (and Protestant) British crown, the novel's eponymous hero, Jamie MacGillivray, narrowly escapes a roadside execution only to be recaptured by the victors and shipped to Marshalsea Prison (central to Charles Dickens's Hard Times) where he cheats the hangman a second time before being sentenced to transportation and indentured servitude in colonial America 'for the term of his natural life.' His travels are paralleled by those of Jenny Ferguson, a poor, village girl swept up on false charges by the English and also sent in chains to the New World. The novel follows Jamie and Jenny through servitude, revolt, escape, and romantic entanglements—pawns in a deadly game. The two continue to cross paths with each other and with some of the leading figures of the era—the devious Lord Lovat, future novelist Henry Fielding, the artist William Hogarth, a young and ambitious George Washington, the doomed General James Wolfe, and the Lenape chief feared throughout the Ohio Valley as Shingas the Terrible.

Title: Butcher Author: Joyce Carol Oates Narrator: Jeremy Carlisle Parker, Max Meyers, Amy Shiels, Edoardo Ballerini, Danny Campbell, Tavia Gilbert, Cassandra Campbell, Robert Fass Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 11 minutes Release date: May 21, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: ‘Simply the most consistently inventive, brilliant, curious and creative writer going’ GILLIAN FLYNN 'Delightfully disturbing' iNEWS 'A blood-soaked, gothic nightmare' FINANCIAL TIMES From one of our most accomplished storytellers, an extraordinary and arresting novel about a women’s asylum in the nineteenth century, and a terrifying doctor who wants to change the world. 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.

In the end, it seems like Temi might be the sanest of them all… In Only Big Bumbum Matters Tomorrow, Damilare Kuku brings her signature humor, boldness, and compassion to each member of this loveable but exasperating family, whose lives reveal the ways in which a woman’s physical appearance can dictate her life and relationships and show just how sharp the double-edged sword of beauty can be. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/722340 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/722340]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [German] - Die vermisste Tochter - Die verlorenen Töchter, Band 2 (Ungekürzte Lesung) Author: Soraya Lane Narrator: Christiane Marx Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 5 minutes Release date: December 1, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Eine Einladung zum Träumen und in-der-Ferne-schwelgen: Reisen Sie mit Die vermisste Tochter, dem 2. Teil der bewegenden Familiengeheimnis-Saga Die verlorenen Töchter von Soraya Lane, in das Kuba der 1950er Jahre. Kunstvoll verwebt die Autorin zwei emotionsgeladene Liebesgeschichten und das Schicksal zweier Frauen in Gegenwart und Vergangenheit. Kommen Sie mit auf ein gefühlvolles Leseabenteuer! Auf den Spuren eines Familiengeheimnisses ins glanzvolle Kuba der 1950er London in der Gegenwart. Es beginnt mit einer kleinen hölzernen Schachtel mit dem Namen ihrer Großmutter und der Zeichnung eines Familienwappens: Claudia fällt ein geheimnisvolles Erbstück in die Hände und ihre Neugier ist geweckt - ist das der Schlüssel, um endlich mehr über das Leben ihrer verstorbenen Großmutter zu erfahren? Ihre Nachforschungen stoßen sie auf die kubanische Familie Diaz, der in den 1950er-Jahren eine große Zuckerrohrplantage gehörte. Kurzentschlossen fliegt Claudia nach Havanna, um mehr über die Vergangenheit ihrer Familie zu erfahren. Kaum angekommen ist sie wie verzaubert von der quirligen, vor Lebensfreude sprudelnden Stadt und spürt eine ungekannte Verbundenheit mit dem Land und seinen Bewohnern. Als sie den Koch Mateo trifft, zeigt dieser ihr nicht nur das beste Street Food von Havanna, sondern hilft ihr auch dabei, dem Geheimnis um ihre Großmutter auf die Spur zu kommen. Gemeinsam machen sie sich auf eine emotionale Reise in die Vergangenheit, in das opulente und leidenschaftliche Kuba der 1950er Jahre. Mitreißend und wunderbar atmosphärisch erzählt der Familiengeheimnis-Roman von Soraya Lane eine dramatische Familiengeschichte und die Geschichte einer Liebe, die alle Grenzen überwindet. Im 1. Teil der Familiengeheimnis-Saga - Die verlorene Tochter - macht sich die junge Winzerin Lily in Italien auf die Suche nach der Geschichte ihrer Großmutter.

Title: [German] - Der Silberbaum. Die siebente Tugend (Ungekürzte Lesung) Author: Sabine Ebert Narrator: Gabriele Blum Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 29 minutes Release date: November 29, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Die Erben der Hebamme - und der vielleicht außergewöhnlichste Fürst des deutschen Hochmittelalters: Mit ihrem historischen Roman Der Silberbaum startet Bestseller-Autorin Sabine Ebert ihre neue Reihe über ein spannendes Kapitel deutscher Geschichte. Er war der vielleicht strahlendste Fürst seiner Zeit, ein Förderer der Städte, Minnedichter und Ausrichter glänzender Turniere: Heinrich der Erlauchte, Markgraf von Meißen und Landgraf von Thüringen. Doch zu Beginn der Geschichte ist ungewiss, ob er die Herrschaft je antreten wird. Sein Vater stirbt, als Heinrich drei Jahre ist. Sein Oheim Ludwig von Thüringen, der gerade die ungarische Königstochter Elisabeth geheiratet hat, wird sein Vormund. Bewahrt er dem Neffen das Erbe oder will er es an sich reißen? In ihrer Not ruft die Markgräfinwitwe Jutta Lukas aus Freiberg zu sich. Ihn hatte sie einst vom Hof geschickt, denn seine Stieftochter Clara war die große Liebe ihres Mannes. Lukas schart Getreue um sich und ruft Marthes ältesten Sohn Thomas aus dem Heiligen Land nach Meißen. Marthes Enkelin Änne verschlägt es derweil nach Thüringen, wo sie verstörende Begegnungen mit der später heiliggesprochene Elisabeth und deren erbarmungslosem Beichtvater hat, dem fanatischen Kreuzzugsprediger und Ketzerverfolger Konrad von Marburg. Die heilkundige Marthe ist die Titelfigur von Sabine Eberts historischen Bestsellern der fünfbändigen Hebammen-Saga. Aus der Sicht von Marthes Kindern und Enkeln lässt uns Sabine Ebert in der historischen Roman-Reihe ein faszinierendes Jahrhundert erleben: die große Zeit der Minne und der Auseinandersetzungen Kaisers Friedrich II. mit dem Papst.

Title: [German] - Die Bibliothek im Nebel (Ungekürzte Lesung) Author: Kai Meyer Narrator: Fabian Busch, Luise Helm, Johann Von Bülow Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 17 hours 39 minutes Release date: November 20, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: In seinem neuen Roman führt uns Bestseller-Autor Kai Meyer zurück in die Gassen der Bücherstadt Leipzig, in das verlorene Graphische Viertel und in ein Labyrinth aus Literatur und Schatten. Sankt Petersburg, 1917. Der junge Bibliothekar Artur flieht vor den Schergen der Revolution, im Gepäck ein Manuskript, das ihn retten soll - und die Leben vieler anderer bedroht. Sein Ziel ist Leipzig, die Stadt der Bücher. Im legendären Graphischen Viertel will er seine große Liebe Mara wiedersehen, die dem Sohn eines reichen Verlegers versprochen ist. Cote d'Azur, 1928. Das Mädchen Liette findet auf dem Dachboden des Luxushotels Château Trois Grâces die vergessenen Reisekisten russischer Familien, die während der Revolution ermordet wurden. Darin entdeckt sie ein altes, mit einem Schloss gesichertes Buch. Dreißig Jahre später beauftragt Liette, mittlerweile Direktorin des Hotels, den Gentleman-Ganoven Thomas Jansen, mehr über die ehemalige Besitzerin des Buchs herauszufinden - eine Russin namens Mara. Die Spur führt zu einem Bibliothekar, der vor Jahren nach Leipzig kam, zu einer verlassenen Villa am Meer und der geheimnisvollen Bibliothek im Nebel. Wie schon in seinem Erfolgsroman Die Bücher, der Junge und die Nacht beschwört Kai Meyer die Magie der Bücher und präsentiert eine faszinierende Melange aus Familiensaga, Kriminalroman, Liebesgeschichte und Abenteuer.

Title: [German] - Unsereins (Ungekürzte Lesung) Author: Inger-Maria Mahlke Narrator: Julia Nachtmann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 31 minutes Release date: November 27, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Eine Lübecker Familie, kinderreich, konservativ, kaisertreu: die Lindhorsts. 1890 kommt Marthe in dem weitläufigen Patrizierhaus in der Königstraße zur Welt. Um sie eine Schar älterer Brüder, deren Freiheiten nicht ihre sein werden. Und doch ist es ein Leben mit glänzenden Aussichten. Bis ein Bestsellerroman, verfasst vom Sohn eines verstorbenen Bekannten, den respektablen Lindhorsts klarmacht, dass sie für ihr Umfeld auch nach zwei Generationen noch immer 'die Jüdischen' sind. Unsereins ist der Roman einer Stadt und ihrer Gesellschaft, ihrer Bürger und Lohndiener, der Handwerker und, vor allem, ihrer Frauen. Ob Dienstmädchen, Hausfrau, Weißnäherin oder Schriftstellerin, ob manisch-depressiv wie Marthes Mutter, durchlässig wie Marthe selbst, die mit eigenen und fremden Erwartungen ringt.

Title: Maria: A Novel of Maria von Trapp Author: Michelle Moran Narrator: Natasha Soudek, Eileen Stevens Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 1 minute Release date: July 30, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Maria von Trapp. You know the name and the iconic songs, but do you know her real story? This dramatic novel, based on the woman glamorized in The Sound of Music, brings Maria to life as never before. “As immersive, heartbreaking, and ultimately redemptive as the musical . . . This one is not to be missed.”—Allison Pataki, author of Finding Margaret Fuller In the 1950s, Oscar Hammerstein is asked to write the lyrics to a musical based on the life of a woman named Maria von Trapp. He’s intrigued to learn that she was once a novice who hoped to live quietly as an Austrian nun before her abbey sent her away to teach a widowed baron’s sickly child. What should have been a ten-month assignment, however, unexpectedly turned into a marriage proposal. And when the family was forced to flee their home to escape the Nazis, it was Maria who instructed them on how to survive using nothing but the power of their voices. It’s an inspirational story, to be sure, and as half of the famous Rodgers & Hammerstein duo, Hammerstein knows it has big Broadway potential. Yet much of Maria’s life will have to be reinvented for the stage, and with the horrors of war still fresh in people’s minds, Hammerstein can’t let audiences see just how close the von Trapps came to losing their lives. But when Maria sees the script that is supposedly based on her life, she becomes so incensed that she sets off to confront Hammerstein in person. Told that he’s busy, she is asked to express her concerns to his secretary, Fran, instead. The pair strike up an unlikely friendship as Maria tells Fran about her life, contradicting much of what will eventually appear in The Sound of Music. A tale of love, loss, and the difficult choices that we are often forced to make, Maria is a powerful reminder that the truth is usually more complicated—and certainly more compelling—than the stories immortalized by Hollywood.

Title: The Lost Boy of Santa Chionia: A novel Author: Juliet Grames Narrator: Juliet Grames, Lisa Flanagan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 35 minutes Release date: July 23, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: One unidentified skeleton. Three missing men. A village full of secrets. The best-selling author of The Seven or Eight Deaths of Stella Fortuna brings us a sparkling—by turns funny and moving—novel about a young American woman turned amateur detective in a small village in Southern Italy (“Terrific” –Boston Globe). Calabria, 1960. Francesca Loftfield, a twenty-seven-year-old, starry-eyed American, arrives in the isolated mountain village of Santa Chionia tasked with opening a nursery school. There is no road, no doctor, no running water or electricity. And thanks to a recent flood that swept away the post office, there’s no mail, either. Most troubling, though, is the human skeleton that surfaced after the flood waters receded. Who is it? And why don’t the police come and investigate? When the local priest's housekeeper begs Francesca to help determine if the remains are those of her long-missing son, Francesca begins to ask a lot of inconvenient questions. As an outsider, she might be the only person who can uncover the truth. Or she might be getting in over her head. As she attempts to juggle a nosy landlady, a suspiciously dashing shepherd, and a network of local families bound together by a code of silence, Francesca finds herself forced to choose between the charitable mission that brought her to Santa Chionia, and her future happiness, between truth and survival. Set in the wild heart of Calabria, a land of sheer cliff faces, ancient tradition, dazzling sunlight—and one of the world’s most ruthless criminal syndicates—The Lost Boy of Santa Chionia is a suspenseful puzzle mystery, a captivating romance, and an affecting portrait of a young woman in search of a meaningful life.

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: LGBTQ+ 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.

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: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: A BEST BOOK OF 2024 FROM THE ECONOMIST AND THE MINNESOTA STAR TRIBUNE 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.

A reminder of the short story’s power. . . . The History of Sound marks Shattuck as one of the form’s brightest lights. . . . A terrific writer. . . . Deeply resonant.” —The Boston Globe “Exquisitely crafted, deeply imagined, exhilaratingly diverse, The History of Sound places Ben Shattuck firmly among the very finest of our storytellers.” —Geraldine Brooks, New York Times bestselling author of Horse “Magnificent. . . . Poignant. . . . Exquisite.” —Publishers Weekly A stunning collection of interconnected stories set in New England, exploring how the past is often misunderstood and how history, family, heartache, and desire can echo over centuries In twelve luminous stories set across three centuries, The History of Sound examines the unexpected ways the past returns to us and how love and loss are entwined and transformed over generations. In Ben Shattuck's ingenious collection, each story has a companion story, which contains a revelation about the previous, paired story. Mysteries and murders are revealed, history is refracted, and deep emotional connections are woven through characters and families. 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.

Mysteries and murders are revealed, history is refracted, and deep emotional connections are woven through characters and families. 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: [Russian] - История телесных наказаний в России Author: николай николаевич евреинов Narrator: владимир самойлов Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 0 minutes Release date: October 2, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Николай Николаевич Евреинов (1879-1953) – режиссер, драматург, теоретик и историк театра – создал фундаментальный труд, посвященный истории телесных наказаний в России. Зверства Ивана Грозного в эпоху опричного террора и расправы Петра I со стрельцами и придворной аристократией, жестокое подавление восстаний крестьян и казаков и насильственные методы дознаний при расследовании преступлений. Дыба, колесо, кол, четвертование, разрывание, распиливание на части, поджаривание на медленном огне, сдирание кожи и погребение заживо – мрачные страницы истории, которые современному человеку трудно вообразить. Однако несомненная ценность этой книги – не в познании давно отжившего института телесных наказаний, а во «всестороннем изучении быта и нравов народа, практиковавшего на протяжении веков членовредительство, боль и срам как законные и обычные средства воздействия на нарушителей закона».

Однако несомненная ценность этой книги – не в познании давно отжившего института телесных наказаний, а во «всестороннем изучении быта и нравов народа, практиковавшего на протяжении веков членовредительство, боль и срам как законные и обычные средства воздействия на нарушителей закона».

Title: The Jewel of the Blues Author: Monica Chenault-Kilgore Narrator: Bahni Turpin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 59 minutes Release date: November 19, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Set in the sparkling 1920s jazz era, The Jewel of the Blues pulls back the curtain on all the romance, danger and drama in the bustling backstage life of a young performer. Billed as the Little Girl with the Big Voice, blues singer Lucille Arnetta Love always dreamed of life under the lights. From traveling family gospel band to lead singer in a riotous vaudeville troupe, Lucille is on the rise. But a devastating family secret, one that’s poised to shatter every dream she’s ever had, casts an inescapable shadow over Lucille’s career. Decades ago, a botched robbery ended in a suspicious death—and all signs point to Lucille’s own father as the culprit. It’s a secret that Lucille’s family is determined to keep buried—even from Lucille herself. For a time, a fresh start feels possible, especially when Marcus Williams, Lucille’s manager—and sometimes paramour—sets her up with a band to tour the country: Miss Lucille’s Black Troubadours. Lucille’s dream of seeing her name in the bright lights of Broadway may happen yet, if she and the Troubadours can endure the highly competitive, rocky road to fame. Beneath the dazzling glamour of the vaudeville scene lies a wicked underbelly, as drinking, gambling, salacious love affairs and racial tensions compete to dim Lucille’s shining star. And when shady figures from her father’s past emerge, their thirst for revenge threatens to silence Lucille’s career—and the sultry singer herself—for good.

Title: The Berlin Apartment Author: Bryn Turnbull Narrator: Mary Jane Wells Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 4 minutes Release date: August 27, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: “Wholly immersive and impeccably researched, Bryn Turnbull’s tale brings the time vividly to life.” —Toronto Star on The Paris Deception For fans of Kate Quinn and Kristin Hannah, this sweeping love story follows a young couple whose lives are irrevocably changed when they’re separated overnight by the construction of the Berlin Wall. Berlin 1961: When Uli Neumann proposes to Lise Bauer, she has every reason to accept. He offers her love, respect, and a life beyond the strict bounds of the East German society in which she was raised — which she longs to leave more than anything. But only two short days after their engagement, Lise and Uli are torn violently apart when barbed wire is rolled across Berlin, splitting the city into two hostile halves: capitalist West Berlin, an island of western influence isolated far beyond the iron curtain; and the socialist East, a country determined to control its citizens by any means necessary.  Soon, Uli and his friends in West Berlin hatch a plan to get Lise and her unborn child out of East Germany, but as distance and suspicion bleed into their lives and as weeks turn to months, how long can true love survive in the divided city?

Title: Doctor Copernicus: A Novel Author: John Banville Narrator: John Lee Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 45 minutes Release date: February 13, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: The classic novel by "Irish master" (New Yorker) and Booker Prize–winner John Banville brings to life the dramatic and surprising world of sixteenth-century astronomer Nicolas Copernicus and the theory that would shatter the medieval view of the universe. Sixteenth-century Europe is teeming with change and controversy: wars are being waged by princes and bishops and the repercussions of Luther are being felt through a convulsing Germany. In a remote corner of Poland, a modest canon is practicing medicine and studying the heavens, preparing a theory that will shatter the medieval view of the universe. In this astonishing work of historical imagination, John Banville offers a vivid portrait of a man of painful reticence. For, in a world that is equal parts splendor and barbarism, an obscure cleric who seeks “the secret music of the universe” poses a most devastating threat. "A tour de force… Exciting, beautifully written and astonishingly redolent of the late medieval world." —The Times John Banville Tue, 13 Feb 2024 08:27:37 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/721198 thebookvoice.com 10:45:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/721198]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Kepler: A Novel Author: John Banville Narrator: John Lee Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 20 minutes Release date: February 13, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: The Booker Prize–winning author of The Sea re-creates the life of the Renaissance mathematical genius Johannes Kepler and his incredible drive to chart the orbits of the planets and the geometry of the universe. Johannes Kepler, born in 1571 in southern Germany, was one of the world’s greatest mathematicians and astronomers. The novel Kepler by John Banville brilliantly re-creates his life and his work, which laid the foundation of the universe even while he was being driven from exile to exile by religious and domestic strife. At the same time, it illuminates the harsh realities of the Renaissance world, rich in imaginative daring but rooted in poverty, squalor and the tyrannical power of emperors.

In his journals, Cormack refers to his guide only as “My Indian.” Now, almost two hundred years later, Mi’sel Joe and Sheila O’Neill reclaim the story of Sylvester Joe, the Mi’kmaw guide engaged by Cormack. In a remarkable feat of historical fiction, My Indian follows Sylvester Joe from his birth (in what is now known as Miawpukek First Nation) and early life in his community to his journey across the island with Cormack. But will Sylvester Joe lead Cormack to the Beothuk, or will he protect the Beothuk and lead his colonial explorer away? In rewriting the narrative of Cormack’s journey from the perspective of his Mi’kmaw guide, My Indian reclaims Sylvester Joe’s identity.

Tres coronas medievales Author: Almudena De Arteaga Narrator: Raquel Romero Escrivá Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 14 minutes Release date: October 30, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Premio de Novela Histórica Alfonso X El Sabio «Solo espero que al morir yo no terminen asesinándose entre sí, ya que el odio enraíza en sus almas». A lo largo de toda su vida María de Molina sufrió por amor. Primero por casarse con su sobrino, Sancho IV de Castilla, matrimonio que no fue bien visto ni por el anterior rey, Alfonso X, ni por el papa, que denegó la dispensa por lazos consanguíneos. Su viudedad y la posterior regencia a la espera de la mayoría de edad de su hijo Fernando IV, aguantando los embates de la desestabilizada política ibérica, fueron un nuevo trago amargo para la reina. Al final de sus días presenció la muerte de su hijo y de su nuera y protegió de nuevo como regente a su desvalido nieto, el futuro Alfonso XI, envuelto en las intrigas palaciegas castellanas y los problemas políticos. Esta novela narra, con la pasión y elegancia habituales de la autora, la intensa vida de María de Molina, esposa de Sancho IV de Castilla. Una mujer única que en plena Edad Media gobernó tres veces a su pueblo entre los siglos XIII y XIV.

Title: In The Lion's Sign Author: Stefano Vignaroli Narrator: Luis Cruz Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 55 minutes Release date: October 21, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Year 2019: once again, the scholar Lucia Balleani and the archaeologist Andrea Franciolini will take us by the hand and guide us through the arcane mysteries of the Renaissance Jesi, among streets, alleys and palaces of a historical centre that, at the gates of the 1920s, begins to regurgitate from the underground ancient and important objects from past eras. The archaeological excavations of Piazza Colocci will in fact reserve unexpected surprises in the eyes of the entire population of Jesi. We begin to follow the events of the characters of the sixteenth century through the discovery of ancient documents and archaeological finds by the young couple of researchers of our time. New winds of war will in fact lead the Captain of Arms of the Royal City of Jesi to the battlefields.After the first two episodes of the series "The Printer", here we are at the end, the last episode of the saga dedicated to the Renaissance Jesi. We left Andrea almost at the point of death, helped by his beloved, hidden in disguise. The plot has moved to Urbino, but certainly our two heroes, Andrea Franciolini and Lucia Baldeschi, will have to return to Jesi to fulfill their dream of love. The wedding will have to be a festive and opulent event, and will have to be celebrated by the Bishop of the City of Jesi, Monsignor Piersimone Ghislieri. But are we sure that obscure plots, of destiny and of men, will not be able to hinder for the umpteenth time the union between Andrea and Lucia? The two lovers have found each other again, and for nothing in the world would they want to leave each other again. Andrea finally wants to be a father to his little girl, Laura and, why not, to Lucia's adopted daughter, Anna. The girls are fantastic, they are growing up healthy and lively in the country residence of the Counts Baldeschi, and Andrea is enjoying their closeness. But winds of war will once again lead the Captain of Arms of the Royal City of Jesi to the battlefields. And soon to leave the peace and quiet regained. The Lansquenets press the gates of northern Italy and the Duke of Oak, in a strange alliance with Giovanni De' Medici, better known as Giovanni Dalle Bande Nere, will do his best to prevent German soldiers from reaching Florence and even Rome. Avoiding the sacking of the Eternal City in 1527 will not be an easy task, neither for the Duke Della Rovere, nor for Giovanni dalle Bande Nere, nor for Captain Franciolino de' Franciolini. Let us once again follow the events of the characters of the sixteenth century through the discoveries of ancient documents and archaeological finds of the young couple of researchers of our time. Once again, the scholar Lucia Balleani and the archaeologist Andrea Franciolini will take us by the hand and guide us through the arcane mysteries of the Renaissance Jesi, among streets, alleys and palaces of an old town centre that, at the gates of the 1920s, begins to regurgitate from the underground ancient and important objects from past eras.

Title: The London Girls Author: Soraya M. Lane Narrator: Sarah Zimmerman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 15 minutes Release date: November 8, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: From the bestselling author of The Last Correspondent comes a remarkable story of three young women who defy the bombs to do their bit for Britain. Will they survive the dark streets of London to see the Allies win the war? London, 1941. The Blitz. When a Royal Navy memo arrives at head office, requesting female recruits to sign up as motorcycle dispatch riders, delivering highly classified orders across the country, three women jump at the chance to sign up for the most dangerous jobs in London. Olivia grew up riding motorcycles with her brothers, and with them fighting abroad she feels it is her duty to join up. The thrill of adventure draws Ava, but with more enthusiasm than skill, will she learn to navigate the treacherous London streets safely? Having lost her family during one of the first air attacks, Florence knows how important it is to have help arrive on the scene—fast—and so she steps up, outmanoeuvring the men behind the wheel of an ambulance. When Olivia, Ava and Florence meet for the first time they know they have found something all of them need—family. As bombs fall, decimating the city they love, these three brave women build a sisterhood amid the rubble, facing down anyone—even their own families—who objects to their service. And while romances bloom and fade, their connection grows ever stronger. But none of them dare consider the terrifying reality that one night Florence’s ambulance may be rescuing someone she loves… Soraya M.
