Title: The Black Crescent Author: Jane Johnson Narrator: Walles Hamonde Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 54 minutes Release date: August 17, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Bringing 1950s Morocco vividly to life, Jane Johnson's masterful new audiobook, The Black Crescent, is a gripping story of murder, magic and divided loyalties... Hamou Badi is born in a mountain village with the magical signs of the zouhry on his hands. In Morocco, the zouhry is a figure of legend, a child of both humans and djinns, capable of finding all manner of treasure: lost objects, hidden water. But instead, Hamou finds a body. This unsolved murder instils in Hamou a deep desire for order and justice: he trains as an officer of the law, working for the French in Casablanca. But the city is trapped in the turmoil of the nationalist uprising, and soon he will be forced to choose between all he knows and all he loves...

Title: [German] - Schicksalskinder - Schicksals-Trilogie, Folge 3 (ungekürzt) Author: Katja Maybach Narrator: Demet Fey Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 29 minutes Release date: August 25, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Begleiten Sie die Familie Laverne durch die schicksalhaften Jahre ab 1945: Der historische Roman 'Schicksalskinder' ist der 3. Teil der großen Familiensaga 'Die Chronik der Familie Laverne' um einen eleganten Kurort an der französischen Grenze. Bad Lichtenberg im Mai 1945. Für Luise Laverne ist jeder Tag ein Tanz auf dem Drahtseil: Unter ihrer Leitung hat das mondäne Kurhotel der Familie zu altem Glanz zurückgefunden, nun geht die Polit-Prominenz der NSDAP im 'Deutscher Kaiser' ein und aus - während Luise in einem Zimmer ohne Nummer den jüdischen Architekten Simon Roth versteckt, ihre große Liebe. Luises Schwester Victoria fiebert derweil der Premiere in ihrem Showtheater entgegen und übersieht dabei, dass ihre 14-jährige Tochter Natalja sich mit einem Jungen trifft. Und Felix Laverne wartet nach seiner Flucht aus Ostpreußen halb verrückt vor Sorge auf Nachricht von seiner Frau, die ihm mit den beiden Söhnen erst einige Zeit später folgen wollte. Doch noch ist der Krieg nicht vorüber, und eines Nachts heulen schließlich auch in Bad Lichtenberg die Sirenen ... Katja Maybach erzählt im 3. und abschließenden Teil ihres historischen Familienromans vom Ende des 2. Weltkriegs, einer dramatischen Flucht aus Ostpreußen und von einem Familiengeheimnis in Paris - und sie lässt die Kinder der Familie Laverne in eine optimistische Zukunft blicken.

Title: Seastar Author: Pamela Jekel Narrator: Gill Mills Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 33 minutes Release date: July 14, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: SEASTAR is a swashbuckling historical novel that chronicles the adventures of red-haired, green-eyed beautiful Anne Bonny, the Pirate Queen. The saga passionately brings to life Anne's rebellious Southern girlhood, her sensual awakening in the arms of a buccaneer, and the courageous mastery of her own ship and crew. Pamela Jekel's sparkling tale transports you to the exotic Charles Town of the precolonial South; to teeming Port Royal, Jamaica, and to the infamous pirate island of New Providence for duels, plundered treasures, and torrid love scenes on palm-fringed cays. America's only female pirate, Anne Bonny was a legend in her own time; her style of living and loving was extraordinary, capturing the imagination of all who knew or heard of her. She was so notorious that her story has become as famous as those of rogues like Blackbeard, Stede Bonnet, and Calico Jack, who ruled the Caribbean Sea during America's most adventurous and colorful age. Anne was one of them, untamed and as unpredictable as the pirates she loved. A sailor, a fighter, a renegade, and a thief, Anne Bonny was a woman beyond compare. The New York Times bestselling author Pamela Jekel brings us '...the rip-roaring real-life adventures of Anne Bonny, pirate queen of the Caribbean. She dresses like a man, fights like a tiger, and lives in constant danger!' Booklist. 'A romantic heroine with guts and integrity', Publishers Weekly.

Title: [Spanish] - El impío Author: Andrés Spokoiny Narrator: Jaime Collepardo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 19 hours 55 minutes Release date: July 27, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: «Solo él, excomulgado por religiosos y científicos, podía flotar sobre un mundo en transición y entender su magnífica complejidad. Hay cosas que únicamente ven quienes viven en el punto ciego de Dios». Se dice que sin él la historia del mundo hubiese sido distinta. Juan de Prado, médico judeoespañol del siglo XVII, es considerado el padre olvidado de la modernidad. Tuvo en su contra dos condiciones: ser de origen judío y fiel creyente de la razón y la ciencia. En una época en que la Inquisición perseguía fervientemente no solo otras doctrinas religiosas, sino también todas aquellas corrientes de pensamiento que no fueran dogmáticas, el universo filosófico de Juan de Prado se consideraba el de un hereje. Tras muchas desventuras en su natal España y otros países europeos, se asentó en Ámsterdam, donde tuvo oportunidad de conocer al gran Baruch Spinoza. Su influencia en el filósofo fue tal que se le atribuye el origen del racionalismo y la heterodoxia religiosa spinozista. Basada en una profunda y rigurosa investigación, El impío es una novela cargada de aventuras, pero también de las grandes preguntas que atañen al ser humano: ¿qué es la fe? ¿Puede el hombre regirse tan solo mediante la razón? ¿Cómo encontrar un sentido de la existencia?l Andrés Spokoiny Thu, 27 Jul 2023 08:27:45 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/699756 thebookvoice.com 19:55:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/699756]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Juan de Prado, médico judeoespañol del siglo XVII, es considerado el padre olvidado de la modernidad. Tuvo en su contra dos condiciones: ser de origen judío y fiel creyente de la razón y la ciencia. En una época en que la Inquisición perseguía fervientemente no solo otras doctrinas religiosas, sino también todas aquellas corrientes de pensamiento que no fueran dogmáticas, el universo filosófico de Juan de Prado se consideraba el de un hereje. Tras muchas desventuras en su natal España y otros países europeos, se asentó en Ámsterdam, donde tuvo oportunidad de conocer al gran Baruch Spinoza. Su influencia en el filósofo fue tal que se le atribuye el origen del racionalismo y la heterodoxia religiosa spinozista. Basada en una profunda y rigurosa investigación, El impío es una novela cargada de aventuras, pero también de las grandes preguntas que atañen al ser humano: ¿qué es la fe? ¿Puede el hombre regirse tan solo mediante la razón? ¿Cómo encontrar un sentido de la existencia?l Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/699756]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Soldier of Crusade Series: #2 of Crusades Trilogy Author: Jack Ludlow Narrator: David Thorpe Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 17 minutes Release date: August 1, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: 1096. The Pope has called for a crusade to free Jerusalem, and half the warriors of Europe have responded. Among them is the Norman, Count Bohemund, one-time enemy of Byzantium. In company with his warrior nephew, Tancred of Lecce, Bohemund must once more cross the Adriatic to the lands of the Byzantine Empire. His first task, pushing back the infidel Turks, calls for an uneasy alliance with old enemy Emperor Alexius. But can the Crusaders trust the wily Emperor? With old tensions arising, and the violent battles of the People's Crusade bringing destruction upon middle Europe, the strength of this reluctant truce and the de Hauteville dynasty itself are truly put to the test. Bohemund is faced once again with the opportunity to gain power, land, and riches for himself, but do the risks of doing so outweigh the rewards?

Once the besiegers, Bohemund and his men are about to become the besieged - a huge Turkish-led army, commanded by the fearsome General Kerbogha, is fast approaching. Provisions are desperately needed, but the surrounding countryside is near barren and the storerooms of Antioch much depleted. The Crusaders will not hold out for long without falling prey to starvation. For Bohemund and his nephew Tancred there is another difficulty: the dissent between the Crusade leaders has broken out into the open. If the Christian host is fighting on two fronts, so is Bohemund himself. With the enemy Turks at his front and his warring peers at his back, can he gain the mighty city of Antioch once and for all?

Lily couldn't be more different: flat-broke, raised in Tampa, the only child of scientists who fled Mao’s Cultural Revolution. Despite all this, Lily and Matthew fall in love.

Title: Batshit Seven Author: Sheung-King Narrator: Derek Kwan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 57 minutes Release date: February 20, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: From Governor General's Award-nominated author Sheung-King comes a novel about a millennial living through the Hong Kong protests, as he struggles to make sense of modern life and the parts of himself that just won’t gel. Glen Wu (aka Glue) couldn’t care less about his job. He’s returned to Hong Kong, the city he grew up in, and he’s teaching ESL, just to placate his parents. But he shows up hungover to class, barely stays awake, and prefers to spend his time smoking up until dawn breaks.   As he watches the city he loves fall—the protests, the brutal arrests—life continues around him. So he drinks more, picks more fights with his drug dealer friend, thinks loftier thoughts about the post-colonial condition and Frantz Fanon. The very little he does care about: his sister, who deals with Hong Kong’s demise by getting engaged to a rich immigration consultant; his on-and-off-again relationship with a woman who steals things from him; and memories of someone he once met in Canada....   When the government tightens its grip, language starts to lose all meaning for Glue, and he finds himself pulled into an unsettling venture, ultimately culminating in an act of violence.   Inventive and utterly irresistible, Sheung-King’s ingenious novel encapsulates the anxieties and apathies of the millennial experience. Batshit Seven is an ode to a beloved city, an indictment of the cycles of imperialism, and a reminder of the beautiful things left under the hype of commodified living.

Johnstone Narrator: John Mclain Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 34 minutes Release date: September 26, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Slash and Pecos come face-to-face with the baddest hombre they've ever known: a kill-crazy mad man who's paving the road to hell—with bloodlust. He blew into town like a tornado—a mysterious stranger with money to burn and a sadistic streak as wide as the Rio Grande. He says his name is Benson and he's come to invest in the town's future. First, he showers the banks and local businesses with cash. Then, he hires a pair of drunks to fight and get arrested so he can check out the local lawmen. After that, he warms up to a lady of the evening—with deadly results. That's just the beginning. By the time Slash and Pecos return to town after a quick-and-dirty cargo run, Benson has enlisted half the outlaws in the territory for his own private army. The local lawmen are quickly slaughtered and the US marshals are no match. With looters amok and killers festering on every corner, a person would have to be stupid or crazy to try to take the town back . . . Luckily, Slash and Pecos are a little of both. They've been around long enough to see the worst in men—and they know that the best way to stop a very bad hombre . . . is to be even badder. J.A. Johnstone, William W.

Title: [Spanish] - La Corona De Bronce Author: Stefano Vignaroli Narrator: Andre Sosa Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 45 minutes Release date: July 13, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Año 2018: del emblema del Palazzo della Signoria de Jesi desaparece la corona de bronce que desde siempre había estado encima del león rampante, simbolizando la realeza de la ciudad. Un nuevo enigma que resolver para la estudiosa Lucia Balleani que, finalmente después de encontrar el amor en el joven arqueólogo Andrea Franciolini, deberá descubrir junto con él algunas partes desconocidas de la vida de su antepasada Lucia Baldeschi. Así que retrocedemos medio milenio, junto con nuestros dos héroes, para descubrir cómo se vivía entre callejones, plazas y palacios de una espléndida ciudad marquesana, famosa en el mundo, entonces como ahora, por ser la cuna del emperador Federico II. “Pero a ninguno de los dos, alzando la mirada a la parte de arriba del portal y parándose en loa hornacina del león rampante, pudo escapar una peculiaridad, que hizo salir una exclamación de sus bocas, casi al unísono, casi como si fuesen una sola persona: ¡La corona!”Bernardino, el impresor, yace en condiciones desesperadas en una habitación del hospital Santa Lucia. El Cardenal Baldeschi ha muerto de repente y ha dejado vacante el gobierno de la ciudad. ¿Será, finalmente, la joven Lucia Baldeschi la que tomará las riendas del gobierno para evitar que Jesi caiga en las manos de los enemigos que, desde siempre, presionan contra sus puertas? Bien, no se puede dejar el gobierno en manos de cuatro nobles corruptos o, peor, confiarlo al legado pontificio enviado por el Papa. Pero Lucia es una mujer y no es fácil sumir roles de poder, tradicionalmente otorgados a los hombres. Y Andrea, su amor, ¿dónde estará, después de haber escapado del patíbulo y haber desaparecido junto con el Mancino? ¿Volverá a la escena para ayudar a su amada? ¿O controvertidos acontecimientos lo conducirán hacia otras playas? Y recordemos también la historia paralela, la de la estudiosa Lucia Balleani, nuestra contemporánea, que quizás ha encontrado finalmente el amor de su vida, que la llevará de la mano para descubrir junto con el lector nuevos y arcanos secretos. Amor y muerte, esoterismo y razón, bien y mal. Sólo son algunos de los ingredientes que dan ritmo a esta nueva investigación, centrada en la misteriosa desaparición de la corona de bronce, antaño puesta sobre el león rampante del principal palacio jesino, el de la Signoria. Una vez más el pasado se entrelaza con el presente a través de las vivencias paralelas de los protagonistas de nuestros días y de sus homónimos antepasados.

Title: [Spanish] - La Corona De Bronce Author: Stefano Vignaroli Narrator: Andre Sosa Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 45 minutes Release date: July 13, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Año 2018: del emblema del Palazzo della Signoria de Jesi desaparece la corona de bronce que desde siempre había estado encima del león rampante, simbolizando la realeza de la ciudad. Un nuevo enigma que resolver para la estudiosa Lucia Balleani que, finalmente después de encontrar el amor en el joven arqueólogo Andrea Franciolini, deberá descubrir junto con él algunas partes desconocidas de la vida de su antepasada Lucia Baldeschi. Así que retrocedemos medio milenio, junto con nuestros dos héroes, para descubrir cómo se vivía entre callejones, plazas y palacios de una espléndida ciudad marquesana, famosa en el mundo, entonces como ahora, por ser la cuna del emperador Federico II. “Pero a ninguno de los dos, alzando la mirada a la parte de arriba del portal y parándose en loa hornacina del león rampante, pudo escapar una peculiaridad, que hizo salir una exclamación de sus bocas, casi al unísono, casi como si fuesen una sola persona: ¡La corona!”Bernardino, el impresor, yace en condiciones desesperadas en una habitación del hospital Santa Lucia. El Cardenal Baldeschi ha muerto de repente y ha dejado vacante el gobierno de la ciudad. ¿Será, finalmente, la joven Lucia Baldeschi la que tomará las riendas del gobierno para evitar que Jesi caiga en las manos de los enemigos que, desde siempre, presionan contra sus puertas? Bien, no se puede dejar el gobierno en manos de cuatro nobles corruptos o, peor, confiarlo al legado pontificio enviado por el Papa. Pero Lucia es una mujer y no es fácil sumir roles de poder, tradicionalmente otorgados a los hombres. Y Andrea, su amor, ¿dónde estará, después de haber escapado del patíbulo y haber desaparecido junto con el Mancino? ¿Volverá a la escena para ayudar a su amada? ¿O controvertidos acontecimientos lo conducirán hacia otras playas? Y recordemos también la historia paralela, la de la estudiosa Lucia Balleani, nuestra contemporánea, que quizás ha encontrado finalmente el amor de su vida, que la llevará de la mano para descubrir junto con el lector nuevos y arcanos secretos. Amor y muerte, esoterismo y razón, bien y mal. Sólo son algunos de los ingredientes que dan ritmo a esta nueva investigación, centrada en la misteriosa desaparición de la corona de bronce, antaño puesta sobre el león rampante del principal palacio jesino, el de la Signoria. Una vez más el pasado se entrelaza con el presente a través de las vivencias paralelas de los protagonistas de nuestros días y de sus homónimos antepasados.

Ready to set France ablaze, she parachutes into occupied territory and begins work drilling maquisards in guerrilla warfare, determined to thwart the Nazis at every turn – whatever the cost – and avenge the death of her beloved brother.   Soon both sisters are fighting for their survival – unsure if they’ll live to see each other again.

Title: Darkness Falls: A completely gripping WW2 French Resistance novel about twin sisters Series: #1 of The Resistance Sisters Author: Rachel Wesson Narrator: Harrie Dobby Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 42 minutes Release date: August 1, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Paris, 1940: As the German soldiers march down the Champs-Élysées, the Bélanger twins know there is no escape – their lives are about to change forever.    But while Sophie, a third-year medical student, works long days and nights saving casualties of war at the American hospital, and waits anxiously for news of her fiancé from the front line, her recently widowed twin, Adèle, is determined to enjoy her freedom. Nothing – not the bombs, the curfews or the Nazi officers sidling up to her in nightclubs – can stop her from indulging in the temptations of Parisian society as she accompanies their father to glamorous parties.  But rumours are flying through the streets of occupied Paris about their father’s murky business interests, and soon Sophie learns the shocking truth of what’s really happening to their Jewish friends and neighbours. And then tragedy strikes: their beloved brother is arrested for his involvement in the resistance. Devastated and unable to save him, the family is torn apart – and the girls’ lives are changed forever. Broken-hearted, the sisters must each find their own way to fight back. As they too are drawn to the resistance, will Sophie learn to break the rules – risking her own life to save as many innocent children as she can? And Adèle faces her toughest challenge yet when she’s recruited as a special agent for the British. Can she overcome her stubborn nature and use her charms to avenge her brother’s death? One false step and the twins could lose everything they’re fighting for – and each other. A heartbreaking page-turner based on real-life events, this is a devastating story of lives torn apart by war – and of finding the courage to do what is right, even at the darkest of times.

Title: The Last Letter from Paris Author: Kate Eastham Narrator: Imogen Church Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 14 minutes Release date: August 1, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: 1940. Cora Mayhew came to Paris to search for her birth mother and stayed to work for the resistance movement. When Cora's train is struck by Nazi bombs, the only thoughts on her mind as she staggers from the wreckage are to escape to return to her family, and to post the heart-wrenching letter clutched in her hand. Then a German soldier finds and saves Cora. Max Heller is nothing like she would have expected: kind, good-humoured and selfless.

Meirionydd, 1783. Henry Talbot has been dismissed from his post at a prestigious London hospital. The only job he can find is as a physician in the backwaters of Wales where he can't speak the language, belief in myth and magic is rife, and the villagers treat him with bewildering suspicion. When Henry discovers his predecessor died under mysterious circumstances, he is determined to find answers. Linette Tresilian, the unconventional mistress of Plas Helyg, lives a lonely life. Her father is long dead, her mother haunted by demons which keep her locked away in her room, and her cousin treats her with cool disdain - she has had no choice but to become fiercely self-reliant.

When the story unravels, however, Victor’s un-Chinese passion and tension threaten to topple his moral world and mental universe. Now, he must wade into an uncharted journey to unlock the dilemma and to unearth his destiny. Drawing on his own life experiences, George Lee has fashioned an unforgettable coming-of-age story about fate and faith, good and evil, power of imagination and storytelling, and, above all, wonder of English literature. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/698911 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/698911]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: [German] - Die letzten Tage der Menschheit Author: Karl Kraus Narrator: Martin Ploderer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 22 hours 53 minutes Release date: May 2, 2018 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Die letzten Tage der Menschheit ist zwischen 1915 und 1922 als Reaktion auf den Ersten Weltkrieg entstanden. In über 200 nur lose zusammenhängenden Szenen, die auf wahren Quellen beruhen, wird die Unmenschlichkeit und Absurdität des Krieges dargestellt. Kaum eine Szene spielt in unmittelbarer Nähe der Kampfhandlungen. Die wahren Gräuel des Krieges sieht Kraus im Verhalten jener Menschen, die in ihrer Oberflächlichkeit Ernst und Schrecken des Krieges weder wahrnehmen wollen, noch können. Und sich fernab vom Schauplatz bereichern und den Krieg mit Phrasen beschönigen: Journalisten, Händler, hohe Militärs, die sich fern vom Schlachtfeld im Ruhm ihres militärischen Ranges suhlen.

Eine starke, wissbegierige junge Frau und der bedeutende Arzt Paracelsus, der bis heute unser Verständnis einer ganzheitlichen Lehre von Körper und Seele prägt. Ausgerechnet in den Dienst des buckligen Stadtarztes von Basel soll Barbara gehen. Als Tochter eines als unehrenhaft geltenden Abdeckers bleibt ihr keine andere Wahl. Mit ihrer patenten und pragmatischen Art ist die junge Frau das Gegenteil ihres neuen Herrn Paracelsus. Sein Zuhause ist die Wissenschaft, die Medizin, die Lehre. Wegen seiner unkonventionellen Methoden und der aufbrausenden Art wird er jedoch immer wieder angefeindet. So sind sie beide Außenseiter. Bald lernt die Magd den Arzt zu schätzen und ist fasziniert von den Geheimnissen des menschlichen Körpers. Doch dann muss Barbara sich entscheiden, ob sie weiter zu ihm halten kann - und welches ihr eigenes Ziel im Leben ist.

Gabriel Narrator: Gabriele Blum Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 29 minutes Release date: August 18, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Berlin, 1927: Während Marlene nach dem Tod ihres Vaters die Kanzlei übernimmt, kämpfen ihre Mitstreiterinnen weiter für Veränderung. So auch Sophie Maytrott, Abgeordnete der Zentrumspartei, gefangen in einer Ehe mit einem reichen, aber ungeliebten Mann. Mit seinem Geld setzt sie sich für die Kirchen und das Sozialwesen ein, da sie selbst als Kind an Polio erkrankte und von katholischen Nonnen gesundgepflegt wurde. Im feierwütigen Berlin erlebt Sophie die Folgen der allgegenwärtigen Prostitution. Besonders die Kinder von 'gefallenen Frauen', die Geschäfte der Engelmacher und die hohe Selbstmordrate wecken ihren Willen, etwas zu verändern. Unterwegs in den Elendsbezirken trifft sie ihre erste Liebe wieder: einen Priester, seinerzeit Kaplan in dem katholischen Kloster. Der gemeinsame Kampf für die Rechte der Schwächsten bringt die beiden einander nah - doch damit geraten auch Sophies Ehe, ihre gesellschaftliche Position und ihre Reputation als Politikerin in Gefahr.

Title: The Limits: A novel Author: Nell Freudenberger Narrator: Rebecca Lowman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 51 minutes Release date: April 9, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Narrator: 3 of Total 1 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: The most thrilling work yet from the best-selling, prize-winning author of The Newlyweds and Lost and Wanted, a stunning new novel set in French Polynesia and New York City about three characters who undergo massive transformations over the course of a single year “A big-hearted, tightly-plotted novel that bravely takes on our times by looking at the timeless stuff of human intimacy. The Limits is an immersive and powerful book.” –Rumaan Alam, author of Leave the World Behind From Mo’orea, a tiny volcanic island off the coast of Tahiti, a French biologist obsessed with saving Polynesia’s imperiled coral reefs sends her teenage daughter to live with her ex-husband in New York. By the time fifteen-year-old Pia arrives at her father Stephen’s luxury apartment in Manhattan and meets his new, younger wife, Kate, she has been shuttled between her parents’ disparate lives—her father’s consuming work as a surgeon at an overwhelmed New York hospital, her mother’s relentless drive against a ticking ecological clock—for most of her life. Fluent in French, intellectually precocious, moving between cultures with seeming ease, Pia arrives in New York poised for a rebellion, just as COVID sends her and her stepmother together into near total isolation.  A New York City schoolteacher, Kate struggles to connect with a teenager whose capacity for destruction seems exceeded only by her privilege. Even as Kate fails to parent Pia—and questions her own ability to become a mother—one of her sixteen-year-old students is already caring for a toddler full time. Athyna’s love for her nephew, Marcus, is a burden that becomes heavier as she struggles to finish her senior year online. Juggling her manifold responsibilities, Athyna finds herself more and more anxious every time she leaves the house. Just as her fear of what is waiting for her outside her Staten Island community feels insupportable, an incident at home makes her desperate to leave. When their lives collide, Pia and Athyna spiral toward parallel but inescapably different tragedies. Moving from a South Pacific “paradise,” where rage still simmers against the colonial government and its devastating nuclear tests, to the extreme inequalities of twenty-first century New York City, The Limits is an unforgettably moving novel about nation, race, class, and family. Heart-wrenching and humane, a profound work from one of America’s most prodigiously gifted novelists.

Title: [Danish] - Guldgraverne Series: #13 of Australierne Author: Vivian Stuart Narrator: Jesper Bøllehuus Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 10 minutes Release date: August 3, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Den trettende bog i den spændende og dramatiske beretning om Australiens kolonisering – et land skabt af blod, passion og drømme. I 1850'erne er Australien en vildmark, der kun kan tæmmes af stolte mænd og passionerede kvinder som Broomes og Tempests. Det er også et land med en hemmelighed. En hemmelighed, der tiltrækker en ny slags pioner: den guldsøgende. Opdagelsen af guld fører til, at Australien bliver et mekka for mænd som den eventyrlystne og nysgerrige Luke Murphy og for mænd som Jasper Morgan, hvis grådighed overskygger enhver rationel beslutning. Jagten på rigdom og hævn får fatale konsekvenser for indbyggerne, hvis drømme kan sammenbringe nationen eller splitte den ad.

Но на пересечении прозаического повествования и исторических сводок образуется новая возможность говорить на темы, обсуждать которые тяжело, но необходимо. 33 истории, составляющие сборник «На небе никого», позволяют взглянуть на войну глазами ее жертв: военных, гражданских, оккупированных, эвакуированных — мужчин и женщин всех возрастов и национальностей. Из реальных воспоминаний, свидетельств, дневников и наблюдений складывается уникальное повествование, формирующее трагический, но правдивый и реалистичный образ военного времени.

Title: The Blunder: A Novel Author: Mutt-Lon Narrator: Sara Powell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 33 minutes Release date: July 12, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: From a bold voice in African fiction comes a satirical and unputdownable reimagining of an overlooked episode in Cameroon’s colonial past. Cameroon, 1929. As colonial powers fight for influence in Africa, French military surgeon Eugène Jamot is dispatched to Cameroon to lead the fight against sleeping sickness there. But despite his humanitarian intentions, the worst comes to pass: seven hundred local villagers are left blind as a result of medical malpractice by a doctor under Jamot’s watch. Damienne Bourdin, a young white woman, ventures to Cameroon to assist in the treatment effort. Reeling from the loss of her child, she’s desperate to redeem herself and save her reputation. But the tides of rebellion are churning in Cameroon, and soon after Damienne’s arrival, she is enlisted in a wild plot to staunch the damage caused by the blunder and forestall tribal warfare. Together with Ndongo, a Pygmy guide, she must cross the country on foot in search of Edoa, a Cameroonian princess and nurse who has gone missing since the medical blunder was discovered. As Damienne races through the Cameroonian forest on a farcical adventure that unsettles her sense of France’s “civilizing mission,” she begins to question her initial sense of who needed saving and who would save the day.

Title: The Sicilian Inheritance: A Novel Author: Jo Piazza Narrator: Carlotta Brentan, Rachel F. Hirsch Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 53 minutes Release date: April 2, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.5 of Total 8 Ratings of Narrator: 4.5 of Total 6 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: NATIONAL BESTSELLER One of the NY Post's Best Beach Reads, an US Weekly pick for 'mystery novels to read on the beach”, a Woman's World 'captivating beach read you won't be able to put down this summer' ('a riveting saga'), an Eater food-filled beach read for your summer vacation ('an appealing mix of romantic escapism, whodunit intrigue, and feminist introspection.') From bestselling author and award-winning journalist Jo Piazza, comes 'A Journey to the Boot of Italy, With Murder, Romance and Ricotta” (The New York Times) about a disputed inheritance and a family secret that some will kill to protect . . . Sara Marsala barely knows who she is anymore after the failure of her business and marriage. On top of that, her beloved great-aunt Rosie passes away, leaving Sara bereft with grief. But Aunt Rosie’s death also opens an escape from her life and a window into the past by way of a plane ticket to Sicily, a deed to a possibly valuable plot of land, and a bombshell family secret. Rosie believes Sara’s great-grandmother Serafina, the family matriarch who was left behind while her husband worked in America, didn’t die of illness as family lore has it . . . she was murdered. Thus begins a twist-filled adventure that takes Sara all over the picturesque Italian countryside as she races to solve a mystery and learn the story of Serafina—a feisty and headstrong young woman in the early 1900s thrust into motherhood in her teens, who fought for a better life not just for herself but for all the women of her small village. Unsurprisingly the more she challenges the status quo, the more she finds herself in danger. As Sara discovers more about Serafina, she also realizes she is coming head-to-head with the same menacing forces that took down her great-grandmother. At once an immersive multigenerational mystery and an ode to the undaunted heroism of everyday women, The Sicilian Inheritance is an atmospheric, page-turning delight.

Title: The Unearthed Author: Lenny Bartulin Narrator: Lewis Fitz-Gerald Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 57 minutes Release date: August 1, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: The discovery of decades-old human bones in the Tasmanian wilderness reveals tragic connections between the disparate lives of post-war migrants and local workers in a haunting new novel from the author of Fortune. There are animals in the camouflage of undergrowth; they forage this final, fading night hour. They hear the grunting men and lift their heads, listen, then bound away: the scrub, the bushes shake and wave, signalling their invisible trajectories. After decades-old human bones are discovered in the Tasmanian wilderness, Antonia Kovács returns home with questions for her father, a retired police inspector in Queenstown. Meanwhile, Tom Pilar receives news of an inheritance, from a man he barely remembers, one of his father's friends from the early days, newly arrived in the island and looking for work. Set amidst the harsh terrain of the timber and ore industries of the west coast, The Unearthed is a haunting novel about the past and its quiet but tenacious grip on the present. It reveals the tragic connections between the disparate lives of post-war migrants and local workers, and the fallibility of memory, the illusion of truths and the repercussions on real lives.

There are animals in the camouflage of undergrowth; they forage this final, fading night hour.

Meanwhile, Tom Pilar receives news of an inheritance, from a man he barely remembers, one of his father's friends from the early days, newly arrived in the island and looking for work.

But when Isabella first arrived in Boston in 1861, she was twenty years old, newly married to a wealthy trader, and unsure of herself. Puzzled by the frosty reception she received from stuffy blue bloods, she strove to fit in. After two devastating tragedies and rejection from upper-society, Isabella discovered her spirit and cast off expectations. Freed by travel, Isabella explores the world of art, ideas, and letters, meeting such kindred spirits as Henry James and Oscar Wilde. From London and Paris, to Egypt and Asia, she develops a keen eye for paintings and objects, and meets feminists ready to transform nineteenth century thinking in the twentieth century. Isabella becomes an eccentric trailblazer, painted by John Singer Sargent in a portrait of daring décolletage, and fond of such stunts as walking a pair of lions in the Boston Public Garden. The Lioness of Boston is a portrait of what society expected a woman's life to be, shattered by a courageous soul who rebelled and was determined to live on her own terms.

Title: Hidden Cargo: A Novel Author: Robin Lloyd Narrator: Hector Carrillo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 7 minutes Release date: October 17, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Five months after the end of the Civil War, Acting Navy Lieutenant Everett Townsend is awaiting discharge in Key West. The end of the war has left him uncertain about his future and full of regret about the end of his relationship with Emma, the Cuban American daughter of a Havana boarding house owner. His Spanish grandmother—a slave owner who runs a prosperous sugar plantation in the Cuban countryside—is dreaming that Everett will return and take over the family business, a prospect that sickens him. Returning from a routine supply mission from Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas, he and his men are caught in a hurricane and witness a shipwreck in the Marquesas Keys. When they investigate, they discover a locked cargo hold with the dead bodies of Black freedmen. When Townsend reports this unsettling incident to his distracted Naval commander in Key West, he's encouraged to drop the matter. But he can't shake his suspicions that the poor souls from the cargo hold were destined for re-enslavement in the sugar fields of Spanish Cuba. The murder of an American sailor in a Cuban port provides Townsend with a reason to return to Cuba and continue his investigation. A rescue of a Navy veteran leads to more clues and helps convince Townsend to become a government informant operating in the interior of Cuba.

Title: The Swan's Nest: A Novel Author: Laura McNeal Narrator: Nicola Delgado Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 15 minutes Release date: March 12, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: A tender and engrossing historical novel about the unlikely love affair between two great 19th-century poets, Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett. On a bleak January day in 1845, a poet who had been confined to her room for four years by recurrent illness received a letter from a writer she secretly idolized but had never seen. “I love your verses with all my heart, dear Miss Barrett,” Robert Browning wrote, “and I love you too.”   Elizabeth Barrett was ecstatic. She was famous for her poetry but completely cut off from the kind of international travel that Browning used to fuel his obscure, unsuccessful, innovative poems, one of which was written from a murderer’s point of view. They began an affectionate correspondence, but Elizabeth kept delaying a visit. What would happen when he saw her in person? What was Robert really like? Could she persuade her father and brothers that he was honorable, even though she had never met his family? And what would happen if she gave in to Robert’s wild proposal that they go to Italy and see if the sun could cure her?   McNeal brilliantly tells the story of how Robert and Elizabeth fell in love with each other’s words and shocked her conservative, close-knit family and the literary world. Sensitively and lyrically written, as rich as the lovers' own poetry, The Swan's Nest will sweep up readers in the triumphant story of two people forced to choose between a safe, stable life and the love they felt for each other.

Could she persuade her father and brothers that he was honorable, even though she had never met his family? And what would happen if she gave in to Robert’s wild proposal that they go to Italy and see if the sun could cure her?   McNeal brilliantly tells the story of how Robert and Elizabeth fell in love with each other’s words and shocked her conservative, close-knit family and the literary world.

Title: The Swan's Nest: A Novel Author: Laura McNeal Narrator: Nicola Delgado Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 15 minutes Release date: March 12, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: A tender and engrossing historical novel about the unlikely love affair between two great 19th-century poets, Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett. On a bleak January day in 1845, a poet who had been confined to her room for four years by recurrent illness received a letter from a writer she secretly idolized but had never seen. “I love your verses with all my heart, dear Miss Barrett,” Robert Browning wrote, “and I love you too.”   Elizabeth Barrett was ecstatic. She was famous for her poetry but completely cut off from the kind of international travel that Browning used to fuel his obscure, unsuccessful, innovative poems, one of which was written from a murderer’s point of view. They began an affectionate correspondence, but Elizabeth kept delaying a visit. What would happen when he saw her in person? What was Robert really like?

Title: Song of the Huntress Author: Lucy Holland Narrator: Lucy Holland, Kristin Atherton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 18 hours 47 minutes Release date: March 19, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: The acclaimed author of Sistersong transforms the story of Herla and the Wild Hunt into a rich, feminist fantasy in this stunning tale of two great warriors, a war-torn land, and an ancient magic that is slowly awakening. Britain, 60AD. Hoping to save her lover, her land, and her people from the Romans, Herla makes a desperate pact with the king of the Otherworld. But years pass unheeded in his realm, and she escapes to find everyone she loved long dead. Cursed to wield his blade, she becomes Lord of the Hunt. And for centuries, she rides, leading her immortal warriors and reaping wanderers’ souls. Until the night she meets a woman on a bloody battlefield—a Saxon queen with ice-blue eyes. Queen Æthelburg of Wessex is a proven fighter. But when she leads her forces to disaster in battle, her husband’s court turns against her. Yet King Ine needs Æthel more than ever. Something dark and dangerous is at work in the Wessex court. His own brother seeks to usurp him. And their only hope is the magic in Ine’s bloodline that’s lain dormant since ancient days. The moment she and Æthel meet, Herla knows it’s no coincidence. The dead kings are waking. The Otherworld seeks to rise, to bring the people of Britain under its dominion. And as Herla and Æthel grow closer, Herla must find her humanity—and a way to break the curse—before it’s too late.

Title: [Spanish] - La travesía final Author: José Calvo Poyato Narrator: Juan Carlos Albarracín Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 21 hours 41 minutes Release date: July 5, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: «La aventura de Juan Sebastián Elcano después de la primera vuelta al mundo» Elcano recibía, en 1522, el derecho a usar un escudo de armas con el lema «Primus circumdedisti me». Carlos I se lo otorgaba tras culminar la primera circunnavegación a la tierra. Esa gesta, que generó no pocas tensiones con Portugal, lo convirtió en uno de los marinos más respetados del reino. Recompensado también con una generosa pensión, no iba, sin embargo, a quedarse en tierra tan fácilmente. Era un marino de raza y todos sus esfuerzos se encaminaron al apresto de una nueva expedición que, navegando por la ruta abierta hasta las islas de las Especias, las incorporase a los dominios del rey de España. Elcano soñó con ser su capitán general y lo conseguirá… pero, ¿a qué precio? Una nueva novela donde se dan la mano acontecimientos y personajes históricos de una época clave de nuestra historia en la que discurre la vida de Elcano después de haber dado la primera vuelta al mundo. Unos años en los que Carlos I acarició el proyecto de incorporar las islas de las Especias al imperio español y en los que llegó a fundarse, en La Coruña, la Casa de la Contratación de la Especiería. Fue aquel un tiempo en que menudearon los desencuentros con los portugueses y también los acuerdos para cerrar matrimonios reales, y hubo además fuertes tensiones en la corte y guerra contra la Francia de Francisco I, que acabará preso en Madrid. Elcano será testigo de todos estos acontecimientos y protagonista de otros, como las Juntas de Badajoz-Elvas, donde la cartografía, uno de los grandes secretos de Estado, será de gran importancia. «A Calvo Poyato lo avalan las dotes del historiador bien pertrechado (…) y sobre estos cimientos firmes ha levantado (…) una obra que reconstruye con trazos vívidos aquella proeza y, sobre todo, a los personajes que la protagonizaron».

Title: The Tower: A Novel Author: Flora Carr Narrator: Kristin Atherton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 3 minutes Release date: March 5, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: A New Yorker Best Book of the Year • A bold, feminist debut novel, reimagining Mary, Queen of Scots’s darkest hour, when she was held hostage in a remote Scottish castle with a handful of loyal women while plotting a daring escape to reclaim her country and her freedom. 'Such a vivid, visceral read, you feel you’re locked in the tower alongside the characters, acting out a royal family drama. I am moved and impressed.' --Tracy Chevalier, New York Times bestselling author of Girl with a Pearl Earring Scotland, 1567. A pregnant Mary, Queen of Scots is dragged out of her palace by rebel lords and imprisoned in the isolated Lochleven Castle, an ancient fortress surrounded by a vast lake. Her infant son and heir, James, has been captured by her enemies.  Accompanying Mary are two inconspicuous serving women: observant, ambitious Jane and romantic, quick-tempered Cuckoo, who endeavor to keep their mercurial mistress company while sharing the space of a claustrophobic room over the course of their eleven-month forced stay. Their hosts want them dead. They'll settle for Mary's abdication. After Mary reluctantly surrenders her throne, her closest friend, the reserved, devoted Lady Seton, is permitted to join the captive women. Against the odds, as they hatch a perilous getaway plan, the four women form a bond that transcends class and religion, and for Jane and Seton, becomes something even deeper. At the center of it all is Mary--calculating, charming, brave, and unbowed.

'Such a vivid, visceral read, you feel you’re locked in the tower alongside the characters, acting out a royal family drama. I am moved and impressed.' --Tracy Chevalier, New York Times bestselling author of Girl with a Pearl Earring Scotland, 1567. A pregnant Mary, Queen of Scots is dragged out of her palace by rebel lords and imprisoned in the isolated Lochleven Castle, an ancient fortress surrounded by a vast lake. Her infant son and heir, James, has been captured by her enemies.  Accompanying Mary are two inconspicuous serving women: observant, ambitious Jane and romantic, quick-tempered Cuckoo, who endeavor to keep their mercurial mistress company while sharing the space of a claustrophobic room over the course of their eleven-month forced stay. Their hosts want them dead. They'll settle for Mary's abdication. After Mary reluctantly surrenders her throne, her closest friend, the reserved, devoted Lady Seton, is permitted to join the captive women. Against the odds, as they hatch a perilous getaway plan, the four women form a bond that transcends class and religion, and for Jane and Seton, becomes something even deeper. At the center of it all is Mary--calculating, charming, brave, and unbowed.

Meanwhile, Huck Finn has faked his own death to escape his violent father, recently returned to town. As all readers of American literature know, thus begins the dangerous and transcendent journey by raft down the Mississippi River toward the elusive and too-often-unreliable promise of the Free States and beyond.

Brimming with the electrifying humor and lacerating observations that have made Everett a “literary icon” (Oprah Daily), and one of the most decorated writers of our lifetime, James is destined to be a cornerstone of twenty-first century American literature.

Title: Becoming Madam Secretary Author: Stephanie Dray Narrator: Cassandra Campbell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 57 minutes Release date: March 12, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.38 of Total 8 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 3 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: She took on titans, battled generals, and changed the world as we know it… New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Dray returns with a captivating and dramatic new novel about an American heroine Frances Perkins. Raised on tales of her revolutionary ancestors, Frances Perkins arrives in New York City at the turn of the century, armed with her trusty parasol and an unyielding determination to make a difference. When she’s not working with children in the crowded tenements in Hell’s Kitchen, Frances throws herself into the social scene in Greenwich Village, befriending an eclectic group of politicians, artists, and activists, including the millionaire socialite Mary Harriman Rumsey, the flirtatious budding author Sinclair Lewis, and the brilliant but troubled reformer Paul Wilson, with whom she falls deeply in love. But when Frances meets a young lawyer named Franklin Delano Roosevelt at a tea dance, sparks fly in all the wrong directions. She thinks he’s a rich, arrogant dilettante who gets by on a handsome face and a famous name. He thinks she’s a priggish bluestocking and insufferable do-gooder. Neither knows it yet, but over the next twenty years, they will form a historic partnership that will carry them both to the White House. Frances is destined to rise in a political world dominated by men, facing down the Great Depression as FDR’s most trusted lieutenant—even as she struggles to balance the demands of a public career with marriage and motherhood. And when vicious political attacks mount and personal tragedies threaten to derail her ambitions, she must decide what she’s willing to do—and what she’s willing to sacrifice—to save a nation.

A propulsive and piercing debut, set ten years before the events of Shakespeare’s historic play, about the ambition, power, and fate that define one of literature’s most notorious figures: Lady Macbeth. Scotland, the 11th Century. Born in a noble household and granddaughter of a forgotten Scottish king, a young girl carries the guilt of her mother’s death and the weight of an unknowable prophecy. When she is married, at fifteen, to the Mormaer of Moray, she experiences firsthand the violence of a sadistic husband and a kingdom constantly at war. To survive with her young son in a superstitious realm, she must rely on her own cunning and wit, especially when her husband’s downfall inadvertently sets them free. Suspicious of the dark devices that may have led to his father’s death, her son watches as his mother falls in love with the enigmatic thane Macbeth. Now a woman of stature, Lady Macbeth confronts a world of masculine power and secures the protection of her family. But the coronation of King Duncan and the political maneuvering of her cousin Macduff set her on a tragic course, one where her own success might mean embracing the very curse that haunts her and risking the child she loves.

When she is married, at fifteen, to the Mormaer of Moray, she experiences firsthand the violence of a sadistic husband and a kingdom constantly at war. To survive with her young son in a superstitious realm, she must rely on her own cunning and wit, especially when her husband’s downfall inadvertently sets them free. Suspicious of the dark devices that may have led to his father’s death, her son watches as his mother falls in love with the enigmatic thane Macbeth. Now a woman of stature, Lady Macbeth confronts a world of masculine power and secures the protection of her family. But the coronation of King Duncan and the political maneuvering of her cousin Macduff set her on a tragic course, one where her own success might mean embracing the very curse that haunts her and risking the child she loves. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/697190 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/697190]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Young widow Cecilia Thorowgood is a prisoner, trapped and isolated within her older sister’s cavernous London townhouse. At the mercy of a legion of doctors trying to cure her grief with their impatient scalpels, Cecilia shows no sign of improvement. Soon, her sister makes a decision born of desperation: She hires a new physician, someone known for more unusual methods. But he is a foreigner. A Jew. And despite his attempts to save Cecilia, he knows he cannot quell the storm of sorrow that rages inside her. There is no easy cure for melancholy. David Mendes fled Portugal to seek a new life in London, where he could practice his faith openly and leave the past behind. Still reeling from the loss of his beloved friend and struggling with his religion and his past, David is free and safe in this foreign land but incapable of happiness.

Facing seemingly insurmountable challenges, David and Cecilia must endure prejudice, heartbreak, and calamity before they can be together. The Great Fire is coming—and with the city in flames around them, love has never felt so impossible.

A generation later, Star’s son, Charles, is sent to the school, where he is brutalized by the man who was once his father’s jailer. Under Pratt’s harsh treatment, Charles clings to moments he shares with a young fellow student, Opal Viola, as the two envision a future away from the institutional violence that follows their bloodlines.

Title: [Spanish] - La jaula de los onas Author: Carlos Gamerro Narrator: Mario De Candia Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 15 minutes Release date: July 13, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: La increíble aventura de Kalapakte, un indígena selk'nam (ona) secuestrado junto con su familia y exhibido en la Exposición Universal de París en 1889, quien tras años de peregrinaciones por la variada geografía de Europa, América del Norte y del Sur logra regresar por sus propios medios a su Tierra del Fuego natal. Esta nueva novela significa la incorporación al sello Alfaguara de Carlos Gamerro, uno de los escritores más importantes de la lengua castellana en la actualidad. Con extremado rigor, frecuentes momentos de humor y un variadísimo repertorio de recursos narrativos y estilísticos, Gamerro nos ofrece una novela monumental, hiperbólica, que revive el avasallamiento de las culturas americanas por la cultura europea, revela el racismo constitutivo de todas las formas de saber del siglo XIX y buena parte del XX, y reverbera con el choque de las culturas supuestamente 'bárbaras' de América y las supuestamente 'civilizadas' de Europa. La crítica ha dicho: «Las Islas, con la capacidad explosiva de su narración, se asegura lo que las otras novelas no tienen: un lugar entre la mejor narrativa argentina de estos años.» Sergio Olguín, La Nación «Toda la historia del país profetiza Malvinas (Lugones y la salmodia nacionalista, el peronismo, el Proceso), lo que vendrá es consecuencia de Malvinas: la trama de intrigas de una democracia dudosa, el sistema de terror del capitalismo salvaje.» Paola Cortés Rocca, Tres puntos, sobre Las Islas «El poder de invención de Gamerro hace que el lector siga leyendo, ansioso por saber qué es lo que viene a continuación.» Nick Caistor, The Guardian, sobre Las islas «Las islas no es una novela complaciente, sino que ofrece mal gusto a conciencia, usando la fuerza negativa de los tabús, de la escatología, de lo profano y de la representación de la violencia.» Martín Schifino, Independent «Su inteligente y cómica novela sobre un empresario convencional argentino, atrapado en la política de la guerrilla, es implacablemente optimista en su sátira mordaz.» Kirkus Reviews, sobre Las islas «Gamerro tiene una facilidad enorme para plantar ese detalle perfecto que define un ámbito, o para cambiar el registro de las voces sin caer nunca en un estereotipo; pero lo más importante de estos cuentos es que están impregnados de nostalgia, espontaneidad y una rara belleza, mucho más conmovedoras que cualquier virtuosismo.» Mariana Enríquez, 'Radar Libros' sobre El libro de los afectos raros «La literatura de Gamerro se asienta sobre tres pilares fundamentales: tramas magistralmente urdidas, personajes que sin resignar profundidad rozan todo el tiempo lo pop y una mirada entre crítica y humorística sobre la realidad nacional.» Federico Falco, Diario Perfil Carlos Gamerro Thu, 13 Jul 2023 08:27:45 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/697137 thebookvoice.com 15:15:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/697137]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Oceans and the Stars: A Sea Story, A War Story, A Love Story; The Seven Battles and Mutiny of Athena, Patrol Coastal Ship 15 Author: Mark Helprin Narrator: Traber Burns Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 21 hours 36 minutes Release date: October 3, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.6 of Total 10 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Mark Helprin, New York Times bestselling author of Winter’s Tale and A Soldier of the Great War, returns with a fast-paced, beautifully written novel about the majesty of the sea; a life dedicated to duty, honor, and country; and the gift of falling in love. A Navy captain near the end of a decorated career, Stephen Rensselaer is disciplined, intelligent, and determined always to do what’s right. In defending the development of a new variant of warship, he makes an enemy of the president of the United States, who assigns him to command the doomed line’s only prototype­––Athena, Patrol Coastal 15­­––with the intent to humiliate a man who should have been an admiral. Rather than resign, Rensselaer takes the new assignment in stride, and while supervising Athena’s fitting out in New Orleans, encounters a brilliant lawyer, Katy Farrar, with whom he falls in last-chance love. Soon thereafter, he is deployed on a mission that subjects his integrity, morality, and skill to the ultimate test and which ensures that Athena will live forever in the annals of the Navy. As in the Odyssey, Katy is the force that keeps him alive and the beacon that lights the way home through seven battles, mutiny, and court martial. In classic literary form, an enthralling new novel that extolls the virtues of living by the laws of conscience, decency, and sacrifice, The Oceans and the Stars is nothing short of a masterpiece.

After the death of her beloved mother, nineteen-year-old Romilly Brooks impulsively accepts a job as a nanny, accompanying eight-year-old Freddie and his grandmother on a sea voyage from war-torn London to the safety of New York. From the first, Romilly is entranced by the opulent ocean liner… if only she could put the idea of German U-boats circling beneath the waves out of her mind. Then she meets Edward Witney. Handsome and attentive, Edward wants to know everything about her, without sharing anything of himself. Why is this mysterious man aboard the Lucknow, and who is the dark-haired woman with an unplaceable accent he keeps whispering with behind closed doors? Just as she’s beginning to unpick his secrets, a thunderous explosion tears through the night. A German torpedo has struck the ship, and Romilly and Freddie are thrown into the deadly Atlantic.

Title: The British Booksellers Author: Kristy Cambron Narrator: Barrie Kreinik Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 18 minutes Release date: April 9, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Inspired by real accounts of the Forgotten Blitz bombings, The British Booksellers highlights the courage of those whose lives were forever changed by war—and the stories that bind us in the fight for what matters most. A tenant farmer’s son had no business daring to dream of a future with an earl’s daughter, but that couldn’t keep Amos Darby from his secret friendship with Charlotte Terrington…until the reality of the Great War sobered youthful dreams. Now decades later, he bears the brutal scars of battles fought in the trenches and their futures that were stolen away. His return home doesn’t come with tender reunions, but with the hollow fulfillment of opening a bookshop on his own and retreating as a recluse within its walls. When the future Earl of Harcourt chose Charlotte to be his wife, she knew she was destined for a loveless match. Though her heart had chosen another long ago, she pledges her future even as her husband goes to war. Twenty-five years later, Charlotte remains a war widow who divides her days between her late husband’s declining estate and operating a quaint Coventry bookshop—Eden Books, lovingly named after her grown daughter. And Amos is nothing more than the rival bookseller across the lane. As war with Hitler looms, Eden is determined to preserve her father’s legacy. So when an American solicitor arrives threatening a lawsuit that could destroy everything they’ve worked so hard to preserve, mother and daughter prepare to fight back. But with devastation wrought by the Luftwaffe’s local blitz terrorizing the skies, battling bookshops—and lost loves, Amos and Charlotte—must put aside their differences and fight together to help Coventry survive. From deep in the trenches of the Great War to the storied English countryside and the devastating Coventry Blitz of World War II, The British Booksellers explores the unbreakable bonds that unite us through love, loss, and the enduring solace that can be found between the pages of a book. - Split timeline: WWI and WWII - Stand-alone novel - Book length: 118,000 words - Includes discussion questions for book clubs Kristy Cambron Tue, 09 Apr 2024 08:27:45 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/696733 thebookvoice.com 11:18:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/696733]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Meet the queen of Happy Land. Transformative and breathtakingly honest, The American Queen is based on actual events that occurred between 1865 - 1889 and shares the unsung history of a Black woman who built a kingdom in Appalachia as a refuge for the courageous people who dared to dream of a different way of life. Over the twenty-four years she was enslaved on the Montgomery Plantation, Louella learned to feel one thing: hate. Hate for the man who sold her mother. Hate for the overseer who left her daddy to hang from a noose. Hate so powerful there's no room in her heart for love, not even for the honorable Reverend William, whom she likes and respects enough to marry. But when William finally listens to Louella's pleas and leads the formerly enslaved people off the plantation, Louella begins to replace her hate with hope. Hope that they will find a place where they can live free from fear. Hope that despite her many unanswered prayers, she can learn to trust for new miracles. Soon, William and Louella become the appointed king and queen of their self-proclaimed Kingdom of the Happy Land. And though they are still surrounded by opposition, they continue to share a message of joy and goodness--and fight for the freedom and dignity of all. The American Queen weaves together themes of love, hate, hope, trust, and resilience in the face of great turmoil. With every turn of the page, you will be transported to a pivotal period in American history, where oppressed people become extraordinary heroes.

Meet the queen of Happy Land. Transformative and breathtakingly honest, The American Queen is based on actual events that occurred between 1865 - 1889 and shares the unsung history of a Black woman who built a kingdom in Appalachia as a refuge for the courageous people who dared to dream of a different way of life. Over the twenty-four years she was enslaved on the Montgomery Plantation, Louella learned to feel one thing: hate. Hate for the man who sold her mother. Hate for the overseer who left her daddy to hang from a noose. Hate so powerful there's no room in her heart for love, not even for the honorable Reverend William, whom she likes and respects enough to marry. But when William finally listens to Louella's pleas and leads the formerly enslaved people off the plantation, Louella begins to replace her hate with hope. Hope that they will find a place where they can live free from fear. Hope that despite her many unanswered prayers, she can learn to trust for new miracles. Soon, William and Louella become the appointed king and queen of their self-proclaimed Kingdom of the Happy Land. And though they are still surrounded by opposition, they continue to share a message of joy and goodness--and fight for the freedom and dignity of all. The American Queen weaves together themes of love, hate, hope, trust, and resilience in the face of great turmoil. With every turn of the page, you will be transported to a pivotal period in American history, where oppressed people become extraordinary heroes. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/696274 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/696274]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Forced on a terrifying death march from the notorious concentration camp, midwife and former secret agent Maggie must find the strength to protect the tiny baby girl her dying friend left in her care.

So when a company of soldiers led by brave Captain Jamie Maclean rescues the marching women, Maggie’s relief knows no bounds. But it soon turns to astonishment when Jamie vows to help Maggie reunite Leah with her father—he has fallen in love with Maggie and will do everything in his power to assist her. Maggie can’t yet trust her own budding feelings. But she accepts Jamie’s help and slowly starts to dream of a life together—until Maggie gets the news every survivor dreads.

For the Shah parents, who came to America twenty years earlier with little more than an education and their new marriage, this move represents the culmination of years of hard work and dreaming. For their children, born and raised in America, success is not so simple. For the most part, these differences among the five members of the Shah family are minor irritants, arguments between parents and children, older and younger siblings. But one Saturday night, the twelve-year-old son is arrested. The fallout from that event will shake each family member’s perception of themselves as individuals, as community members, as Americans, and will lead each to consider: how do we define success? At what cost comes ambition? And what is our role and responsibility in the cultural mosaic of modern America? For readers of The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett and Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid, A Great Country explores themes of immigration, generational conflict, social class and privilege as it reconsiders the myth of the model minority and questions the price of the American dream.

They are the young wives, widows, and daughters of London’s wealthiest families. The drama is big, the money runs deep, and the shade is real. Life is different in the ton. “I liked my husband well enough … but I like him even better dead.” It’s been a year since her wretched cad of a husband died and Valencia, the Dowager Duchess of Dedham, is finally her own woman. Flitting from party to party, freedom is sweet and life should be perfect. Until the new duke surfaces.  Nothing like the haughty noblemen who populate the ton, Rhain, the newly minted Duke of Dedham, is a big brawny Welshman with an accent that makes Valencia’s knees go weak as he boldly moves into her home with his six wild unwed sisters. The rude and humorless usurper thinks her vain and spoiled.

Nadia is a young refugee who just wants to forget the past—until Iggy starts temping at her London office. Afraid he may be a sniper from the war she fled, Nadia starts seeing threats everywhere, alongside unsettling visions of her lost girlfriend, Sanja. As her volatile connection with Iggy unravels, Nadia is forced to face the ethically shaky choices she made to escape the war, her survivor guilt, and her disavowed queer sexuality.

Title: War of Hearts Author: Tania Farrelly Narrator: Tania Farrelly Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 19 minutes Release date: September 19, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: 1917: America's declaration of war against Germany gives Grace Winter, a keen-eyed New York Times investigative reporter, a much sought after opportunity to make her mark on the Western Front, albeit in ways she had never expected. But by 1918 the gruesome reality of trench warfare has set in, and an invisible new enemy - The Spanish Flu - is killing allied soldiers in their droves. Father Jude is no ordinary priest. He's proven himself as fearless on the battlefield as any soldier, and as compassionate as any man of the cloth. He is willing to put himself in the line of fire to save the souls of young men on both sides of the barbed wire. But things get complicated when he renders assistance to the sharp-witted war correspondent, Grace. As their mission to filter secrets back through enemy lines become increasingly perilous, so too does their attraction. And when Grace catches the priest taking an obsessive interest in a tiny silver music box gifted to her by an unknown soldier, she suspects the good Father may be keeping a devastating secret. Grace must trust her instincts and make an impossible choice, between the life of one man and the lives of many men. Set against the backdrop of World War One and spanning three continents, this is a heart-stopping story of forbidden love and courage that explores the nature of faith, the quest for redemption and the true meaning of grace.

Inzwischen ist von ihren Träumen nur ein kümmerlicher Rest übrig geblieben. Dennoch kämpft sie verbissen weiter und übermittelt geheime Informationen an die Rote Armee, die längst vor den Toren Berlins steht. Das Ende des Krieges und die Freiheit sind zum Greifen nah. Wäre da nicht Weiler, der mit einer Gruppe eingeschworener Nationalsozialisten verhindern will, dass Augusta den Russen eine geheime Akte übergibt, die ihn das Leben kosten könnte. Es beginnt ein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit, in dem Weiler nicht davor zurückscheut, auch Augustas Tochter als Köder zu benutzen.

Title: Medea Author: Rosie Hewlett Narrator: Kristin Atherton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 25 minutes Release date: March 21, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. From an unmissable new voice comes the powerful and epic story of mythology's darkest heroine. Shunned. Persecuted. Tormented. Medea longs for a different life. Since childhood, she has been separated from her sister, shunned by her mother, and persecuted and tormented by her brother and father. All because of a unique and dangerous talent: witchcraft. Fierce. Powerful. Sorceress. But when a dashing young hero, Jason, arrives to claim the famed Golden Fleece that her father fiercely protects, Medea sees her opportunity for escape. Her offer to help Jason overcome the trials set by her father sets in motion a journey that will test every ounce of her strength, magic and loyalty; a journey that will see her battle monsters, dethrone kings and fall in love.

But Dartmoor and its mist-shrouded environs hold special appeal for both Sheridans. Kate hopes to find inspiration for her new Gothic novel while Charles plans to implement a fingerprinting program at the prison—and arrange a meeting with one of its most infamous inmates, Samuel Spencer. He’s convinced that Spencer—a Scotsman who admitted to killing his wife—is, in fact, innocent. What’s more, he believes he has the evidence to prove it. But Spencer continues to maintain his own guilt—and, as if to confirm it, he soon stages a daring prison escape. Lord Charles and his acquaintance Arthur Conan Doyle are most perplexed by this odd turn of events. And when a body turns up on the moor, it’s up to the two men—and the clever Kate—to discover if the missing convict is connected to this murderous new case… Robin Paige Tue, 29 Aug 2023 08:27:46 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/695707 thebookvoice.com 8:56:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/695707]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Secret Sister Author: Liz Trenow Narrator: Penelope Rawlins Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 17 minutes Release date: September 26, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: England, 1944. As I look around the childhood room I used to share with my twin brother, Ed, I realize just how much the war has taken from us already. Ed was never the same after he helped our father in the Dunkirk rescue. Clutching his call-up letter in my hands, I know that Ed has fled, leaving behind his family and all he has ever known. But I know that if Ed fails to accept his call-up then he will be found and imprisoned. I’m his sister, and I’ll do whatever it takes to protect him. As I step into his overcoat and study myself in the mirror, I realize there might just be a way to save him, if only I can find the courage to do it. Arriving at the call up, I’m told that I’m to become a Bevin boy, one of the many men called to work in the mines and power the country through the war. I hesitate, unsure if I can really take on such difficult work whilst my friends become land girls and nurses. But my brother and my country need me, and in that moment, I vow to do whatever it takes. As I adapt to my new life, I meet a young man named Peter, and as we grow closer, I realize that I am slowly losing my heart to him. But I know the risks if the secret of who I really am is ever revealed. How much am I prepared to sacrifice for the ones I love the most? Perfect for fans of The Alice Network, The Nightingale, and Rhys Bowen, this completely gripping and heartbreaking story of love, courage, and a sister’s sacrifice shines a light on the forgotten heroes of World War Two.

Title: The Art of Breaking Ice Author: Rachael Mead Narrator: Jessica Douglas-Henry Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 25 minutes Release date: July 21, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: In 1960, when the legendary icebreaker Magga Dan set sail for Antarctica, it contained a secret. Hiding on board was Nel Law, wife of expedition leader Phillip Law. She would make history by becoming the first Australian woman to set foot on the icy continent, but it was her art that would change everything. Though a talented artist, Nel has always been defined by her role as ‘the explorer's wife', but in the clear expanse of the Southern Ocean, her true self is finally allowed to emerge. Despite misogyny from the all-male crew and increasing resentment from her mercurial husband, Nel's art begins to flourish. Her new friend, a gentle ornithologist, encourages her to explore, but as the ship ploughs on towards Antarctica, rumours swirl, threatening her marriage and the tenuous peace between the controlling Phillip and his crew. In the clear, white light of the south, Nel will be forced to confront the truth of herself and the man to whom she has dedicated her life. This stunning reimagining of Nel Law's life reveals a ground-breaking artist searching for freedom in a world where women's lives were still defined by their husbands.

Title: This Side of Innocence Author: Taylor Caldwell Narrator: Paul Woodson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 25 hours 28 minutes Release date: October 17, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: #1 New York Times Bestseller: A saga of power, greed, and illicit love set in the Gilded Age of upstate New York. Jerome Lindsey and his foster brother, Alfred, couldn't be more different. The son of a wealthy banker in upstate New York, Jerome leaves home for a life of extravagance and adventure, seducing countless women along the way. Meanwhile, Alfred becomes an executive at the family bank and his adoptive father's heir apparent. After his wife dies, Alfred shows little interest in remarrying—until he meets Amalie Maxwell, the ravishing and headstrong daughter of a tenant farmer. Fearing that his inheritance is at stake, Jerome returns home to expose Amalie as a shameless gold digger. But the more he schemes against her, the closer he's drawn to her. Now, Jerome and Amalie will discover the thin line between love and hate—and that a moment of passion can have a lifetime's worth of consequences. A mesmerizing tale of forbidden desire and a brilliant portrait of small-town America during the Reconstruction Era, This Side of Innocence is 'a masterful piece of storytelling' from one of the twentieth century's most beloved authors (The Philadelphia Inquirer).

Title: The Lost Book of Bonn: A Novel Author: Brianna Labuskes Narrator: Christa Lewis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 58 minutes Release date: March 19, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: USA Today Bestseller For fans of The Rose Code and The Librarian Spy comes another literary themed historical novel from the author of The Librarian of Burned Books. Germany, 1946: Emmy Clarke is a librarian not a soldier. But that doesn’t stop the Library of Congress from sending her overseas to Germany to help the Monuments Men retrieve and catalog precious literature that was plundered by the Nazis. The Offenbach Archival Depot and its work may get less attention than returning art to its rightful owners, but for Emmy, who sees the personalized messages on the inside of the books and the notes in margins of pages, it feels just as important. On Emmy’s first day at work, she finds a poetry collection by Rainer Maria Rilke, and on the title page is a handwritten dedication: “To Annelise, my brave Edelweiss Pirate.” Emmy is instantly intrigued by the story behind the dedication and becomes determined to figure out what happened. The hunt for the rightful owner of the book leads Emmy to two sisters, a horrific betrayal, and an extraordinary protest against the Nazis that was held in Berlin at the height of the war. Nearly a decade earlier, hundreds of brave women gathered in the streets after their Jewish husbands were detained by the Gestapo. Through freezing rain and RAF bombings, the women faced down certain death and did what so few others dared to do under the Third Reich. They said no. Emmy grapples with her own ghosts as she begins to wonder if she’s just chasing two more. What she finds instead is a powerful story of love, forgiveness, and courage that brings light to even the darkest of postwar days.

Title: Medea: A Novel Author: Eilish Quin Narrator: Gail Shalan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 35 minutes Release date: February 13, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Discover the full story of the sorceress Medea, one of the most reviled and maligned women of Greek antiquity, in this “haunting, deeply moving” (Claire Legrand, New York Times bestselling author) debut in the tradition of Circe, Elektra, and Stone Blind. Among the women of Greek mythology, the witch Medea may be the most despised. Known for the brutal act of killing her own children to exact vengeance on her deceitful husband, Jason, the leader of the Argonauts, Medea has carved out a singularly infamous niche in our histories. But what if that isn’t the full story? The daughter of a sea nymph and the granddaughter of a Titan, Medea is a paradox. She is at once rendered compelling by virtue of the divinity that flows through her bloodline and made powerless by the fact of her being a woman. As a child, she intuitively submerges herself in witchcraft and sorcery but soon finds her skills may not be a match for the prophecies that hang over her entire family like a shroud. As Medea comes into her own as a woman and a witch, she also faces the arrival of the hero Jason, preordained by the gods to be not only her husband but also her lifeline to escape her isolated existence. Medea travels the treacherous seas with the Argonauts, battles demons she has never imagined, and falls in love with the man who may ultimately be her downfall in this fresh and propulsive “must-have” (Library Journal, starred review) read in which you will finally hear Medea’s side of the story through a fresh and feminist lens.

Title: [Spanish] - La guardiana de recuerdos de Kyiv Author: Erin Litteken Narrator: Marta Moreno, Eva Coll Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 7 minutes Release date: July 11, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Inspirándose en la historia que el mundo olvidó y que el Gobierno ruso niega, Erin Litteken relata la crisis de una hambruna provocada por el hombre que, en Ucrania, robó casi cuatro millones de vidas. Es 1929 y Katya tiene dieciséis años, está rodeada de su familia y enamorada de su amigo de la infancia. Cuando los activistas de Stalin empiezan a llegar a Ucrania defendiendo la grandeza de la agricultura colectiva, son solo unos pocos. Pero pronto los vecinos empiezan a desaparecer; los que hablan nunca vuelven. A partir de entonces, cada nuevo día se convierte un futuro incierto. La resistencia tiene un precio y, mientras la desesperación y el hambre se apoderan del campo, la supervivencia parece más un sueño que una posibilidad… Pero, incluso en los momentos más oscuros, el amor prevalece. Setenta años después, una joven viuda descubre el diario de su abuela, un hallazgo que revelará los secretos enterrados del tormentoso pasado de su familia, a la vez que le enseñará a hacer las paces con el amor después de la pérdida de su marido. Esta es una historia sobre la resiliencia del espíritu humano, el amor que nos acompaña en nuestras horas más oscuras y el verdadero horror del Holodomor, una de las grandes hambrunas de la historia de Europa.

Setenta años después, una joven viuda descubre el diario de su abuela, un hallazgo que revelará los secretos enterrados del tormentoso pasado de su familia, a la vez que le enseñará a hacer las paces con el amor después de la pérdida de su marido. Esta es una historia sobre la resiliencia del espíritu humano, el amor que nos acompaña en nuestras horas más oscuras y el verdadero horror del Holodomor, una de las grandes hambrunas de la historia de Europa.

Title: The Faery Rehistory Trilogy: Books 1–3 Series: Part of The Faery Rehistory Series Author: Sharon Lynn Fisher Narrator: Alison Mckenna, Alan Smyth Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 35 hours 3 minutes Release date: August 29, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: The complete historical fantasy romance trilogy by Sharon Lynn Fisher The Absinthe Earl Miss Ada Quicksilver meets a handsome and intriguing Irishman who takes absinthe regularly to relieve a mysterious affliction. She soon discovers that “Mr. Donoghue” is, in fact, a lord in two worlds and can no longer suppress his shadow self. Little does either of them realize that their blossoming friendship—and slowly kindling passion—will lead to discoveries that wrench open a door sealed for centuries, throwing them into a war that will change Ireland forever. The Raven Lady In the aftermath of Ireland’s battle with her ancient enemies, Queen Isolde orders her cousin, Duncan O’Malley, to assume the throne of fairy as King Finvara. When Finvara refuses to marry the enemy, Elven princess Koli, affronted by the king’s rejection—along with his decision to bring her to court as little more than a captive—vows vengeance. But Koli soon discovers that Finvara’s not the haughty lord she believed him to be. The Warrior Poet Portland book artist Neve Kelly is having weird visions—vivid daydreams of lovers on a battlefield that yank her out of reality. When Will Yeats finds Neve being sucked through a ghastly hole in her ceiling, he saves her by carrying her back to 1888 Ireland, where he learns that not only is she from more than a century in the future, but from a parallel world where fairies and Tuatha De Danaan heroes are no more than myth. Their dreams have brought them together … but why?

Four women spark a revolution on a Caribbean island – the electrifying new novel from the Costa-winning author of The Mermaid of Black Conch. Early one morning, at the close of St Colibri’s carnival, a young female steel-pan player is found dead beneath a cannonball tree. It is a discovery that will transform the lives of everyone on this small island. As the days pass, this shocking event draws together four women. There’s Sharleen, a journalist with an eye for the real story. Her childhood friend Tara, a pink-haired, straight-talking local activist. Gigi, the ‘notorious’ founder of the Port Isabella Sex Workers Collective. And Daisy, first lady of St Colibri, who is haunted by a disappearance in her own family decades ago. In a community in which women’s voices are often silenced and violence against them is overlooked time after time, the group soon find themselves compelled to speak out – and to act. But even they could never have foreseen the consequences of their courage… ‘Vital, enraging and brilliant.

Title: Passiontide Author: Monique Roffey Narrator: Burt Caesar, Ami Okumura Jones, Martina Laird Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 43 minutes Release date: June 27, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Four women spark a revolution on a Caribbean island – the electrifying new novel from the Costa-winning author of The Mermaid of Black Conch. Early one morning, at the close of St Colibri’s carnival, a young female steel-pan player is found dead beneath a cannonball tree. It is a discovery that will transform the lives of everyone on this small island. As the days pass, this shocking event draws together four women. There’s Sharleen, a journalist with an eye for the real story. Her childhood friend Tara, a pink-haired, straight-talking local activist. Gigi, the ‘notorious’ founder of the Port Isabella Sex Workers Collective. And Daisy, first lady of St Colibri, who is haunted by a disappearance in her own family decades ago. In a community in which women’s voices are often silenced and violence against them is overlooked time after time, the group soon find themselves compelled to speak out – and to act. But even they could never have foreseen the consequences of their courage… ‘Vital, enraging and brilliant.

Title: The History of a Difficult Child Author: Mihret Sibhat Narrator: Waceke Wambaa Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 40 minutes Release date: February 1, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Selam is the youngest child in her large, turbulent family. Even before she is born, her electrifying omniscience animates life in her Small Town in 1980s southwestern Ethiopia. She arrives like a flash flood; unexpected, strong-willed, roaring. Selam and her father listen to the radio in secret as the socialist military junta seizes properties and wages civil war in the North. Meanwhile her mother, the powerful and relentlessly dignified Degitu, embraces a persecuted, Pentecostal God as she gets sicker. Once an enterprising, landowning family, now they are ostracised under the new regime, and Selam grows up seeking revenge on despotic comrades, neighbourhood bullies and a ruthless God. Wise beyond her years yet thoroughly naive, she contends with an inner fury, a profound sadness, and a throbbing, unstoppable pursuit of education, freedom, and love. 'A major new writing talent... A remarkably original voice, fresh and irreverent' Chris Abani 'Extraordinary... the story of a sharp-witted young girl trying to hold herself together during political upheaval, and an achingly tender tale of community, family, grief and forgiveness' Maaza Mengiste ©2024 Mihret Sibhat (P)2024 Penguin Audio Mihret Sibhat Thu, 01 Feb 2024 08:27:46 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/694997 thebookvoice.com 13:40:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/694997]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [German] - Der Herzog von Aquitanien (ungekürzt) Author: Mac P. Lorne Narrator: Detlef Bierstedt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 19 hours 7 minutes Release date: August 22, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Die Geschichte des Mannes, der dem Heer des Kalifen Einhalt gebot - ein actionreicher historischer Roman über den kaum bekannten 'Eudo von Aquitanien': Als Eudo im Jahr 700 zum Herzog von Aquitanien ernannt wird, träumt er davon, dort als unabhängiger König zu herrschen. Dazu muss er sich sowohl gegen seinen Lehnsherren, den König der Franken, behaupten, als auch seine südlichen Grenzen gegen die Mauren schützen. Zu diesem Zweck geht Eudo ein gewagtes Bündnis ein: Er verheiratet seine Tochter mit dem Berberfürsten Munuza. Bei Toulouse gelingt Eudo bald darauf ein überraschender Sieg über die Mauren, als seine schwere Reiterei deren leichte Kavallerie einfach überrennt. Doch dann bringt der Herzog den neuen König der Franken gegen sich auf, und während dieser mit seinem Heer in Aquitanien einfällt, ziehen die Mauren gegen Munuza. Eudo kann dem Verbündeten nicht zu Hilfe kommen, Munuza unterliegt, und Eudos Tochter wird als Geisel genommen und in den Harem des Kalifen nach Damaskus verschleppt ... Mit Eudo von Aquitanien hat Mac P. Lorne erneut einen Mann zur Hauptfigur eines historischen Romans gemacht, der entscheidenden Einfluss auf die Geschichte Europas genommen hat.

Title: [Spanish] - La Española. Una isla en el Caribe fue el origen de todo un imperio. Author: Antonio Pérez Henares Narrator: Juan Magraner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 50 minutes Release date: June 15, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Antonio Pérez Henares consigue, con una prosa evocadora y una profunda comprensión de la época y la tierra, de sus olores, colores y sabores, un excelente retablo de aquellos agitados años a caballo entre los siglos XV y XVI en los que, en una isla del mar Caribe, comenzó a gestarse un imperio. Cuando el almirante Colón regresó a la isla de La Española en 1493, al frente de diecisiete naos, se encontró el Fuerte Navidad, que apenas unos meses antes había dejado bien guarnecido, quemado, rodeado de cadáveres flotando y ningún superviviente. En el paraíso se había abierto una puerta al infierno. Tras este terrible arranque, comienza la historia de quienes hoy son historia del mundo: los Colón, el piloto Juan de la Cosa y su gran amigo el bravo capitán Ojeda, los Niños y los Pinzones, Ponce de León, Bartolomé de las Casas, Ovando, Núñez de Balboa y Vespucio, y también de los caciques Guacanagarí y Caonabo y de la bella y trágica Anacaona. De Cortés, de Pizarro y Alvarado, todavía esperando para partir y emprender las más grandes conquistas, y también de los grumetes Trifoncillo y Alonso, del locuaz tabernero Escabeche y de su mujer la india Triana, y hasta de los perros Becerrillo y Leoncico. Todos ellos en un mismo instante y lugar. Todos ellos en el mismo desembarco, espada en mano en la batalla o bebiendo vino de la misma jarra. La Española fue el principio de todo en América. El primer puerto de arribada y partida hacia la gloria y el oro; la primera ciudad, la primera calle empedrada por la que pasearon las damas y la virreina, y la primera catedral; la primera batalla, los primeros caballos y los primeros perros soldados; los primeros héroes, los primeros rebeldes y los primeros enfrentamientos fratricidas, tan españoles; los primeros criminales y los primeros defensores de los indios, y los primeros mestizos que marcarían el futuro y la seña de identidad de la América hispana.

Title: [Spanish] - El secreto de la boticaria Author: Sarah Penner Narrator: Alba Ruipérez, Paula Yuste, Paloma Insa Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 47 minutes Release date: June 15, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Finalista del prestigioso Book of the Year 2021 Award, premio concedido por el más importante club de lectura de EE. UU. Escondida en las entrañas del Londres del siglo xviii, una botica secreta sirve a una clientela muy inusual. Entre las mujeres londinenses se rumorea sobre una misteriosa mujer llamada Nella que vende venenos camuflados de medicina a toda aquella que necesite usarlos contra hombres que las maltraten. Pero el destino de esta boticaria queda comprometido cuando su nueva protegida, una precoz niña de doce años, comete un error fatal que tendrá unas consecuencias cuyo eco se mantendrá durante siglos. En la actualidad, una aspirante a historiadora llamada Caroline Parcewell pasa su décimo aniversario de bodas sola, enfrentada a sus propios demonios. Entonces dará con una pista para resolver los misteriosos asesinatos que hicieron temblar al Londres de hace más de doscientos años. Su vida se mezclará con la de aquella boticaria en un sorprendente giro del destino. El secreto de la boticaria es un debut adictivo lleno de suspense, con personajes inolvidables y una gran profundidad. Un sinfín de secretos, venganzas y curiosas maneras en las que dos mujeres pueden salvarse la una a la otra pese a la barrera del tiempo. «Una novela sorprendentemente original, elaborada con mucha elegancia y muy entretenida; desde la portada a la contracubierta, El secreto de la boticaria de Sarah Penner juega con un convincente suspense, nos presenta a personajes realmente memorables y con una serie de giros de la trama que se convierten en perfectos cliffhangers». Midwest Book Review «Hechizante… como una poción bien elaborada, se le ha dado a cada uno de los ingredientes la cantidad exacta de tiempo y cuidado y el resultado es una novela que sencillamente abruma con su delicada magia». Bookpage «Cautivadora… prosa musical… Una historia absolutamente absorbente sobre el poder de los secretos y el de encontrar tu propio camino». Historical Novels Review, mejor libro del mes «Con El secreto de la boticaria, Sarah Penner teje de forma convincente las vidas de tres heroínas con dos líneas temporales diferentes para crear una fábula de venenos, venganza y sororidad silenciosa en un mundo contra ellas… Inteligente, atrevida… un debut absolutamente logrado».

Title: [Catalan] - La trena Author: Laetitia Colombani Narrator: Clara Segura Crespo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 47 minutes Release date: June 22, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: TRES DONES UNIDES PER UN PODERÓS ANHEL DE LLIBERTAT. Un fulgurant èxit editorial que ha estat durant mesos al capdamunt de les llistes de vendes i ha conquistat la crítica i el públic. Amb gairebé mig milió d'exemplars venuts i quasi trenta traduccions en curs, La trena va ser un dels fenòmens editorials de l'any 2017. En aquesta narració vibrant i commovedora, Laetitia Colombani -guionista, directora i actriu de reconegut prestigi- aborda les històries de tres dones que, nascudes en continents diferents, comparteixen unes idees i uns sentiments que les uneixen en un poderós anhel de llibertat. ÍNDIA. A Badlapur, la intocable Smita sobreviu recollint els excrements d'una casta superior. Resignada a la seva condició, està decidida en canvi a lluitar perquè la seva filla no segueixi els seus passos: la petita anirà a l'escola i la seva vida serà digna i profitosa, encara que per aconseguir-ho la Smita hagi de desafiar les normes establertes. ITÀLIA. A la Giulia li encanta treballar al taller familiar, l'últim de Palerm que confecciona perruques amb cabells autèntics. Hauria pogut anar a la universitat, però als setze anys va deixar l'institut per aprendre els secrets d'aquest ofici. Quan el seu pare pateix un accident i la Giulia descobreix que el negoci està a punt de fer fallida, afronta l'adversitat amb valentia i determinació. CANADÀ. La Sarah és una advocada d'èxit a Montreal que ho ha sacrificat tot per la seva carrera: dos matrimonis fallits i tres fills a qui no ha vist créixer. Un dia, en el curs d'un judici, es desmaia, i aleshores la Sarah comprèn que la seva vida ha canviat radicalment i que haurà de triar què és el més important per a ella. La Smita, la Giulia i la Sarah no es coneixen, però tenen en comú l'empenta i la tenacitat de les dones que rebutgen allò que el destí ha reservat per elles i es rebel·len contra les circumstàncies que les oprimeixen. Com fils invisibles, els seus camins s'entrellacen i van formant una trena que sim- bolitza la ferma voluntat de viure amb esperança i il·lusió. La crítica ha dit... «El fenomen del moment.» Le Parisien «Un homenatge a la força de totes les dones.» Biba «L'autora traça amb una habilitat sorprenent el retrat de tres dones que es rebel·len contra el seu destí, tres històries que deixen entreveure una humanitat fràgil però vibrant.» Le Figaro «Les protagonistes de La trena tenen en comú una força i una determinació que les porten a decidir cada instant de la seva vida en comptes de patir-lo. Són un model per a totes nosaltres.» Le Soir Laetitia Colombani Thu, 22 Jun 2023 08:27:46 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/694453 thebookvoice.com 4:47:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/694453]]> to listen full audiobooks.

ITÀLIA. A la Giulia li encanta treballar al taller familiar, l'últim de Palerm que confecciona perruques amb cabells autèntics. Hauria pogut anar a la universitat, però als setze anys va deixar l'institut per aprendre els secrets d'aquest ofici. Quan el seu pare pateix un accident i la Giulia descobreix que el negoci està a punt de fer fallida, afronta l'adversitat amb valentia i determinació. CANADÀ. La Sarah és una advocada d'èxit a Montreal que ho ha sacrificat tot per la seva carrera: dos matrimonis fallits i tres fills a qui no ha vist créixer. Un dia, en el curs d'un judici, es desmaia, i aleshores la Sarah comprèn que la seva vida ha canviat radicalment i que haurà de triar què és el més important per a ella. La Smita, la Giulia i la Sarah no es coneixen, però tenen en comú l'empenta i la tenacitat de les dones que rebutgen allò que el destí ha reservat per elles i es rebel·len contra les circumstàncies que les oprimeixen. Com fils invisibles, els seus camins s'entrellacen i van formant una trena que sim- bolitza la ferma voluntat de viure amb esperança i il·lusió. La crítica ha dit... «El fenomen del moment.» Le Parisien «Un homenatge a la força de totes les dones.» Biba «L'autora traça amb una habilitat sorprenent el retrat de tres dones que es rebel·len contra el seu destí, tres històries que deixen entreveure una humanitat fràgil però vibrant.» Le Figaro «Les protagonistes de La trena tenen en comú una força i una determinació que les porten a decidir cada instant de la seva vida en comptes de patir-lo. Són un model per a totes nosaltres.» Le Soir https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/694413 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/694413]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Peking: An Epic Novel of Twentieth-Century China Author: Anthony Grey Narrator: Cindy Kay Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 28 hours 37 minutes Release date: December 26, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: This epic novel of a wide-eyed missionary and a rebellious woman thrust into China's Communist revolution is 'an excellent read, panoramic in scope' (Financial Times). In 1931, young English-born missionary Jakob Kellner brings all the crusading passion of his untried Christian faith to a China racked by famine and bloody civil war. He burns to save the world's largest nation from Communism. But when he is swept along on the cold, unforgiving Long March, Jakob becomes entangled with Mei-ling, a beautiful and fervent revolutionary. Soon, powerful new emotions challenge and reshape his faith—and entrap him forever in the vast country's tortured destiny. Once held hostage by Red Guards in Peking for more than two years, author Anthony Grey traces the path of China's Communist party from its covert inception through purge and revolution. He crafts a portrait of China as a land of great beauty and harshness—of triumph and tragedy—in a sweeping narrative, rich in historical and cultural revelations.

Title: The Overmountain Men Series: #1 of Tennessee Frontier Trilogy Author: Cameron Judd Narrator: Joshua Saxon Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 5 minutes Release date: August 29, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: The first in a trilogy set in the untamed colonial American wilderness, from 'a keen observer of the human heart as well as a fine action writer' (Publishers Weekly). Joshua Colter was born of the wild frontier. As a young boy living with his family on the edges of civilization during the French and Indian War, he witnessed firsthand the bloodshed and brutality men were capable of—from the deception and depredations of whites like his own vile father to the merciless vengeance of the native tribes. Forced by cruel fate to set out on his own, he was adopted by an honorable hunter who taught him to fight and survive while remaining true to his own heart. But as much as the solitary Joshua loves living rough and free in the forests and mountains, the troubles of the civilized world are encroaching, as the once-pristine wilderness is being carved up between the all-powerful British crown, settlers searching for a land to call their own, and the native Indians who desperately defy them both to protect their ancestral home. Now, in a burgeoning land of hope and hardship, Joshua will have to decide what he is willing to fight and die for as the birth of a new nation breaks on the horizon.

Title: The Border Men Series: #2 of Tennessee Frontier Trilogy Author: Cameron Judd Narrator: Joshua Saxon Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 52 minutes Release date: September 19, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: The author of The Overmountain Men and The Canebrake Men continues his Tennessee Frontier Trilogy as the American Revolution rages in the wilderness. Two years after the colonies declare their independence, the American and British armies fight a seemingly endless series of bloody battles in the east. But on the Tennessee frontier, the war is fought by far fewer rules of engagement. In the wilderness, those who strike silent and swift win the day, every tree or rocky hill might hide an enemy waiting with bullet and blade, and a painless death is a rare gift. It is in this chaotic land that frontiersman Joshua Colter leads the newly formed Patriot Rangers militia against both the hated British and their Cherokee and Chickamauga allies. The war has already cost all sides a great deal in blood and betrayal. But for Joshua, the war is about to bring the pain of his own past into the conflict as old enemies return to exact their revenge . . .

But for now the eldest daughter of a Welsh patriot and an English nobleman revels in her temporary freedom. In the village, she spies a bearded, dark-haired stranger and feels an unexpected surge of desire. But the man who seduces her in the dead of night is no wandering minstrel. He is her family's most treacherous foe. Banished from his homeland and forced to learn the hated English ways, Rhys ap Owain has waited twenty years to set foot on Welsh soil again. Taking the innocence of his enemy's daughter will strike a mortal blow to the traitorous FitzHughs and be the first step toward avenging his murdered father. Isolde will be the instrument of his retribution, his hostage in the kingdom that was stolen from his people—but he never dreams that she will awaken within him a love more powerful than hate.

Title: The Keepers of the House Author: Shirley Ann Grau Narrator: Allyson Johnson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 23 minutes Release date: September 19, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: A 'beautifully written' Pulitzer Prize–winning novel about prejudice and a distinguished family's secrets in the American South (The Atlantic Monthly). Seven generations of the Howland family have lived in the Alabama plantation home built by an ancestor who fought for Andrew Jackson in the War of 1812. Over the course of a century, the Howlands accumulated a fortune, fought for secession, and helped rebuild the South, establishing themselves as one of the most respected families in the state. But that history means little to Abigail Howland. The inheritor of the Howland manse, Abigail hides the long-buried secret of her grandfather's thirty-year relationship with his African American mistress. Her fortunes reverse when her family's mixed-race heritage comes to light and her community—locked in the prejudices of the 1960s—turns its back on her. Faced with such deep-seated racism, Abigail is pushed to defend her family at all costs. A 'novel of real magnitude,' The Keepers of the House is an unforgettable story of family, tradition, and racial injustice set against the richly drawn backdrop of the American South (Kirkus Reviews).

Title: Follow the Angels, Follow the Doves: The Bass Reeves Trilogy, Book One Series: #1 of Bass Reeves Trilogy Author: Sidney Thompson Narrator: Midnite Michael Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 34 minutes Release date: September 26, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Follow the Angels, Follow the Doves is an origin story in the true American tradition. Before Bass Reeves could stake his claim as the most successful nineteenth-century American lawman, arresting more outlaws than any other deputy during his thirty-two-year career as a deputy US marshal in some of the most dangerous regions of the Wild West, he was a slave. After a childhood picking cotton, Reeves became an expert marksman under his master's tutelage, winning shooting contests throughout the region. His skill had serious implications, however, as the Civil War broke out. Reeves was given to his master's mercurial, sadistic, Moby-Dick-quoting son in the hopes that Reeves would keep him safe in battle. The ensuing humiliation, love, heroics, war, mind games, and fear solidified Reeves's determination to gain his freedom and drew him one step further on his fated path to an illustrious career. Follow the Angels, Follow the Doves is an important historical work that places Reeves in the pantheon of American heroes and a thrilling historical novel that narrates a great man's exploits amid the near-mythic world of the nineteenth-century frontier.

Title: The Order of the Furies: 1795: A Novel Series: #3 of The Wolf and the Watchman Author: Niklas Natt Och Dag Narrator: Matt Addis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 35 minutes Release date: April 30, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Two unlikely allies work to end the reign of a powerful cabal of depraved hedonists in 18th-century Stockholm in this spellbinding finale to the #1 internationally bestselling historical trilogy that is filled with “plenty of twists to satisfy thrill-starved readers” (The Washington Post). For more than a year, Emil Winge has dedicated himself to capturing the diabolical Tycho Ceton, with the invaluable assistance of one-armed army veteran and watchman Jean Michael Cardell. Their mission is made more difficult by the ever-increasing paranoia gripping Sweden’s royal family, who fear that a bloody revolution is brewing. A letter with the names of the revolutionary conspirators is said to be in the possession of Anna Stina Knapp, a good friend to Cardell. Now, Anna is missing and Cardell is determined to find her before the secret police take her into custody. While Winge and Cardell fight for justice, they find themselves caught between powerful enemies—those who will do anything to maintain the status quo, and those who will only be satisfied with its total destruction. Writing with “thrilling, unnerving, clever, and beautiful” (Fredrik Backman) vigor and style, Niklas Natt och Dag brilliantly concludes his immersion into the dark and turbulent waters of 18th-century Stockholm.

Title: The Painter's Daughters: A Novel Author: Emily Howes Narrator: Gemma Lawrence, Louise Brealey Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 56 minutes Release date: February 27, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: A “beautifully written” (Hilary Mantel), “fascinating” (The Washington Post) story of love, madness, sisterly devotion, and control, about the two beloved daughters of renowned 1700s English painter Thomas Gainsborough, who struggle to live up to the perfect image the world so admired in their portraits. Peggy and Molly Gainsborough—the daughters of one of England’s most famous portrait artists of the 1700s and the frequent subject of his work—are best friends. They spy on their father as he paints, rankle their mother as she manages the household, and run barefoot through the muddy fields that surround their home. But there is another reason they are inseparable: from a young age, Molly periodically experiences bouts of mental confusion, even forgetting who she is, and Peggy instinctively knows she must help cover up her sister’s condition. When the family moves to Bath, it’s not so easy to hide Molly’s slip-ups. There, the sisters are thrown into the whirlwind of polite society, where the codes of behavior are crystal clear. Molly dreams of a normal life but slides deeper and more publicly into her delusions. Peggy knows the shadow of an asylum looms for women like Molly, and she goes to greater lengths to protect her sister’s secret. But when Peggy unexpectedly falls in love with her father’s friend, the charming composer Johann Fischer, the sisters’ precarious situation is thrown catastrophically off course. Her burgeoning love for Johann sparks the bitterest of betrayals, forcing Peggy to question all she has done for Molly, and whether any one person can truly change the fate of another. A tense and tender examination of the blurred lines between protection and control, The Painter’s Daughter is an “engaging, transporting” (The Guardian) look at the real girls behind the canvas. Emily Howes’s debut is a stunning exploration of devotion, control, and individuality; it is a love song to sisterhood, to the many hues of life, and to being looked at but never really seen.

Title: The Curse of Pietro Houdini: A Novel Author: Derek B.

August, 1943. Fourteen-year-old Massimo is all alone. Newly orphaned and fleeing from Rome after surviving a bombing raid that killed his parents, Massimo is attacked by thugs and finds himself bloodied at the base of the Montecassino. It is there in the Benedictine abbey’s shadow that a charismatic and cryptic man calling himself Pietro Houdini, the self-proclaimed “Master Artist and confidante of the Vatican,” rescues Massimo and makes him an assistant in preserving the treasures that lay within the monastery walls. But can Massimo believe what Pietro is saying, particularly when Massimo has secrets too? Who is this extraordinary man? When it becomes evident that Montecassino will soon become the front line in the war, Pietro Houdini and Massimo plan to smuggle three priceless Titian paintings to safety down the mountain. They are joined by a vivid cast of characters and together they will lie, cheat, steal, fight, kill, and sin their way through battlefields to survive, all while smuggling the Renaissance masterpieces and the bag full of ancient Greek gold they have rescued from the “safe keeping” of the Germans. Heartfelt, powerfully engaging, and in the tradition of Anthony Doerr’s All the Light We Cannot See, this is a work of storytelling bravado: a thrilling action-packed art heist, an imaginative chronicle of forgotten history, and a poignant coming-of-age epic where a child navigates one of the most morally complex fronts of World War II and lives to tell the tale.

John, an impoverished Scottish minister, has accepted a job evicting the lone remaining occupant of an island north of Scotland—Ivar, who has been living alone for decades, with only the animals and the sea for company. Though his wife, Mary, has serious misgivings about the errand, he decides to go anyway, setting in motion a chain of events that neither he nor Mary could have predicted. Shortly after John reaches the island, he falls down a cliff and is found, unconscious and badly injured, by Ivar who takes him home and tends to his wounds. “Clear chronicles the surprising bond that develops between these two men…pack[ing] a great deal of power into a compact tale” (The Wall Street Journal) about connection, home, and hope—in which John begins to learn Ivar’s language, and Ivar sees himself reflected through the eyes of another person for the first time in decades. Unfolding during the final stages of the infamous Scottish Clearances—a period of the 19th century which saw whole communities of the rural poor driven off the land in a relentless program of forced evictions—this singular novel explores what binds us together in the face of insurmountable difference, the way history shapes our deepest convictions, and how the human spirit can endure despite all odds. Moving and unpredictable, “a love letter to the scorching power of language” (The Guardian), Clear is “a jewel of a novel” (The Washington Post)—a profound and unforgettable read.

Title: [Spanish] - What Happened to Ruthy Ramirez Que le pasó a Ruthy Ramírez (SP ed) Author: Claire Jimenez Narrator: Jenyvette Vega Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 35 minutes Release date: March 12, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Las Ramírez de Stanten Islan orbitan alrededor de la ausencia. Cuando Ruthy, a los trece años, desapareció sin dejar rastro después de un entrenamiento de atletismo, su familia quedó marcada y deshecha. Una noche, doce años después, Jessica, la hermana mayor, ve en la pantalla de su televisión a una mujer que aparece en Catfight, un reality show subido de tono. Se apresura a decírselo a Nina, su hermana menor. El pelo de esta mujer está teñido de rojo y se hace llamar Ruby, pero el lunar bajo su ojo izquierdo es reconocible al instante. ¿Podría ser Ruthy, después de todo este tiempo? Los años desde la desaparición de Ruthy no han sido fáciles para la familia Ramírez. Es el año 2008 y su madre, Dolores, todavía padece la pérdida; Jessica se las arregla entre su bebé recién nacido y su trabajo en el hospital; y Nina, después de cuatro exitosos años en la universidad y de no haber sido aceptada en la escuela de medicina, regresa a casa y se ve obligada a trabajar en el centro comercial doblando diminutas tangas en una tienda de lencería. Después de ver a la posible Ruthy en la pantalla, Jessica y Nina planean manejar hasta el lugar donde se filma el programa para buscar a su hermana perdida. Cuando Dolores descubre su plan, insisten en ir con ellas, junto con Irene, su mejor amiga. Lo que sigue es un viaje de familia y un reencuentro que forzará a las Ramírez a, por fin, enfrentar el pasado y mirar hacia el futuro, con o sin Ruthy en sus vidas. ¿Qué le pasó a Ruthy Ramírez? es un retrato de familia vívido, en toda su destrozada realidad, que explora los lazos de familia entre mujeres y los ciclos de generaciones de violencia, colonialismo, raza y silencio, llenos de sarcasmo, resentimiento, ternura y, por supuesto, amor.  The Ramirez women of Staten Island orbit around absence. When thirteen-year-old middle child Ruthy disappeared after track practice without a trace, it left the family scarred and scrambling. One night, twelve years later, oldest sister Jessica spots a woman on her TV screen in Catfight, a raunchy reality show. She rushes to tell her younger sister, Nina: This woman's hair is dyed red, and she calls herself Ruby, but the beauty mark under her left eye is instantly recognizable. Could it be Ruthy, after all this time? The years since Ruthy's disappearance haven't been easy on the Ramirez family. It’s 2008, and their mother, Dolores, still struggles with the loss, Jessica juggles a newborn baby with her hospital job, and Nina, after four successful years at college, has returned home to medical school rejections and is forced to work in the mall folding tiny bedazzled thongs at the lingerie store. After seeing maybe-Ruthy on their screen, Jessica and Nina hatch a plan to drive to where the show is filmed in search of their long-lost sister. When Dolores catches wind of their scheme, she insists on joining, along with her pot-stirring holy roller best friend, Irene. What follows is a family road trip and reckoning that will force the Ramirez women to finally face the past and look toward a future—with or without Ruthy in it. What Happened to Ruthy Ramirez is a vivid family portrait, in all its shattered reality, exploring the familial bonds between women and cycles of generational violence, colonialism, race, and silence, replete with snark, resentment, tenderness, and, of course, love.

But when British soldiers attack and loot Mysore, Abbas's world is turned upside down and his prized tiger is shipped off to a country estate in England. In order to carve out his place in the world, he must follow. A hero's quest, a love story, an exuberant heist novel that traces the bloody legacy of colonialism across the world, Loot is a dazzling, wildly inventive and irresistible feat of storytelling from a writer at the height of her powers.

Ramón intenta alistarse en las milicias republicanas, pero es corto de vista y no le permiten combatir. A cambio va destinado al puesto de mando en el Ministerio de la Guerra para realizar labores administrativas. Eso le va a permitir estar presente en la toma de decisiones que ahí se formalicen en los días previos y será encargado de llevar las órdenes de combate al frente de batalla en mano para que no sean interceptadas por el enemigo. El día siete de noviembre de 1936 se inician las hostilidades, lo que para él es servir a sus ideales, puesto que la república es la forma de estado que defiende.

Title: The Medici: Bankers, Gangsters, Popes: A BBC Radio 4 full-cast drama Author: Mike Walker Narrator: Catrin Aaron, Saran Morgan, Tom Cullen, Sirine Saba, Patrick Baladi, Full Cast Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 40 minutes Release date: March 7, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Mike Walker’s gripping BBC Radio drama about money, art, religion, politics and power Florence, 1415. Banker Cosimo Medici is looked down upon as a jumped up money-changer. Then he marries the noble Contessina de Bardi and becomes the richest man in Europe. But his wealth and power threaten the Florentine elite, who are determined to bring him down... However, the House of Medici cannot be crushed that easily. Sixty years and many violent deaths later, the family are the unquestioned, ruthless rulers of Florence. They control the government, have transformed the city through their patronage of the arts, and one of them has even been crowned Pope. But trouble is coming in the form of the fanatical poet monk Savonarola, and the bank is in decline. Can Lorenzo the Magnificent save anything for his dim-witted successors – and will they even care? With a cast of extraordinary characters including Piero the Gouty, master negotiator Lucrezia Tornabuoni and Pope Leo X, as well as Michelangelo, Da Vinci and Artemisia Gentileschi, this fast-paced ‘Renaissance Sopranos’ tells the thrilling story of one of the most infamous dynasties of all time. Among the cast are Patrick Baladi, Sirine Saba, Tom Cullen, Saran Morgan and Catrin Aaron.

Title: The Warm Hands of Ghosts Author: Katherine Arden Narrator: Michael Crouch, January LaVoy Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 38 minutes Release date: March 7, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. The sweeping new novel from New York Times bestselling author Katherine Arden. World War One, and as shells fall in Flanders, a Canadian nurse searches for her brother believed dead in the trenches despite eerie signs that suggest otherwise in this gripping and powerful historical novel from the bestselling author of The Bear and the Nightingale. January 1918. Laura Iven has been discharged from her duties as a nurse and sent back to Halifax, Canada, leaving behind a brother still fighting in the trenches of the First World War. Now home, she receives word of Freddie's death in action along with his uniform -but something doesn't quite make sense. Determined to find out more, Laura returns to Belgium as a volunteer at a private hospital. Soon after arriving, she hears whispers about ghosts moving among those still living and a strange inn-keeper whose wine gives soldiers the gift of oblivion. Could this have happened to Freddie - but if so, where is he? November 1917. Freddie Iven awakens after an explosion to find himself trapped under an overturned pillbox with an enemy soldier, a German, each of them badly wounded. Against all odds, the two men form a bond and succeed in clawing their way out. But once in No Man's Land, where can either of them turn where they won't be shot as enemy soldiers or deserters? As the killing continues, they meet a man - a fiddler - who seems to have the power to make the hellscape that surrounds them disappear. But at what price? A novel of breath-taking scope and drama, of compulsive readability, of stunning historical research lightly worn, and of brilliantly drawn characters who will make you laugh and break your heart in a single line, The Warm Hands of Ghosts is a book that will speak to readers directly about the trauma of war and the power of those involved to love, endure and transcend it. Praise for The Bear and the Nightingale ... 'A beautiful deep-winter story, full of magic and monsters and the sharp edges of growing up.' Naomi Novik 'A wonderfully layered novel of family roles and the harsh wonders of deep winter magic.'

Title: In the Days of Drake Author: J. S. Fletcher Narrator: John Rayburn Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 13 minutes Release date: June 27, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: In the beginning of this story, the author told of what had inspired him. He wrote: “In the whole history of the English people there is no period so absolutely heroic, so full of enthralling interest, as that in which the might of England made itself apparent by land and sea—the period which saw good Queen Bess mistress of English hearts and Englishmen and sovereign of the great beginnings which came to such a magnificent fruition under Victoria. That was indeed a golden time—an age of great venture and enterprise—a period wherein men’s hearts were set on personal valor and bravery—the day of great deeds and of courage most marvelous. To write down a catalogue of all the names that then were glorious, to make a list of all the daring deeds that were then done—this was an impossible task for the most painstaking of statisticians, the most conscientious of historians and chroniclers. Whether they stand high on the scroll of fame or lie forgotten in some quiet graveyard or in the vast oceans which they crossed, it was they, and they only, who laid the great foundations of the England and the United States of to-day.” Here is a chance to hear more about those sensational by-gone days.

Title: Pelican Girls: A Novel Author: Julia Malye Narrator: Polly Edsell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 56 minutes Release date: March 5, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: A sweeping epic in the vein of Philipp Meyer’s The Son and Min Jin Lee’s Pachinko and inspired by a true story, this stunning US literary debut captures the never-before-told journey of the Baleine Brides: a ship full of young women plucked from a Paris asylum and sent to marry settlers in North America's rough Louisiana Territory. Paris, 1720. La Salpêtrière hospital is in crisis: too many occupants, not enough beds. Halfway across the world, France's colony in the wilds of North America has space to spare and needs families to fill it. So the director of the hospital rounds up nearly a hundred female “volunteers” of childbearing age—orphans, prisoners, and mental patients—to be shipped to New Orleans. Among this group are three unlikely friends: a sharp-tongued twelve-year old orphan, a mute ‘madwoman,’ and an accused abortionist. Charlotte, Pétronille, and Geneviève, along with the dozens of other women aboard La Baleine, have no knowledge of what lies ahead and no control over their futures. Strangers brought together by fate, these brave and fierce young women will face extraordinary adversity—pirates, slavedrivers, sickness, war—but also the private trauma of heartbreak and unrequited love, children born and lost, cruelty and unexpected pleasure, and a friendship forged in fire that will sustain through the years. At once a gorgeously written work of startling depth and emotion and a gripping drama marrying high-seas adventure with pioneer grit, Pelican Girls is a powerful, thought-provoking novel about female friendship and desire and the daunting compromises women are forced to make to survive.

At once a gorgeously written work of startling depth and emotion and a gripping drama marrying high-seas adventure with pioneer grit, Pelican Girls is a powerful, thought-provoking novel about female friendship and desire and the daunting compromises women are forced to make to survive. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/692710 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/692710]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: Can't We Be Friends: A Novel of Ella Fitzgerald and Marilyn Monroe Author: Denny S. Bryce, Eliza Knight Narrator: Caroline Hewitt, Karen Chilton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 15 minutes Release date: March 5, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 3 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Award-winning author Denny S. Bryce and USA Today bestselling author Eliza Knight collaborate on a brilliant novel that uncovers the boundary-breaking, genuine friendship between Ella Fitzgerald, the Queen of Jazz, and iconic movie star Marilyn Monroe.  One woman was recognized as the premiere singer of her era with perfect pitch and tireless ambition. One woman was the most glamorous star in Hollywood, a sex symbol who took the world by storm. And their friendship was fast and firm… 1952: Ella Fitzgerald is a renowned jazz singer whose only roadblock to longevity is society’s attitude toward women and race. Marilyn Monroe’s star is rising despite ongoing battles with movie studio bigwigs and boyfriends. When she needs help with her singing, she wants only the best—and the best is the brilliant Ella Fitzgerald. But Ella isn’t a singing teacher and declines—then the two women meet, and to everyone’s surprise but their own, they become fast friends. On the surface, what could they have in common? Yet each was underestimated by the men in their lives—husbands, managers, hangers-on. And both were determined to gain. Each fought for professional independence and personal agency in a time when women were expected to surrender control to those same men. This novel reveals and celebrates their surprising bond over a decade and serves as a poignant reminder of how true friendship can cross differences to bolster and sustain us through haunting heartbreak and wild success.

Trier, 1920: Als die Fabrikantentochter Johanna Fuchs einen Bauernhof erbt, fällt sie aus allen Wolken. Warum hat ihr niemand aus der Familie von ihrer Tante Lisbeth erzählt, die offenbar bis zu ihrem Tod zurückgezogen im Eifeldorf Altenburg lebte? Und wieso hat sie ausgerechnet Johanna zu ihrer Alleinerbin gemacht? Als die junge Frau den Hof in Augenschein nimmt, ist sie überwältigt von dem idyllischen Fleckchen Land und beschließt gegen den Willen ihrer Eltern, dort zu bleiben.

Title: Goethe: A BBC Radio Drama Collection: Six Full-Cast Dramatisations including Faust, The Sorrows of Young Werther and more Author: Johann Wolfgang Von Goethes Narrator: Eileen Aitkin, Gabriel Woolf, Jack Farthing, Daisy Edgar-Jones, Joel Maccormack, Ronald Pickup, Full Cast, David Suchet, Melvyn Bragg, Frances Jeater, Simon Callow, Anton Lesser Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 17 hours 5 minutes Release date: October 5, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: A collection of seminal dramatised pieces by the great German polymath Johann Wolfgang Goethe was a colossus of German literature and a true Renaissance man. A novelist, dramatist, poet, humanist, scientist and philosopher, he wrote the first international bestseller, The Sorrows of Young Werther, and his epic masterpiece Faust is one of the most famous and celebrated dramas of all time. We open this anthology with a dramatisation of Faust, which tells of a magus with an insatiable thirst for knowledge who makes a pact with the Devil. Featuring atmospheric music performed by the King's College Choir and the BBC Singers, it stars Simon Callow as Faust, with Ronald Pickup as Mephistopheles. It is followed by The Sorrows of Young Werther, Goethe's tale of a passionate young artist at odds with society, who falls hopelessly in love with his friend's fiancée. Dramatised by award-winning playwright Hattie Naylor and introduced by Cambridge University lecturer Dr Charlotte Lee, it stars Joel MacCormack, Daisy Edgar-Jones and Jack Farthing. Originally published in 1795 under the title 'The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily', A Fairy Tale is a magical, mysterious and strikingly modern story whose images foreshadow the poetry of surrealism. David Davis is the Teller of the Tale, with Rosalind Shanks as The Beautiful Lily and Mary Morris as The Serpent. Next up are a trio of historical tragedies: Egmont, set in 16th century Brussels and with a score specially composed by Ludwig van Beethoven; Iphigenia in Tauris, a reworking of the ancient Greek play by Euripides; and Torquato Tasso, a verse drama about the eponymous 16th century Italian poet and courtier and his descent into madness. All three feature superb ensemble casts including Paul Daneman, John Rye, Maureen O'Brien, Anton Lesser, Michael Pennington and David Suchet. To conclude, four bonus documentaries examine Goethe's life, work and influence. In Search of Faust sees poet and singer Twm Morys exploring why artists have been fascinated by this unlikely hero for the last 500 years; while Spotlight: The Sorrows of Young Werther looks at the tragic protagonist of Goethe's 1774 epistolary novel. In Our Time: Goethe and the Science of Enlightenment finds Melvyn Bragg and guests assessing Goethe's scientific legacy, and in The Forum - Goethe: The story of colour, Bridget Kendal discusses his monumental book The Theory of Colours with art historian Alexandra Loske, writer Victoria Finlay and designer Odette Steele.

Title: [Spanish] - Historia del cerco de Lisboa Author: José Saramago Narrator: Víctor Velasco Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 57 minutes Release date: June 15, 2023 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: 2022: AÑO SARAMAGO Una novela deslumbrante sobre el poder de la rebeldía para cambiar la historia «Mientras no alcances la verdad, no podrás corregirla. Pero si no la corriges, no la alcanzarás. Mientras tanto, no te resignes». Libro de los Consejos Raimundo Silva, corrector de pruebas de una editorial, es un personaje anodino que tiene como misión en la vida conservar la integridad de los textos que llegan a sus manos. Un día, revisando un ensayo sobre el cerco de la ciudad de Lisboa, siente el impulso irreprimible de introducir un «No» donde debiera aparecer un «Sí». Esta decisión aparentemente inocua altera, sin duda alguna, la historia escrita, pero también va a ser fundamental en su vida personal. A partir de ese momento, el conservador Raimundo Silva no volverá a ser sujeto paciente de la historia, tanto de la universal como de la personal, porque su acto de rebeldía le hace asumir el protagonismo que, como hombre, y por tanto como ser hegemónico, le corresponde en la vida. Historia del cerco de Lisboa es una novela contemporánea en la que caen varios cercos: el histórico de la ciudad de Lisboa y el que impide al hombre comunicarse con sus semejantes, pero también el de la soledad, definitivamente abatido en el amor realizado. La crítica ha dicho: «Una novela deslumbrante». Publishers Weekly «Saramago vuelve comprensible una realidad huidiza, con parábolas sostenidas por la imaginación, la compasión y la ironía». Comité Nobel «Un hombre con una sensibilidad y una capacidad de ver y de entender que están muy por encima de lo que en general vemos y entendemos los comunes mortales». Héctor Abad Faciolince «Saramago es un ejemplo, un estilo dignísimo de vida y literatura, que demuestra la posibilidad de navegar a contracorriente [...]. Su palabra tiene el valor de un anticongelante, de un remedio personal contra los vendavales de cinismo que nos envuelven». Luis García Montero «Yo no sé, ni quiero saberlo, de dónde ha sacado Saramago ese diabólico tono narrativo, duro y piadoso a un tiempo, [...] que le permite contar tan cerca del corazón y a la vez tan cerca de la historia». Luis Landero «Saramago escribe novelas sobre los mitos para desmitificarlos, [...] siempre para abordar la realidad que le rodea, para tratar de los problemas actuales que son de todos, y para que todo quede claro desde el principio». Rafael Conte, Babelia «Como Günter Grass o Cees Nooteboom, Saramago aspira a enlazar con un público que desborde límites nacionales».

Title: No Better Time: A Novel of the Spirited Women of the Six Triple Eight Central Postal Directory Battalion Author: Sheila Williams Narrator: Janina Edwards Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 57 minutes Release date: February 27, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: “Just the novel to elevate these unforgettable voices.”—Shelf Awareness The acclaimed author of The Secret Women and Things Past Telling returns with an engrossing historical novel about a little known aspect of World War II—the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, the only Black WACs to serve overseas during the conflict.  In the wake of the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, Dorothy Thom, Spelman graduate, librarian and Francophile, joins the Women’s Army Corps wanting to do her part for the war effort. Longing for adventure, she has one question for the recruiter: “Do you think I’ll get to go abroad?” As Dorothy and her sister WACs discover, life in the Army is an adventure filled with unexpected deprivations and culture shock. Women from all levels of society, secretaries, teachers, and sharecroppers, work together to navigate a military segregated by race and gender. At boot camp, the “colored girls” are separated for processing. At Ft. Riley, the women’s barracks are rustic and heated by coal-burning pot-bellied stoves while German POWs spend their incarceration in buildings with central heat and hot water. In early 1945, Dorothy and eight hundred African American WACs cross the turbulent North Atlantic to their post in England. Their orders are to process the mail sent to GIs from their loved ones back home, an estimated 17 million pieces. The women arrive to find mail stockpiled for over two years in warehouses and airplane hangars, many pieces in poor condition, the names illegible.  In England and France, the WACs traverse a landscape of unimagined possibilities. With their outlooks changed forever, they return to the United States as the catalysts for change in America and build lives that transcend anything their ancestors ever dreamed of.  No Better Time illuminates a love of country and duty that has been overlooked until now.

Laura Iven was a revered field nurse until she was wounded and discharged from the medical corps, leaving behind a brother still fighting in Flanders. Now home in Halifax, Canada, Laura receives word of Freddie’s death in combat, along with his personal effects—but something doesn’t make sense. Determined to uncover the truth, Laura returns to Belgium as a volunteer at a private hospital, where she soon hears whispers about haunted trenches and a strange hotelier whose wine gives soldiers the gift of oblivion. Could Freddie have escaped the battlefield, only to fall prey to something—or someone—else? November 1917. Freddie Iven awakens after an explosion to find himself trapped in an overturned pillbox with a wounded enemy soldier, a German by the name of Hans Winter. Against all odds, the two form an alliance and succeed in clawing their way out. Unable to bear the thought of returning to the killing fields, especially on opposite sides, they take refuge with a mysterious man who seems to have the power to make the hellscape of the trenches disappear. As shells rain down on Flanders and ghosts move among those yet living, Laura’s and Freddie’s deepest traumas are reawakened. Now they must decide whether their world is worth salvaging—or better left behind entirely. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/692301 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/692301]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Road from Belhaven: A novel Author: Margot Livesey Narrator: Ell Potter Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 14 minutes Release date: February 6, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: From the New York Times best-selling author of The Flight of Gemma Hardy, a novel about a young woman whose gift of second sight complicates her coming of age in late-nineteenth-century Scotland “Bewitching and seductive.” —Rebecca Makkai, author of I Have Some Questions for You • “A treasure: a writer who understands the magic and mysteries of the human soul.' —Chris Bohjalian, author of Hour of the Witch • “This book is a cold, clear, perfect lake.' —Lauren Groff, author of The Vaster Wilds Growing up in the care of her grandparents on Belhaven Farm, Lizzie Craig discovers as a small child that she can see into the future. But her gift is selective—she doesn’t, for instance, see that she has an older sister who will come to join the family. As her “pictures” foretell various incidents and accidents, she begins to realize a painful truth: she may glimpse the future, but she can seldom change it. Nor can Lizzie change the feelings that come when a young man named Louis, visiting Belhaven for the harvest, begins to court her. Why have the adults around her not revealed that the touch of a hand can change everything? After following Louis to Glasgow, though, she learns the limits of his devotion. Faced with a seemingly impossible choice, she makes a terrible mistake. But her second sight may allow her a second chance. Luminous and transporting, The Road from Belhaven once again displays “the marvelous control of a writer who conjures equally well the tangible, sensory world . . . and the mysteries, stranger and wilder, that flicker at the border of that world.” —The Boston Globe Margot Livesey Tue, 06 Feb 2024 08:27:46 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/692301 thebookvoice.com 8:14:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/692301]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: A Wild and Heavenly Place Author: Robin Oliveira Narrator: Angus King, Katy Townsend, Tavia Gilbert Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 47 minutes Release date: February 13, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: How far would you go? How much would you risk? Hailey MacIntyre seems conjured from the depths of Samuel Fiddes’s loneliness. Caring for his young sister in the tenements of Glasgow, Scotland, Samuel has known only hunger, while Hailey has never known want. Yet, when Samuel saves Hailey’s brother from a runaway carriage, their connection is undeniable. Through secret meetings and stolen moments, their improbable love grows. But then the City of Glasgow Bank fails, and Hailey’s bankrupt father impulsively moves their family across the globe to Seattle, a city rumored to have coal in its hills and easy money for anyone willing to work for it. Samuel is haunted by Hailey’s parting words: Remember, Washington Territory. Armed only with his wits, he determines to follow her, leaving behind everything he has ever known in search of Hailey and the chance of a better life for his sister. But the fledgling town barely cut out of the wilderness holds its own secrets and will test them all in ways unimaginable. Poignant and lyrical, A Wild and Heavenly Place is an ode to the Pacific Northwest, to those courageous enough to chase the American Dream, and to a love so powerful it endures beyond distance, beyond hope.

Two decades later, all three men are struggling to make peace with the past, haunted by the places and people they left behind. When Irakli decides to return to Georgia, pulled back by memories of a lost wife and a decaying but still beautiful homeland, Saba and Sandro wait eagerly for news. But within weeks of his arrival, Irakli disappears, and the final message they receive from him causes a mystery to unfold before them: “I left a trail I can’t erase. Do not follow it.” In a journey that will lead him to the very heart of a conflict that has marred generations and fractured his own family, Saba must retrace his father’s footsteps to discover what remains of their homeland and its people. By turns savage and tender, compassionate and harrowing, Hard by a Great Forest is a powerful and ultimately hopeful novel about the individual and collective trauma of war, and the indomitable spirit of a people determined not only to survive, but to remember those who did not.

Title: Last Summer Boys: A Novel Author: Bill Rivers Narrator: Michael Crouch Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 17 minutes Release date: June 1, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: In this rapturous coming-of-age debut, a naive-yet-determined Appalachian boy will go to any length to save his family over the course of one life-changing summer. “If you’re famous, you don’t have to go to war.” Summer 1968. When thirteen-year-old Jack Elliot overhears the barbershop men grousing, he devises a secret plan to keep his oldest brother, Pete, from the draft. If famous boys don’t go to war, he’ll make his brother their small town’s biggest celebrity. Jack gets unexpected help when his book-smart cousin Frankie arrives in their rural Pennsylvania town for the summer. Together, they convince Jack’s brothers to lead an expedition to find a fighter jet that crashed many winters ago—the perfect adventure to make Pete a hero. But with a greedy developer determined to flood their valley, a beautiful girl occupying his middle brother’s attentions, a wild motorcycle gang causing trouble in town, and a disturbed neighbor setting fires, Jack realizes it isn’t just Pete who needs saving. Set during a single, tumultuous summer, this beautifully told tale is a heartwarming tribute to innocence, first love, and the unbreakable bond of brotherhood.

Title: Matilda's Secret Series: #2 of The Inheritance Author: Corina Bomann Narrator: Nina Yndis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 17 hours 35 minutes Release date: June 14, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: In pre-WWII Sweden, fate and secrets change an impetuous young woman’s life in a novel of deception, true love, and reinvention by the bestselling author of The Inheritance of Lion Hall. Sweden, 1931. Matilda Wallin has a future in Stockholm: business college, then establishing a company with the young man she plans to marry. It’s all upended by her mother’s death—and a stranger who has been appointed her guardian. Matilda has no idea who Countess Agneta Lejongård is or why this aristocrat has taken an interest in her. Agneta summons Matilda to live with her and her family on their magnificent country estate but remains mysterious about her connection to Matilda. Torn from her previous life and its promises, Matilda has no choice but to follow Agneta to venerated Lion Hall. At first resistant to rural aristocratic life, Matilda tries to adjust. In Agneta’s son Ingmar, Matilda finds a new friend. In Ingmar’s twin brother, Magnus, she finds a churl who dismisses her as an interloper beneath his family’s stature. But just as the estate and Agneta’s benevolence win Matilda’s heart, she discovers the secret that ties her to the Lejongårds in ways she never imagined, which could change her life once again. Now, Matilda must make a decision: return to Stockholm and the commitments of her heart or take a risk on the unknown at Lion Hall.
