Title: Hill of Beans: A Novel of War and Celluloid Author: Leslie Epstein Narrator: Charles Constant Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 10 minutes Release date: September 14, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: The film Casablanca opens with the words, 'With the coming of the Second World War, many eyes in imprisoned Europe turned hopefully, or desperately, toward the freedom of the Americas.' Leslie Epstein's Hill of Beans is the story of how one nation, one industry, and in particular one man responded to that desperate hope. That man is Jack Warner. His impossible goal is to make world events—most importantly, the invasion of North Africa by British and American forces in 1942—coincide with the release of his new film about a group of refugees marooned in Morocco. Arrayed against him are Stalin and Hitler, as well as Josef Goebbels, Franklin Roosevelt, a powerful gossip columnist, and above all a beautiful young woman with a terrible secret. His only weapons are his hutzpah and his heroism as he struggles to bring cinema and city, conflict and conference together in an epic command performance. Hill of Beans is the novel that Leslie Epstein—the son and nephew of Philip and Julius Epstein, the screenwriters of Casablanca—was born to write.

Title: Strangers I Know: A Novel Author: Claudia Durastanti Narrator: Lisa Flanagan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 50 minutes Release date: January 25, 2022 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: 'Durastanti casts the universal drama of the family as the sieve through which the self—woman, artist, daughter—is filtered and known.' —Ocean Vuong   A work of fiction about being a stranger in your own family and life. Every family has its own mythology, but in this family none of the myths match up. Claudia’s mother says she met her husband when she stopped him from jumping off a bridge. Her father says it happened when he saved her from an attempted robbery. Both parents are deaf but couldn’t be more different; they can’t even agree on how they met, much less who needed saving.   Into this unlikely yet somehow inevitable union, our narrator is born. She comes of age with her brother in this strange, and increasingly estranged, household split between a small village in southern Italy and New York City. Without even sign language in common – their parents have not bothered to teach them – family communications are chaotic and rife with misinterpretations, by turns hilarious and devastating. An outsider in every way, she longs for a freedom she’s not even sure exists. Only books and punk rock—and a tumultuous relationship—begin to show her the way to create her own mythology, to construct her own version of the story of her life.   Kinetic, formally dazzling, and spectacularly original, this book is a funny and profound portrait of an unconventional family that makes us look anew at how language shapes our understanding of ourselves.

Title: Arab Boy Delivered: A Novel Author: Paul Aziz Zarou Narrator: Peter Ganim Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 4 minutes Release date: March 15, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: As Michael maneuvers through his working-class neighborhood delivering groceries, he enters the homes and lives of his customers. He’s confronted by the school yard and street corner violence of local thugs. With the 1967 Arab-Israeli War fresh in public memory, he passes for Greek or Italian and never summons the courage to explain, exactly, who he is or where his parents came from. Michael weighs his obligations to his tight knit family and sees before him a life of constricted ambitions. Then he falls for a radical college coed, returned to the neighborhood after two years of college. She teaches Michael about sex, love, the obligation to protest injustice. His life is buffeted by the killing of Martin Luther King, Jr and the death, two months later, of Bobby Kennedy. His girlfriend opens his eyes to the ongoing national struggle to test national ideals against the growing diversity of America. Michael grieves with a mother whose only son died in the Vietnam War and is embraced by the first black couple who move into the neighborhood. The people he meets shape him. His mind is a potpourri of his experiences: hatred, kindness, his own sexual awakening. Michael struggles to figure out who this dutiful son of an immigrant family is becoming in a rapidly emerging modern world, epitomized by the big, brash, obnoxious city on the other side of the East River.

Anna was just an infant when her family fled but yearns to find her roots. When Anna is contacted by a stranger from their homeland and then disappears, Masha is called home to Milwaukee to find her. In 2008, college student Anna feels stuck in Milwaukee, with no real connections and parents who stifle her artistic talents. She is eager to have a life beyond the heartland. When she’s contacted online by a stranger from their homeland—a girl claiming to be her long-lost sister—Anna suspects a ruse or an attempt at extortion. But her desperate need to connect with her homeland convinces her to pursue the connection. At the same time, a handsome grifter comes into her life, luring her with the prospect of a nomadic lifestyle. Masha lives in Israel, where she went on Birthright and unexpectedly found home. When Anna disappears without a trace, Masha’s father calls her back to Milwaukee to help find Anna. In her former home, Masha immerses herself in her sister’s life—which forces her to recall the life she, too, left behind and to confront her own demons. What she finds in her search for Anna will change her life, and her family, forever.

Title: A Bright Young Thing Author: Brianne Moore Narrator: Shiromi Arserio Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 39 minutes Release date: September 7, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: In 1931 England, Astra Davies defies all the conventions. Clever, witty, and determined, she smokes, drinks, plays a mean piano, and gallivants around London with her beloved Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. But she finds herself in a tight spot when her parents die suddenly, leaving her with a raft of debts. With few marketable skills and a closet full of family secrets, she has two choices: find a rich husband or make her own way. A fiercely driven woman like Astra is not about to cast her lot in with a man, especially out of desperation. And since the only man she fancies—Jeremy Harris, the Earl of Dunreaven—is as hard up as she is, her way forward is clear. But the path to independence is a bumpy one fraught with hazards and heartbreaking choices: a blackmailing socialite threatens to derail Astra's reputation, a brainless business partner just might drive her even further into debt, and a series of bruising scandals dogs her every step of the way. From the bustle of London to the country estates of the aristocracy, Astra embarks on a journey that tests her brains, wit, and mettle as never before. But one way or another, Astra Davies is dead set on proving she's no ordinary Bright Young Thing.

Title: Glory: A Novel Author: Noviolet Bulawayo Narrator: Chipo Chung Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 10 minutes Release date: March 8, 2022 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: 2022 BOOKER PRIZE FINALIST “Manifoldly clever…brilliant… ‘Glory’ is its own vivid world, drawn from its own folklore. This is a satire with sharper teeth, angrier, and also very, very funny.” —Violet Kupersmith, The New York Times Book Review 'Genius.'—#1 New York Times bestselling author Jason Reynolds From the award-winning author of the Booker-prize finalist We Need New Names, an exhilarating novel about the fall of an oppressive regime, and the chaos and opportunity that rise in its wake. NoViolet Bulawayo’s bold new novel follows the fall of the Old Horse, the long-serving leader of a fictional country, and the drama that follows for a rumbustious nation of animals on the path to true liberation. Inspired by the unexpected fall by coup in November 2017 of Robert G. Mugabe, Zimbabwe’s president of nearly four decades, Glory shows a country's imploding, narrated by a chorus of animal voices that unveil the ruthlessness required to uphold the illusion of absolute power and the imagination and bulletproof optimism to overthrow it completely. By immersing readers in the daily lives of a population in upheaval, Bulawayo reveals the dazzling life force and irresistible wit that lie barely concealed beneath the surface of seemingly bleak circumstances. And at the center of this tumult is Destiny, a young goat who returns to Jidada to bear witness to revolution—and to recount the unofficial history and the potential legacy of the females who have quietly pulled the strings here. The animal kingdom—its connection to our primal responses and its resonance in the mythology, folktales, and fairy tales that define cultures the world over—unmasks the surreality of contemporary global politics to help us understand our world more clearly, even as Bulawayo plucks us right out of it. Although Zimbabwe is the immediate inspiration for this thrilling story, Glory was written in a time of global clamor, with resistance movements across the world challenging different forms of oppression. Thus it often feels like Bulawayo captures several places in one blockbuster allegory, crystallizing a turning point in history with the texture and nuance that only the greatest fiction can.

Title: A Valiant Deceit: Olive Bright, Book 2 Series: #2 of Olive Bright Author: Stephanie Graves Narrator: Harrie Dobby Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 39 minutes Release date: January 25, 2022 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Young pigeoneer Olive Bright has been conscripted, with her racing birds, to aid the fight against the Nazis. It's not the daring role she'd envisioned for herself, but her quiet little English village is not nearly as sheltered as she imagined . . . Returning to Pipley following her FANY (First Aid Nursing Yeomanry) training, Olive is eager to step up her involvement in the war effort. Her pigeons are being conscripted to aid the Belgian resistance, and it's up to Olive to choose the best birds for the mission. To protect the secrecy of their work, she must also continue the ruse of being romantically involved with her superior, Captain Jameson Aldridge, a task made more challenging by the fact that she really does have feelings for the gruff Irish intelligence officer. But perhaps the greatest challenge of all comes when an instructor at Station XVII, the top-secret training school housed at Brickendonbury Manor, is found dead in Balls Wood by a troop of Girl Guides. The police quickly rule Lieutenant Jeremy Beckett's death an accident, but based on clues she finds at the scene, Olive begins to suspect he might have been a spy. Involving the reluctant Jamie, she is determined to solve the murder and possibly stop a threat to their intelligence efforts which could put the Belgians—not to mention her pigeons—in grave danger.

In September of 1940, during the Blitz in London, Audrey Stocking is blending in with other civilians who are trying to survive the nightly bombings, but she has a secret. She’s not British; she’s German. Her fake passport and nearly perfect English allow her to blend in as she works hard to help evacuate British children into the countryside. Audrey longs to reunite with her family in Hamburg, but her double life, the bombings, and the watchful British Military Intelligence have forced her to stay put. And then there are the paralyzing nightmares … Lieutenant Wesley Bowers, an American soldier training with London’s Bomb Disposal Company 5, meets Audrey when an air raid leaves an unexploded bomb on the floor of her flat. She is attractive, intelligent, and compassionate, and there’s an immediate connection between them. As they get to know each other, Wesley realizes Audrey is the one bright spot amid the war’s unending bleakness and constant threat of death. But will he still feel the same if he discovers the secrets she is hiding? Secrets even Audrey is unaware of? In Times of Rain and War is a gripping and heartbreakingly beautiful story about the strength and resilience of the human heart and spirit, reminding us there is always hope in hard times. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/531524 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/531524]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: [Spanish] - Shantaram [unabridged audiobook] Author: Gregory David Roberts Narrator: Sergio Bustos De La Tijera Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 53 hours 45 minutes Release date: July 13, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.5 of Total 12 Ratings of Narrator: 2.5 of Total 2 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: 'Me tomó mucho tiempo y a la mayor parte del mundo aprender lo que sé sobre el amor y el destino y las decisiones que tomamos, pero el corazón de esto me llegó en un instante, mientras estaba encadenado a una pared y siendo torturado'. Así comienza esta épica e hipnotizante primera novela de Gregory David Roberts, ambientada en el inframundo de la bombay contemporánea. Shantaram es narrado por Lin, un convicto fugado con un pasaporte falso que huye de la prisión de máxima seguridad en Australia por las calles llenas de una ciudad donde puede desaparecer. Acompañados por su guía y fiel amigo, Prabaker,los dos entran en la sociedad oculta de mendigas y gángsters de Bombay, prostitutas y hombres santos, soldados y actores, e indios y exiliados de otros países, que buscan en este lugar notable lo que no pueden encontrar en otros lugares. Como un hombre cazado sin hogar, familia o identidad, Lin busca amor y significado mientras dirige una clínica en uno de los barrios pobres de la ciudad, y sirve a su aprendizaje en las artes oscuras de la mafia de Bombay. La búsqueda lo lleva a la guerra, la tortura en prisión, el asesinato y una serie de traiciones enigmáticas y sangrientas. Las claves para desentrañar los misterios e intrigas que unen a Lin están en manos de dos personas. El primero es Khader Khan: padrino de la mafia, criminal-filósofo-santo, y mentor de Lin en el inframundo de la Ciudad Dorada. La segunda es Karla: escurridiza, peligrosa y hermosa, cuyas pasiones son impulsadas por secretos que la atormentan y sin embargo le dan un poder terrible. Barrios marginales ardientes y hoteles de cinco estrellas, amor romántico y agonías carceleras, guerras criminales y películas de Bollywood, gurús espirituales y guerrilleros muyahidines esta gran novela tiene el mundo de la experiencia humana a su alcance, y un amor apasionado por la India en el corazón. Basado en la vida del autor, es en cualquier medida el debut de una voz extraordinaria en la literatura.

Title: [Spanish] - Del color de la leche Author: Nell Leyshon Narrator: Gredivel Vasquez Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 54 minutes Release date: July 13, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Elias Canetti escribió que en las escasas ocasiones en que las personas logran liberarse de las cadenas que las atan suelen, inmediatamente después, quedar sujetas a otras nuevas. Mary, una niña de quince años que vive con su familia en una granja de la Inglaterra rural de 1830, tiene el pelo del color de la leche y nació con un defecto físico en una pierna, pero logra escapar momentáneamente de su condena familiar cuando es enviada a trabajar como criada para cuidar a la mujer del vicario, que está enferma. Entonces, tiene la oportunidad de aprender a leer y escribir, de dejar de ver «sólo un montón de rayas negras» en los libros. Sin embargo, conforme deja el mundo de las sombras, descubre que las luces pueden resultar incluso más cegadoras, por eso, a Mary sólo le queda el poder de contar su historia para tratar de encontrar sosiego en la palabra escrita. En Del color de la leche, Nell Leyshon ha recreado con una belleza trágica un microcosmos apabullante, poblado de personajes como el padre de Mary, que maldice a la vida por no darle hijos varones; el abuelo, que se finge enfermo para ver a su querida Mary una vez más; Edna, la criada del vicario que guarda tres sudarios bajo la cama, uno para ella, y los otros para un marido y un hijo que no tiene; todo ello, enmarcado por un entorno bucólico que fluye al compás de las estaciones y las labores de la granja, que cobra vida con una inocencia desgarradora gracias al empeño de Mary de dejar un testimonio escrito del destino adquirido, al cual ya no tiene la posibilidad de renunciar.

Title: [Spanish] - El tiempo que nos une Author: Alejandro Palomas Narrator: Sonia Couoh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 17 hours 5 minutes Release date: July 13, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Clementina es la mujer que, siendo lo que es, quiere ser un poco más, volviéndose un poco menos. Es una mujer que había vivido una vida sencilla, y siendo arrastrada por la vida cotidiana es absorbida por el mundo de la prostitución. A pesar de ser capaz de dejar todo eso atrás, decide entregarse por completo, dándose una oportunidad o dándosela a todos los demás. Las desgracias entran en su vida, y él cree que puede evitarlas moviéndose entre dos mundos que validan igualmente su existencia y sus pensamientos. Perdida en silencio, descubre que su camino es a través de la soledad. Eso no le impide tomar la compañía de otros, donde está, donde también se pierde a sí mismo. La crítica a sí misma busca los pensamientos de los demás, para hacerlos suyos. Exaltada en esas ideas, no tiene miedo de destruir todo lo que es, sólo de tener la oportunidad de construirse una vez más. El tiempo que nos falta: Clementine. ¿Y si ese sentimiento de inferioridad y anhelo es amor? Ese fuego que nos marca, ese gusano cerebral que no nos deja pensar en otra cosa. Obsesión, deseo, desesperación, frustración, no son las palabras con las que queremos describir estar enamorados, pero son las primeras en aparecer cuando tratamos de hacerlo.

Un ballenero británico ha sido capturado por un ambicioso jefe en las islas de sándwiches en la instigación francesa, y el capitán Aubrey, R. N., es enviado con la sorpresa para restaurar el orden. Pero guardada en el nivel de cable es una convicta fugada. Para los oficiales, Clarissa Harvill es objeto de torpes cortesías y celos peligrosos. Aubrey mismo está conquistado y de hecho fuertemente atraído por esta mujer que no hablará de su pasado. Pero sólo el amigo de Aubrey, el Dr. Stephen Maturin, puede comprender los secretos de Clarissa: su crimen, su personalidad y una pista que identifica a un espía inglés altamente colocado en el pago del servicio de inteligencia de Napoleón. En un emocionante final, Patrick O'Brian ofrece toda la emoción que sus muchos lectores esperan: Aubrey y la tripulación de la Surprise imponen una brutal pax Britannica a los isleños en una batalla campal contra una banda de caníbales que cazan cabezas. -Clarissa Oakes El capitán Jack Aubrey navega lejos de las odiadas colonias carceladas australianas en su barco favorito the Surprise, reflexionando sobre la mediana edad y la frustración sexual.

Title: The God of that Summer Author: Ralf Rothmann Narrator: Stephanie Racine Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 24 minutes Release date: January 20, 2022 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: ‘This book's power lies in its depiction of civilians trying to lead ordinary lives during the horror of war . . . It is shattering stuff, but Rothmann is tender towards his characters and this book is as memorable as his last.’ The Times, ‘Historical Fiction Book of the Month’ As the Second World War enters its final stages, millions in Germany are forced from their homes by bombing, compelled to seek shelter in the countryside where there are barely the resources to feed them. Twelve-year-old Luisa, her mother, and her older sister Billie have escaped the devastation of the city for the relative safety of a dairy farm. But even here the power struggles of the war play out: the family depend on the goodwill of Luisa’s brother-in-law, an SS officer, who in expectation of payment turns his attention away from his wife and towards Billie. Luisa immerses herself in books, but even she notices the Allied bombers flying east above them, the gauntness of the prisoners at the camp nearby, the disappearance of fresh-faced boys from the milk shed – hastily shipped off to a war that’s already lost. Living on the farm teaches Luisa about life and death, but it’s man’s capacity for violence that provides the ultimate lesson, that robs her of her innocent ignorance. When, at a birthday celebration, her worst fears are realized, Luisa collapses under the weight of the inexplicable. Ralf Rothmann’s previous novel, To Die in Spring, described the horror of war and the damage done on the battlefield. The God of that Summer tells the devastating story of civilians caught up in the chaos of defeat, of events that might lead a twelve-year-old child to justifiably say: ‘I have experienced everything.’ Ralf Rothmann Thu, 20 Jan 2022 02:50:19 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/531162 thebookvoice.com 7:24:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/531162]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Jones Award for Best Fiction A Long Petal of the Sea meets Cold Mountain in this “epic and exquisitely wrought” (Patricia Engel, New York Times bestselling author) saga following a Mexican army nurse and an Irish soldier who must fight, at first for their survival and then for their love, amidst the atrocity of the Mexican-American War—from the author of The Distance Between Us. A forgotten war. An unforgettable romance. The year is 1846. After the controversial annexation of Texas, the US Army marches south to provoke war with México over the disputed Río Grande boundary. Ximena Salomé is a gifted Mexican healer who dreams of building a family with the man she loves on the coveted land she calls home. But when Texas Rangers storm her ranch and shoot her husband dead, her dreams are burned to ashes. Vowing to honor her husband’s memory and defend her country, Ximena uses her healing skills as a nurse on the frontlines of the ravaging war. Meanwhile, John Riley, an Irish immigrant in the Yankee army desperate to help his family escape the famine devastating his homeland, is sickened by the unjust war and the unspeakable atrocities against his countrymen by nativist officers. In a bold act of defiance, he swims across the Río Grande and joins the Mexican Army—a desertion punishable by execution. He forms the St. Patrick’s Battalion, a band of Irish soldiers willing to fight to the death for México’s freedom. When Ximena and John meet, a dangerous attraction blooms between them. As the war intensifies, so does their passion. Swept up by forces with the power to change history, they fight not only for the fate of a nation but for their future together. “A grand and soulful novel by a storyteller who has hit her full stride” (Julia Alvarez, author of In the Time of the Butterflies), A Ballad of Love and Glory effortlessly illuminates a largely forgotten moment in history that impacts the US–México border to this day.

Dorothy Moy breaks her own heart for a living. As Washington’s former poet laureate, that’s how she describes channeling her dissociative episodes and mental health struggles into her art. But when her five-year-old daughter exhibits similar behavior and begins remembering things from the lives of their ancestors, Dorothy believes the past has come to haunt her. Fearing that her child is predestined to endure the same debilitating depression that has marked her own life, Dorothy seeks radical help. Through an experimental treatment designed to mitigate inherited trauma, Dorothy intimately connects with past generations of women in her family: Faye Moy, a nurse in China serving with the Flying Tigers; Zoe Moy, a student in England at a famous school with no rules; Lai King Moy, a girl quarantined in San Francisco during a plague epidemic; Greta Moy, a tech executive with a unique dating app; and Afong Moy, the first Chinese woman to set foot in America. As the painful recollections affect her present life, Dorothy discovers that trauma isn’t the only thing she’s inherited.

Title: Circus of Wonders: A Novel Author: Elizabeth Macneal Narrator: Tuppence Middleton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 40 minutes Release date: February 1, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 2.5 of Total 2 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: From the #1 internationally bestselling author of the “lush, evocative Gothic” (The New York Times Book Review) The Doll Factory comes an atmospheric and spectacular novel about a woman transformed by the arrival of a Victorian circus of wonders—“as moving as it is deeply entertaining” (Daniel Mason, New York Times bestselling author). Step up, step up! In 1860s England, circus mania is sweeping the nation. Crowds jostle for a glimpse of the lion-tamers, the dazzling trapeze artists and, most thrilling of all, the so-called “human wonders.” When Jasper Jupiter’s Circus of Wonders pitches its tent in a poor coastal town, the life of one young girl changes forever. Sold to the ringmaster as a “leopard girl” because of the birthmarks that cover her body, Nell is utterly devastated. But as she grows close to the other performers, she finds herself enchanted by the glittering freedom of the circus, and by her own role as the Queen of the Moon and Stars. Before long, Nell’s fame spreads across the world—and with it, a chance for Jasper Jupiter to grow his own name and fortune. But what happens when her fame begins to eclipse his own, when even Jasper’s loyal brother Toby becomes captivated by Nell? No longer the quiet flower-picker, Nell knows her own place in the world, and she will fight for it. Circus of Wonders is a beautiful story about the “complex dance between exploitation and empowerment, and the question of what it really means to have control over your own life” (Naomi Ishiguro, author of Escape Routes).

Title: The Wedding Veil Author: Kristy Woodson Harvey Narrator: Shannon Mcmanus, Megan Tusing, Rebekkah Ross, Janet Metzger Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 31 minutes Release date: March 29, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.25 of Total 8 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 3 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: This “masterfully woven…literary home run” (New York Journal of Books) follows four women across generations, bound by a beautiful wedding veil and a connection to the famous Vanderbilt family from the New York Times bestselling author of the Peachtree Bluff series. Four women. One family heirloom. A secret connection that will change their lives—and history as they know it. Present Day: Julia Baxter’s wedding veil, bequeathed to her great-grandmother by a mysterious woman on a train in the 1930s, has passed through generations of her family as a symbol of a happy marriage. But on the morning of her wedding day, something tells her that even the veil’s good luck isn’t enough to make her marriage last forever. Overwhelmed, she escapes to the Virgin Islands to clear her head. Meanwhile, her grandmother, Babs, is also feeling shaken. Still grieving the death of her beloved husband, she decides to move into a retirement community. Though she hopes it’s a new beginning, she does not expect to run into an old flame, dredging up the same complicated emotions she felt a lifetime ago. 1914: Socialite Edith Vanderbilt is struggling to manage the luxurious Biltmore Estate after the death of her cherished husband. With 250 rooms to oversee and an entire village dependent on her family to stay afloat, Edith is determined to uphold the Vanderbilt legacy—and prepare her free-spirited daughter Cornelia to inherit it—despite her family’s deteriorating financial situation. But Cornelia has dreams of her own, and as she explores more of the rapidly changing world around her, she’s torn between upholding tradition and pursuing the exciting future that lies beyond Biltmore’s gilded gates. In the vein of Therese Anne Fowler’s A Well-Behaved Woman and Jennifer Robson’s The Gown, The Wedding Veil is “a sparkling, fast-paced joy of a book that celebrates love, family, and the right to shape one’s own destiny” (Kristin Harmel, New York Times bestselling author).

Title: Yonder: A Novel Author: Jabari Asim Narrator: Imani Jade Powers, Joniece Abbott-Pratt, Lamarr Gulley, JD Jackson, Janina Edwards, Adam Lazarre-White Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 16 minutes Release date: January 11, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: The Water Dancer meets The Prophets in this spare, gripping, and beautifully rendered novel exploring love and friendship among a group of enslaved Black strivers in the mid-19th century. They call themselves the Stolen. Their owners call them captives. They are taught their captors’ tongues and their beliefs but they have a language and rituals all their own. In a world that would be allegorical if it weren’t saturated in harsh truths, Cato and William meet at Placid Hall, a plantation in an unspecified part of the American South. Subject to the whims of their tyrannical and eccentric captor, Cannonball Greene, they never know what harm may befall them: inhumane physical toil in the plantation’s quarry by day, a beating by night, or the sale of a loved one at any moment. It’s that cruel practice—the wanton destruction of love, the belief that Black people aren’t even capable of loving—that hurts the most. It hurts the reserved and stubborn William, who finds himself falling for Margaret, a small but mighty woman with self-possession beyond her years. And it hurts Cato, whose first love, Iris, was sold off with no forewarning. He now finds solace in his hearty band of friends, including William, who is like a brother; Margaret; Little Zander; and Milton, a gifted artist. There is also Pandora, with thick braids and long limbs, whose beauty calls to him. Their relationships begin to fray when a visiting minister with a mysterious past starts to fill their heads with ideas about independence. He tells them that with freedom comes the right to choose the small things—when to dine, when to begin and end work—as well as the big things, such as whom and how to love. Do they follow the preacher and pursue the unknown? Confined in a landscape marked by deceit and uncertainty, who can they trust? In an elegant work of monumental imagination that will reorient how we think of the legacy of America’s shameful past, Jabari Asim presents a beautiful, powerful, and elegiac novel that examines intimacy and longing in the quarters while asking a vital question: What would happen if an enslaved person risked everything for love?

Title: Glory: LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2023 Author: Noviolet Bulawayo Narrator: Chipo Chung Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 10 minutes Release date: April 7, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.67 of Total 3 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 3 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. **Shortlisted for the Booker Prize 2022** Glory is an energy burst, an exhilarating ride. A bold, vivid chorus of animal voices calls out the dangerous absurdity of contemporary global politics, and helps us see our human world more clearly. A long time ago, in a bountiful land not so far away, the animal denizens lived quite happily. Then the colonisers arrived. After nearly a hundred years, a bloody War of Liberation brought new hope for the animals - along with a new leader. A charismatic horse who commanded the sun and ruled and ruled and kept on ruling. For forty years he ruled, with the help of his elite band of Chosen Ones, a scandalously violent pack of Defenders and, as he aged, his beloved and ambitious young donkey wife, Marvellous. But even the sticks and stones know there is no night ever so long it does not end with dawn. And so it did for the Old Horse, one day as he sat down to his Earl Grey tea and favourite radio programme. A new regime, a new leader. Or apparently so. And once again, the animals were full of hope . . . Glory tells the story of a country seemingly trapped in a cycle as old as time. And yet, as it unveils the myriad tricks required to uphold the illusion of absolute power, it reminds us that the glory of tyranny only lasts as long as its victims are willing to let it. History can be stopped in a moment. With the return of a long-lost daughter, a #freefairncredibleelection, a turning tide - even a single bullet. © NoViolet Bulawayo 2022 (P) Penguin Audio 2022 Noviolet Bulawayo Thu, 07 Apr 2022 02:50:19 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/530739 thebookvoice.com 16:10:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/530739]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Daughter of the Shipwreck Author: Lora Davies Narrator: Kathryn Drysdale Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 18 minutes Release date: March 17, 2022 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: He kicked and struggled as his sister was carried out through the shallow water to one of the boats. The distance between them seemed to stretch out and out. There was nothing he could do. He cried out to her, his voice hoarse with tears, ‘I will find you! I promise!' London, 1820: Nineteen-year-old Mercy, the orphaned daughter of an African prince, has come to live with the well-to-do Dr Stephens and his wife, Catherine, a passionate campaigner for the abolition of slavery. Mercy throws herself into Catherine's work, eager to help until – at an exhibition that has all of London talking – one particular painting makes a disturbing impression on her: conjuring vivid images of creaking wood and the screams of drowning people. Its effect on Dr Stephens is even stronger – a connection that seems almost personal. Meanwhile, Mat, a young black sailor, scours the city in search of the men who kidnapped his sister many years before. When his path crosses with Mercy's and he realises the girl he has been mourning is alive, it sets events in motion that will destroy everything Mercy thought was true about her old life – and her new one. But as the names on Mat's list are found dead, one after the other, the newly reunited siblings face a new danger. Someone is silencing all witnesses to the horrors of their past – and they could be next. But Mercy has had enough of secrets. She will have justice – no matter what the cost. An utterly gripping and powerful novel about family, secrets, identity, and risking everything to be true to yourself. If you liked The Foundling, The Miniaturist or Amy Snow, you will love Daughter of the Shipwreck.

Her family loses everything and is forced to retreat to a wild and beautiful but remote part of the country. There, she will come of age, and her first suitor will come calling. She tells her story in the form of a letter to someone she loves above all others, recounting times of devastating heartbreak and passionate affairs, poverty and wealth, terrible loss and immense joy. Her life is shaped by some of the most important events of history: the fight for women’s rights, the rise and fall of tyrants, and ultimately not one, but two pandemics. Through the eyes of a woman whose unforgettable passion, determination, and sense of humor carry her through a lifetime of upheaval, Isabel Allende once more brings us an epic that is both fiercely inspiring and deeply emotional.

Title: Boxcar Red Leader: A Novel of the Pacific Air War May 1942 Series: #3 of No Merciful War Author: Tom Burkhalter Narrator: Peter Berkrot Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 6 minutes Release date: December 14, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Jack and Charlie Davis, along with a new companion, Jimmy Ardana, are part of the Allied effort to stop the Japanese at Port Moresby in May 1942. But the Allies have received little in the way of reinforcements, and the only fighter available to face the Japanese Zero is the difficult to handle Bell P-39. Charlie flies dangerous reconnaissance missions to determine the location of the Japanese Navy. Jack, supposedly on his way home to the States, is diverted to be a flight commander in the 8th Fighter Group at Port Moresby. If the Japanese take Port Moresby they can cut off the convoy routes from America to Australia, leaving Australia isolated and vulnerable. The situation, in early May of 1942, is grim, but the question is the same one Jack and Charlie have faced since December 8, 1941: can we stop the Japanese with what we have?

By war’s end, both Jerry and Adele return home to Windsor, scarred by the horrors of what they endured overseas. When they cross paths one day, they have a chance to start over. But the city is in the grip of Prohibition, which brings exciting opportunities as well as new dangerous conflicts that threaten to destroy everything they have fought for. Pulled from the pages of history, Bluebird is a compelling, luminous novel about the strength of the human spirit and the power of love to call us home.

Title: Paradiso Series: #3 of Mistress of Auschwitz Author: Terrance D Williamson Narrator: Kirsten Potter Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 19 minutes Release date: October 5, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: In this final chapter to The Mistress of Auschwitz, Eleonore struggles with the consequences of her actions at Mrs. Meyers's manor. While in a foreign land, Eleonore begins to hope for what she thought had been lost forever. She begins to find healing through a wonderfully chaotic but passionate family, learning to use her gifts again, and an unsought romance with a man that she once despised. But all is not as it seems, as the fascist ideology which should've been long buried has resurrected itself in the hearts of lesser men. Eleonore must yet again contend with that evil. Still, she persists with the understanding that the darkness will always succumb to the light. Meanwhile, Captain Volker is devastated by what he perceives are a series of personal defeats. To atone for his supposed shortcomings, Hanns presses the search for Rudolph Hoess, the Commandant of Auschwitz, with unrelenting fervor in the hopes that he can finally bring this devil to justice. His ambition, however, leads him down paths where he will stop at nothing, no matter who gets in his way, in his attempt to capture the greatest mass murderer in the history of mankind. Still, his mind lingers on Eleonore and her well-being, as Hanns realizes her importance should Rudolph be brought to trial.

His task is to bring the ship swiftly into commission, weld his untried crew into an efficient fighting unit, and take his vessel to sea in order to protect the defenseless Allied merchant vessels which are being maliciously and increasingly sunk by German U-Boats, often within sight of the coast. Ash rises to the deadly challenge he faces, brings his crew of three officers and twenty-seven men to peak performance, and meets the threats he faces with understated courage and determination, rescuing stricken seamen, destroying Nazi mines, fighting U-Boats, and developing both the tactical sense and command authority that will be the foundation upon which America's citizen sailors eventually win the war.

Title: Righteous Fury Series: #2 of Mistress of Auschwitz Author: Terrance D Williamson Narrator: Kirsten Potter Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 51 minutes Release date: September 21, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: In this sequel to The Mistress of Auschwitz, the story continues with Eleonore as she struggles to cope with the impact of her harrowing detainment at the notorious concentration camp. Although she has been liberated by the Allies, she is not yet free from the horrors that she witnessed. Striving to heal from the trauma, Eleonore searches for meaning as she begins a new life. But Eleonore is not alone in her struggles to comprehend these atrocities as a British officer, Hanns Volker, secures employment for her. Hanns, who is based on the inspiring true story of a German Jew returning to the country of his birth, is horrified by the reality of what many of his people endured and what he narrowly escaped. The spark of justice is ignited in Hanns when he is assigned with the insurmountable task of interrogating the captured Nazis. While his eye lingers on hunting down those who have escaped, Hanns is enraptured with a righteous fury and must weigh the consequences of revenge against the balance of justice. Although their paths are separate, both Hanns and Eleonore are thrust into a Germany that is still under the shadow of indoctrination. Both come to understand that there are few that they can trust and, although defeated, the Nazi plague still holds sway over those who are lost to moral decay.

Title: Pereira Maintains: A Testimony Author: Antonio Tabucchi Narrator: Derek Jacobi Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 33 minutes Release date: July 1, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. In the sweltering summer of 1938, with Lisbon in the grip of Portugal's dictatorship of António Salazar, a journalist is coming to terms with the rise of fascism around him and its insidious impact on his work. Consumed by the passing of his wife and the child he never had, Pereira lives a quiet and lonely existence. One day, the young and charismatic Monteiro Rossi enters his life, changing everything. A man who once shied away from criticizing Portugal's authoritarian regime finds himself unable to stay quiet any longer, resulting in his political awakening and a devastating act of rebellion. Tabucchi's celebrated masterpiece is an ode to courage and solidarity in the face of political oppression. 'Subtle, skillful, and clear. It's so clear, in fact, that you can see a very long way down, into the heart of a flawed but valiant human being, into the sickness of a nation, into the depths of political evil. It's the most impressive novel I've read for years, and one of the very few that feels truly necessary' - Philip Pullman 'A stunningly good novel, and it goes on getting better in one's head after one has stopped reading it - it works as an experience - something that has happened to one, which is of course the proof of great writing' Diana Athill © Antonio Tabucchi 2021 (P) Penguin Audio 2021 Antonio Tabucchi Thu, 01 Jul 2021 02:50:19 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/528566 thebookvoice.com 5:33:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/528566]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Mike’s research leads him to experience the rich Ukrainian culture. However, finding the requested birthplace hits a dead end, until he meets Natasha, a young, attractive, aristocratic hotel manager.

Title: Siberian Odyssey of Hans Schroeder Author: Ashis Gupta Narrator: Timothy Howard Johnson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 43 minutes Release date: June 11, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: This is the true story of Hans Schroeder, a young German mesmerized by the Hitler Youth aura who finds himself with a SS Panzer division on the Russian front where he is captured and taken prisoner. Years later, he is released from a Siberian prisoner-of-war camp and returns to Wiesbaden, his beautiful German hometown. Those were years of great hardship in postwar Germany. Hans is lucky to find a job in Hans Wiegel's toy shop, falls in love with Eva, and eventually decides to emigrate to the USA. Hans's mother had earlier moved to America and her glowing letters fire up the young couple's dreams. Hans settles down to an exemplary family life in Massachusetts, USA until one day something happens. Hans snaps, suddenly, and commits a horrific double-murder. During the course of his trial his past experiences are exposed under psychiatric investigations, experiences that shed light on the dramatic events Hans was a part of while a prisoner of the Russians. Hans comes across as a conflicted, confused personality. If the narrative appears confused at times, it is partly because of the confusion that reigns in Hans's mind. His imagination often suppresses one identity to allow another to take shape and bubble to he surface. As the story opens in the early 1970s, Hans is sitting in a Massachusetts courthouse watching the jury selection for his second trial on two counts of murder. The harrowing details of what follows remind us that the scars inflicted by the torments and excesses of authoritarian regimes never fade away. Seldom do the demons from one's past completely disappear.

Her story is fascinating, uplifting and truly inspiring. Told in alternate voices by the award-winning author of The Joyce Girl, and with recipes that leap to life from the page, The Language of Food by Annabel Abbs is the most thought-provoking and page-turning historical novel you’ll read this year, exploring the enduring struggle for female freedom, the power of female friendship, the creativity and quiet joy of cooking and the poetry of food, all while bringing Eliza Action out of the archives and back into the public eye. ‘I love Abbs’s writing and the extraordinary, hidden stories she unearths. Eliza Acton is her best discovery yet’ Clare Pooley 'A literary - and culinary - triumph!' Hazel Gaynor ‘Exhilarating to read - thoughtful, heart-warming and poignant, with a quiet intelligence and elegance that does its heroine proud’ Bridget Collins 'A sumptuous banquet of a book that nourished me and satisfied me just as Eliza Acton’s meals would have... I adored it' Polly Crosby ‘Wonderful...

Bjarki Bloodhand and Tor Hildarsdottir are journeying south into Saxony. Their destination is the Irminsul, the One Tree that links the Nine Worlds of the Middle-Realm. In this most holy place, they hope to learn how to summon their animal spirits so they can enter the ranks of the legendary berserkir: the elite frenzied fighters of the North. One Christian king Karolus, newly crowned King of the Franks, has a thorn in his side: the warlike Saxon tribes on his northern borders who shun the teachings of the Church, blasphemously continuing to worship their pagan gods. An epic battle for the soul of the North The West's greatest warlord vows to stamp out his neighbours' superstitions and bring the light of the True Faith to the Northmen – at the point of a sword. It will fall to Bjarki, Tor and the men and women of Saxony to resist him in a struggle for the fate of all Europe.

Title: The General in His Labyrinth: A Novel Author: Gabriel García Márquez Narrator: Michael Manuel Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 59 minutes Release date: March 16, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Gabriel García Márquez’s most political novel is the tragic story of General Simón Bolívar, the man who tried to unite a continent. General Simon Bolívar, known in six Latin American countries as the Liberator, is one of the most revered heroes of the western hemisphere; in García Márquez’s brilliant reimagining he is magnificently flawed as well. The novel follows Bolívar as he takes his final journey in 1830 down the Magdalena River toward the sea, revisiting the scenes of his former glory and lamenting his lost dream of an alliance of American nations. Forced from power, dogged by assassins, and prematurely aged and wasted by a fatal illness, the General is still a remarkably vital and mercurial man. He seems to remain alive by the sheer force of will that led him to so many victories in the battlefields and love affairs of his past. As he wanders in the labyrinth of his failing powers—and still-powerful memories—he defies his impending death until the last. The General in His Labyrinth is an unforgettable portrait of a visionary from one of the greatest writers of our time.

Title: The Ripping Tree Author: Nikki Gemmell Narrator: Abbe Holmes Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 44 minutes Release date: July 1, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: GET OUT. BEFORE THEY SAVE YOU. Early 1800s. Thomasina Trelora is on her way to the colonies. Her fate: to be married to a clergyman she's never met. As the Australian coastline comes into view a storm wrecks the ship and leaves her lying on the rocks, near death. She's saved by an Aboriginal man who carries her to the door of a grand European house, Willowbrae. Tom is now free to be whoever she wants to be and a whole new life opens up to her. But as she's drawn deeper into the intriguing life of this grand estate, she discovers that things aren't quite as they seem. She stumbles across a horrifying secret at the heart of this world of colonial decorum – and realises she may have exchanged one kind of prison for another. The Ripping Tree is an intense, sharp shiver of a novel, which brings to mind such diverse influences as The Turn of the Screw, Rebecca and the film Get Out as much as it evokes The Secret River. A powerful and gripping tale of survival written in Nikki Gemmell's signature lyrical and evocative prose, it examines the darkness at the heart of early colonisation. Unsettling, audacious, thrilling and unputdownable.

She's saved by an Aboriginal man who carries her to the door of a grand European house, Willowbrae. Tom is now free to be whoever she wants to be and a whole new life opens up to her.

Digo esto convencido de la necesidad de zafar a la serie de Alatriste del sambenito de su carácter secundario, menor, y porque se hace preciso celebrar la dificultad inherente a la empresa de dotar a cada situación de su propio sentido léxico, a favor de un significado que lleva la novela histórica a un lugar de exigencia olvidado hoy por casi todos, excepto quizá por Umberto Eco, que igualmente se ha comprometido en recrear con precisión cada época convocada.» José María Pozuelo Yvancos, ABC https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/526762 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/526762]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: Ben Hur A Tale Of The Christ Author: Lew Wallace Narrator: Geoffrey Giuliano And The Icon Ensemble Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 23 hours 4 minutes Release date: June 10, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Ben-Hur is a story of two very different heroes. Judah Ben-Hur, a prince of Jerusalem, is involved in an accident to the Roman procurator which is taken to be intentional. He is seized and sent to the fleet as a galley-slave, while his family is imprisoned and the family goods confiscated. When Ben-Hur saves the fleet captain from drowning after his ship is sunk in a fight with pirates, that officer adopts him as son and heir. With Roman training, Ben-Hur distinguishes himself in the arena and the palistrae and appears to be on the way to high military command. With the help of a faithful family retainer and a generous Arab sheik, Ben-Hur is enabled to take part in a widely touted chariot race, where one of the other charioteers is the boyhood friend who connived to punish him for the accident and split his estate. That rival is crippled, financially and bodily, in a no-holds-barred race (memorable from the 1959 movie with Charlton Heston). Ben-Hur turns his attention to the prophesied King of the Jews, when through the sheik he meets Balthasar, one of the Three Wise Men, and hears of the child born years ago. Will Ben-Hur be the general who brings victories to the King, and finally liberates Israel from the oppressive Roman yoke? In his quest for the answer, Ben-Hur seeks out the Nazarene, now rumored to be The Messiah. THAT hero needs no introduction. Curious about the lack of kingly trappings and ambitions about this man, Ben-Hur begins to suspect that his kingdom is not of this world. And with him, we receive a gut-wrenching eye-witness view of Jesus’ arrest, humiliation, and crucifixion.

Title: Requiem for the Last Indian Author: Ashis Gupta Narrator: Pat Towne Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 41 minutes Release date: June 7, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: An unlikely love story of a Cree maiden from Canada's James Bay and a descendant of the first settlers of Northern Canada who came from the Orkneys of Scotland to work for the Hudson Bay Company three hundred years ago. A bittersweet tale of love, redemption, wisdom, racist attitudes, and marginalization of Canada's First Nations women spanning three hundred years into the present days of missing and murdered aboriginal women. While tracing a family's history, the novel also records the land's metamorphosis from a simple, nature-centred life to a complex world of trade, politics, intrigue, and the exploitation and degradation of the earth's resources. The novel weaves a delicate fabric on interconnections between legends, fantasy, and cultural dislocation inspired by the nautical disaster of the 'Braer', an oil tanker which perished off the coast of Shetland Island, Scotland, in 1995.

This could well be a decade-defining book akin to Bolaño’s 2666.” –AV Club “Sophisticated and ribald and brimming with folk wit. . . The comedy in this novel blends, as it does in life, with genuine tragedy.” –Dwight Garner, The New York Times LONGLISTED FOR THE 2022 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORK TIMES, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, TIME, THE NEW YORKER, AND NPR The Nobel Prize–winner’s richest, most sweeping and ambitious novel yet follows the comet-like rise and fall of a mysterious, messianic religious leader as he blazes his way across eighteenth-century Europe. In the mid-eighteenth century, as new ideas—and a new unrest—begin to sweep the Continent, a young Jew of mysterious origins arrives in a village in Poland. Before long, he has changed not only his name but his persona; visited by what seem to be ecstatic experiences, Jacob Frank casts a charismatic spell that attracts an increasingly fervent following. In the decade to come, Frank will traverse the Hapsburg and Ottoman empires with throngs of disciples in his thrall as he reinvents himself again and again, converts to Islam and then Catholicism, is pilloried as a heretic and revered as the Messiah, and wreaks havoc on the conventional order, Jewish and Christian alike, with scandalous rumors of his sect’s secret rituals and the spread of his increasingly iconoclastic beliefs. The story of Frank—a real historical figure around whom mystery and controversy swirl to this day—is the perfect canvas for the genius and unparalleled reach of Olga Tokarczuk. Narrated through the perspectives of his contemporaries—those who revere him, those who revile him, the friend who betrays him, the lone woman who sees him for what he is—The Books of Jacob captures a world on the cusp of precipitous change, searching for certainty and longing for transcendence. In a nod to books written in Hebrew, The Books of Jacob is paginated in reverse, beginning on p. 955 and ending on p. 1 – but read traditionally, front cover to back.

In 1822, a secret family moves into a secret cabin some thirty miles northeast of Baltimore, to farm, to hide, and to bear ten children over the course of the next sixteen years. Junius Booth—breadwinner, celebrated Shakespearean actor, and master of the house in more ways than one—is at once a mesmerizing talent and a man of terrifying instability. One by one the children arrive, as year by year, the country draws frighteningly closer to the boiling point of secession and civil war. As the tenor of the world shifts, the Booths emerge from their hidden lives to cement their place as one of the country’s leading theatrical families. But behind the curtains of the many stages they have graced, multiple scandals, family triumphs, and criminal disasters begin to take their toll, and the solemn siblings of John Wilkes Booth are left to reckon with the truth behind the destructively specious promise of an early prophecy. Booth is a startling portrait of a country in the throes of change and a vivid exploration of the ties that make, and break, a family.

She sets out to find them.  As it turns out, Mary is herself a “missing girl.” In another life, she was a Bennington College sophomore named Paula Jean Welden, who disappeared one night in 1946.

With the signals multiplying, the locals beginning to resent her presence, and threats coming from all sides, Mary wonders whether she can trust anyone—most of all herself.  Both a captivating mystery and a powerful thought experiment, Quantum Girl Theory spins out a new way of seeing those who seem to disappear before our eyes.

Title: [Spanish] - La vida cuando era nuestra Author: Marian Izaguirre Narrator: Cristina Sánchez, Carmen Huete Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 58 minutes Release date: June 24, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: La vida cuando era nuestra es un homenaje a la lectura, pero es sobre todo la historia de dos mujeres, una que poco sabe de la vida y otra que quizá sabe demasiado... «Añoro la vida cuando era nuestra», comenta Lola mientras trastea en la cocina de su casa. Esa vida, que era tan suya y tan llena de ilusión, estaba hecha de libros y de charlas de café, de siestas lánguidas y de proyectos para construir un país, España, que aprendía las reglas de la democracia. Pero llegó un día de 1936 en que vivir se convirtió en puro resistir, y ahora, quince años después, solo le queda una pequeña librería de viejo, medio escondida en un barrio de Madrid, donde Lola y su marido Matías acuden cada mañana para vender novelitas románticas, clásicos olvidados y lápices de colores a quien se acerque. Es aquí, en ese lugar modesto, donde una tarde de 1951 Lola conocerá a Alice, una mujer que ha encontrado en los libros su razón de vivir. Siguiendo la mirada de Lola y Alice, viéndolas sentadas detrás del pobre mostrador y leyendo juntas el mismo libro, iremos lejos, hasta Inglaterra, y atrás en el tiempo, hacia principios del siglo XX, para conocer a una niña que creió preguntándose quiénes eran sus padres. La crítica ha dicho... «La vida cuando era nuestra recuerda a una Europa que antes fue algo más que un mercado, todo un símbolo para la cultura, el libro y el humanismo, a pesar de las crueldades de sus guerras.» ABC «Marian Izaguirre [...] hace que el relato de las vidas de unos y otros, situados en tiempos y lugares diferentes, avance sin desmayo mediante un sofisticado engranaje en el que cada historia empuja a las demás. [...] La vida cuando era nuestra es una novela muy atractiva y una declaración de amor a los libros y a los libreros.» elcorreo.com «Izaguirre va navegando por la vida de sus protagonistas jugando con la sencillez de lo cotidiano, como si el mar siempre estuviera en calma, mientras se destejen los grandes conflictos y las miserias y grandezas humanas van tomando su lugar.» elperiodistadigital.com Marian Izaguirre Thu, 24 Jun 2021 02:50:19 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/525799 thebookvoice.com 12:58:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/525799]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Cloudmaker Author: Malcolm Brooks Narrator: Julia Whelan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 25 minutes Release date: March 9, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: From the nationally bestselling author of Painted Horses comes a soaring, spirited novel set during the summer of Amelia Earhart’s final flight, a tale of American ingenuity and optimism set against the backdrop of a deepening Great Depression. The summer of 1937 will be a turning point for fourteen-year-old Houston “Huck” Finn. When he and a friend find a dead body in a local creek, a rare Lindbergh flight watch on its wrist, it seems like a sign. Huck is building his own airplane, a fact he has concealed from his mother. That summer also marks the arrival of his cousin Annelise, sent to live with the family under mysterious circumstances. As it turns out, she has had flying lessons—another sign. As Huck’s airplane takes shape, so does his burgeoning understanding of the world, including the battle over worldliness vs. godliness that has split Annelise from her family and, in a quieter way, divides Huck’s family too. And meanwhile, there is the matter of the watch, which the dead man’s cohort of bank robbers would very much like back. In Brooks’s trademark “lush, breathtaking prose” (San Francisco Chronicle) and with a winking nod to the Sam Clemens who inspired its hero’s nickname, Cloudmaker is a boisterous, heartfelt novel that brings to life the idealism, inventiveness, traditionalism, and deep contradictions of the American spirit.

Title: The Paris Bookseller Author: Kerri Maher Narrator: Lauryn Allman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 37 minutes Release date: January 11, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.8 of Total 5 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: “A love letter to bookstores and libraries.” —The Boston Globe The dramatic story of how a humble bookseller fought against incredible odds to bring one of the most important books of the 20th century to the world in this new novel from the author of The Girl in White Gloves. A PopSugar Much-Anticipated 2022 Novel ∙ A BookTrib Top Ten Historical Fiction Book of Spring ∙ A SheReads’ Best Literary Historical Fiction Coming in 2022 ∙ A Reader’s Digest’s Best Books for Women Written by Female Authors ∙ A BookBub Best Historical Fiction Book of 2022   When bookish young American Sylvia Beach opens Shakespeare and Company on a quiet street in Paris in 1919, she has no idea that she and her new bookstore will change the course of literature itself.   Shakespeare and Company is more than a bookstore and lending library: Many of the prominent writers of the Lost Generation, like Ernest Hemingway, consider it a second home. It's where some of the most important literary friendships of the twentieth century are forged—none more so than the one between Irish writer James Joyce and Sylvia herself. When Joyce's controversial novel Ulysses is banned, Beach takes a massive risk and publishes it under the auspices of Shakespeare and Company.   But the success and notoriety of publishing the most infamous and influential book of the century comes with steep costs. The future of her beloved store itself is threatened when Ulysses' success brings other publishers to woo Joyce away. Her most cherished relationships are put to the test as Paris is plunged deeper into the Depression and many expatriate friends return to America.

It's where some of the most important literary friendships of the twentieth century are forged—none more so than the one between Irish writer James Joyce and Sylvia herself. When Joyce's controversial novel Ulysses is banned, Beach takes a massive risk and publishes it under the auspices of Shakespeare and Company.   But the success and notoriety of publishing the most infamous and influential book of the century comes with steep costs. The future of her beloved store itself is threatened when Ulysses' success brings other publishers to woo Joyce away. Her most cherished relationships are put to the test as Paris is plunged deeper into the Depression and many expatriate friends return to America.

Title: Love & Saffron: A Novel of Friendship, Food, and Love Author: Kim Fay Narrator: Kim Fay, Kimberly Farr, Cassandra Campbell, Mark Bramhall, Maggie-Meg Reed Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 46 minutes Release date: February 8, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.75 of Total 4 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: The Instant National Bestseller and #1 Indie Next Pick In the vein of the classic 84, Charing Cross Road, this witty and tender novel follows two women in 1960s America as they discover that food really does connect us all, and that friendship and laughter are the best medicine. When twenty-seven-year-old Joan Bergstrom sends a fan letter--as well as a gift of saffron--to fifty-nine-year-old Imogen Fortier, a life-changing friendship begins. Joan lives in Los Angeles and is just starting out as a writer for the newspaper food pages. Imogen lives on Camano Island outside Seattle, writing a monthly column for a Pacific Northwest magazine, and while she can hunt elk and dig for clams, she’s never tasted fresh garlic--exotic fare in the Northwest of the sixties. As the two women commune through their letters, they build a closeness that sustains them through the Cuban Missile Crisis, the assassination of President Kennedy, and the unexpected in their own lives.   Food and a good life—they can’t be separated. It is a discovery the women share, not only with each other, but with the men in their lives. Because of her correspondence with Joan, Imogen’s decades-long marriage blossoms into something new and exciting, and in turn, Joan learns that true love does not always come in the form we expect it to. Into this beautiful, intimate world comes the ultimate test of Joan and Imogen’s friendship—a test that summons their unconditional trust in each other.   A brief respite from our chaotic world, Love & Saffron is a gem of a novel, a reminder that food and friendship are the antidote to most any heartache, and that human connection will always be worth creating.

So begins another average evening for Marjorie Merriweather Post. Presidents have come and gone, but she has hosted them all. Growing up in the modest farmlands of Battle Creek, Michigan, Marjorie was inspired by a few simple rules: always think for yourself, never take success for granted, and work hard—even when deemed American royalty, even while covered in imperial diamonds. Marjorie had an insatiable drive to live and love and to give more than she got. From crawling through Moscow warehouses to rescue the Tsar’s treasures to outrunning the Nazis in London, from serving the homeless of the Great Depression to entertaining Roosevelts, Kennedys, and Hollywood’s biggest stars, Marjorie Merriweather Post lived an epic life few could imagine.   Marjorie’s journey began gluing cereal boxes in her father’s barn as a young girl. No one could have predicted that C. W. Post’s Cereal Company would grow into the General Foods empire and reshape the American way of life, with Marjorie as its heiress and leading lady. Not content to stay in her prescribed roles of high-society wife, mother, and hostess, Marjorie dared to demand more, making history in the process. Before turning thirty she amassed millions, becoming the wealthiest woman in the United States. But it was her life-force, advocacy, passion, and adventurous spirit that led to her stunning legacy.   And yet Marjorie’s story, though full of beauty and grandeur, set in the palatial homes she built such as Mar-a-Lago, was equally marked by challenge and tumult. A wife four times over, Marjorie sought her happily-ever-after with the blue-blooded party boy who could not outrun his demons, the charismatic financier whose charm turned to betrayal, the international diplomat with a dark side, and the bon vivant whose shocking secrets would shake Marjorie and all of society. Marjorie did everything on a grand scale, especially when it came to love. Bestselling and acclaimed author Allison Pataki has crafted an intimate portrait of a larger-than-life woman, a powerful story of one woman falling in love with her own voice and embracing her own power while shaping history in the process.

No one could have predicted that C. W. Post’s Cereal Company would grow into the General Foods empire and reshape the American way of life, with Marjorie as its heiress and leading lady. Not content to stay in her prescribed roles of high-society wife, mother, and hostess, Marjorie dared to demand more, making history in the process. Before turning thirty she amassed millions, becoming the wealthiest woman in the United States. But it was her life-force, advocacy, passion, and adventurous spirit that led to her stunning legacy.   And yet Marjorie’s story, though full of beauty and grandeur, set in the palatial homes she built such as Mar-a-Lago, was equally marked by challenge and tumult. A wife four times over, Marjorie sought her happily-ever-after with the blue-blooded party boy who could not outrun his demons, the charismatic financier whose charm turned to betrayal, the international diplomat with a dark side, and the bon vivant whose shocking secrets would shake Marjorie and all of society. Marjorie did everything on a grand scale, especially when it came to love. Bestselling and acclaimed author Allison Pataki has crafted an intimate portrait of a larger-than-life woman, a powerful story of one woman falling in love with her own voice and embracing her own power while shaping history in the process. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/525569 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/525569]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Surgeon's Daughter Author: Audrey Blake Narrator: Susan Lyons Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 24 minutes Release date: May 10, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.75 of Total 4 Ratings of Narrator: 3.67 of Total 3 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Women's work is a matter of life and death. Nora Beady, the only female student at a prestigious medical school in Bologna, is a rarity. In the 19th century women are expected to remain at home and raise children, so her unconventional, indelicate ambitions to become a licensed surgeon offend the men around her. Under constant scrutiny, Nora's successes are taken for granted; her mistakes used as proof that women aren't suited to the field. Everything changes when she allies herself with Magdalena Morenco, the sole female doctor on staff. Together the two women develop a groundbreaking surgery: the Cesarean section. It's a highly dangerous procedure and the research is grueling, but even worse is the vitriolic response from men. Most don't trust the findings of women, and many can choose to deny their wives medical care. Already facing resistance on all sides, Nora is shaken when she meets a patient who will die without the surgery. If the procedure is successful, her work could change the world. But a failure could cost everything: precious lives, Nora's career, and the role women will be allowed to play in medicine.

Title: Revolutionary Surgeons: Patriots and Loyalists on the Cutting Edge Author: Per-Olof Hasselgren Narrator: Graham Winton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 9 minutes Release date: October 12, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Revolutionary Surgeons offers an integrated picture of surgeons as political and military leaders of the American Revolution. Prominent surgeons participated in political activities that ultimately resulted in the breakaway of the colonies from Britain. Surgeons were members of the Sons of Liberty and other groups opposing Acts imposed on the colonies by Parliament. Similar to other groups in society, surgeons were split in their view of the growing opposition against the English rule of the American colonies and the wish to create an independent nation. Even with different opinions of the revolution, Loyalists and Patriots were often able to get along and live peacefully in the same communities. Surgery underwent dramatic developments during the 1700s. Although anesthesia was still a century in the future, surgeons performed extensive procedures, including laparotomies (opening of the abdomen) for tumors, mastectomies for cancerous growths, amputations of the leg above or below the knee, and cutting for the stone (removal of bladder stones). An increased understanding of human anatomy was one reason why surgeons kept moving the boundaries of what was considered possible. With no anesthesia, patients’ screams from pain and horror were unimaginable. Many patients died from shock on the operating table or from postoperative bleedings and infections. Stories about surgeons as leaders of the American Revolution and about their heroic surgical procedures provide for an exciting read.

Title: The Eye of the Tigress Author: Paul Coggins Narrator: Joe Barrett Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 23 minutes Release date: August 24, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Cash McCahill, a criminal lawyer at the top of his game, turns down cartel clients and their dirty money. That is, until a lethal drug czarina, La Tigra, forces him to defend an unwinnable case and win it—or else. Criminal defense lawyer Cash McCahill pleads for his life before a jury of one: La Tigra, the lethal leader of a drug cartel. To avoid ending up as an appetizer for her pet tiger, he promises to defend the case of her choice and win it. When La Tigra calls in the chit, Cash has no way out of cartel hell, except death. Lose at trial, and he will pay with his life. Win, and he becomes the go-to mouthpiece for merchants of death—surviving only as long as he keeps winning. A rival cartel moves into Texas and gives Cash a choice: work for the new killers on the block or die at La Tigra’s side. Bombings on both sides of the border put Cash in the crosshairs of two gangs and two governments. As if there is a difference. To escape the clutches of the cops and the cartels, Cash must broker a ceasefire, but peace and his deliverance will come with a heavy price.

Title: Undersong Author: Kathleen Winter Narrator: Clare Kissane, Nneka Okoye, Tim Bruce Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 17 minutes Release date: August 17, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: “A stunning, spellbinding, poetic triumph.' —Toronto Star   From Giller-shortlisted author Kathleen Winter (author of the bestseller Annabel): A stunning novel reimagining the lost years of misunderstood Romantic Era genius Dorothy Wordsworth. When young James Dixon, a local jack-of-all-trades recently returned from the Battle of Waterloo, meets Dorothy Wordsworth, he quickly realizes he’s never met another woman anything like her. In her early thirties, Dorothy has already lived a wildly unconventional life. And as her famous brother William Wordsworth’s confidante and creative collaborator—considered by some in their circle to be the secret to his success as a poet—she has carved a seemingly idyllic existence for herself, alongside William and his wife, in England’s Lake District.    One day, Dixon is approached by William to do some handiwork around the Wordsworth estate. Soon he takes on more and more chores—and quickly understands that his real, unspoken responsibility is to keep an eye on Dorothy, who is growing frail and melancholic. The unlikely pair of misfits form a sympathetic bond despite the troubling chasm in social class between them, and soon Dixon is the quiet witness to everyday life in Dorothy’s family and glittering social circle, which includes literary legends Samuel Coleridge, Thomas de Quincy, William Blake, and Charles and Mary Lamb.   Through the fictional James Dixon—a gentle but troubled soul, more attuned to the wonders of the garden he faithfully tends than to vexing worldly matters—we step inside the Wordsworth family, witnessing their dramatic emotional and artistic struggles, hidden traumas, private betrayals and triumphs. At the same time, Winter slowly weaves a darker, complex “undersong” through the novel, one as earthy and elemental as flower and tree, gradually revealing the pattern of Dorothy's rich, hidden life—that of a woman determined, against all odds, to exist on her own terms. But the unsettling effects of Dorothy’s tragically repressed brilliance take their toll, and when at last her true voice sings out, it is so searing and bright that Dixon must make an impossible choice.

At the same time, Winter slowly weaves a darker, complex “undersong” through the novel, one as earthy and elemental as flower and tree, gradually revealing the pattern of Dorothy's rich, hidden life—that of a woman determined, against all odds, to exist on her own terms. But the unsettling effects of Dorothy’s tragically repressed brilliance take their toll, and when at last her true voice sings out, it is so searing and bright that Dixon must make an impossible choice.

When young James Dixon, a local jack-of-all-trades recently returned from the Battle of Waterloo, meets Dorothy Wordsworth, he quickly realizes he’s never met another woman anything like her. In her early thirties, Dorothy has already lived a wildly unconventional life. And as her famous brother William Wordsworth’s confidante and creative collaborator—considered by some in their circle to be the secret to his success as a poet—she has carved a seemingly idyllic existence for herself, alongside William and his wife, in England’s Lake District.    One day, Dixon is approached by William to do some handiwork around the Wordsworth estate. Soon he takes on more and more chores—and quickly understands that his real, unspoken responsibility is to keep an eye on Dorothy, who is growing frail and melancholic. The unlikely pair of misfits form a sympathetic bond despite the troubling chasm in social class between them, and soon Dixon is the quiet witness to everyday life in Dorothy’s family and glittering social circle, which includes literary legends Samuel Coleridge, Thomas de Quincy, William Blake, and Charles and Mary Lamb.   Through the fictional James Dixon—a gentle but troubled soul, more attuned to the wonders of the garden he faithfully tends than to vexing worldly matters—we step inside the Wordsworth family, witnessing their dramatic emotional and artistic struggles, hidden traumas, private betrayals and triumphs.

Title: All the Beautiful Liars (Unabridged) Author: Sylvia Petter Narrator: Bromwyn Grannall Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 9 minutes Release date: March 26, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: 'A stylistically daring, hurricane-paced and genuinely impressive feat of the imagination' - Billy O'Callaghan As a child in Australia in the Fifties, Katrina Klain is taunted in the playground as a Nazi, long before she knows what the word means. Her German mother and her Austrian father seem to be ordinary people who simply ended up on the wrong side of history, but Katrina yearns to know more about her origins. Leaving the New World behind as soon as she can, she heads to Vienna, where she imagines her Germanic name will no longer be a burden, armed with what turns out to be an inexhaustible list of questions. Is the sleazy uncle exiled to Spain a crook or a hero of the anti-Nazi resistance? Why does her father insist his brother is dead? And is her cousin in East Germany really a Stasi agent? Decades later, during a long flight back to Australia, Katrina attempts to reassemble the pieces of the puzzle she has spent so long researching. In her dream-like version of an in-flight movie, a mysterious other-worldly guide seems to know - and have control over - her own future. Told in a thrillingly inventive narrative style, Sylvia Petter's debut novel is a powerful, pacy tale about making peace with the past, which also paints a richly evocative picture of Central Europe in the early decades after the war.

Title: The Rebel Nun Author: Marj Charlier Narrator: Kate Reading Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 15 minutes Release date: March 2, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Marj Charlier’s The Rebel Nun is based on the true story of Clotild, the daughter of a sixth-century king and his concubine, who leads a rebellion of nuns against the rising misogyny and patriarchy of the medieval church. At that time, women are afforded few choices in life: prostitution, motherhood, or the cloister. Only the latter offers them any kind of independence. By the end of the sixth century, even this is eroding as the church begins to eject women from the clergy and declares them too unclean to touch sacramental objects or even their priest-husbands. Craving the legitimacy thwarted by her bastard status, Clotild seeks to become the next abbess of the female Monastery of the Holy Cross, the most famous of the women’s cloisters of the early Middle Ages. When the bishop of Poitiers blocks her appointment and seeks to control the nunnery himself, Clotild masterminds an escape, leading a group of nuns on a dangerous pilgrimage to beg her royal relatives to intercede on their behalf. But the bishop refuses to back down, and a bloody battle ensues. Will Clotild and her sisters succeed with their quest, or will they face excommunication, possibly even death? In the only historical novel written about the incident, The Rebel Nun is a richly imagined story about a truly remarkable heroine.

Toledo, 1579. El padre Martín Ayala recibe la inesperada encomienda de regresar a Japón -el país donde se formó como sacerdote y misionero- diez años después de ser apartado de la misión por su relación ilícita con una joven japonesa.

Before she took her first breath, her fate had been sealed. Residing in the Jewish Quarter of the city, Meira's early life was typical. She fell in love with a local boy, got married, and had a daughter. Then the German army marched into Warsaw and everything changed. Forced into the ghetto with her family, she found survival to be a daily struggle. Hunger, disease, and unimaginable cruelty were her stark realities. When the ghetto was purged and she was sent to a concentration camp, Meira still had her family, and that was all that mattered. Then the camp was liquidated, and only a handful of survivors remained out of thousands. Meira Sokolow was one of them. No longer a wife or mother, Meira emigrated to New York City. After World War II, the world wanted to move on and start a new chapter, but Meira couldn't turn the page so easily. She walked through her days alone, like a ghost with nothing to tether her to the earth. Then she met Max, a handsome American, who first mistook her for one of the boring socialites he encountered every day. He soon learned she was unlike anyone he had met before, seeing her strength and resilience, even when she couldn't. Max knew he could breathe life into her again, if only she would let him.

Title: Benevolence Author: Julie Janson Narrator: Tamala Shelton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 23 minutes Release date: August 1, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: NOMINATED FOR THE MARK & EVETTE MORAN NIB LITERARY AWARD For perhaps the first time in novel form, Benevolence presents an important era in Australia's history from an Aboriginal perspective. Told through the fictional characterisation of Darug woman Muraging (Mary James), Benevolence is a compelling story of first contact. Born around 1813, Muraging is among the earliest Darug generations to experience the impact of British colonisation – a time of cataclysmic change and violence, but also remarkable survival and resistance. At an early age Muraging is given over to the Parramatta Native School by her Darug father. Fleeing the school in pursuit of love, she embarks on a journey of discovery and a search for a safe place to make her home. Spanning the years 1816–35, Benevolence is set around the Hawkesbury River area, the home of the Darug people, in Parramatta and Sydney. Julie Janson's intensely visual prose interweaves historical events with detailed characterisation – she shatters stereotypes and gives voice to an Aboriginal experience of early-settlement. 'Janson's writing is evocative...The shame of colonisation is amplified by the proud complexities of the narrative...Muraging's – and Janson's – refusal to perform the victim to voyeurs of trauma is an act of defiance.' SUNDAY AGE 'The gut-truths presented in Benevolence are tied to a larger reckoning needed in Australian society – one that involves a centring of First Nation voices, a willingness to address not just a violent history, but a hostile and violent present.' HAYLEY SCRIVENOR, Mascara Literary Review 'Benevolence is a searing, unforgettable work...this novel is of immense importance' JOY LAWN, Paperbark Words] 'The text's undulation evokes the ever-changing interactions between settlers and Aboriginal populations following settlement, giving voice to an oft-overlooked Aboriginal perspective.' AUSTRALIAN BOOK REVIEW “Janson's descriptions are beautifully lyrical...compelling.'

Title: The Remains of the Corps, Vol. 1: Ivy and The Crossing Author: Will Remain, Thomas W. Hebert Narrator: Grover Gardner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 18 minutes Release date: February 23, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: The Remains of the Corps tells the story of a fictional United States Marine Corps family history and is a tribute to this legendary fighting force. The United States Marine Corps has been a household name for generations. True to the lyrics of its official hymn, the Corps has fought its country’s battles in the air, on land, and sea for more than two hundred years. For many, serving in the Corps has been and continues to be a “family business.” The fictional Remains (an anagram for Marines) are one such family. Told by a third-generation Marine and Vietnam veteran, the fictional Will Remain, the saga begins with his grandfather Kenneth Remain—born in Worcester, Massachusetts, and educated at Harvard College. They, and other members of their family, are Marines, but there is more to their stories—much more. Figuring prominently in their lives are the born-to-the-purple Kenneth Blakeslee and the beautiful KatyKay Mulcahy. In a companion PDF, the listener is also introduced to the fifty-seven enlisted men of the fictional Fourth Platoon of the 87th Company of the true-to-life Third Battalion of the Sixth Marine Regiment, and twenty-four fictional officers of that battalion. Author Will Remain informs the listener with a tightly drawn narrative for each of these officers, NCOs, academics, cadets, athletes, farmers, tradesmen, and white-collar workers as they head off to war. Illustrator Tara Kaz breathes life into their stories with more than fifty sketches. Q&A with the author: Why did you undertake this multi-volume project? How does your service in the Marines influence this book? My service in the Marines is the single most important motivation behind my writing The Remains of the Corps. Joining the Marines in 1968, at the height of the Vietnam War, I followed in my father’s footsteps. Dad served in the Corps during WWII and fought on Iwo Jima. He sang the Marine Corps Hymn so often over the years that I began singing it as well. As soon as I graduated college, I signed up and completed OCS and the Basic School and became an officer (1st Lieutenant). I served from 1968 – 1971 (Vietnam ’70 – ’71). I love the Marine Corps and am forever grateful to it. It shaped me for a lifetime. Writing a six-volume story about Marines is my way of giving back and, hopefully, doing my small part to perpetuate the Corps’ legendary status. I also came away from my Marine Corps experience in Vietnam with some survivor guilt. It is difficult to explain, but it has me in its grip. The Remains of the Corps is, first and foremost, an epic literary endeavor; I couldn’t pay true tribute to the Corps with anything less. When will Volume II be published? Volume II, titled The Remains of the Corps: Belleau Wood will be published in approximately two years. Seven chapters have been completed and the volume is fully outlined and researched. Though it took me ten years to bring the first volume to press, that time included training myself to be an author as well as years of researching the entire project. Future volumes will take two years each. Where did the name “Will Remain” come from? REMAIN is an anagram for MARINE REMAIN is a synonym for endure, prevail, persist, and commit — all things Marines have a reputation for. The given name WILL was chosen as it is a verb expressing the future tense as in “I WILL REMAIN” committed. The fictional REMAIN family (three generations) REMAINS committed to the Marine Corps. Why are you using the pseudonym Will Remain? My primary purpose in using a pseudonym is to have the story be told by a member of the fictional Remain family. (Will Remain is the grandson of Kenneth Remain, the Volume I protagonist. I also didn’t want my writing to be about me, but about the Corps and those who have served in the Corps. However, it turns out that readers, Marines in particular, want to know who is writing about them, so I have been convinced to add my name and bio to the soon-to-be-released paperback version and to future printings of all editions. Have you published anything before this? Yes. Two non-fiction books: Once An Eagle: A Reader’s Companion Notes on Once An Eagle What authors have influenced your work? Four authors have influenced my writing: First and foremost: Anton Myrer, author of the well-known epic novel Once An Eagle (the subject of my two non-fiction books). Though I never met him, he is my literary mentor; he taught me how to write. Also: F. Scott Fitzgerald, especially as it relates to the significant use of songs and lyrics. Lewis Carroll, for his use of illustration to both inform and entertain his readers. Herman Melville, in that I employ a mix of styles and points of view, and I look at the story content from all angles. Will Remain, Thomas W.

How does your service in the Marines influence this book? My service in the Marines is the single most important motivation behind my writing The Remains of the Corps. Joining the Marines in 1968, at the height of the Vietnam War, I followed in my father’s footsteps. Dad served in the Corps during WWII and fought on Iwo Jima. He sang the Marine Corps Hymn so often over the years that I began singing it as well. As soon as I graduated college, I signed up and completed OCS and the Basic School and became an officer (1st Lieutenant). I served from 1968 – 1971 (Vietnam ’70 – ’71). I love the Marine Corps and am forever grateful to it. It shaped me for a lifetime. Writing a six-volume story about Marines is my way of giving back and, hopefully, doing my small part to perpetuate the Corps’ legendary status. I also came away from my Marine Corps experience in Vietnam with some survivor guilt. It is difficult to explain, but it has me in its grip. The Remains of the Corps is, first and foremost, an epic literary endeavor; I couldn’t pay true tribute to the Corps with anything less. When will Volume II be published? Volume II, titled The Remains of the Corps: Belleau Wood will be published in approximately two years. Seven chapters have been completed and the volume is fully outlined and researched. Though it took me ten years to bring the first volume to press, that time included training myself to be an author as well as years of researching the entire project. Future volumes will take two years each. Where did the name “Will Remain” come from? REMAIN is an anagram for MARINE REMAIN is a synonym for endure, prevail, persist, and commit — all things Marines have a reputation for. The given name WILL was chosen as it is a verb expressing the future tense as in “I WILL REMAIN” committed. The fictional REMAIN family (three generations) REMAINS committed to the Marine Corps. Why are you using the pseudonym Will Remain? My primary purpose in using a pseudonym is to have the story be told by a member of the fictional Remain family. (Will Remain is the grandson of Kenneth Remain, the Volume I protagonist. I also didn’t want my writing to be about me, but about the Corps and those who have served in the Corps. However, it turns out that readers, Marines in particular, want to know who is writing about them, so I have been convinced to add my name and bio to the soon-to-be-released paperback version and to future printings of all editions. Have you published anything before this? Yes. Two non-fiction books: Once An Eagle: A Reader’s Companion Notes on Once An Eagle What authors have influenced your work? Four authors have influenced my writing: First and foremost: Anton Myrer, author of the well-known epic novel Once An Eagle (the subject of my two non-fiction books). Though I never met him, he is my literary mentor; he taught me how to write. Also: F. Scott Fitzgerald, especially as it relates to the significant use of songs and lyrics. Lewis Carroll, for his use of illustration to both inform and entertain his readers. Herman Melville, in that I employ a mix of styles and points of view, and I look at the story content from all angles. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/523125 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/523125]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: News of the Dead Author: James Robertson Narrator: Sheila Reid, David Monteath, David Rintoul Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 30 minutes Release date: August 5, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. 'To tell the story of a country or a continent is surely a great and complex undertaking; but the story of a quiet, unnoticed place where there are few people, fewer memories and almost no reliable records - a place such as Glen Conach - may actually be harder to piece together. The hazier everything becomes, the more whatever facts there are become entangled with myth and legend. . .' Deep in the mountains of north-east Scotland lies Glen Conach, a place of secrets and memories, fable and history. In particular, it holds the stories of three different eras, separated by centuries yet linked by location, by an ancient manuscript and by echoes that travel across time. In ancient Pictland, the Christian hermit Conach contemplates God and nature, performs miracles and prepares himself for sacrifice. Long after his death, legends about him are set down by an unknown hand in the Book of Conach. Generations later, in the early nineteenth century, self-promoting antiquarian Charles Kirkliston Gibb is drawn to the Glen, and into the big house at the heart of its fragile community. In the present day, young Lachie whispers to Maja of a ghost he thinks he has seen. Reflecting on her long life, Maja believes him, for she is haunted by ghosts of her own. News of the Dead is a captivating exploration of refuge, retreat and the reception of strangers. It measures the space between the stories people tell of themselves - what they forget and what they invent - and the stories through which they may, or may not, be remembered. © James Robertson 2021 (P) Penguin Audio 2021 James Robertson Thu, 05 Aug 2021 02:50:19 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/523092 thebookvoice.com 14:30:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/523092]]> to listen full audiobooks.

In Deadwood, her runaway younger sister, Addie, is living and working as domestic help at Mrs. Hossiter's boardinghouse, according to her letters. Five years after Addie's flight from home, Sarah is carrying the sad news that their one remaining parent, newspaper publisher Isaac Merritt, has died. But when Sarah—tall, prim, and nearly a spinster at twenty-five—sets up her father's printing press in the middle of Main Street, she finds herself at loggerheads with Sheriff Noah Campbell. Headstrong and opinionated, with an auburn mustache and grinning gray eyes, he arrests her on the spot. And so begins an enmity between two willful individuals that can change only when they find themselves united in a common goal: to reclaim the Addie that Sarah once knew. But life is never simple. Mrs. Hossiter is more commonly known as Rosie in this bawdy frontier town, and Addie's work is as an 'upstairs girl,' not an upstairs maid. Addie is furious when Sarah turns up at the bordello—and she tells her proper sister to get out.

In Deadwood, her runaway younger sister, Addie, is living and working as domestic help at Mrs. Hossiter's boardinghouse, according to her letters. Five years after Addie's flight from home, Sarah is carrying the sad news that their one remaining parent, newspaper publisher Isaac Merritt, has died. But when Sarah—tall, prim, and nearly a spinster at twenty-five—sets up her father's printing press in the middle of Main Street, she finds herself at loggerheads with Sheriff Noah Campbell. Headstrong and opinionated, with an auburn mustache and grinning gray eyes, he arrests her on the spot. And so begins an enmity between two willful individuals that can change only when they find themselves united in a common goal: to reclaim the Addie that Sarah once knew. But life is never simple. Mrs. Hossiter is more commonly known as Rosie in this bawdy frontier town, and Addie's work is as an 'upstairs girl,' not an upstairs maid. Addie is furious when Sarah turns up at the bordello—and she tells her proper sister to get out. What could have happened to change Addie so—and what can Sarah do to regain the sweet sister of her youth and bring her home again?

Title: When the Missouri Ran Red Author: James Woolard Narrator: Kevin T. Collins Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 19 minutes Release date: September 28, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Autumn, 1864. Rebel bushwhackers have seized and looted a small town in Missouri. Wounded and left for dead by his half-brother, seventeen-year-old Owen Wainwright is captured and conscripted by the Confederate Army. As the troops' blacksmith, he witnesses the horrors of war firsthand: the savagery of General Selby's Iron Brigade, the massacres of Union troops, the bloody battles at Lexington, Westport, and Mine Creek. Against all odds, Owen survives with the help of an unlikely ally—a new friend in arms and the only person he trusts. But if fate is cruel, war can be crueler . . . Caught in the crossfire of a deadly Yankee ambush, Owen is arrested and jailed in a Union prison. Beaten and brutalized by guards, he begins to give up hope—until a US Marshal comes to him with an unusual offer. Owen's traitorous half-brother is wanted for murder. If Owen agrees to help the US Marshal infiltrate the Texas winter camp of Confederate guerillas—and bring his brother to justice—Owen will have both his freedom and his revenge. But the risks are great. The price of getting caught is death. Filled with raw human drama, blistering battle scenes, and vivid historical details, When the Missouri Ran Red is destined to be a classic in the field and a treasure for Civil War buffs.

Title: Only Charlotte Author: Rosemary Poole-Carter Narrator: Katherine Parr Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 56 minutes Release date: April 23, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Only Charlotte unwinds a tale of entanglements, both amorous and murderous, in post-Civil War New Orleans. Lenore James, a discerning woman of independent means who has outlived three husbands, suspects that her brother, Dr. Gilbert Crew, has been beguiled by the lovely and married Charlotte Eden. Lenore knows that Charlotte’s husband is enmeshed in the re-enslavement schemes of a powerful, unscrupulous judge, and she sees Gilbert’s adoration of Charlotte leading to disaster. Inspired by seeing a production of Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale, Lenore adopts the role of Paulina for herself to discover how far Charlotte’s husband bears the blame for his wife’s fate and whether or not he is capable of atonement. In her process of unraveling the intricacies of the lives of others, Lenore finds that Gilbert’s love for Charlotte is, after all, his saving grace while Lenore’s passion for creative expression is her own. In the Southern Gothic tradition, Only Charlotte inhabits an atmosphere of decadence and decay in which flawed and eccentric characters, ranging from the heroic to the despicable, are captured in narrator Katherine Parr’s mesmerizing performance. A stage actress and singer, Katherine Parr breathes life into every character and gives her rich voice to Lenore with a cadence that weaves sensuality and mystery with a thread of hope and possibilities. While portraying a particular 19th century woman chafing against the misogyny and racism rife in the South, Katherine Parr imbues Lenore James with the universal and timeless quality of women who face adversity and choose to speak for themselves.

Title: The Original Manuscript The Great Gatsby Author: F. Scott Fitzgerald Narrator: Geoffrey Giuliano And The Icon Ensemble Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 41 minutes Release date: May 10, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel by American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. Set in the Jazz Age on Long Island, the novel depicts narrator Nick Carraway's interactions with mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and Gatsby's obsession to reunite with his former lover, Daisy Buchanan. A youthful romance Fitzgerald had with socialite Ginevra King, and the riotous parties he attended on Long Island's North Shore in 1922 inspired the novel. Following a move to the French Riviera, he completed a rough draft in 1924. He submitted the draft to editor Maxwell Perkins, who persuaded Fitzgerald to revise the work over the following winter. After his revisions, Fitzgerald was satisfied with the text, but remained ambivalent about the book's title and considered several alternatives. After its publication by Scribner's in April 1925, The Great Gatsby received generally favorable reviews, although some literary critics believed it did not hold up to Fitzgerald's previous efforts and signaled the end of the author's literary achievements. Despite the warm critical reception, Gatsby was a commercial failure. The book sold fewer than 20,000 copies by October, and Fitzgerald's hopes of a monetary windfall from the novel were unrealized. When the author died in 1940, he believed himself to be a failure and his work forgotten. After his death, the novel faced a critical and scholarly re-examination amid World War II, and it soon became a core part of most American high school curricula and a focus of American popular culture. Numerous stage and film adaptations followed in the subsequent decades. Gatsby continues to attract popular and scholarly attention. The novel was most recently adapted to film in 2013 by director Baz Luhrmann, while contemporary scholars emphasize the novel's treatment of social class, inherited wealth compared to those who are self-made, race, environmentalism, and its cynical attitude towards the American dream.

After his death, the novel faced a critical and scholarly re-examination amid World War II, and it soon became a core part of most American high school curricula and a focus of American popular culture. Numerous stage and film adaptations followed in the subsequent decades. Gatsby continues to attract popular and scholarly attention. The novel was most recently adapted to film in 2013 by director Baz Luhrmann, while contemporary scholars emphasize the novel's treatment of social class, inherited wealth compared to those who are self-made, race, environmentalism, and its cynical attitude towards the American dream.

Scott Fitzgerald Narrator: Geoffrey Giuliano And The Icon Ensemble Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 41 minutes Release date: May 10, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel by American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. Set in the Jazz Age on Long Island, the novel depicts narrator Nick Carraway's interactions with mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and Gatsby's obsession to reunite with his former lover, Daisy Buchanan. A youthful romance Fitzgerald had with socialite Ginevra King, and the riotous parties he attended on Long Island's North Shore in 1922 inspired the novel. Following a move to the French Riviera, he completed a rough draft in 1924. He submitted the draft to editor Maxwell Perkins, who persuaded Fitzgerald to revise the work over the following winter. After his revisions, Fitzgerald was satisfied with the text, but remained ambivalent about the book's title and considered several alternatives. After its publication by Scribner's in April 1925, The Great Gatsby received generally favorable reviews, although some literary critics believed it did not hold up to Fitzgerald's previous efforts and signaled the end of the author's literary achievements. Despite the warm critical reception, Gatsby was a commercial failure. The book sold fewer than 20,000 copies by October, and Fitzgerald's hopes of a monetary windfall from the novel were unrealized. When the author died in 1940, he believed himself to be a failure and his work forgotten. After his death, the novel faced a critical and scholarly re-examination amid World War II, and it soon became a core part of most American high school curricula and a focus of American popular culture.

The novel was most recently adapted to film in 2013 by director Baz Luhrmann, while contemporary scholars emphasize the novel's treatment of social class, inherited wealth compared to those who are self-made, race, environmentalism, and its cynical attitude towards the American dream. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/521848 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/521848]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Olga: A Novel Author: Bernhard Schlink Narrator: Nathalie Buscombe Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 51 minutes Release date: September 21, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: “Two world wars and the passage of more than a century do not overshadow [Bernhard Schlink’s] story of lovers who never fully belong to each other, just as they never fully belonged to the world.”—Booklist “A brilliant novel about history and the nature of memory.”—Evening Standard A sweeping novel of love and passion from author of the international bestseller The Reader about a woman out of step with her time, whose life is witness to some of the most tumultuous events of modern age. Abandoned by her parents, young Olga is raised by her grandmother in a Prussian village in the early years of the twentieth century. Smart and precocious, endearing but uncompromising, she fights against ingrained chauvinism to find her place in a world run by lesser men. When Olga falls in love with her neighbor, Herbert, the son of a local aristocrat, her life is irremediably changed. While Herbert indulges his thirst for exploration and adventure, Olga is limited by her gender and circumstance. Her love for Herbert goes against all odds and encounters many obstacles, but even when they are separated, it endures Unfolding across decades—from the late nineteenth to the early twenty-first century—and across continents—from Germany to Africa and the Arctic, from the Baltic Sea to the German south-west—Olga is an epic romance, and a wrenching tale of a woman’s devotion to a restless man in an age of constant change. Though Olga exists in the shadows of others, she pursues life to the fullest and her magnetic presence shines—revealing a woman complex, fascinating, and unforgettable.  Told in three distinct parts, brilliantly shifting from different points of view and narrative formats, Bernhard Schlink’s magnificent novel is a rich, full portrait of a singular woman and her world.

Title: Gordo: Stories Author: Jaime Cortez Narrator: Alejandro Ruiz Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 39 minutes Release date: August 17, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 2 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: The first ever collection of short stories by Jaime Cortez, Gordo is set in a migrant workers camp near Watsonville, California in the 1970s. A young, probably gay, boy named Gordo puts on a wrestler’s mask and throws fists with a boy in the neighborhood, fighting his own tears as he tries to grow into the idea of manhood so imposed on him by his father. As he comes of age, Gordo learns about sex, watches his father’s drunken fights, and discovers even his own documented Mexican-American parents are wary of illegal migrants. Fat Cookie, high schooler and resident artist, uses tiny library pencils to draw huge murals of graffiti flowers along the camp’s blank walls, the words “CHICANO POWER” boldly lettered across, until she runs away from home one day with her mother’s boyfriend, Manny, and steals her mother’s Panasonic radio for a final dance competition among the camp kids before she disappears. And then there are Los Tigres, the perfect pair of twins so dark they look like indios, Pepito and Manuel, who show up at Gyrich Farms every season without fail. Los Tigres, champion drinkers, end up assaulting each other in a drunken brawl, until one of them is rushed to the emergency room still slumped in an upholstered chair tied to the back of a pick-up truck. These scenes from Steinbeck Country seen so intimately from within are full of humor, family drama, and a sweet frankness about serious matters – who belongs to America and how are they treated? How does one learn decency, when laborers, grown adults, must fear for their lives and livelihoods as they try to do everything to bring home a paycheck? Written with balance and poise, Cortez braids together elegant and inviting stories about life on a California camp, in essence redefining what all-American means.

Siete hermanas, siete destinos, un padre con un pasado misterioso... Ally D'Aplièse está a punto de competir en una de las más peligrosas regatas de yates del mundo cuando recibe la noticia de que su padre acaba de fallecer. Al reunirse en la mansión familiar en Suiza con sus cinco hermanas descubren que su padre, un misterioso multimillonario conocido cariñosamente como Pa Salt, ha dejado a cada una de ellas una carta con información sobre sus orígenes. Tras leerla Ally decide dejar a un lado tanto el mar como la apasionada relación que acababa de comenzar para seguir una pista que la lleva hasta la nevada Noruega. Allí descubrirá sus raíces y cómo su historia está unida a la de la joven Anna Landvik, una cantante desconocida que vivió en el país escandinavo cien años antes y que cantó en la primera representación de Peer Gynt de Ibsen con música de Grieg. Si quieres saber más, incluso sobre mitología griega, las Pléyades, las esferas armilares..., visita la web de Lucinda Riley en español: esp.lucindariley.co.uk. También encontrarás documentación sobre Peer Gynt de Grieg, Henrik Ibsen, el Conservatorio Leipzig, la Orquesta Filarmónica de Bergen y Fastnet Race. La crítica ha dicho... «La serie 'Las Siete Hermanas' es romántica, arrolladora, lujosa y glamurosa.» The Daily Mail «La segunda entrega de la emocionante serie de Lucinda Riley nos entusiasma. El talento de la autora para mezclar la actualidad con el pasado (aquí salta desde el presente hasta el siglo XIX en Noruega) gustará a las lectoras en busca de ficción histórica. Además, las fans de Kristin Hannah, por ejemplo, apreciarán ante todo la historia de amor, de dolor, pero también de profundos lazos familiares.» Booklist «La segunda entrega de la serie sobre siete hermanas adoptadas y educadas en una mansión a orillas de un lago suizo. El misterioso padre y benefactor, Pa Salt, muere de forma repentina y les deja pistas sobre sus orígenes. Una novela que no podrás dejar, con mucho amor y drama.» The Daily Mail En los blogs... «Unas descripciones fantásticas que nos muestran una Noruega real.

Siete hermanas, siete destinos, un padre con un pasado misterioso... Ally D'Aplièse está a punto de competir en una de las más peligrosas regatas de yates del mundo cuando recibe la noticia de que su padre acaba de fallecer. Al reunirse en la mansión familiar en Suiza con sus cinco hermanas descubren que su padre, un misterioso multimillonario conocido cariñosamente como Pa Salt, ha dejado a cada una de ellas una carta con información sobre sus orígenes. Tras leerla Ally decide dejar a un lado tanto el mar como la apasionada relación que acababa de comenzar para seguir una pista que la lleva hasta la nevada Noruega. Allí descubrirá sus raíces y cómo su historia está unida a la de la joven Anna Landvik, una cantante desconocida que vivió en el país escandinavo cien años antes y que cantó en la primera representación de Peer Gynt de Ibsen con música de Grieg. Si quieres saber más, incluso sobre mitología griega, las Pléyades, las esferas armilares..., visita la web de Lucinda Riley en español: esp.lucindariley.co.uk. También encontrarás documentación sobre Peer Gynt de Grieg, Henrik Ibsen, el Conservatorio Leipzig, la Orquesta Filarmónica de Bergen y Fastnet Race. La crítica ha dicho... «La serie 'Las Siete Hermanas' es romántica, arrolladora, lujosa y glamurosa.» The Daily Mail «La segunda entrega de la emocionante serie de Lucinda Riley nos entusiasma. El talento de la autora para mezclar la actualidad con el pasado (aquí salta desde el presente hasta el siglo XIX en Noruega) gustará a las lectoras en busca de ficción histórica. Además, las fans de Kristin Hannah, por ejemplo, apreciarán ante todo la historia de amor, de dolor, pero también de profundos lazos familiares.» Booklist «La segunda entrega de la serie sobre siete hermanas adoptadas y educadas en una mansión a orillas de un lago suizo. El misterioso padre y benefactor, Pa Salt, muere de forma repentina y les deja pistas sobre sus orígenes. Una novela que no podrás dejar, con mucho amor y drama.» The Daily Mail En los blogs... «Unas descripciones fantásticas que nos muestran una Noruega real.

It owes its success to a delicious chocolate recipe, passed down the generations with great solemnity and caution. A caution which is justified: this is a recipe for ecstasy that carries a very bitter aftertaste... Stasia learns it from her Georgian father and takes it north, following her new husband, Simon, to his posting at the center of the Russian Revolution in St. Petersburg. Stasia’s is only the first in a symphony of grand but all too often doomed romances that swirl from sweet to sour in this epic tale of the red century. Tumbling down the years, and across vast expanses of longing and loss, generation after generation of this compelling family hears echoes and sees reflections. A ballet dancer never makes it to Paris and a singer pines for Vienna. Great characters and greater relationships come and go and come again; the world shakes, and shakes some more, and the listener rejoices to have found at last one of those glorious old books in which you can live and learn, be lost and found, and make indelible new friends.

But he feels its effects all around him. He and his older brother Danny are fatherless, and their mother, Bethie, is still grieving for her fighter-pilot husband. Most of all, Grady senses it in his two uncles: young combat veterans determined to step into a fatherhood role for their nephews, even as they struggle with the psychological scars they carry from the war.   When news breaks that a leopard has escaped from the Oklahoma City Zoo, the playthings and imagined fears of Grady’s childhood begin to give way to real-world terrors, most imminently the dangerous jungle cat itself. The Leopard Is Loose is a stunning encapsulation of America in the 1950s, and a moving portrait of a boy’s struggle to find his place in the world.

Title: Daughters of the Dust: A Gullah-Geechee Novel Author: Julie Dash Narrator: Bahni Turpin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 20 minutes Release date: June 22, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Drawing from the magical world of her iconic Sundance award-winning film, Julie Dash’s stand-alone novel tells another rich, historical tale of the Gullah-Geechee people: a multigenerational story about a Brooklyn College anthropology student who finds an unexpected homecoming when she heads to the South Carolina Sea Islands to study her ancestors. Set in the 1920s in the Sea Islands off the Carolina coast where the Gullah-Geechee people have preserved much of their African heritage and language, Daughters of the Dust chronicles the lives of the Peazants, a large, proud family who trace their origins to the Ibo, who were enslaved and brought to the islands more than one hundred years earlier.   Native New Yorker and anthropology student Amelia Peazant has always known about her grandmother and mother’s homeland of Dawtuh Island, though she’s never understood why her family remains there, cut off from modern society. But when an opportunity arises for Amelia to head to the island to study her ancestry for her thesis, she is surprised by what she discovers. From her multigenerational clan she gathers colorful stories, learning about 'the first man and woman,' the slaves who walked across the water back home to Africa, the ways men and women need each other, and the intermingling of African and Native American cultures. The more she learns, the more Amelia comes to treasure her family and their traditions, discovering an especially strong kinship with her fiercely independent cousin, Elizabeth. Eyes opened to an entirely new world, Amelia must decide what’s next for her and find her role in the powerful legacy of her people.   Daughters of the Dust is a vivid novel that blends folktales, history, and anthropology to tell a powerful and emotional story of homecoming, the reclamation of cultural heritage, and the enduring bonds of family.

A la muerte de su padre seis hermanas irán en busca de su origen y lo que descubran les hará comprender que su amor estaba escrito en las estrellas. Maia D'Apliese y sus hermanas regresan a la impresionante mansión familiar donde crecieron al descubrir que su adorado padre, que las adoptó en distintos lugares cuando no eran más que bebés, acaba de fallecer. Cada una recibe un sobre que contiene una prometedora pista sobre su origen. A Maia, la mayor de las hermanas y nuestra protagonista, la suya le lleva a una casa en ruinas en Río de Janeiro. Allí comenzará a recomponer las piezas de su historia. Ochenta años antes, en la Belle Époque de Río de Janeiro, el padre de Izabela Bonifacio aspira a que su hija se case con un aristócrata. Por su lado, el arquitecto Heitor da Silva Costa trabaja en la concepción de una inmensa estatua que se llamará el Cristo Redentor, y su búsqueda del escultor idóneo para llevar a cabo tan ambiciosa obra lo conduce hasta París. Apasionada y deseosa de conocer mundo, Izabela convence a su padre para que la deje acompañarlo a París antes de casarse. Allí, entre el estudio de Paul Landowski y los bulliciosos cafés de Montparnasse, Izabela conocerá al ambicioso y joven escultor Laurent Brouilly, y sabrá desde el primer instante que su vida ha cambiado para siempre.

Title: How to Deceive a Duke Author: Samara Parish Narrator: Christy Woods Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 26 minutes Release date: January 25, 2022 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Fiona McTavish is an engineer, a chemist, a rebel—and no one’s idea of a proper lady. She prefers breeches to ballrooms, but her new invention—matches—will surely turn as many heads. There’s just a little matter of her being arrested for a crime she didn’t commit. And the only person she can turn to for help is the man who broke her heart years ago. Edward Stirling, Duke of Wildeforde, will do anything to restore his family’s name and put his father’s scandalous death behind them. But when Fiona needs his help getting released from prison, he can’t deny her—even though it means she must live with him as a condition of her freedom. With the desire between them rekindling as fast as the gossip about their arrangement is spreading among the ton, Edward will have to choose what matters most to him—his reputation or his heart.

Title: The Master Author: Colm Toibin Narrator: Ralph Cosham Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 35 minutes Release date: May 25, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: “Colm Tóibín’s beautiful, subtle illumination of Henry James’s inner life” (The New York Times) captures the loneliness and hope of a master of psychological subtlety whose forays into intimacy inevitably fail those he tried to love. Beautiful and profoundly moving, The Master tells the story of Henry James, a man born into one of America’s first intellectual families who leaves his country in the late nineteenth century to live in Paris, Rome, Venice, and London among privileged artists and writers. The emotional intensity of Tóibín's portrait of James is riveting. Time and again, James, a master of psychological subtlety in his fiction, proves blind to his own heart and incapable of reconciling his dreams of passion with his own fragility. With stunningly resonant prose, “The Master is unquestionably the work of a first-rate novelist: artful, moving, and very beautiful” (The New York Times Book Review).

Nicky joined the Royal Air Force and Stella spent the year training as a spy for His Majesty's Secret Intelligence Service. She has the languages and the tradecraft down pat, but she still has a way to go when the Earl of Bickford pulls her from her training early. The earl uses his influence to make her a courier, a job well below her skills, but it's not as simple as it seems. The new head of the service isn't convinced of her worth and Stella has to use the opportunity to show him that she and other women can deliver for Britain or she's out on her ear.

Title: The Magnolia Palace: A Novel Author: Fiona Davis Narrator: Karissa Vacker Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 9 minutes Release date: January 25, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.06 of Total 47 Ratings of Narrator: 4.89 of Total 9 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! Fiona Davis, New York Times bestselling author of The Lions of Fifth Avenue, returns with a tantalizing novel about the secrets, betrayal, and murder within one of New York City's most impressive Gilded Age mansions. Eight months since losing her mother in the Spanish flu outbreak of 1919, twenty-one-year-old Lillian Carter's life has completely fallen apart. For the past six years, under the moniker Angelica, Lillian was one of the most sought-after artists' models in New York City, with statues based on her figure gracing landmarks from the Plaza Hotel to the Brooklyn Bridge. But with her mother gone, a grieving Lillian is rudderless and desperate—the work has dried up and a looming scandal has left her entirely without a safe haven. So when she stumbles upon an employment opportunity at the Frick mansion—a building that, ironically, bears her own visage—Lillian jumps at the chance. But the longer she works as a private secretary to the imperious and demanding Helen Frick, the daughter and heiress of industrialist and art patron Henry Clay Frick, the more deeply her life gets intertwined with that of the family—pulling her into a tangled web of romantic trysts, stolen jewels, and family drama that runs so deep, the stakes just may be life or death. Nearly fifty years later, mod English model Veronica Weber has her own chance to make her career—and with it, earn the money she needs to support her family back home—within the walls of the former Frick residence, now converted into one of New York City's most impressive museums. But when she—along with a charming intern/budding art curator named Joshua—is dismissed from the Vogue shoot taking place at the Frick Collection, she chances upon a series of hidden messages in the museum: messages that will lead her and Joshua on a hunt that could not only solve Veronica's financial woes, but could finally reveal the truth behind a decades-old murder in the infamous Frick family.

Meenakshi Reddy Madhavan, though, bravely reimagines the story and the inner life of the fisher-maiden Satyavati before her arrival into the epic, before she changes the future of the Kuru dynasty. Madhavan humanizes Satyavati, and reminds us that the passage through adolescence is in itself a heroic odyssey.' – Karthika Nair ​Who is Satyavati? Truth-teller. Daughter of water. Child of apsara and king. Cursed from birth. Fish-smell girl. Growing up as a girl in the Vedic age is anything but easy – and even harder for the future Queen of Hastinapur, the kingdom of all kingdoms. She must contend with magic islands, difficult sages, calculating foster parents, sexual awakening and loneliness. Even when she is at the threshold of the capital, King Shantanu, smitten though he is with her, already has a crown prince from his marriage with a goddess. Young Satyavati must walk on thorns to reach her destiny in a world ruled by men.

Meenakshi Reddy Madhavan, though, bravely reimagines the story and the inner life of the fisher-maiden Satyavati before her arrival into the epic, before she changes the future of the Kuru dynasty. Madhavan humanizes Satyavati, and reminds us that the passage through adolescence is in itself a heroic odyssey.' – Karthika Nair ​Who is Satyavati? Truth-teller. Daughter of water. Child of apsara and king. Cursed from birth. Fish-smell girl. Growing up as a girl in the Vedic age is anything but easy – and even harder for the future Queen of Hastinapur, the kingdom of all kingdoms. She must contend with magic islands, difficult sages, calculating foster parents, sexual awakening and loneliness. Even when she is at the threshold of the capital, King Shantanu, smitten though he is with her, already has a crown prince from his marriage with a goddess. Young Satyavati must walk on thorns to reach her destiny in a world ruled by men. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/518084 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/518084]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: Address Unknown: A Novel Author: Kathrine Kressmann Taylor Narrator: Rob Shapiro, George Newbern Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 8 minutes Release date: June 29, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: A rediscovered classic and international bestseller that recounts the gripping tale of a friendship destroyed at the hands of Nazi Germany  In this searing novel, Kathrine Kressmann Taylor brings vividly to life the insidious spread of Nazism through a series of letters between Max, a Jewish art dealer in San Francisco, and Martin, his friend and former business partner who has returned to Germany in 1932, just as Hitler is coming to power. Originally published in Story magazine in 1938, Address Unknown became an international sensation. Credited with exposing the dangers of Nazism to American readers early on, it is also a scathing indictment of fascist movements around the world and a harrowing exposé of the power of the pen as a weapon. A powerful and eloquent tale about the consequences of a friendship—and society—poisoned by extremism, Address Unknown remains hauntingly and painfully relevant today.

When beloved aunt Jet Owens hears the sound of the deathwatch beetle, she knows that it is a signal. She has finally discovered the secret to breaking the curse, but time is running out. She has only seven days to live. Unaware of the family’s witchcraft lineage and all it entails, one of the young sisters of the new Owens generation has fallen in love. As the curse strikes once again, her love’s fate hangs in the balance, spurring three generations of Owens to venture back to where it all began and use their gifts to break the spell that has marked all their lives. But doing so threatens to destroy everything the family has fought so hard to protect. How much will they give up for the greatest gift of all?
