Title: Sisters of the Great War Author: Suzanne Feldman Narrator: Lauren Ezzo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 4 minutes Release date: October 26, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Inspired by real women, this powerful novel tells the story of two unconventional American sisters who volunteer at the front during World War I August 1914. While Europe enters a brutal conflict unlike any waged before, the Duncan household in Baltimore, Maryland, is the setting for a different struggle. Ruth and Elise Duncan long to escape the roles that society, and their controlling father, demand they play. Together, the sisters volunteer for the war effort—Ruth as a nurse, Elise as a driver. Stationed at a makeshift hospital in Ypres, Belgium, Ruth soon confronts war’s harshest lesson: not everyone can be saved. Rising above the appalling conditions, she seizes an opportunity to realize her dream to practice medicine as a doctor. Elise, an accomplished mechanic, finds purpose and an unexpected kinship within the all-female Ambulance Corps. Through bombings, heartache and loss, Ruth and Elise cherish an independence rarely granted to women, unaware that their greatest challenges are still to come. Illuminating the critical role women played in the Great War, this is a remarkable story of resilience, sacrifice and the bonds that can never be vanquished.

Title: [Spanish] - Arrebatos carnales 3 Author: Francisco Martín Moreno Narrator: Rod González Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 18 hours 51 minutes Release date: April 29, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: «Con la entrega de Arrebatos carnales III [...] doy por concluida la trilogía que me permitió ver a contraluz la vida amorosa de algunos personajes de la historia patria.» Con esta obra, Francisco Martín Moreno da por concluida su Trilogía Erótica de México, acogida con justificado entusiasmo por el público lector. ¿Por qué oscura razón la historia oficial ha subido a los grandes protagonistas de nuestra historia a enormes columnas de mármol blanco como si se tratara de figuras sacralizadas, santificadas, carentes de la menor pasión carnal? ¿Se trataba de proyectar la imagen impoluta de destacados actores de nuestro pasado o más bien observar su comportamiento en su más exquisita intimidad? El autor, un acucioso investigador de los acontecimientos que definieron nuestra actual realidad, descubrió el fuego, el idilio que consumía a Melchor Ocampo, uno de los padres de la Reforma en el siglo xix; a Díaz Ordaz, el jefe del Ejecutivo que padeció los horrores del movimiento del 68; a Venustiano Carranza, uno de los supuestos inspiradores de la Constitución de 1917; a Felipe Carrillo Puerto, el gran líder henequenero, feroz enemigo de la esclavitud yucateca; sin olvidar la configuración psicológica de un influyente inquisidor del siglo xvii en México.

La Gran Guerra ha terminado y Estados Unidos parece entrar en una nueva era de optimismo y abundancia. Pero para Elsa, considerada demasiado mayor para casarse en una época en la que el matrimonio es la única opción de una mujer, el futuro es incierto. Hasta la noche en que conoce a Rafe Martinelli y decide cambiar la dirección de su vida. Con su reputación arruinada, solo le queda una opción respetable: casarse con un hombre al que apenas conoce. En 1934, el mundo ha cambiado. Millones de personas se han quedado sin trabajo y los granjeros luchan por conservar sus tierras. Las cosechas se pierden por la sequía, las fuentes de agua se secan y el polvo amenaza con enterrarlo todo. Cada día en la granja de los Martinelli es una desesperada batalla por la supervivencia. Y, como tantos otros, Elsa se ve obligada a tomar una agónica decisión: luchar por la tierra que ama o marchar al oeste, a California, en busca de una vida mejor para su familia. *Número 1 en la lista de más vendidos de The New York Times *Número 1 en la lista de más vendidos de USA Today *Número 1 en la lista de más vendidos de The Wall Street Journal *Entre los mejores libros del año para Goodreads *Una de «Las novedades más esperadas de 2021» -Newsweek *Una de «Las 27 novelas de ficción histórica más esperadas de 2021 que te atraparán» -Oprah Magazine *Uno de «Los libros más esperados de 2021» -Parade *Uno de «Los libros de los que hablará todo el mundo en 2021» -PopSugar *Uno de «Los 57 libros más esperados de 2021» -Elle *Uno de «Los 32 grandes libros para comenzar el año» -Refinery29 *Uno de «Los 25 mejores libros que llegarán en 2021» -BookBub *Uno de «Los libros más esperados de 2021» -Frolic Reseñas: «Brutalmente hermosa».

Title: The Patchwork Girls Author: Elaine Everest Narrator: Annie Aldington Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 17 minutes Release date: October 14, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: 1939. After the sudden and tragic loss of her husband, Helen is returning home to her mother’s house in Biggin Hill, Kent – the one place she vowed she’d never go back to again. Alone and not knowing where to turn, Helen finds herself joining the local women’s sewing circle despite being hopeless with a needle and thread. These resourceful women can not only make do and mend clothes, quilts and woolly hats, but their friendship mends something deeper in Helen too. Lizzie is a natural leader, always ready to lend a helping hand or a listening ear. Effie has uprooted her life from London to keep her two little girls away from the bombing raids, and the sewing circle is a welcome distraction from worries about how to keep a roof over their heads and about her husband too, now serving in active duty overseas. When the reason for Helen's husband's death comes to light, her world is turned upside down yet again. The investigating officer on the case, Richard, will leave no stone unturned, but it’s not long before his interest in Helen goes beyond the professional. As she pieces together old fabrics into a beautiful quilt, will Helen patch up the rifts in her own life? The Patchwork Girls by Elaine Everest is a moving story about the ties of friends and family, set during the turbulence of World War II.

Title: The Inheritance Author: Joann Ross Narrator: Ann Marie Gideon Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 26 minutes Release date: September 7, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: “Moving… This engrossing and hopeful story will hold readers from start to finish.”—Publishers Weekly “Family secrets, complex characters and a glorious setting make The Inheritance a rich, compelling read...JoAnn Ross at her best!” —Sherryl Woods, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Sweet Magnolias series With a dramatic wartime love story woven through, JoAnn Ross's long-awaited new novel is a gorgeous generational saga about the rivalry, history and loyalty that bond sisters together When conflict photographer Jackson Swann dies, he leaves behind a conflict of his own making when his three daughters, each born to a different mother, discover that they’re now responsible for the family’s Oregon vineyard—and for a family they didn’t ask for. After a successful career as a child TV star, Tess is, for the first time, suffering from a serious identity crisis, and grieving for the absent father she’s resented all her life. Charlotte, brought up to be a proper Southern wife, gave up her own career to support her husband's political ambitions. On the worst day of her life, she discovers her beloved father has died, she has two sisters she never knew about and her husband has fallen in love with another woman. Natalie, daughter of Jack’s longtime mistress, has always known about her half sisters, and has dreaded the day when Tess and Charlotte find out she’s the daughter their father kept. As the sisters reluctantly gather at the vineyard, they’re soon enchanted by the Swann family matriarch and namesake of Maison de Madeleine wines, whose stories of bravery in WWII France and love for a wounded American soldier will reveal the family legacy they've each inherited and change the course of all their lives.

Title: [Spanish] - Falsa Guerra Author: Carlos Manuel Alvarez Narrator: Sandor Juan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 37 minutes Release date: April 27, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Los personajes de Falsa guerra son náufragos en tierra firme, varados en zona de nadie. Algunos quieren marcharse de Cuba y no pueden, otros se fueron y nunca acabaron de llegar del todo. Viven en una especie de limbo, en un impasse perpetuo entre la realidad y el deseo, entre el pasado y el futuro, entre el país de origen y el de destino, a la espera de una promesa, una confirmación o, simple y llanamente, una tregua. Algo que les siga recordando que la vida es posible. ¿Qué diferencia hay entre un inmigrante, un exiliado y un refugiado? Abocados al caos, a la angustia o al hastío, los desplazados perennes son asediados por un mundo que a cada paso –en ese simulacro de avance hacia el espejismo de la sociedad de consumo– les recuerda que no existe un lugar para ellos. En esta novela coral, los personajes parecen moverse con desparpajo nómada entre Cuba, Estados Unidos, México, Francia o Alemania, si bien todos ellos se hallan paralizados, inmersos en una falsa guerra que se libra en virtud de ninguna verdadera pasión, de ninguna auténtica idea. Estructurada en una narración atomizada que refleja con brillantez la desintegración que representa el desarraigo, y llena de ternura, desencanto y melancolía, Falsa guerra es una novela extraordinaria que confirma a Carlos Manuel Álvarez como una de las voces ineludibles de su generación, un recuento memorable y conmovedor de los pasos perdidos hacia ninguna parte que impone el exilio.

J. Binyon, Independiente El capitán Jack Aubrey zarpa hacia el Mar del Sur de China con un nuevo contrato de vida. Después de su despido de la Royal Navy (una acusación falsa), se ha ganado el restablecimiento a través de sus atrevidas hazañas como corsarado, brillantemente narrado en La carta de Marque. Ahora va a guiar a Stephen Maturin -su amigo, cirujano de la nave y a veces agente de inteligencia- en una misión diplomática para evitar vínculos entre Bonaparte y los príncipes malayos que pondrían en riesgo el transporte marítimo comercial inglés. El viaje de la Diane abarca una gran y satisfactoria diversidad de aventuras. Maturin sube los Mil Pasos del cráter sagrado de los orangutanes; un tifón asesino atrapa a Aubrey y su tripulación tratando de trabajar la Diane fuera de un arrecife; y en la corte bárbara de Pulo Prabang se desarrolla un duelo clásico de agentes de inteligencia: los enviados franceses, bien atrincherados en las buenas gracias del sultán, contra la salvaje astucia de Stephen Maturin.

Maturin sube los Mil Pasos del cráter sagrado de los orangutanes; un tifón asesino atrapa a Aubrey y su tripulación tratando de trabajar la Diane fuera de un arrecife; y en la corte bárbara de Pulo Prabang se desarrolla un duelo clásico de agentes de inteligencia: los enviados franceses, bien atrincherados en las buenas gracias del sultán, contra la salvaje astucia de Stephen Maturin. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/516488 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/516488]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Hadjí Murat Author: Léon Tolstoï Narrator: Martin Untrojb Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 49 minutes Release date: April 27, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: “Hadjí Murat” es una novela histórica escrita de primera mano, ya que Tolstói conoció a algunos de sus protagonistas durante su permanencia en el Cáucaso. La acción transcurre en torno a 1850, bajo el reinado del zar Nicolás I, que se caracterizó por llevar a cabo una política expansionista y de absolutismo represivo. De hecho, el retrato que del zar se hace en la obra nos le describe como un hombre arbitrario, poco justo y demasiado orgulloso. “Hadjí Murat”es la historia de un djiguit, término árabe para designar a un jinete y, por extensión, a un valiente. Es un musulmán del Cáucaso que lucha en contra de las tropas rusas que tratan de dominar Chechenia, Osetia, Daguestán. Un tema que, siglo y medio después, aún colea, como sabemos. Pero nuestro héroe tiene un conflicto con el fiero Shamil, el jefe de las tropas rebeldes, por lo que decide pasarse al bando de los rusos, donde es acogido con gran regocijo.

Title: [Spanish] - El Bosque Author: Nell Leyshon Narrator: Gabriela Garcia Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 56 minutes Release date: April 27, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: 'En una Varsovia ocupada por el ejército alemán, el pequeño Pawel –imaginativo, curioso e impresionable– crece protegido en el ambiente familiar de su hogar, rodeado de mujeres: su abuela materna, su tía Joanna y, sobre todo, su madre Zofia, una mujer dividida entre el amor a su hijo y el pesar por la pérdida de independencia que la maternidad le impone, alejándola de su chelo, de sus añoradas lecturas y, en definitiva, de su yo más íntimo. Para Pawel, ese hogar es su mundo, y está a punto de perderlo. Una noche, su padre, miembro de la resistencia, lleva a casa a un piloto británico herido de gravedad, lo que desencadena una serie de acontecimientos que obligarán a madre e hijo a huir y esconderse en el bosque. Décadas después, Pawel y Zofia viven en Inglaterra. Él, sin embargo, es incapaz de dejar atrás el recuerdo de aquel bosque, en el que durante meses él y su madre sobrevivieron refugiados en un establo. Lejos de lo que le era familiar y en medio de la naturaleza –en ese limbo lleno de calma, belleza y misterio–, por primera vez el niño huidizo y temeroso se atrevió a explorar el mundo que lo rodeaba. El bosque representará para siempre una bisagra entre sus dos existencias, en Polonia e Inglaterra. Una nueva vida que sería casi perfecta si no fuera por los secretos que, al salir a la luz, abren una brecha que lo separa de Zofia... Una novela intimista y conmovedora sobre la siempre especial relación de una madre y un hijo, el descubrimiento de la naturaleza, y sobre la manera en que el arte puede salvar la vida de la gente incluso en las circunstancias existenciales más desesperanzadas, con la que Nell Leyshon regresa al universo emocional de su gran éxito Del color de la leche.'

Title: [Spanish] - La Fragata Surprise Series: #3 of [Spanish Edition] Aubrey/Maturin Author: Patrick O'brian Narrator: Martin Untrojb Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 21 hours 8 minutes Release date: March 9, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: El título no se escoge al azar. La fragata Surprise narra sobre todo la vida en un barco, los lazos de unión, de solidaridad y de amistad que van estableciéndose a bordo de una nave y cómo éstos vínculos hacen que el barco acabe por cobrar vida propia y sea capaz de superar las adversidades más terribles. Las reflexiones sobre las cualidades que debe tener un buen capitán (o cualquier persona que quiera ejercer una autoridad de forma efectiva y eficaz, y al mismo tiempo ser respetado por los subordinados), las observaciones sobre temas tan variados como el dinero, el sexo o el amor y la profundización en los aspectos más humanos de los personajes son algunos de los puntos fuertes de esta novela. Sin embargo, como no podía ser de otra manera, no carece de acción, sino más bien al contario: Durante un viaje a las Indias Orientales, Aubrey deberá enfrentarse a los navíos enviados por Napoleón para aniquilar la flota inglesa que opera en Francia. Y el enfrentamiento no sólo se produce en el mar, también resultará decisiva la información secreta que se pueda conseguir en tierra.

Fontainebleau, 1536. Francis II, dauphin of France, is dead. Poisoned. And the royal court believe Catherine de' Medici to be the murderer. With the heir apparent dead, her husband Henry will now be the next King of France – and her queen – and Catherine's family is known to stop at nothing to consolidate their power. But not yet queen and without an heir of her own, Catherine cannot be sure of securing her family's legacy. To ensure the conception of an heir, she will need to seek help from an unexpected ally: Nostradamus, the reclusive astronomer and purported seer.

Title: Death at Greenway: A Novel Author: Lori Rader-Day Narrator: Moira Quirk Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 10 minutes Release date: October 12, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.5 of Total 2 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: From the award-winning author of The Day I Died and The Lucky One, a captivating suspense novel about nurses during World War II who come to Agatha Christie’s holiday estate to care for evacuated children, but when a body is discovered nearby, the idyllic setting becomes host to a deadly mystery. Bridey Kelly has come to Greenway House—the beloved holiday home of Agatha Christie—in disgrace. A terrible mistake at St. Prisca’s Hospital in London has led to her dismissal as a nurse trainee, and her only chance for redemption is a position in the countryside caring for children evacuated to safety from the Blitz. Greenway is a beautiful home full of riddles: wondrous curios not to be touched, restrictions on rooms not to be entered, and a generous library, filled with books about murder. The biggest mystery might be the other nurse, Gigi, who is like no one Bridey has ever met. Chasing ten young children through the winding paths of the estate grounds might have soothed Bridey’s anxieties and grief—if Greenway were not situated so near the English Channel and the rising aggressions of the war. When a body washes ashore near the estate, Bridey is horrified to realize this is not a victim of war, but of a brutal killing. As the local villagers look among themselves, Bridey and Gigi discover they each harbor dangerous secrets about what has led them to Greenway. With a mystery writer’s home as their unsettling backdrop, the young women must unravel the truth before their safe haven becomes a place of death . . .

When a body washes ashore near the estate, Bridey is horrified to realize this is not a victim of war, but of a brutal killing. As the local villagers look among themselves, Bridey and Gigi discover they each harbor dangerous secrets about what has led them to Greenway. With a mystery writer’s home as their unsettling backdrop, the young women must unravel the truth before their safe haven becomes a place of death . . . https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/514977 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/514977]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Among New York City's Gilded Age elite, one family will defy convention. Helen Wilcox has one desire: to successfully launch her daughters into society. From the upper crust herself, Helen's unconventional--if happy--marriage has made the girls' social position precarious. Then her husband gambles the family fortunes on an elevated railroad that he claims will transform the face of the city and the way the people of New York live, but will it ruin the Wilcoxes first? As daughters Jemima and Alice navigate the rise and fall of their family--each is forced to re-examine who she is, and even who she is meant to love. From the author of To Marry an English Lord, an inspiration for Downton Abbey, comes a charming and cutthroat tale of a world in which an invitation or an avoided glance can be the difference between fortune and ruin.

Title: The Emigrants Series: #1 of Emigrant Novels Author: Vilhelm Moberg Narrator: Ann Marie Arvdal Richardson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 17 hours 16 minutes Release date: September 14, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Considered one of Sweden's greatest 20th-century writers, Vilhelm Moberg created Karl Oskar and Kristina Nilsson to portray the joys and tragedies of daily life for early Swedish pioneers in America. His consistently faithful depiction of these humble people's lives is a major strength of the Emigrant Novels. Moberg's extensive research in the papers of Swedish emigrants in archival collections, including the Minnesota Historical Society, enabled him to incorporate many details of pioneer life. First published between 1949 and 1959 in Swedish, these four books were considered a single work by Moberg, who intended that they be read as documentary novels. These editions contain introductions written by Roger McKnight, Gustavus Adolphus College. Book 1 introduces Karl Oskar and Kristina Nilsson, their three young children, and eleven others who make up a resolute party of Swedes fleeing the poverty, religious persecution, and social oppression of Småland in 1850.

Title: To Paradise: A Novel Author: Hanya Yanagihara Narrator: Kurt Kanazawa, Catherine Ho, Bd Wong, Edoardo Ballerini, Feodor Chin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 28 hours 47 minutes Release date: January 11, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.38 of Total 13 Ratings of Narrator: 4.17 of Total 6 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • From the award-winning, best-selling author of the classic A Little Life—a bold, brilliant novel spanning three centuries and three different versions of the American experiment, about lovers, family, loss and the elusive promise of utopia. A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: VOGUE • ESQUIRE • NPR • GOODREADS To Paradise is a fin de siècle novel of marvelous literary effect, but above all it is a work of emotional genius. The great power of this remarkable novel is driven by Yanagihara’s understanding of the aching desire to protect those we love—partners, lovers, children, friends, family, and even our fellow citizens—and the pain that ensues when we cannot. In an alternate version of 1893 America, New York is part of the Free States, where people may live and love whomever they please (or so it seems). The fragile young scion of a distinguished family resists betrothal to a worthy suitor, drawn to a charming music teacher of no means. In a 1993 Manhattan besieged by the AIDS epidemic, a young Hawaiian man lives with his much older, wealthier partner, hiding his troubled childhood and the fate of his father. And in 2093, in a world riven by plagues and governed by totalitarian rule, a powerful scientist’s damaged granddaughter tries to navigate life without him—and solve the mystery of her husband’s disappearances. These three sections comprise an ingenious symphony, as recurring notes and themes deepen and enrich one another: A townhouse in Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village; illness, and treatments that come at a terrible cost; wealth and squalor; the weak and the strong; race; the definition of family, and of nationhood; the dangerous righteousness of the powerful, and of revolutionaries; the longing to find a place in an earthly paradise, and the gradual realization that it can’t exist. What unites not just the characters, but these Americas, are their reckonings with the qualities that make us human: Fear. Love. Shame. Need. Loneliness.

Title: The Bride of Almond Tree Author: Robert Hillman Narrator: Casey Withoos Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 22 minutes Release date: July 1, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: From the author of the bestselling The Bookshop of the Broken Hearted. World War II is over and Hiroshima lies in a heap of poisoned rubble when young Quaker Wesley Cunningham returns home to Almond Tree. He served as a stretcher-bearer; he's seen his fair share of horror. Now he intends to build beautiful houses and to marry, having fallen in love with his neighbour's daughter Beth Hardy. Beth has other plans. An ardent socialist, she is convinced the Party and Stalin's Soviet Union hold the answers to all the world's evils. She doesn't believe in marriage, and in any case her devotion is to the cause. Beth's ideals will exact a ruinously high price. But Wes will not stop loving her. This is the story of their journey through the catastrophic mid-twentieth century — from summer in Almond Tree to Moscow's bitter winter and back again — to find a way of being together. ‘Robert Hillman entwines, with risk and skill, different and seemingly incompatible stories…He adds heft to the distinguished fiction of rural Australia.' Australian on The Bookshop of the Broken Hearted ‘Hillman's ability to conjure up the rhythms and texture of rural life is a source of joy…This is a novel about the importance of freedom as well as the redemptive qualities of love – and how facing up to the past can be the key to both freedom and love.'

Title: Kyiv Series: #6 of Wars Within Author: Graham Hurley Narrator: Andrew Cullum Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 19 minutes Release date: July 8, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: 'A searing portrait of the Nazi elite as the war turns against them. Raw, shocking and meticulously researched' TIM SEBASTIAN A blockbuster thriller set against one of the most horrific scenes in the Second World War. On Sunday 22nd June, 1941, at 03.05, three and a half million Axis troops burst into the Soviet Union along a 1,800 mile front to launch Operation Barbarossa. The southern thrust of the attack was aimed at the Caucuses and the oil fields beyond. Kyiv was the biggest city to stand in their way. Within six weeks, the city was under siege. Surrounded by Panzers, bombed and shelled day and night, Soviet Commissar Nikita Krushchev was amongst the senior Soviet officials co-ordinating the defence. Amid his cadre of trusted personnel is British defector Bella Menzies, once with MI5, now with the NKVD. With the fall of the city inevitable, the Soviets plan a bloody war of terror that will extort a higher toll on the city's inhabitants than the invaders. As the noose tightens, Bella finds herself trapped, hunted by both the Russians and the Germans. As the local saying has it: life is dangerous – no one survives it. “Historical fiction of a high order.” THE TIMES 2021 Head of Zeus Graham Hurley Thu, 08 Jul 2021 02:50:23 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/513580 thebookvoice.com 11:19:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/513580]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Spanning continents and generations, Peach Blossom Spring is a bold and moving look at the history of modern China, told through the story of one family. It’s about the power of our past, the hope for a better future, and the haunting question: What would it mean to finally be home?

Everyone would agree, however, that when the laird makes a promise, nothing can stop him. Which is why everyone knows Isobel MacKinnon will end up his wife.   Isobel spent most of her childhood in love with the tall, dark, and sexy Scot. It wasn't until she was fifteen and failed to entice Kerr into kissing her that things turned sour. Now, Kerr is the one trying to entice her, but Isobel won't be swayed … no matter how tempting he might be.   Then Kerr discovers she may be eloping with someone else, and he has a choice to make—is this Highlander's fate to steal her away himself, to a place where both love and danger lurk, or let her go and face losing her forever?

In Moon and the Mars, set in the impoverished Five Points district of New York City in the years 1857–1863, we experience neighborhood life through the eyes of Theo from childhood to adolescence, an orphan living between the homes of her Black and Irish grandparents.

Barnum's sensationalist museum to the draft riots that tear NYC asunder, amidst the daily maelstrom of Five Points work, hardship, and camaraderie.

Title: The Brightest Star in Paris: A Novel Author: Diana Biller Narrator: Carlotta Brentan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 38 minutes Release date: October 12, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Diana Biller’s The Brightest Star in Paris is a novel about first loves...and second chances. Amelie St. James, prima ballerina of the Paris Opera Ballet and sweetheart of Paris, is a fraud. Seven years ago, in the devastating aftermath of the Siege of Paris, she made a decision to protect her sister: she became the bland, sweet, pious “St. Amie” the ballet needed to restore its scandalous reputation. But when her first love reappears and the ghosts of her past come back to haunt her, all her hard-fought safety is threatened. Dr. Benedict Moore has never forgotten the girl who helped him embrace life again after he almost lost his. Now, years later, he’s back in Paris. His goals are to recruit promising new scientists, and maybe to see Amelie again. When he discovers she’s in trouble, he’s desperate to help her—after all, he owes her. When she finally agrees to let him help, they disguise their time together with a fake courtship. But reigniting old feelings is dangerous, especially when their lives are an ocean apart. Will they be able to make it out with their hearts intact?

Title: [Spanish] - Un día de cólera Author: Arturo Pérez-Reverte Narrator: Eugenio Barona Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 38 minutes Release date: April 29, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Dos de Mayo de 1808, Arturo Pérez-Reverte devuelve a la vida a los protagonistas de la jornada que cambió el destino de España. Este relato no es ficción ni libro de Historia. Tampoco tiene un protagonista concreto, pues fueron innumerables los hombres y mujeres envueltos en los sucesos del 2 de mayo de 1808 en Madrid. Héroes y cobardes, víctimas y verdugos, la Historia retuvo los nombres de buena parte de ellos: las relaciones de muertos y heridos, los informes militares, las memorias escritas por actores principales o secundarios de la tragedia, aportan datos rigurosos para el historiador y ponen límites a la imaginación del novelista. Cuantas personas y lugares aparecen aquí son auténticos, así como los sucesos narrados y muchas de las palabras que se pronuncian. En Un día de cólera, Arturo Pérez-Reverte convierte en historia colectiva las pequeñas y oscuras historias particulares registradas en archivos y libros. Lo imaginado, por tanto, se reduce a la argamasa narrativa que une las piezas. Con las licencias mínimas que la palabra novela justifica, estas páginas pretenden devolver la vida a quienes durante doscientos años solo han sido personajes anónimos en grabados y lienzos contemporáneos, o escueta relación de nombres en los documentos oficiales. La crítica ha dicho... «Arturo Pérez-Reverte revive de manera impresionante en Un día de cólera la feroz jornada del Dos de Mayo de 1808 en Madrid, devolviéndola a la calle con toda su sangre y salvajismo y con tono documental.» Jacinto Antón, El País «El talento de Arturo Pérez-Reverte se demuestra en su capacidad para el primer plano, para revelar lo particular, lo individual, en el gran panorama histórico. Identifica a sus criaturas, las llama por su nombre, las vivifica, y el gesto de héroes y heroínas resalta épicamente en la hazaña colectiva como un signo del valor de su pueblo.» Justo Navarro, El País Arturo Pérez-Reverte Thu, 29 Apr 2021 02:50:23 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/511700 thebookvoice.com 10:38:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/511700]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [German] - Das Boot U 188: Der Bericht des Matrosen Anton Staller Author: Klaus Willmann Narrator: Horst Rankl Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 48 minutes Release date: January 20, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Von Hunderten deutscher U-Boote, die im Zweiten Weltkrieg im Einsatz waren, sind nur wenige zurückgekehrt. Als Grundlage für diesen Zeitzeugenbericht dienten Klaus Willmann die Erinnerungen eines Besatzungsmitgliedes und das Kriegstagebuch von U 188. Die Mannschaft des U-Boots bestritt einen gefährlichen und strapaziösen Weg von Frankreich bis Malaysia. Der sehr persönliche Bericht des Matrosen Anton Staller lässt nicht nur den Alltag auf dem Boot mit seiner bedrückenden Enge, der ständigen Bedrohung durch Wasserbomben- und Fliegerangriffe plastisch werden. Er beschreibt auch die Gedanken und Gefühle der Soldaten auf See: Den ewigen Widerspruch zwischen Pflichtbewusstsein und Zweifeln, das Wissen um die zerstörerischen Folgen des eigenen Tuns und schließlich die Erkenntnis, für eine sinn- und aussichtslose Sache in tödliche Abenteuer gehetzt zu werden.

Lindisfarne, AD793. There had been portents – famine, whirlwinds, lightning from clear skies, serpents seen flying through the air. But when the raiders came, no one was prepared. They came from the North, their dragon-prowed longships gliding out of the dawn mist as they descended on the kingdom's most sacred site. It is 8th June AD 793, and with the pillage of the monastery on Lindisfarne, the Viking Age has begun. While his fellow monks flee before the Norse onslaught, one young novice stands his ground. He has been taught to turn the other cheek, but faced with the slaughter of his brothers and the pagan desecration of his church, forgiveness is impossible. “Harffy's writing just gets better and better ...

'Let there be no more of this clucking and wheedling. Oh Pa, are you sure? Or: Oh Francis, is this really a good idea? Let me be clear. I am always sure, and it is always a good idea.' An old man is sleeping fitfully. It's too hot. The air is thick with Spanish Jasmine floating in from his overgrown garden. And he's not sure whether he'll be woken by General Franco sitting on the end of his bed. It's 1975 and Francis McNulty is nearing the end of his life but feeling far from peaceful. A veteran of the Spanish Civil War, he is tormented by grief and guilt about a brief, terrible act of betrayal from that time; and he's started seeing his old nemesis on the street, in the garden and now in his bedroom. Neither he nor his daughter Gillian, who lives with him in Cleaver square, know what to do. When Gillian announces her impending marriage to a senior civil servant, Francis realises that he must adapt to new circumstances - and that the time has come to confront his past once and for all. 'This is a wonderful, thrilling novel . . . in Last Days in Cleaver Square McGrath has broken through to new depths of insight and emotion.'

Title: Antoinette's Sister Author: Diana Giovinazzo Narrator: Marisa Calin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 43 minutes Release date: January 11, 2022 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: As Marie Antoinette took her last breath as Queen of France in Paris, another formidable monarch—Antoinette’s dearly beloved sister, Charlotte—was hundreds of miles away, in Naples, fighting desperately to secure her release from the revolutionaries who would take her life. Little did Charlotte know, however, that her sister’s execution would change the course of history—and bring about the end of her own empire.   “You are the queen. You are the queen that Antoinette wanted to be.”   Austria 1767: Maria Carolina Charlotte—tenth daughter and one of sixteen children of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria—knows her position as a Habsburg archduchess will inevitably force her to leave her home, her family, and her cherished sister, Antoinette, whose companionship she values over all else. But not yet. The Habsburg family is celebrating a great triumph: Charlotte’s older sister, Josepha, has been promised to King Ferdinand IV of Naples and will soon take her place as queen. Before she can journey to her new home, however, tragedy strikes. After visiting the family crypt, Josepha contracts smallpox and dies. Shocked, Charlotte is forced to face an unthinkable new reality: she must now marry Ferdinand in her sister’s stead.   Bereft and alone, Charlotte finds that her life in Naples is more complicated than she could ever have imagined. Ferdinand is weak and feckless, and a disastrous wedding night plunges her into despair. Her husband’s regent, Tanucci, a controlling and power-hungry man, has pushed the country to the brink of ruin. Overwhelmed, she asks her brother Leopold, now the Holy Roman Emperor, to send help—which he does in the form of John Acton, a handsome military man twenty years Charlotte’s senior who is tasked with overseeing the Navy. Now, Charlotte must gather the strength to do what her mother did before her: take control of a country.   In a time of political uprisings and royal executions and with the increasingly desperate crisis her favorite sister, Queen Marie Antoinette, is facing in France, how is a young monarch to keep hold of everything—and everyone—she loves? Find out in this sweeping, luxurious tale of family, court intrigue, and power.

Title: The King of Warsaw: A Novel Author: Szczepan Twardoch Narrator: Stefan Rudnicki Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 57 minutes Release date: April 21, 2020 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Winner of the EBRD Literature Prize awarded by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. A city ignited by hate. A man in thrall to power. The ferociously original award-winning bestseller by Poland’s literary phenomenon—his first to be translated into English. It’s 1937. Poland is about to catch fire. In the boxing ring, Jakub Szapiro commands respect, revered as a hero by the Jewish community. Outside, he instills fear as he muscles through Warsaw as enforcer for a powerful crime lord. Murder and intimidation have their rewards. He revels in luxury, spends lavishly, and indulges in all the pleasures that barbarity offers. For a man battling to be king of the underworld, life is good. Especially when it’s a frightening time to be alive. Hitler is rising. Fascism is escalating. As a specter of violence hangs over Poland like a black cloud, its marginalized and vilified Jewish population hopes for a promise of sanctuary in Palestine. Jakub isn’t blind to the changing tide.

Title: Reprieve: A Novel Author: James Han Mattson Narrator: Jd Jackson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 16 minutes Release date: October 5, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 9 Ratings of Narrator: 4.33 of Total 3 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: ''Like Whitehead’s The Intuitionist, Alyssa Cole’s When No One Is Watching or Zakiya Dalila Harris’ The Other Black Girl, Reprieve straddles genres in the best possible way. . . . Sure to spark conversation and debate at book clubs across the land.'' –LOS ANGELES TIMES “An eventual American classic that is unrelenting in its beauty and incisive cultural critique.” – KIESE LAYMON Recommended by New York Times • Los Angeles Times • NPR • Today • Esquire • O Quarterly • Boston Globe • Chicago Tribune • Harper’s Bazaar • Shondaland • Thrillist • The Millions • Crimereads • XTRA • Tor • Literary Hub • and more! A chilling and blisteringly relevant literary novel of social horror centered around a brutal killing that takes place in a full-contact haunted escape room—a provocative exploration of capitalism, hate politics, racial fetishism, and our obsession with fear as entertainment.  On April 27, 1997, four contestants make it to the final cell of the Quigley House, a full-contact haunted escape room in Lincoln, Nebraska, made famous for its monstrosities, booby-traps, and ghoulishly costumed actors. If the group can endure these horrors without shouting the safe word, “reprieve,” they’ll win a substantial cash prize—a startling feat accomplished only by one other group in the house’s long history. But before they can complete the challenge, a man breaks into the cell and kills one of the contestants. Those who were present on that fateful night lend their points of view: Kendra Brown, a teenager who’s been uprooted from her childhood home after the sudden loss of her father; Leonard Grandton, a desperate and impressionable hotel manager caught in a series of toxic entanglements; and Jaidee Charoensuk, a gay international student who came to the United States in a besotted search for his former English teacher. As each character’s journey unfurls and overlaps, deceit and misunderstandings fueled by obsession and prejudice are revealed, forcing all to reckon with the ways in which their beliefs and actions contributed to a horrifying catastrophe. An astonishingly soulful exploration of complicity and masquerade, Reprieve combines the psychological tension of classic horror with searing social criticism to present an unsettling portrait of this tangled American life.

Title: The Collector's Daughter: A Novel of the Discovery of Tutankhamun's Tomb Author: Gill Paul Narrator: Imogen Church Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 32 minutes Release date: September 7, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 2 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Bestselling author Gill Paul returns with a brilliant novel about Lady Evelyn Herbert, the woman who took the very first step into the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, and who lived in the real Downton Abbey, Highclere Castle, and the long after-effects of the Curse of Pharaohs.  Lady Evelyn Herbert was the daughter of the Earl of Carnarvon, brought up in stunning Highclere Castle. Popular and pretty, she seemed destined for a prestigious marriage, but she had other ideas. Instead, she left behind the world of society balls and chaperones to travel to the Egyptian desert, where she hoped to become a lady archaeologist, working alongside her father and Howard Carter in the hunt for an undisturbed tomb. In November 1922, their dreams came true when they discovered the burial place of Tutankhamun, packed full of gold and unimaginable riches, and she was the first person to crawl inside for three thousand years. She called it the “greatest moment” of her life—but soon afterwards everything changed, with a string of tragedies that left her world a darker, sadder place. Newspapers claimed it was “the curse of Tutankhamun,” but Howard Carter said no rational person would entertain such nonsense. Yet fifty years later, when an Egyptian academic came asking questions about what really happened in the tomb, it unleashed a new chain of events that seemed to threaten the happiness Eve had finally found.

Title: Give My Love to the Savages: Stories Author: Chris Stuck Narrator: Korey Jackson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 22 minutes Release date: July 6, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: A provocative and raw debut collection of short fiction reminiscent of Junot Diaz’s Drown. A Black man’s life, told in scenes—through every time he’s been called nigger. A Black son who visits his estranged white father in Los Angeles just as the ’92 riots begin. A Black Republican, coping with a skin disease that has turned him white, is forced to reconsider his life. A young Black man, fetishized by an older white woman he’s just met, is offered a strange and tempting proposal.  The nine tales in Give My Love to the Savages illuminate the multifaceted Black experience, exploring the thorny intersections of race, identity, and Black life through an extraordinary cast of characters. From the absurd to the starkly realistic, these stories take aim at the ironies and contradictions of the American racial experience. Chris Stuck traverses the dividing lines, and attempts to create meaning from them in unique and unusual ways. Each story considers a marker of our current culture, from uprisings and sly and not-so-sly racism, to Black fetishization and conservatism, to the obstacles placed in front of Black masculinity and Black and interracial relationships by society and circumstance. Setting these stories across America, from Los Angeles, Phoenix and the Pacific Northwest, to New York and Washington, DC, to the suburbs and small Midwestern towns, Stuck uses place to expose the absurdity of race and the odd ways that Black people and white people converge and retreat, rub against and bump into one another. Ultimately, Give My Love to the Savages is the story of America. With biting humor and careful honesty, Stuck riffs on the dichotomy of love and barbarity—the yin and yang of racial experience—and the difficult and uncertain terrain Black Americans must navigate in pursuit of their desires.

London 1859. Carina Temple has put away the stifling black crepe demanded by the death of her father – but with it she has also cast aside society’s expectations of what a single young lady should be and do. When Carina’s uncle summons her to Belgrave Square to inform her that her reputation is ruined, thanks to a certain Lord Danby, he tells her that she must travel to Italy until the gossip recedes and a suitable match can be found for her. But Italy is a tempestuous place – her grandmother and cousins soon tell her of the fault lines between the states and the dangerous rebels fighting for freedom. Chief among these is Ben Mavrone – and when he and Carina meet, he distrusts her society pedigree, and she considers him a violent extremist. When trouble comes to Carina’s door, it is Ben who saves her – reluctantly – and as they go on the run, they must learn to understand each other to stay alive. Meanwhile back in England, Carina’s family has plans for the life Miss Temple should lead – if she ever returns… Lady Cecil Cameron Thu, 11 Nov 2021 02:50:23 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/509115 thebookvoice.com 12:21:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/509115]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Absolutely loved it and it kept me guessing until the very end! Very highly recommended’ Reader review⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ * * * London, 1936 Lena Aldridge is wondering if life has passed her by. The dazzling theatre career she hoped for hasn’t worked out. Instead, she’s stuck singing in a sticky-floored basement club in Soho and her married lover has just left her. She has nothing to look forward to until a stranger offers her the chance of a lifetime: a starring role on Broadway and a first-class ticket on the Queen Mary bound for New York. After a murder at the club, the timing couldn’t be better and Lena jumps at the chance to escape England. Until death follows her onto the ship and she realises that her greatest performance has already begun. Because someone is making manoeuvres behind the scenes, and there’s only one thing on their mind… MURDER Miss Aldridge Regrets is the exquisite new novel from Louise Hare. A brilliant murder mystery, it also explores class, race and pre-WWII politics, and will leave readers reeling from the beauty and power of it. * * * Praise for Louise Hare ‘Charming characters, a cross-Atlantic setting, jazz, cocktails, sex and a brilliant murder mystery.

Title: Highway Blue Author: Ailsa Mcfarlane Narrator: Maria T Creasey Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 14 minutes Release date: May 6, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Featured in the Observer 10 BEST DEBUTS OF 2021. A hypnotic story of young love on the run. Anne Marie is adrift San Padua, living a precarious life of shift-work and shared apartments. Her husband Cal left her on their first anniversary and two years later, she can't move on. When he shows up suddenly on her doorstep, clearly in some kind of trouble, she reluctantly agrees to a drink. But later that night a gun goes off in an alley near the shore and the young couple flee together, crammed into a beat up car with their broken past. Their ill-at-ease odyssey takes them across a shimmering American landscape and through the darker seams of the country, towards a city that may or may not represent salvation. Highway Blue is a story of being lost and found; of love, in all its forms; and of how the pursuit of love is, in its turn, a kind of redemption. In front of me the long length of the road wound out, wound out and wound on under hot sky. And I drove... 'I loved Highway Blue - a dark, glimmering, journey deep into modern America on a knife edge between love and dependence.'

Desde que Aldous viera por primera vez “La Vocación de San Mateo”, recorre el mundo con el objetivo de contemplar todas las obras de Caravaggio que se conservan.

Title: Descent Into Night Author: Edem Awumey Narrator: Kevin Hanchard Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 25 minutes Release date: April 13, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Winner of the Governor General's Literary Award, Translation, 2018 From Goncourt Prize finalist Edem Awumey, a beautiful and brilliant new novel. With a nod to Samuel Beckett and Bohumil Hrabal, a young dramatist from a West African nation describes a student protest against a brutal oligarchy and its crushing aftermath. While distributing leaflets with provocative quotations from Beckett, Ito Baraka is taken to a camp where torture, starvation, beatings, and rape are normal. Forced to inform on his friends, whose fates he now fears, and released a broken man, he is enabled to escape to Quebec. His one goal is to tell the story of the protest and pay homage to Koli Lem, a teacher, cellmate, and lover of books, who was blinded by being forced to look at the sun-and is surely a symbol of the nation. Edem Awumey gives us a darkly moving and terrifying novel about fear and play, repression and protest, and the indomitable nature of creativity.

When it’s announced that 1958 will be the last year debutantes are to be presented at court, thousands of eager mothers and hopeful daughters flood the palace with letters seeking the year’s most coveted invitation: a chance for their daughters to curtsy to the young Queen Elizabeth and officially come out into society. In an effort to appease her traditional mother, aspiring university student Lily Nichols agrees to become a debutante and do the Season, a glittering and grueling string of countless balls and cocktail parties. In doing so, she befriends two very different women: the cool and aloof Leana Hartford whose apparent perfection hides a darker side and the ambitious Katherine Norman who dreams of a career once she helps her parents find their place among the elite. But the glorious effervescence of the Season evaporates once Lily learns a devastating secret that threatens to destroy her entire family. “Woven with heartfelt emotion, this novel is a captivating, unforgettable story of one woman’s journey to find love, truth, and, most importantly, herself” (Kelly Bowen, author of The Paris Apartment) in midcentury Great Britain.

As she travels through Waltham Forest, Queen Elizabeth I is ambushed by masked gunmen who leave her carriage riddled with holes before disappearing into the night. Knowing that the perpetrators have the Queen’s carriage route, her Private Secretary, Sir Francis Walsingham, must find the mystery assailants before they can strike again. While Queen Elizabeth’s Privy Council debates how to best secure the throne in the wake of the attack and Catholic Spain’s further intrusion into the Low Countries, the queen herself searches for the ultimate weapon to protect her country and throne: Greek fire, the recipe of which disappeared with the collapse of the Byzantine Empire.

For he understands that in a world fraught with coded messages, ruthless adversaries, and deadly plot, his mission to secure his nation’s future may prove impossible, unless he deploys the most effective weapon of all: intelligence.

Title: The Vixen: A Novel Author: Francine Prose Narrator: Tristan Morris Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 19 minutes Release date: June 29, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 2 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Named one of the best books of 2021 by NPR, The Washington Post, and Financial Times “No one states problems more correctly, more astutely, more amusingly and more uncomfortably than Francine Prose . . . The gift of her work to a reader is to create for us what she creates for her protagonist: the subtle unfolding, the moment-by-moment process of discovery as we read and change, from not knowing and even not wanting to know or care, to seeing what we had not seen and finding our way to the light of the ending.”—Amy Bloom, New York Times Book Review ''Depending on the light, it’s either a very funny serious story or a very serious funny story. But no matter how you turn it, The Vixen offers an illuminating reflection on the slippery nature of truth in America, then and now.''—Washington Post Critically acclaimed, bestselling author Francine Prose returns with a dazzling new novel set in the glamorous world of 1950s New York publishing, the story of a young man tasked with editing a steamy bodice-ripper based on the recent trial and execution of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg—an assignment that will reveal the true cost of entering that seductive, dangerous new world.  It’s 1953, and Simon Putnam, a recent Harvard graduate newly hired by a distinguished New York publishing firm, has entered a glittering world of three-martini lunches, exclusive literary parties, and old-money aristocrats in exquisitely tailored suits, a far cry from his loving, middle-class Jewish family in Coney Island. But Simon’s first assignment—editing The Vixen, the Patriot and the Fanatic, a lurid bodice-ripper improbably based on the recent trial and execution of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, a potboiler intended to shore up the firm’s failing finances—makes him question the cost of admission. Because Simon has a secret that, at the height of the Red Scare and the McCarthy hearings, he cannot reveal: his beloved mother was a childhood friend of Ethel Rosenberg’s. His parents mourn Ethel’s death. Simon’s dilemma grows thornier when he meets The Vixen’s author, the startlingly beautiful, reckless, seductive Anya Partridge, ensconced in her opium-scented boudoir in a luxury Hudson River mental asylum. As mysteries deepen, as the confluence of sex, money, politics and power spirals out of Simon’s control, he must face what he’s lost by exchanging the loving safety of his middle-class Jewish parents’ Coney Island apartment for the witty, whiskey-soaked orbit of his charismatic boss, the legendary Warren Landry. Gradually Simon realizes that the people around him are not what they seem, that everyone is keeping secrets, that ordinary events may conceal a diabolical plot—and that these crises may steer him toward a brighter future.  At once domestic and political, contemporary and historic, funny and heartbreaking, enlivened by surprising plot turns and passages from Anya’s hilariously bad novel, The Vixen illuminates a period of history with eerily striking similarities to the current moment. Meanwhile it asks timeless questions: How do we balance ambition and conscience? What do social mobility and cultural assimilation require us to sacrifice? How do we develop an authentic self, discover a vocation, and learn to live with the mysteries of love, family, art, life and loss?

Title: The Bishop's Man Author: Linden Macintyre Narrator: Graham Rowat Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 45 minutes Release date: August 10, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Something about the boat, perhaps its name, and the posture of that boy caused me to defer my anxieties for the moment. It was so rare to see someone that age stationary, somber. I was more accustomed to a rowdy adolescent enthusiasm. This young man, I realized, was exceptional only because of time and place. Maybe any one of them in those circumstances would have been the same. Quiet. But he caught my attention nevertheless and linked the moment to tender places in the memory. Doomed boys and men: in retrospect they all have that stillness. --from The Bishop’s Man by Linden MacIntyre   The year is 1993 and Father Duncan MacAskill stands at a small Cape Breton fishing harbour a few miles from where he grew up. Enjoying the timeless sight of a father and son piloting a boat, Duncan takes a moment’s rest from his worries. But he does not yet know that his already strained faith is about to be tested by his interactions with a troubled boy, 18-year-old Danny MacKay.   Known to fellow priests as the “Exorcist” because of his special role as clean-up man for the Bishop of Antigonish, Duncan has a talent for coolly reassigning deviant priests while ensuring minimal fuss from victims and their families. It has been a lonely vocation, but Duncan is generally satisfied that his work is a necessary defense of the church. All this changes when lawyers and a policeman snoop too close for the bishop’s comfort. Duncan is assigned a parish in the remote Cape Breton community of Creignish and told to wait it out.   This is not the first time Duncan has been sent away for knowing too much: decades ago, the displeased bishop sent a more idealistic Duncan to Honduras for voicing suspicions about a revered priest. It was there that Duncan first tasted forbidden love, with the beautiful Jacinta. It was also there that he met the courageous Father Alfonso, who taught him more about spiritual devotion than he had ever known back home. But when an act of violence in Honduras shook Duncan to his core, he returned home a changed man, willing to quietly execute the bishop’s commands.   Now, decades later in Cape Breton, Duncan claims to his concerned sister Effie that isolation is his preference. But when several women seek to befriend him, along with some long-estranged friends, Duncan is alternately tempted and unnerved by their attentions. Drink becomes his only solace.   Attempting to distract himself with parish work, Duncan takes an interest in troubled young Danny, whose good-hearted father sells Duncan a boat he names The Jacinta. To Duncan’s alarm, he discovers that the boy once spent time with an errant priest who had been dispatched by Duncan himself to Port Hood. Duncan begins to ask questions, dreading the answers. When tragedy strikes, he knows that he must act. But will his actions be those of a good priest, or an all too flawed man?   Winner of the 2009 Scotiabank Giller Prize, Linden MacIntyre’s searing The Bishop’s Man is an unforgettable and complex character study of a deeply conflicted man at the precipice of his life. Can we ever be certain of an individual’s guilt or innocence? Is violence ever justified? Can any act of contrition redeem our own complicity?

Title: The Sea Captain's Wife Author: Beth Powning Narrator: Shalyn Bass-Mcfaul Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 29 minutes Release date: May 25, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Growing up on the Bay of Fundy, Azuba Galloway dreams of going to sea. She watches magnificent ships slowly making their way into Whelan’s Cove, the sense of exoticism bursting from their holds along with foreign goods.   As a young woman, Azuba marries a seasoned merchant sea captain, Nathaniel Bradstock. Unwilling to have him away at sea for most of their married life, and anxious to see far shores, she extracts a promise that he will take her with him. But Azuba becomes pregnant soon after they marry and Nathaniel knows too well the perils of life on a ship. He reneges on his promise and refuses to allow Azuba to join him.   When Nathaniel leaves on his journey, Azuba desperately misses her husband. Days turn into weeks and months – voyages can take two, three years before the ship and crew return home. Despite her loneliness, Azuba becomes a strong, independent woman, caring for her child and her home. With her parents and beloved grandmother nearby, she settles into a life of quietude and predictability, all the while yearning to be by her husband’s side aboard his ship.   Her loneliness eventually propels her into a friendship with the local vicar, Reverend Simon Walton. He is a quiet, kind and contemplative man, and Azuba takes comfort and enjoyment in their increasingly intimate friendship. One afternoon, despite her misgivings, Azuba goes on a picnic with the vicar and becomes trapped by the tide. When they return home the next morning, Azuba and Reverend Walton have become a topic of gossip.   When Nathaniel returns home he is enraged by her impropriety. Reluctantly he decides to take Azuba and their young daughter, Carrie, with him on his next voyage. Mother and child are loaded from a rowboat and hauled onto the weather deck along with barrels of coal and crates of chickens. Nathaniel has drawn a line across the deck. “You’ll never again cross that line,” he instructs Azuba. It is October 1862. It will be three years before Azuba sees the shores of Whelan’s Cove again. Aboard Traveller, the small family visits places Azuba dreamed she would one day see: London, San Francisco and exotic countries in Europe.   But she also experiences the terror that can come during a life at sea: a harrowing passage around Cape Horn, half-starvation while listlessly floating in the doldrums, and a stop at the Chincha Islands to pick up a load of guano, where she witnesses a mass suicide by slaves. She begins to question her decision to join her husband, particularly when she realizes there is “no way to erase horror from a child’s memory.” Misery follows misfortune and Azuba feels alone in a male world, surrounded by the splendour and the terror of the open sea. The voyage tests not only her already precarious marriage, but everything Azuba believes in.   With a sure hand, Beth Powning captures life aboard a sailing ship – ferocious storms, the impossibly isolated ports of call, the gruelling daily routine – and shows how love evolves even in the most extreme circumstances.   The Sea Captain’s Wife is an awe-inspiring tour that captures the vigour of life in the last days of the Age of Sail and gives us an unforgettable young heroine who shows compassion, courage and love while under incredible duress.

Title: Probably Ruby: A Novel Author: Lisa Bird-Wilson Narrator: Dakota Ray Hebert Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 1 minute Release date: August 24, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: For readers of Tommy Orange's There There and Terese Marie Mailhot's Heart Berries, Probably Ruby is an audacious, brave and beautiful book about an adopted woman's search for her Indigenous identity. Relinquished as an infant, Ruby is placed in a foster home and finally adopted by Alice and Mel, a less-than-desirable couple who can't afford to complain too loudly about Ruby's Indigenous roots. But when her new parents' marriage falls apart, Ruby finds herself vulnerable and in compromising situations that lead her to search, in the unlikeliest of places, for her Indigenous identity. Unabashedly self-destructing on alcohol, drugs and bad relationships, Ruby grapples with the meaning of the legacy left to her. In a series of expanding narratives, Ruby and the people connected to her tell their stories and help flesh out Ruby's history. Seeking understanding of how we come to know who we are, Probably Ruby explores how we find and invent ourselves in ways as peculiar and varied as the experiences of Indigenous adoptees themselves. Ruby's voice, her devastating honesty and tremendous laugh, will not soon be forgotten. Probably Ruby is a perfectly crafted novel, with effortless, nearly imperceptible shifts in time and perspective, exquisitely chosen detail, natural dialogue and emotional control that results in breathtaking levels of tension and points of revelation.

But Simon Christie has – a young man who can’t believe his luck when he gets a job cataloguing the infamous art collection of the Mordrake family.

But someone is not pleased that old secrets are stirring. As night falls each evening, and a growing sense of unease roils in the shifting shadows around him, Simon must decide what he can trust and ask if he can believe what he sees in the dusk or if his mind is poisoned by what has happened before in this place between lands, between light and dark.

Title: Squadron Airborne Author: Elleston Trevor Narrator: Andrew Fallaize Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 14 minutes Release date: December 8, 2020 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Squadron Airborne brings alive the actions of fighter pilots, ground staff, and auxiliary personnel at a fictional Spitfire fighter-plane squadron in September 1940. Peter Stuyckes is a nineteen-year-old who has just finished his training as a pilot for England’s Royal Air Force (RAF) when he arrives at an aerodrome called Westhill near the town of Melford, England. There he joins an established squadron already in the thick of the fighting but with a less-than-stunning first flight in front of his new colleagues. Stuyckes doesn’t know it then, but he is to become part of what will be called the Battle of Britain, the first major military campaign fought entirely by air forces. In the midst of casualties and survivors, battle fatigue and botched landings, parachute escapes and pilots shot down during aerial battles, members of the ground crew hasten to repair the Spitfire planes that make it back, proudly tallying their pilots’ strikes. It all takes place along with romantic encounters in between, until the squadron prepares to leave for rest and refit at Lincolnshire, after which a new squadron will take their place. Elleston Trevor, who was himself a member of the RAF, takes the reader into the action of one week during the Battle of Britain in this tense, exciting, and realistic story.

Title: The Pilot's Daughter: A Novel Author: Meredith Jaeger Narrator: Tavia Gilbert, Hillary Huber Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 9 minutes Release date: November 2, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: The glitzy days of 1920s New York meet the devastation of those left behind in World War II in a new, delectable historical novel from USA Today bestselling author Meredith Jaeger. In the final months of World War II, San Francisco newspaper secretary Ellie Morgan should be planning her wedding and subsequent exit from the newsroom into domestic life. Instead, Ellie, who harbors dreams of having her own column, is using all the skills she's learned as a would-be reporter to try to uncover any scrap of evidence that her missing pilot father is still alive. But when she discovers a stack of love letters from a woman who is not her mother in his possessions, her already fragile world goes into a tailspin, and she vows to find out the truth about the father she loves—and the woman who loved him back. When Ellie arrives on her aunt Iris's doorstep, clutching a stack of letters and uttering a name Iris hasn't heard in decades, Iris is terrified. She's hidden her past as a Ziegfeld Follies showgirl from her family, and her experiences in New York City in the 1920s could reveal much more than the origin of her brother-in-law's alleged affair. Iris's heady days in the spotlight weren't enough to outshine the darker underbelly of Jazz Age New York, and she's spent the past twenty years believing that her actions in those days led to murder. Together the two women embark on a cross-country mission to find the truth in the City That Never Sleeps, a journey that just might shatter everything they thought they knew—not only about the past but about their own futures. Inspired by a true Jazz Age murder cold case that captivated the nation, and the fact that more than 72,000 Americans still remain unaccounted for from World War II, The Pilot's Daughter is a page-turning exploration of the stories we tell ourselves and of how well we can truly know those we love.

For in St. Louis an old enemy waits, and the time is ripe for Scratch to settle a ten-year score. Through the desert known as the Journey of Death to the rough-and-tumble town of St. Louis, Scratch and Josiah will defy the wilderness to bury the past—and a blackhearted killer—once and for all. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/505182 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/505182]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: [French] - Mozart & Salieri Author: Alexandre Pouchkine Narrator: Patrick Martinez-Bournat, Frédéric Chevaux Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 15 minutes Release date: April 1, 2022 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Comment réagir à l'apparition d'un jeune dieu comme Mozart quand on est compositeur viennois déjà établi, son aîné, et son maître ? Alexandre Pouchkine met en scène fascination, rancoeur et désespoir dans cette oeuvre de fiction, Mozart et Salieri, écrite en 1830. Le jeune Mozart est détenteur d'un génie inexplicable, hors de proportion avec sa personnalité immature et tête en l'air. Obsédé par ce talent insolent, le compositeur Antonio Salieri décide de défier Dieu et d'empoisonner son rival, afin de protéger les compositeurs futurs d'un art trop vite porté à sa perfection par un homme qui n'est pas digne de son propre génie. Cette pièce torturée est à l'origine d'un mythe tenace ; elle inspira Amadeus, pièce de Peter Schaeffer portée à l'écran par Milos Forman. - - Alexandre Pouchkine Fri, 01 Apr 2022 02:50:23 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/505182 thebookvoice.com 0:15:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/505182]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Northern India, 2009. Four travellers disembark from the Dhauladhar Express at the Pathankot train station, having arrived in Punjab to attend a wedding. Yosh, 30, a yoga teacher from Vancouver; Monica, 30, the bride's cousin from Toronto; Reema, 26, the bride's childhood friend, a mixed-heritage Londoner in search of her Indianness; and Jackson, 86, who is returning to India after a long hiatus in Boston, and who carries with him a small tea canister in which he has placed his wife Amelia's ashes.      As they gather with other guests at the traditional Indian wedding, Jackson and Reema develop a reluctant, unlikely friendship that grows through mutual need and a slowly developing trust, and together with Yosh and Monica, they embark on a post-wedding journey to the Himalayas, seeking the perfect place to scatter Amelia's ashes. As they travel together, secrets are revealed, and each of them is opened up to more questions than answers.     These intergenerational and intercultural relationships are a meeting of the past and the future, a reconciliation of past wrongs and a possibility that the future might be less violent, less selfish, less segregated.

Two daughters. Two families. One inescapable fate. Sofia Colicchio is a free spirit, loud and untamed. Antonia Russo is thoughtful, ever observing the world around her. Best friends since birth, they live in the shadow of their fathers’ unspoken community: the Family. Sunday dinners gather them each week to feast, discuss business, and renew the intoxicating bond borne of blood and love.   But the disappearance of Antonia’s father drives a whisper-thin wedge between the girls as they grow into women, wives, mothers, and leaders.

Title: Rain God Author: Arturo Islas Narrator: Timothy Andrés Pabon Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 19 minutes Release date: May 25, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: ''The Rain God is a lost masterpiece that helped launch a legion of writers. Its return, in times like these, is a plot twist that perhaps only Arturo Islas himself could have conjured. May it win many new readers.'' — Luis Alberto Urrea, bestselling author of The House of Broken Angels and The Hummingbird’s Daughter ''Rivers, rivulets, fountains and waters flow, but never return to their joyful beginnings; anxiously they hasten on to the vast realms of the Rain God.'' A beloved Southwestern classic—as beautiful, subtle and profound as the desert itself—Arturo Islas's The Rain God is a breathtaking masterwork of contemporary literature.  Set in a fictional small town on the Texas-Mexico border, it tells the funny, sad and quietly outrageous saga of the children and grandchildren of Mama Chona the indomitable matriarch of the Angel clan who fled the bullets and blood of the 1911 revolution for a gringo land of promise. In bold creative strokes, Islas paints on unforgettable family portrait of souls haunted by ghosts and madness--sinners torn by loves, lusts and dangerous desires. From gentle hearts plagued by violence and epic delusions to a child who con foretell the coming of rain in the sweet scent of angels, here is a rich and poignant tale of outcasts struggling to live and die with dignity . . . and to hold onto their past while embracing an unsteady future.

Title: Wuhan Author: John Fletcher Narrator: Bruno Roubicek Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 30 hours 23 minutes Release date: July 22, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: A multi-stranded historical epic set in China in 1937, when Wuhan stood alone against a whirlwind of war and violence. Everyone's heard of Wuhan in connection with Covid-19. But 80 years ago it was equally famous as the first place on earth to decisively defeat fascism. In 1937 Japan invaded China, slaughtering 20 million Chinese – mainly civilians. As vast swathes of the country fell to the invaders, Wuhan was appointed wartime capital and symbol of Chinese resistance. China, a medieval society, began a desperately needed reorganisation – transforming itself militarily, educationally, medically and culturally. Their heroic efforts in Wuhan halted the Japanese. Weaving together a multitude of narratives, Wuhan is a historical fiction epic that pulls no punches: the heart-in-mouth story of a peasant family forced onto a thousand-mile refugee death-march; the story of Lao She – China's greatest writer – leaving his family in a war-zone to assist with the propaganda effort in Wuhan; the hellish battlefields of the Sino-Japanese war; the approaching global war seen through a host of colourful characters – from Chiang Kai-Shek, China's nationalist leader, to Peter Fleming, British journalist based in Wuhan and a prototype for his younger brother Ian Fleming's James Bond. 2021 Head of Zeus John Fletcher Thu, 22 Jul 2021 02:50:23 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/504196 thebookvoice.com 30:23:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/504196]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Queen’s Necklace Series: #2 of The Marie Antoinette Romances Author: Alexandre Dumas Narrator: Stefan Rudnicki Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 34 minutes Release date: November 24, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 1 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 1 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: In 1785, a sensational trial began in Paris that would divide the country and captivate Europe. A leading Catholic cardinal and scion of one of the most distinguished families in France stood accused of forging the queen’s signature to obtain the most expensive piece of jewelry in Europe: a 2,800-carat diamond necklace. Known as the Affair of the Diamond Necklace, it contributed to the French populace’s disillusionment with the monarchy and precipitated the French Revolution. The Queen’s Necklace, loosely based on the Affair, is Alexandre Dumas’s take on the royal scandal. Originally serialized in the French newspaper La Presse in 1849–1850 (immediately following the French Revolution of 1848), The Queen’s Necklace is an epic tale of love and courage, hatred and betrayal with a missing diamond necklace, an accused queen, a daring manipulator, love-struck youth, royal revenge, and ecclesiastical machinations all playing out against the backdrop of the rising discontent among the French rabble. It is, in short, a thrilling tale by a master of historical fiction.

Now he returns in another novel of greed, madness, and murder amid the dark shadows and dazzling society of old New Orleans, named a Notable Book of the Year by the New York Times. The summer of 1833 has been one of brazen heat and brutal pestilence, as the city is stalked by Bronze John—the popular name for the deadly yellow fever epidemic that tests the healing skills of doctor and voodoo alike.

When he is asked to pass a message from a runaway slave to the servant of one of his students, January finds himself swept into a tempest of lies, greed, and murder that rivals the storms battering New Orleans. And to find the truth he must risk his freedom—and his very life. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/503966 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/503966]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Dr. B. Author: Daniel Birnbaum Narrator: John Lee Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 57 minutes Release date: May 24, 2022 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: The former director of the Museum of Modern Art in Stockholm makes his literary debut with this dramatic and riveting novel of book publishing, émigrés, spies, and diplomats in World War II Sweden based on his grandfather’s life In 1933, after Hitler and the Nazi Party consolidated power in Germany, Immanuel Birnbaum, a German-Jewish journalist based in Warsaw, is forbidden from writing for newspapers in his homeland. Six years later, just months before the German invasion of Poland that ignites World War II, Immanuel escapes to Sweden with his wife and two young sons. Living as a refugee in Stockholm, Immanuel continues to write, contributing articles to a liberal Swiss newspaper under the name Dr. B. He becomes increasingly entangled with British intelligence agents who plan several acts of sabotage on the orders of Winston Churchill. But when the Swedish postal service picks up a letter written in invisible ink, clearly by Dr. B. himself, the Allied plotters are exposed. But could a Jew living in exile and targeted for death by the Nazis have wanted to tip them off? Illuminated by the wartime experiences of the author’s grandfather, Dr. B. is a riveting story of émigrés, spies and diplomats that shines a light on a forgotten corner of World War II history. ‘A superb thriller, a cross between Tom Stoppard’s Travesties and The Thirty-Nine Steps … You can’t put it down.

Title: A Of Such Is The Kingdom, PART I: Discontent and Insurrection Author: James M Becher Narrator: James M Becher Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 37 minutes Release date: January 20, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Step back into New Testament times--to Ancient Palestine at the time of Christ and of the historical Roman Empire, and ask: What could a cynical, non-conformist dry-goods salesman, a disgruntled blacksmith, and a musing mendicant all have in common? The answer: Down deep, they all seek something better. But will they find the true fulfillment they are seeking? The non-conformist, Manaheem, Herod's foster brother, is hired by Herod to foment an insurrection against Pontius Pilate, whom he distrusts. Manaheem recruits the blacksmith, Barabbas, to be the insurrection leader, to the dismay of Barabbas' Godly but fearful wife (when he finally tells her). The mendicant, an unfortunate but pensive young man named Timotheus, joins with an older beggar completely unsympathetic to his musings. Pontius Pilate sees himself as a weak ruler, but his wife pushes him to be stronger and to even take over Herod's territory. Manaheem re-unites with his former wife, Claressa. In need of more money, he tries to blackmail Herod over his illicit affair With Herodius, his brother?s wife, but, Herod decides to marry Herodius and send his present wife back to her father. John the Baptist preaches to Herod and looses his head. Herod's palace is attacked, and suspecting Pilate, he tells Manaheem go ahead with the mission. Barabbas is successful in forming a group of insurrectionists and they rehearse for the big day. But will the insurrection succeed? . ###WRITING STYLE: The writing style is a unique eclectic style, combining poetry, straight dialogue and 1st person stream-of-consciousness narrative with the 3rd person narration James M Becher Wed, 20 Jan 2021 02:50:23 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/503884 thebookvoice.com 3:37:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/503884]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Anticipation: A Novel Author: Melodie Winawer Narrator: Samantha Desz, Lisa Flanagan, Jacques Roy, Jonathan Davis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 38 minutes Release date: November 2, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: From the author of the “engrossing historical epic” (Booklist) The Scribe of Siena comes a thrilling tale set in the crumbling city of Mystras, Greece, in which a scientist’s vacation with her young son quickly turns into a fight for their lives after they cross paths with a man out of time. After the death of her beloved husband and becoming a single parent to her nine-year-old son Alexander, overworked scientist Helen desperately needs an escape. So when Alexander proposes a trip to Greece—somewhere he's always dreamed of visiting—Helen quickly agrees. After spending several days exploring the tourist-filled streets, they stumble upon the ancient city of Mystras and are instantly drawn to it. Its only resident is Elias, a mysterious tour guide living on the city’s edges…both physically and temporally. In 1237, Elias’s mother promised his eternal service to the Profitis Ilias in Mystras in exchange for surviving a terrible illness. But during his 800 years of labor, he’s had one common enemy: the noble Lusignan family. The Lusignan line is cursed by a deadly disease that worsens with each generation, and a prophecy hints that Elias’s blood is their only hope for a cure. He has managed to survive throughout the centuries, but the line has dwindled down to the last Lusignan and he is desperate to avert his family’s destiny. When Elias runs into Helen, he meets his match for the first time—but he unwittingly puts both her and her young son in danger as a result. With time running out and an enemy after them, Elias and Helen are forced to choose between the city they love, and each other. Blending the historical romance of Diana Gabaldon, the rich detail of Philippa Gregory’s novels, and Dan Brown’s fast-paced suspense, Anticipation is a thrilling and satisfying read like no other.

His mother long gone, his father recently deceased, and the family farm foreclosed upon by the bank, Emmett's intention is to pick up his eight-year-old brother, Billy, and head to California where they can start their lives anew.

At first taken aback by the severity of her new life, Marie finds focus and love in collective life with her singular and mercurial sisters. In this crucible, Marie steadily supplants her desire for family, for her homeland, for the passions of her youth with something new to her: devotion to her sisters, and a conviction in her own divine visions. Marie, born the last in a long line of women warriors and crusaders, is determined to chart a bold new course for the women she now leads and protects. But in a world that is shifting and corroding in frightening ways, one that can never reconcile itself with her existence, will the sheer force of Marie’s vision be bulwark enough? Equally alive to the sacred and the profane, Matrix gathers currents of violence, sensuality, and religious ecstasy in a mesmerizing portrait of consuming passion, aberrant faith, and a woman that history moves both through and around. Lauren Groff’s new novel, her first since Fates and Furies, is a defiant and timely exploration of the raw power of female creativity in a corrupted world.

But his Life of Samuel Johnson made them famous - so now Boswell's out to work his magic on other celebrities. Travelling through the centuries, he gives 12 legendary figures the Boswell treatment, hoping to do for them what he did for Johnson... Series 1 sees him attempting to write a biography of Sigmund Freud (Henry Goodman) - but it's Freud asking all the searching questions. Talking to Maria Callas (Arabella Weir), he gets up close and personal with her poodle; encountering Harold Pinter (Harry Enfield) he receives his very own 'Pinter pause' and, trying to beat Boris Johnson (Alistair McGowan) at whiff-whaff, he finds he's facing a fiendish opponent. In Series 2, Boswell tries to help Muhammad Ali (Lenny Henry), who's been banned from boxing and is in the wilderness. Interviewing Karl Marx (Julian Rhind-Tutt), he finds himself collaborating on Das Kapital, but on meeting Madonna (Debra Stephenson), he struggles to get into the groove. And will he succeed in immortalising Alan Bennett (Alistair McGowan), or will they simply be talking heads? Series 3 finds Boswell buttonholing Lord Byron (Freddie Fox) to find out if he's really mad, bad and dangerous to know; receiving some lessons in equality from Simone de Beauvoir (Amelia Bullmore); becoming involved in a murder mystery with Agatha Christie (Vicki Pepperdine) and attempting to become a better man under the guidance of Gandhi (Phaldut Sharma).

At the end of the 1930s, Europe is engulfed in war. Though America is far from the fighting, the streets of New York have become a battlefield. Anti-Semitic and racist groups spread hate, while German nationalists celebrate Hitler’s strength and power. Josef Klein, a German immigrant, remains immune to the troubles roiling his adopted city. The multicultural neighborhood of Harlem is his world, a lively place full of sidewalk tables where families enjoy their dinner and friends indulge in games of chess.  Josef’s great passion is the radio. His skill and technical abilities attract the attention of influential men who offer him a job as a shortwave operator. But when Josef begins to understand what they’re doing, it’s too late; he’s already a little cog in the big wheel—part of a Nazi espionage network working in Manhattan. Discovered by American authorities, Josef is detained at Ellis Island, and eventually deported to Germany. Back in his homeland, fate leads him to his brother Carl's family, soap merchants in Neuss—where he witnesses the seductive power of the Nazis and the war’s terrible consequences—and finally to South America, where Josef hopes to start over again as José. Eventually, Josef realizes that no matter how far he runs or how hard he tries, there is one indelible truth he cannot escape: How long can you hide from your own past, before it catches up with you?

Title: [Spanish] - El juicio del agua Author: Juan Francisco Ferrándiz Narrator: Pau Ferrer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 22 hours 33 minutes Release date: March 4, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: En una época oscura, marcada por la infamia y la superstición, solo lo más valientes clamarán justicia. Una magistral novela histórica ambientada en la Barcelona del siglo XII en la que Juan Francisco Ferrándiz, autor de La tierra maldita, nos brinda acción, aventuras, traiciones, misterio y amor. En una gélida mañana de 1170, un juicio cruel sella los destinos de dos familias enfrentadas por la avaricia y los usos feudales. Según marca la tradición, los primogénitos de las dos casas, de apenas meses de edad, deben ser sumergidos en agua helada. El que se hunda será el escogido de Dios, y eso dará la razón a su familia. Tras el lastimoso evento, Blanca, la hija del noble Ramón de Corviu, resulta elegida, y Robert de Tramontana, el Condenado, tiene que ver durante años cómo los vencedores se apoderan de todas sus posesiones. Pero, en esos instantes en que ambos lucharon por sobrevivir, nació entre ellos una unión especial e inquebrantable. Y a la vez, en el alma del perdedor germinó el deseo de alcanzar un mundo más justo, alejado de las supersticiones. Años después, el joven Robert abandona sus tierras para dedicarse al estudio de las leyes en Barcelona y en la lejana Bolonia, mientras combate contra el odio y las traiciones de sus enemigos. El hallazgo de un antiguo libro lo convierte en pionero de una gran renovación y no está solo en la lucha; en su corazón viaja siempre el recuerdo de Blanca, la joven con quien compartió el infame juicio del agua.

Title: Comrade Koba: A Novel Author: Robert Littell Narrator: Rachel Jacobs, Andrew Eiden Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 51 minutes Release date: November 10, 2020 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: A tight, captivating story of a naïve child’s encounters with a Soviet dictator, the twentieth novel by Robert Littell After the sudden death of his nuclear physicist father and the arrest of his mother during the Stalinist purge of Jewish doctors, young Leon Rozental—intellectually precocious and possessing a disarming candor—is hiding from the NKVD in the secret rooms of the House on the Embankment, a large building in Moscow where many Soviet officials and apparatchiks live and work. One day after following a passageway, Leon meets Koba, an old man whose apartment is protected by several guards. Koba is a high-ranking Soviet officer with troubling insight into the thoughts and machinations of Comrade Stalin. Through encounters between a naive boy and a paranoid tyrant, Robert Littell creates in Comrade Koba a nuanced portrayal of the Soviet dictator, showing his human side and his simultaneous total disregard for and ignorance of the suffering he inflicted on the Russian people. The charm and spontaneity of young Leon make him an irresistible character—and not unlike Holden Caulfield, whom he admits to identifying with—caught in the spider’s web of the story woven by this enigmatic old man.

Title: Midnight Train to Prague: A Novel Author: Carol Windley Narrator: Kate Reading Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 40 minutes Release date: November 10, 2020 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: With shades of Amy Bloom’s Away, Anthony Doerr’s All the Light We Cannot See, and Shirley Hazzard’s classic The Bay of Noon, Carol Windley’s breakout is a timeless tale of friendship, romance, betrayal, and survival set in a Europe torn apart by world war. The acclaimed author of Home Schooling returns with Midnight Train to Prague, a timeless tale of friendship, romance, betrayal, and survival that spans the turbulent decades of the twentieth century, through two world wars and between countries and continents. In 1927, as Natalia Faber travels from Berlin to Prague with her mother, their train is delayed in Saxon Switzerland. In the brief time the train is idle, Natalia learns the truth about her father—who she believed died during her infancy—and meets a remarkable woman named Dr. Magdalena Schaeffer, whose family will become a significant part of her future. Shaken by these events, Natalia arrives at a spa on the shore of Lake Hevíz in Hungary. Here, she meets Count Miklós Andorján, a journalist and adventurer. The following year, they will marry. Years later, Germany has invaded Russia. When Miklós fails to return from the eastern front, Natalia goes to Prague to wait for him. With a pack of tarot cards, she sets up shop as a fortune teller, and she meets Anna Schaeffer, the daughter of the woman she met decades earlier on that stalled train. The Nazis accuse Natalia of spying, and she is sent to a concentration camp. Though they are separated, her friendship with Anna grows as they fight to survive and to be reunited with their families.

Title: How to Kidnap the Rich: A Novel Author: Rahul Raina Narrator: Homer Todiwala Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 55 minutes Release date: February 1, 2022 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: “A raucous novel, narrated in deadpan voice-over by Ramesh, a self-described ‘lower lower middle class’ 24-year-old scammer. . . . His perspective is a delight. . . . a tartly entertaining novel, a potential summer blockbuster.” —New York Times Book Review A fresh look at modern-day India hailed as ''a monstrously funny and unpredictable wild ride'' by Kevin Kwan, New York Times bestselling author of the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy The first kidnapping wasn’t my fault. The others—those were definitely me. Brilliant yet poor, Ramesh Kumar grew up working at his father’s tea stall in the Old City of Delhi. Now, he makes a lucrative living taking tests for the sons of India's elite—a situation that becomes complicated when one of his clients, the sweet but hapless eighteen-year-old Rudi Saxena, places first in the All Indias, the national university entrance exams, thanks to him. Ramesh sees an opportunity—perhaps even an obligation—to cash in on Rudi’s newfound celebrity, not knowing that Rudi’s role on a game show will lead to unexpected love, followed by wild trouble when both young men are kidnapped.  But Ramesh outwits the criminals who’ve abducted them, turning the tables and becoming a kidnapper himself. As he leads Rudi through a maze of crimes both large and small, their dizzying journey reveals an India in all its complexity, beauty, and squalor, moving from the bottom rungs to the circles inhabited by the ultra-rich and everywhere in between. A caper, social satire, and love story rolled into one, How to Kidnap the Rich is a wild ride told by a mesmerizing new talent with an electric voice.

Title: Dust Off the Bones: A Novel Author: Paul Howarth Narrator: David Linski Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 50 minutes Release date: June 8, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: “Arresting, powerful, and very much worth reading.”—Scott Simon (NPR) ''A tale of violence and redemption in the Australian Outback....Fast-paced and brimming with colorful, realistic detail, the novel poses disturbing questions about the Australia’s historic cruelty to its native inhabitants....A complex, sophisticated morality play.''  (Starred Kirkus Review) The author of the acclaimed Only Killers and Thieves returns to turn-of-the-century Australia in this powerful sequel that follows the story of brothers Tommy and Billy McBride, the widow of their family’s killer, Katherine Sullivan, and the sadistic Native Police officer Edmund Noone In 1890, estranged brothers Tommy and Billy McBride are living far apart in Queensland, each dealing with the trauma that destroyed their family in different ways. Now 21, Billy bottles his guilt and justifies his past crimes while attempting to revive his father’s former cattle run and navigate his feelings for the young widow Katherine Sullivan. Katherine, meanwhile, cherishes her newfound independence but is struggling to establish herself as head of the vast Broken Ridge cattle empire her corrupt late husband mercilessly built. But even in the outback, the past cannot stay buried forever. When a judicial inquest is ordered into the McBride family murders and the subsequent reprisal slaughter of the Kurrong people, both Billy and Police Inspector Edmund Noone – the man who led the massacre – are called to testify. The inquest forces Billy to relive events he has long refused to face. He desperately needs to find his brother, Tommy, who for years has been surviving in the wilderness, attempting to move on with his life. But Billy is not the only one looking for Tommy. Now the ruthless Noone is determined to find the young man as well, and silence both brothers for good. An enthralling, propulsive adventure that builds in suspense, told in gorgeous prose and steeped in history and atmosphere, Dust Off the Bones raises timeless issues of injustice, honor, morality, systemic racism, and the abuse of power. With an unflinching eye, Paul Howarth examines the legacy of violence and the brutal realities of life in a world remarkably familiar to our own.

Title: Silence Is a Sense Author: Layla Alammar Narrator: Laura Sawahla Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 18 minutes Release date: March 16, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: "This is not just good storytelling, but a blueprint for survival." —The New York Times Book Review A transfixing and beautifully rendered novel about a refugee’s escape from civil war—and the healing power of community. A young woman sits in her apartment, watching the small daily dramas of her neighbors across the way. She is an outsider, a mute voyeur, safe behind her windows, and she sees it all—the sex, the fights, the happy and unhappy families. Journeying from her war-torn Syrian homeland to this unnamed British city has traumatized her into silence, and her only connection to the world is the magazine column she writes under the pseudonym “the Voiceless,” where she tries to explain the refugee experience without sensationalizing it—or revealing anything about herself. Gradually, though, the boundaries of her world expand. She ventures to the corner store, to a bookstore and a laundromat, and to a gathering at a nearby mosque. And it isn’t long before she finds herself involved in her neighbors’ lives. When an anti-Muslim hate crime rattles the neighborhood, she has to make a choice: Will she remain a voiceless observer, or become an active participant in a community that, despite her best efforts, is quickly becoming her own? Layla AlAmmar, a Kuwaiti American writer and student of Arab literature, delivers here a brilliant and affecting story about memory, revolution, loss, and safety. Most of all, and with melodic prose, Silence Is a Sense reminds us just how fundamental human connection is to survival.

Title: Silence Is a Sense Author: Layla Alammar Narrator: Laura Sawahla Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 18 minutes Release date: March 16, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: "This is not just good storytelling, but a blueprint for survival." —The New York Times Book Review A transfixing and beautifully rendered novel about a refugee’s escape from civil war—and the healing power of community. A young woman sits in her apartment, watching the small daily dramas of her neighbors across the way. She is an outsider, a mute voyeur, safe behind her windows, and she sees it all—the sex, the fights, the happy and unhappy families. Journeying from her war-torn Syrian homeland to this unnamed British city has traumatized her into silence, and her only connection to the world is the magazine column she writes under the pseudonym “the Voiceless,” where she tries to explain the refugee experience without sensationalizing it—or revealing anything about herself. Gradually, though, the boundaries of her world expand. She ventures to the corner store, to a bookstore and a laundromat, and to a gathering at a nearby mosque. And it isn’t long before she finds herself involved in her neighbors’ lives. When an anti-Muslim hate crime rattles the neighborhood, she has to make a choice: Will she remain a voiceless observer, or become an active participant in a community that, despite her best efforts, is quickly becoming her own?

Title: The Dickens Boy: A Novel Author: Thomas Keneally Narrator: David Tredinnick Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 43 minutes Release date: March 8, 2022 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: The award-winning author of modern classics such as Schindler’s List and Napoleon’s Last Island is at his triumphant best with this “engrossing and transporting” (Financial Times) novel about the adventures of Charles Dickens’s son in the Australian Outback during the 1860s. Edward Dickens, the tenth child of England’s most famous author Charles Dickens, has consistently let his parents down. Unable to apply himself at school and adrift in life, the teenaged boy is sent to Australia in the hopes that he can make something of himself—or at least fail out of the public eye. He soon finds himself in the remote Outback, surrounded by Aboriginals, colonials, ex-convicts, ex-soldiers, and very few women. Determined to prove to his parents and more importantly, himself, that he can succeed in this vast and unfamiliar wilderness, Edward works hard at his new life amidst various livestock, bushrangers, shifty stock agents, and frontier battles. By reimagining the tale of a fascinating yet little-known figure in history, this “roguishly tender coming-of-age story” (Booklist) offers penetrating insights into Colonialism and the fate of Australia’s indigenous people, and a wonderfully intimate portrait of Charles Dickens, as seen through the eyes of his son.

The Magician opens in a provincial German city at the turn of the twentieth century, where the boy, Thomas Mann, grows up with a conservative father, bound by propriety, and a Brazilian mother, alluring and unpredictable. Young Mann hides his artistic aspirations from his father and his homosexual desires from everyone. He is infatuated with one of the richest, most cultured Jewish families in Munich, and marries the daughter Katia. They have six children. On a holiday in Italy, he longs for a boy he sees on a beach and writes the story Death in Venice. He is the most successful novelist of his time, winner of the Nobel Prize in literature, a public man whose private life remains secret. He is expected to lead the condemnation of Hitler, whom he underestimates. His oldest daughter and son, leaders of Bohemianism and of the anti-Nazi movement, share lovers. He flees Germany for Switzerland, France and, ultimately, America, living first in Princeton and then in Los Angeles. In this “exquisitely sensitive” (The Wall Street Journal) novel, Tóibín has crafted “a complex but empathetic portrayal of a writer in a lifelong battle against his innermost desires, his family, and the tumultuous times they endure” (Time), and “you’ll find yourself savoring every page” (Vogue).

Title: The Duchess: A Novel of Wallis Simpson Author: Wendy Holden Narrator: Louise Barrett Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 12 minutes Release date: September 28, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: It was a love so strong, a king renounced his kingdom—all for that woman. Or was she just an escape route for a monarch who never wanted to rule? Bestselling author Wendy Holden takes an intimate look at one of the most notorious scandals of the 20th century.   1928. A middle-aged foreigner comes to London with average looks, no money and no connections. Wallis’s first months in the city are lonely, dull and depressing. With no friends of her own she follows the glamorous set in magazines and goes to watch society weddings. Her stuffy husband Ernest’s idea of fun, meanwhile, is touring historic monuments. When an unexpected encounter leads to a house party with the Prince of Wales, Wallis’s star begins to rise. Her secret weapon is her American pep and honesty. For the prince she is a breath of fresh air. As her friendship with him grows, their relationship deepens into love. Wallis is plunged into a world of unimaginable luxury and privilege, enjoying weekends together at his private palace on the grounds of Windsor Castle.   Wallis knows the fun and excitement can’t last. The prince will have to marry and she will return to Ernest. The sudden death of George V seems to make this inevitable; the Prince of Wales is now King Edward VIII. When, to her shock and amazement, he refuses to give her up--or recognize that they are facing impossible odds--her fairy tale becomes a nightmare. The royal family close ranks to shut her out and Ernest gives an ultimatum.   Wallis finds herself trapped when Edward insists on abdicating his throne. She can’t escape the overwhelming public outrage and villainized, she becomes the woman everyone blames—the face of the most dramatic royal scandal of the twentieth century.

Title: Five Smooth Stones: A Novel Author: Ann Fairbairn Narrator: Sean Crisden Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 34 hours 46 minutes Release date: December 14, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: David Champlin is a black man born into poverty in Depression-era New Orleans who achieves great success and then sacrifices everything to lead his people in the difficult, day-by-day struggle of the civil rights movement. Sara Kent is the beloved and vital white girl who loved David from the moment she first saw him, but they struggled over David's belief that a marriage for them would not be right in the violent world he had to confront. Likening the struggle of black Americans to the 'five smooth stones' the biblical David carried against Goliath in lieu of arms, this novel's range encompasses decades and continents—but that range is insignificant compared with the intimate picture of its hero's irresistible warmth and inner conflicts. First published in 1966, this epic has become one of the most loved American bestsellers.

Consie is home for a funeral when she stumbles upon a family letter sent from Germany in 1945, which contains staggering news: Consie's great-uncle Hermann, who was transported to Auschwitz with his wife and three daughters, might have escaped. This seems improbable to Consie. Did people escape from Auschwitz? Could her great-uncle have been among them? What happened to Hermann? Did anyone know? These questions are at the root of Consie's excavation of her family's history as she seeks, seventy years after the liberation of Auschwitz, to discover what happened to Hermann. The Plum Trees follows Consie as she draws on oral testimonies, historical records, and more to construct a visceral account of the lives of Hermann, his wife, and their daughters from the happy days in prewar Czechoslovakia through their internment in Auschwitz and the end of World War II. The Plum Trees is a powerful, intimate reckoning with the past.

Agra, 1938: Eighteen-year-old Florence Hunt has grown up riding horses past the Taj Mahal and chasing peacocks through her backyard under the critical gaze of her father. Increasingly enamoured with his work on the booming railway, Florence yearns to know more, but finds herself brushed away, encouraged only to perform the more ladylike hobbies of singing and entertaining guests. So when a dazzling young engineer walks into her life, she finds herself not only gripped by secret lessons in physics but swept entirely off her feet. Portsmouth, 1953: Fifteen years later, Florence finds herself pregnant and alone in post-war England – a far cry from her sun-drenched existence in India. Struggling to cope with the bleakness of everyday life in a male-dominated world, Florence is desperate to find the woman she used to be. But when someone from her past reaches out, Florence might just have a chance to start over. Soaring from the shimmering heights of the big top to the depths of heartbreak, can Florence find the happiness, independence, and passion she once had in order to start living again?

Title: Blood Royal: Or, The Son of Milady Series: #4 of The Musketeers Cycle Author: Lawrence Ellsworth, Alexandre Dumas Narrator: John Lee Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 57 minutes Release date: November 3, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: The latest entry in this acclaimed series of new translations of the Musketeer novels, Blood Royal continues the adventures of the valiant d’Artagnan and his three loyal friends. The latest translation in Lawrence Ellsworth’s acclaimed new series of Alexandre Dumas’s greatest adventures is Blood Royal, the second half of what Dumas originally published as Twenty Years After. In this volume all the plots and schemes set up in the previous novel come to dramatic fruition in the kind of exciting thrill-ride Dumas is famous for—while at the same time introducing the characters and themes that form the foundation of the rest of the series, leading to its great climax in The Man in the Iron Mask. In Blood Royal, the Four Musketeers all venture to England on parallel missions to save King Charles I, pursued by the murderous and vengeful Mordaunt, the son of Milady de Winter, the great villain of The Three Musketeers. Despite all his experience, d’Artagnan is repeatedly foiled by the much-younger Mordaunt, who erupts out of the past to embody the strengths of audacity and cunning that were once d’Artagnan’s hallmarks. Mordaunt has corrupted those youthful strengths, and the older d’Artagnan is no match for him until he is able to pull his former team together again. To do this d’Artagnan will have to become a true leader of men, leading not just by example but also by foresight, persuasion, and compromise. Only then can the team of Athos, Porthos, and Aramis be re-formed in all its might to defeat the specter of their past. Blood Royal is unmatched in Dumas’s oeuvre in its depictions of his most famous and beloved characters, and an unforgettable saga of swordplay, suspense, revenge, and ultimate triumph.

Containing enough riches to bestow glory and wealth upon whoever delivers it to Napoleon, this elusive cache soon draws other, more powerful forces, wishing to claim it. In Normandy, Sophie Valiere strives to manage the family estate in Andre’s absence, but her efforts are imperiled by an influx of refugees and their growing friction with the local farmers. Amidst the infighting that threatens to unleash chaos on the entire province, she is visited by an intriguing Count returning from exile. It isn’t long before this mysterious nobleman has his sights on a new prize. In Paris, retired republican lawyer and former revolutionary, Jean-luc St. Clair, finds himself returning to politics. As his fortunes grow so does his list of enemies, and the opulent streets prove just as dangerous as Napoleon’s battlefields. Inspired by the mysterious origins of the famed Rothschild’s fortune, the bloody battles of the Napoleonic wars, the notorious gangs of nineteenth century Naples, and the real-life mistress who charmed Napoleon into granting Poland a nation-state, Searchers in Winter sets a cast of unforgettable characters—against epic historical events—into thrilling motion from the opening pages.

Title: You Belong Here Now: A Novel Author: Dianna Rostad Narrator: Courtney Patterson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 55 minutes Release date: April 6, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.86 of Total 7 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 4 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: “It’s so hard to believe that this is a debut novel! It’s an historic novel. Talk about hitting me on so many good points.” –John Busbee, The Culture Buzz, weekly on www.KFMG.org “Set against the harsh backdrop of Montana, You Belong Here Now is a novel as straightforward and powerful as the characters who populate it. I love this book, and I guarantee you won’t find a finer debut work anywhere.” — William Kent Krueger, New York Times bestselling author of This Tender Land “You Belong Here Now distills the essence of the American spirit in this uplifting story. Perfect for book clubs looking to discuss the true meaning of family.” — Kathleen Grissom, New York Times bestselling author of The Kitchen House In this brilliant debut reminiscent of William Kent Krueger's This Tender Land and Lisa Wingate's Before We Were Yours, three orphans journey westward from New York City to the Big Sky Country of Montana, hoping for a better life where beautiful wild horses roam free. Montana 1925: Three brave kids from New York board the orphan train headed west. An Irish boy who lost his whole family to Spanish flu, a tiny girl who won’t talk, and a volatile young man who desperately needs to escape Hell’s Kitchen. They are paraded on platforms across the Midwest to work-worn folks and journey countless miles, racing the sun westward. Before they reach the last rejection and stop, the kids come up with a daring plan, and they set off toward the Yellowstone River and grassy mountains where the wild horses roam. Fate guides them toward the ranch of a family stricken by loss. Broken and unable to outrun their pasts in New York, the family must do the unthinkable in order to save them.  Nara, the daughter of a successful cattleman, has grown into a brusque spinster who refuses the kids on sight. She’s worked hard to gain her father’s respect and hopes to run their operation, but if the kids stay, she’ll be stuck in the kitchen. Nara works them without mercy, hoping they’ll run off, but they buck up and show spirit, and though Nara will never be motherly, she begins to take to them. So, when Charles is jailed for freeing wild horses that were rounded up for slaughter, and an abusive mother from New York shows up to take the youngest, Nara does the unthinkable, risking everything she holds dear to change their lives forever. “From the moment the reader steps on the train with these orphaned children, You Belong Here Now shows how beauty can emerge from even the darkest places.” —Erika Robuck, national bestselling author of Hemingway’s Girl “Rostad’s bighearted debut is full of surprises, and warm with wisdom about what it means to be family.” —Meg Waite Clayton, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Train to London Dianna Rostad Tue, 06 Apr 2021 02:50:23 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/500911 thebookvoice.com 8:55:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/500911]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Evelyn Varley has always been ambitious and clever. As a girl, she earned a scholarship to a prestigious academy well above her parents’ means, gaining her a best friend from one of England’s wealthiest families. In 1939, with an Oxford degree in hand and war looming, Evelyn finds herself recruited into an elite MI5 counterintelligence unit. A ruthless secret society seeks an alliance with Germany and, posing as a Nazi sympathizer, Evelyn must build a case to expose their treachery.
