Title: Pandora: The instant no.1 Sunday Times bestseller Author: Susan Stokes-Chapman Narrator: Olivia Vinall Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 30 minutes Release date: January 27, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.5 of Total 2 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. A pure pleasure of a novel set in Georgian London where the discovery of a mysterious ancient Greek vase sets in motion conspiracies, revelations and romance. There is a fine line between coincidence and fate... In London 1799, Dora Blake is an aspiring jewellery artist who lives with her uncle in what used to be her parents' famed shop of antiquities. When a mysterious Greek vase is delivered, Dora is intrigued by her uncle's suspicious behaviour and enlists the help of Edward Lawrence, a young man seeking acceptance into the Society of Antiquaries. Edward sees the ancient vase as key to unlocking his academic future. Dora sees it as her chance to restore her parents' shop to its former glory, and to escape her uncle. But what Edward discovers about the vase has Dora questioning everything she has ever known, about her life, her family and the world as she knows it. As Dora uncovers the truth she starts to realise that some mysteries are buried, and some boxes are locked, for a reason. Gorgeously atmospheric and deliciously page-turning, Pandora deals with themes of secrets and deception, love and fulfilment, fate and hope.

Estamos en París en marzo de 1885. Como cada año para la Media Cuaresma, se celebra el popular «baile de las locas» en el hospital de la Salpêtrière, dirigido por el eminente neurólogo profesor Charcot. Durante una noche, la flor y nata de París disfruta al ritmo de valses y polcas en compañía de las internas, disfrazadas con extravagantes atuendos. Entre las pacientes destacan Louise, una joven epiléptica maltratada por su tío que tiene puestas todas sus ilusiones en un futuro matrimonio con un interno del centro, y la rebelde y visionaria Eugénie, una muchacha de buena familia encerrada sin contemplaciones por su propio padre. Bajo la atenta vigilancia de la implacable supervisora Geneviève, ambas intentarán cumplir sus sueños y harán todo lo posible por escapar. La crítica ha dicho... «Una obra maestra, un alegato contra la violencia machista, un himno a la libertad, un libro para todas». Gema Veiga, ELLE «Una ópera prima que en pocos días fulminó tiradas en Francia y se convirtió en un bestseller en la rentrée de 2019. [...] La obra trasciende los límites de la Salpêtrière para denunciar el 'confinamiento' de la mujer en el XIX, incluso en el lujo de una mansión burguesa, bajo el mandato de un padre y/o marido».

Title: Wedding Station Series: #7 of John Russell WWII Spy Author: David Downing Narrator: Simon Vance Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 12 minutes Release date: March 2, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: February 27, 1933. In this stunning prequel to the John Russell espionage novels, the Reichstag parliament building in Berlin is set ablaze. It’s just a month after Hitler’s inauguration as Chancellor of Germany, and the Nazis use the torching to justify a campaign of terror against their political opponents. John Russell’s recent separation from his wife threatens his right to reside in Germany and any meaningful relationship with his six-year-old son, Paul. He has just secured work as a crime reporter for a Berlin newspaper, and the crimes which he has to report—the gruesome murder of a rent boy, the hit-and-run death of a professional genealogist, the suspicious disappearance of a Nazi supporting celebrity fortune-teller—are increasingly entangled in the wider nightmare engulfing Germany. Each new investigation carries the risk of Russell’s falling foul of the authorities, at a time when the rule of law has completely vanished, and the Nazis are running scores of pop-up detention centers, complete with torture chambers, in every corner of Berlin.

Title: Citizen Washington: A Novel Author: William Martin Narrator: John Pruden Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 20 hours 15 minutes Release date: February 18, 2020 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: He became the nation’s first hero… But before that, George Washington was just a man. And in his youth, he was a man on the make. He wanted to serve the king, so he donned a red coat and fought the French. He loved another man’s wife but yearned for status, so he married a rich widow. He dreamed of wealth, so he accumulated land and slaves. He accumulated enemies, too…. In Citizen Washington, one of those enemies—a newspaper publisher named Hesperus Draper—learns that Martha Washington has burned her husband’s letters at his death. So Draper sets his nephew on a quest to find the truth about the letters and about the man himself. The younger Draper meets a dozen people, from Mount Vernon slaves and Iroquois Indians to Jefferson and Adams and the other giants of the era, and they tell their own stories as they tell Washington’s: from his callow youth, through the harrowing battles of the Revolution, to the first American presidency. What emerges is a remarkable, multi-faceted portrait of a society reeling toward rebellion, a nation rushing to be born, and a man rising to greatness.

It’s a Mediterranean winter in 1888. Though Cannes glistens, it’s darker behind closed doors. A real estate crisis has ripped through the city’s storied fortunes, upending lives.

Many want to see the swindler dead, and when he’s found murdered, everyone is a suspect—including one of Lola’s closest friends. The only clue to finding the real killer: a shattered portrait.

Title: Crow Court Author: Andy Charman Narrator: Mark Mitchinson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 29 minutes Release date: April 1, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: NOMINATED FOR THE DESMOND ELLIOT PRIZE Spring, 1840. In the Dorset market town of Wimborne Minster, a young choirboy drowns himself. Soon after, the choirmaster-a belligerent man with a vicious reputation-is found murdered, in a discovery tainted as much by relief as it is by suspicion. The gaze of the magistrates falls on four local men, whose decisions will reverberate through the community for years to come. So begins the chronicle of Crow Court, unravelling over fourteen delicately interwoven episodes, the town of Wimborne their backdrop: a young gentleman and his groom run off to join the army; a sleepwalking cordwainer wakes on his wife's grave; desperate farmhands emigrate. We meet the composer with writer's block; the smuggler; a troupe of actors down from London; and old Art Pugh, whose impoverished life has made him hard to amuse. Meanwhile, justice waits... “Debut novels shouldn't be this perfectly formed. Its subject is historic, yet its exploration of morality feels utterly modern. A rarity in historical fiction: it truly places you in the here and now of a world once removed. Crow Court already looks, feels and smells like a classic” BEN MYERS, author of The Gallows Pole and The Offing “A confident and exciting debut: exactly observed, densely textured and richly flavoured, Crow Court is throbbing with life” RICK GEKOSKI, author of Darke “An innovative and beautifully-written historical novel that features an array of diverse characters and voices from its vividly-realised Dorset setting” JANE HARRIS, author of Sugar Money “Inventive, original and deeply moving. There is a warmth and humanity, an acceptance of the vagaries and challenges of life” ALICE JOLLY, author of Mary Anne Sate, Imbecile “A gripping mystery, beautifully teased out over several decades, full of intrigue and ambiguity” ANDY HAMILTON, author of Longhand Andy Charman Thu, 01 Apr 2021 02:50:26 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/499887 thebookvoice.com 8:29:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/499887]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Brides of Rome: A Novel of the Vestal Virgins Series: #1 of The Vesta Shadows Trilogy Author: Debra May Macleod Narrator: Esther Wane Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 58 minutes Release date: October 27, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: It is a world of power and privilege, secrets and sacred duty. It is the world of ancient Rome. And it is the esteemed Vestal Virgins—priestesses of Vesta, goddess of the home and hearth—who protect the Eternal Flame that protects the Eternal City. Dedicated to a thirty-year vow of chaste service, Priestess Pomponia finds herself swept up in the intrigue, violence, wars, and bedroom politics of Rome’s elite—Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra, Octavian and his maneuvering wife, Livia—all the while guarding the secret affection she has in her heart. But when a charge of incestum—a broken vow of chastity—is made against the Vestal order, the ultimate punishment looms: death by being buried alive in the “Evil Field.” In Brides of Rome, Book One in the Vesta Shadows series, Debra May Macleod skillfully re-creates the world of ancient Rome with all its brutality and brilliance, all its rich history and even richer legend. A true page-turner that is as smart as it is compelling, this must-read novel brings the Vestal order to life like never before. The Vesta Shadows trilogy spans decades, from 45 BCE to 14 CE. It follows the life of the Vestal priestess Pomponia Occia, who is inspired by the real Vestal Occia who lived during this time, serving in the Temple of Vesta for more than fifty years. Set during the tumultuous years that saw the fall of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman Empire under Augustus—and beyond—it dramatizes some of the major historical events that occurred during her lifetime while simultaneously bringing ancient Rome to life with fast-paced, engrossing, and visceral storylines played out by a striking cast of characters.

Title: Chronicles from the Land of the Happiest People on Earth: A Novel Author: Wole Soyinka Narrator: Michael Obiora Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 21 hours 40 minutes Release date: September 28, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR • The first Black winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature gives us a tour de force, combining 'elements of a murder mystery, a searing political satire and an Alice in Wonderland-like modern allegory of power and deceit' (Los Angeles Times).   In an imaginary Nigeria, a cunning entrepreneur is selling body parts stolen from Dr. Menka's hospital for use in ritualistic practices. Dr. Menka shares the grisly news with his oldest college friend, bon viveur, star engineer, and Yoruba royal, Duyole Pitan-Payne. The life of every party, Duyole is about to assume a prestigious post at the United Nations in New York, but it now seems that someone is deter­mined that he not make it there. And neither Dr. Menka nor Duyole knows why, or how close the enemy is, or how powerful.   Chronicles from the Land of the Happiest People on Earth is at once a literary hoot, a crafty whodunit, and a scathing indictment of political and social corrup­tion. It is a stirring call to arms against the abuse of power from one of our fiercest political activists, who also happens to be a global literary giant.

Title: The White Rose Resists: A Novel of the German Students Who Defied Hitler Author: Amanda Barratt Narrator: Greg Tremblay, Christa Lewis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 5 minutes Release date: June 8, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Inspired by the incredible true story of a group of ordinary men and women who dared to stand against evil. The ideal of a new Germany swept up Sophie Scholl in a maelstrom of patriotic fervor—that is, until she realized the truth behind Hitler's machinations for the fatherland. Now she and other students in Munich, the cradle of the Nazi government, have banded together to form a group to fight for the truth: the White Rose. Risking everything to print and distribute leaflets calling for Germans to rise up against the evil permeating their country, the White Rose treads a knife's edge of discovery by the Gestapo. Annalise Brandt came to the University of Munich to study art, not get involved with conspiracy. The daughter of an SS officer, she's been brought up to believe in the Führer's divinely appointed leadership. But the more she comes to know Sophie and her friends, the more she questions the Nazi propaganda. Soon Annalise joins their double life—students by day, resisters by night. And as the stakes increase, they're all forced to confront the deadly consequences meted out to any who dare to oppose the Reich.

Title: The Second Life of Mirielle West Author: Amanda Skenandore Narrator: Nicole Poole Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 37 minutes Release date: July 27, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.59 of Total 32 Ratings of Narrator: 4.38 of Total 13 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: 1920s Los Angeles: Socialite Mirielle West's days are crowded with shopping, luncheons, and prepping for the myriad glittering parties she attends with her actor husband, Charlie. She's been too busy to even notice the small patch of pale skin on the back of her hand. Other than an occasional over-indulgence in gin and champagne, which helps to numb the pain of recent tragedy, Mirielle is the picture of health. But her doctor insists on more tests, and Mirielle reluctantly agrees. The diagnosis—leprosy—is devastating and unthinkable. Changing her name to shield Charlie and their two young children, Mirielle is exiled to rural Louisiana for what she hopes will be a swift cure. But the hospital at Carville turns out to be as much a prison as a place of healing. Deaths far outnumber the discharges, and many patients have languished for years. At first, Mirielle keeps her distance from other residents, unwilling to accept her new reality. Gradually she begins to find both a community and a purpose at Carville, helping the nurses and doctors while eagerly anticipating her return home. But even that wish is tinged with uncertainty. How can she bridge the divide between the woman, wife, and mother she was, and the stranger she has become? And what price is she willing to pay to protect the ones she loves?

This is the second novel by Nadia Hashimi, the author of last year’s breakout, THE PEARL THAT BROKE ITS SHELL. Mahmoud’s passion for his wife Fereiba, a schoolteacher, is greater than any love she’s ever known. But their happy, middle-class world—a life of education, work, and comfort—implodes when their country is engulfed in war, and the Taliban rises to power. Mahmoud, a civil engineer, becomes a target of the new fundamentalist regime and is murdered. Forced to flee Kabul with her three children, Fereiba has one hope to survive: she must find a way to cross Europe and reach her sister’s family in England.

Exhausted and brokenhearted but undefeated, Fereiba manages to smuggle them as far as Greece.

Faced with an impossible choice, Fereiba pushes on with her daughter and baby, while Saleem falls into the shadowy underground network of undocumented Afghans who haunt the streets of Europe’s capitals. Across the continent Fereiba and Saleem struggle to reunite, and ultimately find a place where they can begin to reconstruct their lives.

Title: The Women's March: A Novel of the 1913 Woman Suffrage Procession Author: Jennifer Chiaverini Narrator: Saskia Maarleveld Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 51 minutes Release date: July 27, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Chiaverini returns with The Women’s March, an enthralling historical novel of the woman’s suffrage movement inspired by three courageous women who bravely risked their lives and liberty in the fight to win the vote. Twenty-five-year-old Alice Paul returns to her native New Jersey after several years on the front lines of the suffrage movement in Great Britain. Weakened from imprisonment and hunger strikes, she is nevertheless determined to invigorate the stagnant suffrage movement in her homeland. Nine states have already granted women voting rights, but only a constitutional amendment will secure the vote for all. To inspire support for the campaign, Alice organizes a magnificent procession down Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, DC, the day before the inauguration of President-elect Woodrow Wilson, a firm antisuffragist. Joining the march is thirty-nine-year-old New Yorker Maud Malone, librarian and advocate for women’s and workers’ rights. The daughter of Irish immigrants, Maud has acquired a reputation—and a criminal record—for interrupting politicians’ speeches with pointed questions they’d rather ignore. Civil rights activist and journalist Ida B. Wells-Barnett resolves that women of color must also be included in the march—and the proposed amendment. Born into slavery in Mississippi, Ida worries that white suffragists may exclude Black women if it serves their own interests. On March 3, 1913, the glorious march commences, but negligent police allow vast crowds of belligerent men to block the parade route—jeering, shouting threats, assaulting the marchers—endangering not only the success of the demonstration but the women’s very lives. Inspired by actual events, The Women’s March offers a fascinating account of a crucial but little-remembered moment in American history, a turning point in the struggle for women’s rights.

Among the most celebrated and beloved novels of recent times, Cloud Cuckoo Land is a triumph of imagination and compassion, a soaring story about children on the cusp of adulthood in worlds in peril, who find resilience, hope, and a book. In the 15th century, an orphan named Anna lives inside the formidable walls of Constantinople. She learns to read, and in this ancient city, famous for its libraries, she finds what might be the last copy of a centuries-old book, the story of Aethon, who longs to be turned into a bird so that he can fly to a utopian paradise in the sky. Outside the walls is Omeir, a village boy, conscripted with his beloved oxen into the army that will lay siege to the city. His path and Anna’s will cross. In the present day, in a library in Idaho, octogenarian Zeno rehearses children in a play adaptation of Aethon’s story, preserved against all odds through centuries. Tucked among the library shelves is a bomb, planted by a troubled, idealistic teenager, Seymour. This is another siege. And in a not-so-distant future, on the interstellar ship Argos, Konstance is alone in a vault, copying on scraps of sacking the story of Aethon, told to her by her father. Anna, Omeir, Seymour, Zeno, and Konstance are dreamers and outsiders whose lives are gloriously intertwined. Doerr’s dazzling imagination transports us to worlds so dramatic and immersive that we forget, for a time, our own.

Title: Main Street: 100th Anniversary Edition Author: Sinclair Lewis Narrator: Kitty Hendrix Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 19 hours 15 minutes Release date: January 1, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: This 100th Anniversary Edition, with new new Foreword by biographer Richard Lingeman and a new Afterword to the Audiobook by Dr. Sally Parry. Published in 1920, Main Street was Sinclair Lewis's first big hit. Biographer Mark Schorer wrote: it "was the most sensational event in 20th-century American publishing history, from the point of view both of sales and of public response. The printers could not keep up with the orders, and for a while the publishers had to ration out copies to book-sellers." Lewis's biting satire countered the American myth of wholesome small-town life with a depiction of narrow-minded provincialism with struck a chord - or hit a nerve - with Americans. Based on Lewis's own experiences growing on Sauk Centre, Minnesota and set in the mid-1910s, it follows Carol Kennicott, who leaves her librarian job and St. Paul, Minnesota to marry Dr. Will Kennicott of Gopher Prairie. Young and optimistic, Carol is dismayed by the town's drabness and finds the inhabitants conforming and petty. Carol sets out to improve the town, but is met with distrust and derision, and finds herself becoming a pariah. Sinclair Lewis was in the vanguard of a generation of American writers like Ernest Hemingway. F. Scott Fitzgerald, Willa Cather, Theodore Dreiser who sought more realism in their work. Lewis's intimate knowledge of small-town America and his gift for creating realistic characters make Main Street a compelling classic still surprisingly relevant today. The racism, religious bigotry, puritanical righteousness, and duplicitous business practices Lewis exposed are with us still. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Lewis's portrayal of women is surprisingly sensitive. His nuanced descriptions of marriage, and the compromises woman were expected to make, offer both insightful social commentary and convincing realism. And while he is critical of small town hypocrisies, he also finds a level of human connectedness in them lacking in big cities. Main Street was recommended by the Pulitzer Committee in 1921, but the Trustees of Colombia University overruled the jury. In 1923, "Babbitt" was chosen, but the committee was again overruled by the Trustees. In 1926, he was finally awarded the Pulitzer for "Arrowsmith," and he turned it down - the first writer to do so. In 1930, he became the first American to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Title: Main Street: 100th Anniversary Edition Author: Sinclair Lewis Narrator: Kitty Hendrix Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 19 hours 15 minutes Release date: January 1, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: This 100th Anniversary Edition, with new new Foreword by biographer Richard Lingeman and a new Afterword to the Audiobook by Dr. Sally Parry. Published in 1920, Main Street was Sinclair Lewis's first big hit. Biographer Mark Schorer wrote: it "was the most sensational event in 20th-century American publishing history, from the point of view both of sales and of public response. The printers could not keep up with the orders, and for a while the publishers had to ration out copies to book-sellers." Lewis's biting satire countered the American myth of wholesome small-town life with a depiction of narrow-minded provincialism with struck a chord - or hit a nerve - with Americans. Based on Lewis's own experiences growing on Sauk Centre, Minnesota and set in the mid-1910s, it follows Carol Kennicott, who leaves her librarian job and St. Paul, Minnesota to marry Dr. Will Kennicott of Gopher Prairie. Young and optimistic, Carol is dismayed by the town's drabness and finds the inhabitants conforming and petty. Carol sets out to improve the town, but is met with distrust and derision, and finds herself becoming a pariah. Sinclair Lewis was in the vanguard of a generation of American writers like Ernest Hemingway. F. Scott Fitzgerald, Willa Cather, Theodore Dreiser who sought more realism in their work. Lewis's intimate knowledge of small-town America and his gift for creating realistic characters make Main Street a compelling classic still surprisingly relevant today. The racism, religious bigotry, puritanical righteousness, and duplicitous business practices Lewis exposed are with us still. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Lewis's portrayal of women is surprisingly sensitive. His nuanced descriptions of marriage, and the compromises woman were expected to make, offer both insightful social commentary and convincing realism. And while he is critical of small town hypocrisies, he also finds a level of human connectedness in them lacking in big cities. Main Street was recommended by the Pulitzer Committee in 1921, but the Trustees of Colombia University overruled the jury. In 1923, "Babbitt" was chosen, but the committee was again overruled by the Trustees. In 1926, he was finally awarded the Pulitzer for "Arrowsmith," and he turned it down - the first writer to do so. In 1930, he became the first American to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Title: The People in the Trees Author: Hanya Yanagihara Narrator: Bd Wong, Mark Bramhall Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 17 hours 37 minutes Release date: March 23, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 9 Ratings of Narrator: 4.5 of Total 2 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Readers of exciting, challenging and visionary literary fiction—including admirers of Norman Rush's Mating, Ann Patchett's State of Wonder, Barbara Kingsolver's The Poisonwood Bible, and Peter Matthiessen's At Play in the Fields of the Lord—will be drawn to this astonishingly gripping and accomplished first novel. A decade in the writing, this is an anthropological adventure story that combines the visceral allure of a thriller with a profound and tragic vision of what happens when cultures collide. It is a book that instantly catapults Hanya Yanagihara into the company of young novelists who really, really matter. In 1950, a young doctor called Norton Perina signs on with the anthropologist Paul Tallent for an expedition to the remote Micronesian island of Ivu'ivu in search of a rumored lost tribe. They succeed, finding not only that tribe but also a group of forest dwellers they dub 'The Dreamers,' who turn out to be fantastically long-lived but progressively more senile. Perina suspects the source of their longevity is a hard-to-find turtle; unable to resist the possibility of eternal life, he kills one and smuggles some meat back to the States. He scientifically proves his thesis, earning worldwide fame and the Nobel Prize, but he soon discovers that its miraculous property comes at a terrible price. As things quickly spiral out of his control, his own demons take hold, with devastating personal consequences. *This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF that contains a map and the Appendix from the book.

The quintessential great American novel.”—Booklist (starred review) “A vivid mosaic.”—BookPage (starred review) Jonathan Evison’s Small World is an epic novel for now. Set against such iconic backdrops as the California gold rush, the development of the transcontinental railroad, and a speeding train of modern-day strangers forced together by fate, it is a grand entertainment that asks big questions.   The characters of Small World connect in the most intriguing and meaningful ways, winning, breaking, and winning our hearts again. In exploring the passengers’ lives and those of their ancestors more than a century before, Small World chronicles 170 years of American nation-building from numerous points of view across place and time. And it does it with a fullhearted, full-throttle pace that asks on the most human, intimate scale whether it is truly possible to meet, and survive, the choices posed—and forced—by the age.   The result is a historical epic with a Dickensian flair, a grand entertainment that asks whether our nation has made good on its promises. It dazzles as its characters come to connect with one another through time. And it hits home as it probes at our country’s injustices, big and small, straight through to its deeply satisfying final words.

Title: Ridgeline Author: Michael Punke Narrator: Tatanka Means, Amanda Stribling Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 9 minutes Release date: June 10, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: ‘An exciting, vividly-imagined reconstruction of an extraordinary moment in the history of the American West’ Ian McGuire, bestselling author of THE NORTH WATER and INCREDIBLE BODIES ‘A highly compelling page turner; you won’t be able to put it down’ Philipp Meyer, author of THE SON and AMERICAN RUST The thrilling, long-awaited return of the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Revenant In 1866, with the country barely recovered from the Civil War, new war breaks out on the western frontier – a clash of cultures between a young, ambitious nation and the Native tribes who have lived on the land for centuries. Colonel Henry Carrington arrives in Wyoming’s Powder River Valley to lead the US Army in defending the opening of a new road for gold miners and settlers. Carrington intends to build a fort in the middle of critical hunting grounds, the home of the Lakota. Red Cloud, one of the Lakota’s most respected chiefs, and Crazy Horse, a young but visionary warrior, understand full well the implications of this invasion. For the Lakota, the stakes are their home, their culture, their lives. Throughout this taut saga – based on real people and events – Michael Punke brings the same immersive, vivid storytelling and historical insight that made his breakthrough debut so memorable.

Title: The Pages Author: Hugo Hamilton Narrator: Stephanie Racine Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 44 minutes Release date: July 22, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: ‘Part thriller, part treasure hunt and part love story … Profound and heartbreaking’ Sunday Times ‘A terrific, engrossing novel’ Roddy Doyle ‘A masterpiece’ Sebastian Barry ‘A rich, strange book. Very truthful and moving’ Tessa Hadley The new novel about the transformative power of art, the weight of history and the strange connection we make with one another, from the author of The Speckled People. The narrator of The Pages is not a human but a book: a first edition of Joseph Roth’s masterpiece Rebellion, rescued from a Nazi book-burning in 1933. In recounting its history, it tells a multitude of stories: of Andreas, the character who lives in its pages; of its current owner, a woman whose discovery of a hand-drawn map in the book begins a thrilling mystery; and of Roth himself, a writer on the run. Together, they form a compelling story about art, nationalism, the weight of history, and the strange connections between us. ‘This book simply must be read.

Title: Grand Hotel Europa Author: Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer Narrator: Thomas Loibl Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 17 hours 48 minutes Release date: April 28, 2022 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer’s moving and addictive masterpiece of European identity, nostalgia and the end of an era. ‘A masterpiece: grandiose style, brilliant and rich. It will defy the ages’ Trouw (The Netherlands) ‘The love of my life lives in my past. That is, despite the alliteration, a terrible sentence to write. I do not want to come to the conclusion that, as it is the case for the hotel where I am staying and the continent after which it is named, the best time is behind me and that I have little more to expect from the future than to live on my past.’ A writer takes residence in the illustrious but decaying Grand Hotel Europa, to think about where things went wrong with Clio, with whom he fell in love in Genoa and moved to Venice. He reconstructs a compelling story of love in times of mass tourism, about their trips to Malta, Palmaria, Portovenere and the Cinque Terre and their thrilling search for the last painting of Caravaggio. Meanwhile, he becomes fascinated by the mysteries of Grand Hotel Europe and gets more and more involved with the memorable characters who inhabit it, and who seem to come from a more elegant time. All the while, globalisation seems to be grabbing hold even on this place frozen in time. Grand Hotel Europa is Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer’s masterly novel on the old continent, where so much history resides that there is no place left for a future and where the most realistic future perspectives are offered in the form of exploiting the past in the shape of tourism.

Title: Sisters in Arms: A Novel of the Daring Black Women Who Served During World War II Author: Kaia Alderson Narrator: Shayna Small Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 7 minutes Release date: August 3, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Kaia Alderson’s debut historical fiction novel reveals the untold, true story of the Six Triple Eight, the only all-Black battalion of the Women’s Army Corps, who made the dangerous voyage to Europe to ensure American servicemen received word from their loved ones during World War II. Grace Steele and Eliza Jones may be from completely different backgrounds, but when it comes to the army, specifically the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC), they are both starting from the same level. Not only will they be among the first class of female officers the army has even seen, they are also the first Black women allowed to serve.  As these courageous women help to form the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, they are dealing with more than just army bureaucracy—everyone is determined to see this experiment fail. For two northern women, learning to navigate their way through the segregated army may be tougher than boot camp. Grace and Eliza know that there is no room for error; they must be more perfect than everyone else. When they finally make it overseas, to England and then France, Grace and Eliza will at last be able to do their parts for the country they love, whatever the risk to themselves. Based on the true story of the 6888th Postal Battalion (the Six Triple Eight), Sisters in Arms explores the untold story of what life was like for the only all-Black, female U.S. battalion to be deployed overseas during World War II.

Title: [Spanish] - Arrebatos carnales II Series: #2 of Arrebatos Carnales Author: Francisco Martín Moreno Narrator: Rod González Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 20 hours 9 minutes Release date: January 28, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Una vez más, el autor nos hace disfrutar de la historia de México conociendo sus entresijos carnales y sus pasiones. «Una prueba para demostrar que no me dejé impresionar por los comentarios adversos ni me importó que me llamaran irreverente, entre otros calificativos, por haberme atrevido a bajar de sus respectivos pedestales a los grandes protagonistas de la historia de México y por exhibirlos como figuras de carne y hueso con sus fortalezas y debilidades [...] Aquí está Arrebatos carnales II.» Francisco Martín Moreno regresa con grandes hombres y mujeres de la historia y sus amores.

If you’re reading this letter, that means I’m dead. I had obviously hoped to see you again, to explain in person, but fate had other plans. 1933 At eighteen years old, Molly Ryan dreams of becoming a journalist, but instead she spends her days working any job she can to help her family through the Depression crippling her city. The one bright spot in her life is watching baseball with her best friend, Hannah Dreyfus, and sneaking glances at Hannah’s handsome older brother, Max.

When tensions between the Irish and Jewish communities erupt in a riot one smouldering day in August, Molly and Max are caught in the middle, with devastating consequences for both their families. 1939 Six years later, the Depression has eased and Molly is a reporter at her local paper. But a new war is on the horizon, putting everyone she cares about most in peril.

Title: The Woman at the Front Author: Lecia Cornwall Narrator: Hannah Curtis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 2 minutes Release date: September 28, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: A daring young woman risks everything to pursue a career as a doctor on the front lines in France during World War I, and learns the true meaning of hope, love, and resilience in the darkest of times. When Eleanor Atherton graduates from medical school near the top of her class in 1917, she dreams of going overseas to help the wounded, but her ambition is thwarted at every turn. Eleanor's parents insist she must give up medicine, marry a respectable man, and assume her proper place. While women might serve as ambulance drivers or nurses at the front, they cannot be physicians—that work is too dangerous and frightening. Nevertheless, Eleanor is determined to make more of a contribution than sitting at home knitting for the troops. When an unexpected twist of fate sends Eleanor to the battlefields of France as the private doctor of a British peer, she seizes the opportunity for what it is—the chance to finally prove herself. But there's a war on, and a casualty clearing station close to the front lines is an unforgiving place. Facing skeptical commanders who question her skills, scores of wounded men needing care, underhanded efforts by her family to bring her back home, and a blossoming romance, Eleanor must decide if she's brave enough to break the rules, face her darkest fears, and take the chance to win the career—and the love—she's always wanted.

Title: Her Heart for a Compass: A Novel Author: Sarah Ferguson Narrator: Ell Potter, Sarah Ferguson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 2 minutes Release date: August 3, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 5 Ratings of Narrator: 3 of Total 2 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Read by Sarah Ferguson and Ell Potter From one of the most famous former members of the British royal family, Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, cowritten with the acclaimed historical novelist, Marguerite Kaye—a mesmerizing novel of a young noblewoman’s coming-of-age that richly details both high society and low in Victorian England. The second daughter of the Queens’ close friend, the Scottish Duke of Buccleuch, Lady Margaret Montagu Scott is expected to make an advantageous marriage. But Margaret is an impulsive and outspoken girl in a repressive society where women are, quite literally, caged in corsets and required to conform. When Lady Margaret’s parents arrange a society marriage for her, she tries to reconcile herself to the match. But shortly before her betrothal is announced, Margaret flees, leaving her parents to explain her sudden absence to an opulent ballroom stuffed with two hundred distinguished guests. Banished from polite society, Margaret throws herself into charitable work and finds strength in a circle of female friends like herself—women intent on breaking the mold, including Queen Victoria’s daughter Princess Louise. Margaret resolves to follow her heart—a journey of self-discovery that will take her to Ireland, America, and then back to Britain where she finds the life she was always meant to lead. A bold and thoughtful story about a rebellious woman finding herself and her voice in an age of astounding technological change and great social unrest, Her Heart for a Compass is a delicious costume drama rich in atmosphere, history, and color that will thrill fans of Victoria and Bridgerton.  Includes a Q&A with Sarah Ferguson and her editor.

Title: The Raven Lady Series: #2 of The Faery Rehistory Series Author: Sharon Lynn Fisher Narrator: Alison Mckenna, Alan Smyth Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 49 minutes Release date: October 13, 2020 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: In the aftermath of Ireland’s battle with her ancient enemies, Queen Isolde orders her cousin, smuggler Duncan O’Malley, to assume the throne of fairy as King Finvara. He’s a fish out of water when it comes to nurturing the alliance between Ireland’s mortal and fairy peoples. And the queen wants him to wed the daughter of Ireland’s enemy, the king of Icelandic shadow elves, to help keep the peace. But the Irish think of the elves as goblins, and Finvara refuses. Elven princess Koli, affronted by the king’s rejection—along with his decision to bring her to court as little more than a captive—vows vengeance. Shortly after her arrival, she uncovers a plot that would bring swift satisfaction. A dark and powerful fairy lord, Far Dorocha, wants to take Finvara’s crown and lead both the fairy and elven people to war against the Irish. And he wants Koli to help him. It’s the perfect setup for revenge, but Koli soon discovers that Finvara’s not the haughty lord she believed him to be. And as she navigates treacherous waters inside the court, she gets glimpses of the magic and passion that have been slumbering inside her. She must choose a side in the new battle for Ireland—will it be the fearsome father she has served for nearly a century, or the fairy king who has helped awaken her to herself?

Title: Lady Joker, Volume 1 Series: #1 of Lady Joker Author: Marie Iida, Kaoru Takamura Narrator: Brian Nishii Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 20 hours 51 minutes Release date: April 13, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: One of Japan's great modern masters, Kaoru Takamura, makes her English-language debut with this two-volume publication of her magnum opus. Tokyo, 1995. Five men meet at the racetrack every Sunday to bet on horses. They have little in common except a deep disaffection with their lives, but together they represent the social struggles and griefs of post-War Japan: a poorly socialized genius stuck working as a welder; a demoted detective with a chip on his shoulder; a Zainichi Korean banker sick of being ostracized for his race; a struggling single dad of a teenage girl with Down syndrome. The fifth man bringing them all together is an elderly drugstore owner grieving his grandson, who has died suspiciously after the revelation of a family connection with the segregated buraku community, historically subjected to severe discrimination. Intent on revenge against a society that values corporate behemoths more than human life, the five conspirators decide to carry out a heist: kidnap the CEO of Japan's largest beer conglomerate and extract blood money from the company's corrupt financiers. Inspired by the unsolved true-crime kidnapping case perpetrated by 'the Monster with 21 Faces,' Lady Joker has become a cultural touchstone since its 1997 publication, acknowledged as the magnum opus by one of Japan's literary masters, twice adapted for film and TV and often taught in high school and college classrooms.

Title: In Love with George Eliot: A Novel Author: Kathy O’shaughnessy Narrator: Shiromi Arserio Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 23 minutes Release date: October 6, 2020 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Who was the real George Eliot? In Love with George Eliot is a glorious debut novel which tells the compelling story of England’s greatest woman novelist as you’ve never read it before. Marian Evans is a scandalous figure, living in sin with a married man, George Henry Lewes. She has shocked polite society, and women rarely deign to visit her. In secret, though, she has begun writing fiction under the pseudonym George Eliot. As Adam Bede’s fame grows, curiosity rises as to the identity of its mysterious writer. Gradually it becomes apparent that the moral genius Eliot is none other than the disgraced woman living with Lewes. Now Evans’ tremendous celebrity begins. The world falls in love with her. She is the wise and great writer, sent to guide people through the increasingly secular, rudderless century, and an icon to her progressive feminist peers—with whom she is often in disagreement. Public opinion shifts. Her scandalous cohabitation is forgiven. But this idyll is not secure and cannot last. When Lewes dies, Evans finds herself in danger of shocking the world all over again. Meanwhile, in another rudderless century, two women compete to arrive at an interpretation of Eliot as writer and as woman … Everyone who has thrilled at being shown the world anew by George Eliot will thrill again at her presence, complex and compelling, here.

There is nothing unusual or remarkable about the Swart family, oh no, they resemble the family from the next farm and the one beyond that, just an ordinary bunch of white South Africans, and if you don't believe it then listen to us speak ... The many voices of The Promise tell a story in four snapshots, each one centered on a family funeral, each one happening in a different decade. In the background, a different president is in power, and a different spirit hangs over the country, while in the foreground the family fights over what they call their farm, on a worthless piece of land outside Pretoria. Over large jumps in time, people get older, faces and laws and lives all change, while a brother and sister circle around a promise made long ago, and never kept ...

When her next-door neighbor, the beautiful art student Leonora, disappears under suspicious circumstances, Maite finds herself searching for the missing woman—and journeying deeper into Leonora’s secret life of student radicals and dissidents.  Mexico in the 1970s is a politically fraught land, even for Elvis, a goon with a passion for rock ’n’ roll who knows more about kidney-smashing than intrigue.

Title: [Italian] - Il Bargello Author: Carlos Pérez Casas Narrator: Alessandro Loi Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 15 minutes Release date: December 29, 2020 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Una storia di odio e compassione ambientato tra i più umili nella Spagna medievale.Aragona, inverno del 1134. Estranei al succedersi di re e corone, gli abitanti dei villaggi vivono le loro semplici vite. L'inverno non porta solo il freddo e la fame, ma anche la morte. Un gruppo di infami briganti, conosciuti come "gli albari", si è accampato nei pressi di Lacorvilla e progetta di attaccare il villaggio. Sancho il Nero è un povero carbonaio che cerca di sopravvivere meglio che può. Non condivide l'entusiasmo dei suoi compaesani all'idea di seguire il bargello nella lotta contro gli albari; non crede nella vittoria né nell'uomo che ha giustiziato suo padre. L'odio è reciproco, sono anni ormai che il bargello cerca un modo di scacciare il carbonaio dal paese. A qualunque prezzo. Nel bel mezzo di questa lotta per la sopravvivenza, un misterioso cavaliere arriverà al villaggio proclamandosi eroe e salvatore delle sorti del villaggio, ma in realtà vuole appropriarsi di quello a cui alcuni tengono di più. Cosa succederà quando scopriranno le sue intenzioni? Come andrà con i briganti? E quale sarà il ruolo delle donne, decise a non restare nell'ombra?

Title: The Turncoat Author: Siegfried Lenz Narrator: Grover Gardner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 15 minutes Release date: September 29, 2020 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Previously unpublished, this German postwar classic is one of the best books of this major writer, who died in 2014. The last summer before the end of World War II, Walter Proska is posted to a small unit tasked with ensuring the safety of a railway line deep in the forest on the border with Ukraine and Belarus. In this swampy region, a handful of men—stunned by the heat, attacked by mosquitoes, and abandoned by their own troops in the face of the Resistance—must also submit to the increasingly absurd and inhuman orders of their superior. Time passes, and the soldiers isolate themselves, haunted by madness and the desire for death. An encounter with a young Polish partisan, Wanda, makes Proska further doubt the validity of his oath of allegiance, and he seeks to answer the questions that obsess him: When conscience and duty clash, which is more important? Is it possible to take any action without becoming guilty in some way? And where is Wanda, this woman from the Resistance he can’t forget? A posthumous triumph, The Turncoat, written in 1951, is Siegfried Lenz’s second novel. Rejected by his publisher, who thought that the story of a German soldier defecting to the Soviet side would be unwelcome in the context of the Cold War, the manuscript was forgotten for nearly seventy years before being rediscovered after the author’s death.

Title: The Brief and True Report of Temperance Flowerdew: A Novel Author: Denise Heinze Narrator: Justine Eyre Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 25 minutes Release date: September 29, 2020 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Determined to set the historical record straight, and clear her conscience, Temperance Flowerdew—the wife of Virginia’s first two governors—puts quill to paper, recounting the hardships that nearly brought the Jamestown colony to its knees, and the extraordinary sacrifice of her servant girl, Lily. When she steps aboard the Falcon in 1609, Temperance Flowerdew is not only setting sail from England to the distant shores of America, she’s embarking upon a future of opportunity. She doesn’t yet know how she will make her mark, but in this new place she can do or be whatever she wants. Willing as she is to brave this new world, Temperance is utterly ill-equipped to survive the wilderness; all she knows is how to live inside the pages of adventure and philosophy books. Loyally at her side, Lily helps Temperance weather pioneer life. A young woman running from lifelong accusations of witchcraft, Lily finds friendship with Temperance and an acceptance of her psychic gifts. Together, they forge paths within the community: Temperance attempts to advise the makeshift government, while Lily experiences the blossoming of first love. But as the harsh winter approaches, Lily intuitively senses a darkness creep over the colony and the veneer of civilized life threatens to fall away—negotiations with the Indians grow increasingly hostile and provisions become scarce. Lily struggles to keep food on the table by foraging in the woods and being resourceful. Famine could mean the end of days. It’s up to Lily to save them both, but what sacrifice will be enough to survive? A transporting and evocative story, The Brief and True Report of Temperance Flowerdew is a fiercely hopeful novel—a portrait of two intrepid women who choose to live out their dreams of a future more free than the past.

She doesn’t yet know how she will make her mark, but in this new place she can do or be whatever she wants. Willing as she is to brave this new world, Temperance is utterly ill-equipped to survive the wilderness; all she knows is how to live inside the pages of adventure and philosophy books. Loyally at her side, Lily helps Temperance weather pioneer life. A young woman running from lifelong accusations of witchcraft, Lily finds friendship with Temperance and an acceptance of her psychic gifts. Together, they forge paths within the community: Temperance attempts to advise the makeshift government, while Lily experiences the blossoming of first love. But as the harsh winter approaches, Lily intuitively senses a darkness creep over the colony and the veneer of civilized life threatens to fall away—negotiations with the Indians grow increasingly hostile and provisions become scarce. Lily struggles to keep food on the table by foraging in the woods and being resourceful. Famine could mean the end of days. It’s up to Lily to save them both, but what sacrifice will be enough to survive? A transporting and evocative story, The Brief and True Report of Temperance Flowerdew is a fiercely hopeful novel—a portrait of two intrepid women who choose to live out their dreams of a future more free than the past.

Title: The Memoirs of Stockholm Sven Author: Nathaniel Ian Miller Narrator: Olafur Darri Olafsson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 52 minutes Release date: October 26, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: In this "briskly entertaining" (New York Times Book Review), "transporting and wholly original" (People Magazine) novel, one man banishes himself to a solitary life in the Arctic Circle, and is saved by good friends, a loyal dog, and a surprise visit that changes everything. In 1916, Sven Ormson leaves a restless life in Stockholm to seek adventure in Svalbard, an Arctic archipelago where darkness reigns four months of the year and he might witness the splendor of the Northern Lights one night and be attacked by a polar bear the next. But his time as a miner ends when an avalanche nearly kills him, leaving him disfigured, and Sven flees even further, to an uninhabited fjord. There, with the company of a loyal dog, he builds a hut and lives alone, testing himself against the elements. The teachings of a Finnish fur trapper, along with encouraging letters from his family and a Scottish geologist who befriended him in the mining camp, get him through his first winter. Years into his routine isolation, the arrival of an unlikely visitor salves his loneliness, sparking a chain of surprising events that will bring Sven into a family of fellow castoffs and determine the course of the rest of his life. Written with wry humor and in prose as breathtaking as the stark landscape it evokes, The Memoirs of Stockholm Sven is a testament to the strength of our human bonds, reminding us that even in the most inhospitable conditions on the planet, we are not beyond the reach of love. #1 Indie Next Pick Finalist for the Vermont Book Award Longlisted for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize Nathaniel Ian Miller Tue, 26 Oct 2021 02:50:26 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/495307 thebookvoice.com 10:52:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/495307]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Mrs England: The award-winning Sunday TImes bestseller from the winner of the Women's Prize Futures Award Author: Stacey Halls Narrator: Imogen Wilde Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 51 minutes Release date: June 10, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.44 of Total 9 Ratings of Narrator: 4 of Total 4 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Don't miss Stacey Halls' captivating new novel THE HOUSEHOLD - available to buy now! *WINNER of the WOMEN'S PRIZE FUTURES AWARD* A Waterstones Best Book of the Year Longlisted for the Walter Scott Prize Longlisted for the Portico Prize 'Highly atmospheric and tense' Richard Osman From the bestselling author of The Familiars and The Foundling comes Stacey Halls' most compelling and ambitious novel to date. 'Something's not right here.' I was aware of Mr Booth's eyes on me, and he seemed to hold his breath. 'What do you mean?' 'In the house. With the family.' West Yorkshire, 1904. When newly graduated nurse Ruby May takes a position looking after the children of Charles and Lilian England, a wealthy couple from a powerful dynasty of mill owners, she hopes it will be the fresh start she needs. But as she adapts to life at the isolated Hardcastle House, it becomes clear there's something not quite right about the beautiful, mysterious Mrs England. Distant and withdrawn, Lilian shows little interest in her children or charming husband, and is far from the 'angel of the house' Ruby was expecting. As the warm, vivacious Charles welcomes Ruby into the family, a series of strange events forces her to question everything she thought she knew. Ostracised by the servants and feeling increasingly uneasy, Ruby must face her demons in order to prevent history from repeating itself. After all, there's no such thing as the perfect family - and she should know. Simmering with slow-burning menace, Mrs England is a portrait of an Edwardian marriage, weaving an enthralling story of men and women, power and control, courage, truth and the very darkest deception. Set against the atmospheric West Yorkshire landscape, Stacey Halls' third novel proves her one of the most exciting and compelling new storytellers of our times.

Title: Glamour Girls Author: Marty Wingate Narrator: Henrietta Meire Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 46 minutes Release date: January 12, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Ever since she was ten years old, Rosalie Wright's eyes have been on the skies. But at the age of eighteen, on the verge of earning her pilot's license, the English farmer's daughter watches her dreams of becoming an aviatrix fly away without her. Britain's entry into World War II brings civilian aviation to a standstill. Then, Rosalie's father dies, leaving her, her mother, and her brothers to run the farm. Everything changes when she learns that the Air Transport Authority is recruiting women pilots to ferry warplanes across Britain to RAF bases. Despite her mother's objections, Rosalie cannot resist the call of her country—and the lure of the skies. During her training on Gipsy Moth aircraft, Rosalie forms a fast friendship with fellow flyer Caroline Andrews. With her trusty Ferry Pilots Notebook by her side, Rosalie delivers to five airfields a day—while fighting an endless battle against skeptical male pilots and ground crews. She would much rather spend her time on the wing than on the arm of any man... until she meets gruff pilot Snug Durrant and RAF squadron leader Alan Chersey. Snug is a cynical, wisecracking playboy, and Alan is every WAAF's heartthrob... and Rosalie catches both their eyes. As the war drags on and casualties mount, will love and tragedy send Rosalie's exhilarating airborne life crashing to the ground?

City of Time and Magic sees Xanthe face her greatest challenges yet. She must choose from three treasures that sing to her; a beautiful writing slope, a mourning brooch of heartbreaking detail, and a gorgeous gem-set hat pin. All call her, but the wrong one could take her on a mission other than that which she must address first, and the stakes could not be higher. While her earlier mission to Regency England had been a success, the journey home resulted in Liam being taken from her, spirited away to another time and place. Xanthe must follow the treasure that will take her to him if he is not to be lost forever. Xanthe is certain that Mistress Flyte has Liam and determined to find them both. But when she discovers Lydia Flyte has been tracking the actions of the Visionary Society, a group of ruthless and unscrupulous Spinners who have been selling their talents to a club of wealthy clients, Xanthe realizes her work as a Spinner must come before her personal wishes.

Inside a duffel bag, she carries a stone heart and a map that will lead her to Longcoat Bob, the deep-country sorcerer whom she believes cursed her family. Accompanying her are the most unlikely traveling companions: Greta, a razor-tongued actress, and Yukio, a Japanese fighter pilot who’s abandoned his post.  With messages from the skies above to guide them towards treasure, but foes close on their trail, the trio will encounter the beauty and vastness of the Northern Territory and survive in ways they never thought possible.  A story about the gifts that fall from the sky, curses we dig from the earth, and secrets we bury inside ourselves, Trent Dalton’s brilliantly imagined novel is an odyssey of true love and grave danger, of darkness and light, of bones and blue heavens. It is a love letter to Australia and an ode to the art of looking up—a buoyant and magical tale, filled to the brim with warmth, wit, and wonder.

Title: America's Dream: A Novel Author: Esmeralda Santiago Narrator: Esmeralda Santiago Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 24 minutes Release date: April 6, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: ''Lyrical [and] haunting, América’s liberating epiphany will have readers . . . on their feet and cheering.'' — Washington Post From the award-winning, best-selling author of When I Was Puerto Rican, América’s Dream explores the ever-shifting definition of what it means to be American and exemplifies the spirit of every immigrant who has dared to realize the American dream. América Gonzalez is a hotel housekeeper on Vieques, an island off the coast of Puerto Rico, cleaning up after wealthy foreigners who don’t look her in the eye. Her alcoholic mother resents her; her married boyfriend, Correa, beats her; and their fourteen-year-old daughter thinks life would be better anywhere but with América. So when América is offered the chance to work as a live-in housekeeper and nanny for a family in Westchester, New York, she takes it as a sign to finally make the escape she's been longing for.  Yet, even as América revels in the comparative luxury of her new life—daring to care about a man other than Correa—she is faced with the disquieting realization that no matter what she does, she can never really escape her past.

Title: 1972: A Novel of Ireland’s Unfinished Revolution Series: #4 of Irish Century Author: Morgan Llywelyn Narrator: Mil Nicholson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 21 minutes Release date: July 27, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: The Irish Century series is the narrative of the epic struggle of the Irish people for independence through the tumultuous twentieth century. In 1972, Morgan Llywelyn tells the story of Ireland from 1950-1972 as seen through the eyes of young Barry Halloran, son and grandson of Irish revolutionaries. Northern Ireland has become a running sore, poisoning life on both sides of the Irish border. Following family tradition, at eighteen Barry joins the Irish Republican Army to help complete what he sees as 'the unfinished revolution'. But things are no longer as clear cut as they once were. His first experience of violence in Northern Ireland shocks and disturbs him. Yet he has found a sense of family in the Army which is hard to give up. He makes a partial break by becoming a photographer, visually documenting events in the north rather than physically taking part in them. An unhappy early love affair is followed by a tempestuous relationship with Barbara Kavanagh, a professional singer from America. Events lead Barry into a totally different life from the one he expected, yet his allegiance to the ideal of a thirty-two county Irish republic remains undimmed as the problems, and the violence, of Northern Ireland escalate. Then Barry finds himself in the middle of the most horrific event of all: Bloody Sunday in Derry, 1972.

Title: 1949: A Novel of the Irish Free State Series: #3 of Irish Century Author: Morgan Llywelyn Narrator: Mil Nicholson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 41 minutes Release date: June 8, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Morgan Llywelyn's masterly epic, the Irish Century, continues in 1949, a sequel to 1916 and 1921. The struggle of the Irish people for independence is one of the compelling historical dramas of the twentieth century. 1949 tells the story of Ursula Halloran, a fiercely independent young woman who comes of age in the 1920s. The tragedy of Irish civil war gives way in the 1920s to a repressive Catholic state led by Eamon De Valera. Married women cannot hold jobs, divorce is illegal, and the IRA has become a band of outlaws still devoted to and fighting for a Republic that never lived. The Great Depression stalks the world, and war is always on the horizon, whether in Northern Ireland, Spain, or elsewhere on the European continent. Ursula works for the fledgling Irish radio service and then for the League of Nations, while her personal life is torn between two men: an Irish civil servant and an English pilot.

Title: A Play for the End of the World: A novel Author: Jai Chakrabarti Narrator: Brittany Pressley, Robert Petkoff Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 58 minutes Release date: September 7, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: A dazzling novel—set in early 1970's New York and rural India—the story of a turbulent, unlikely romance, a harrowing account of the lasting horrors of World War II, and a searing examination of one man's search for forgiveness and acceptance. “Looks deeply at the echoes and overlaps among art, resistance, love, and history ... an impressive debut.” —Meg Wolitzer, best-selling author of The Female Persuasion New York City, 1972. Jaryk Smith, a survivor of the Warsaw Ghetto, and Lucy Gardner, a southerner, newly arrived in the city, are in the first bloom of love when they receive word that Jaryk's oldest friend has died under mysterious circumstances in a rural village in eastern India.   Travelling there alone to collect his friend's ashes, Jaryk soon finds himself enmeshed in the chaos of local politics and efforts to stage a play in protest against the government—the same play that he performed as a child in Warsaw as an act of resistance against the Nazis. Torn between the survivor's guilt he has carried for decades and his feelings for Lucy (who, unbeknownst to him, is pregnant with his child), Jaryk must decide how to honor both the past and the present, and how to accept a happiness he is not sure he deserves.   An unforgettable love story, a provocative exploration of the role of art in times of political upheaval, and a deeply moving reminder of the power of the past to shape the present, A Play for the End of the World is a remarkable debut from an exciting new voice in fiction.

I was just enraptured by the lineage and the story of this modern African-American family. . . . I’ve never read anything quite like it. It just consumed me.'' —Oprah Winfrey The NAACP Image Award-winning poet makes her fiction debut with this magisterial epic—an intimate yet sweeping novel with all the luminescence and force of Homegoing; Sing, Unburied, Sing; and The Water Dancer—that chronicles the journey of one American family, from the centuries of the colonial slave trade through the Civil War to our own tumultuous era.  The great scholar, W. E. B. Du Bois, once wrote about the Problem of race in America, and what he called “Double Consciousness,” a sensitivity that every African American possesses in order to survive. Since childhood, Ailey Pearl Garfield has understood Du Bois’s words all too well. Bearing the names of two formidable Black Americans—the revered choreographer Alvin Ailey and her great grandmother Pearl, the descendant of enslaved Georgians and tenant farmers—Ailey carries Du Bois’s Problem on her shoulders. Ailey is reared in the north in the City but spends summers in the small Georgia town of Chicasetta, where her mother’s family has lived since their ancestors arrived from Africa in bondage. From an early age, Ailey fights a battle for belonging that’s made all the more difficult by a hovering trauma, as well as the whispers of women—her mother, Belle, her sister, Lydia, and a maternal line reaching back two centuries—that urge Ailey to succeed in their stead. To come to terms with her own identity, Ailey embarks on a journey through her family’s past, uncovering the shocking tales of generations of ancestors—Indigenous, Black, and white—in the deep South. In doing so Ailey must learn to embrace her full heritage, a legacy of oppression and resistance, bondage and independence, cruelty and resilience that is the story—and the song—of America itself.

Having dismissed his former valet, James Foster, for bringing him shaving water at 84 °F instead of 86 °F, Fogg hires a Frenchman by the name of Jean Passepartout as a replacement. At the Reform Club, Fogg gets involved in an argument over an article in The Daily Telegraph stating that with the opening of a new railway section in India, it is now possible to travel around the world in 80 days. He accepts a wager for £20,000 from his fellow club members, which he will receive if he makes it around the world in 80 days. Accompanied by Passepartout, he leaves London by train at 8:45 P.M. on Wednesday, October 2, 1872, and is due back at the Reform Club at the same time 80 days later, Saturday, December 21, 1872.

Seattle, 1897. Anna Denton is not like the other prospectors traveling to the Yukon on the promise of riches. It’s duty—not profit—that calls her into the wild unknown. With her family nearing financial ruin, Anna has agreed to marry Henry Bradwell, the wealthy King of the Klondike. She meets Will and Silas, childhood friends, on the steamer north. After the ship docks in a lawless Alaska town, Anna’s chaperones run afoul of local criminals, leaving her stranded. Will and Silas agree to escort her the hundreds of treacherous miles to Dawson City—the gateway to the goldfields—and her betrothed, a man she doesn’t know. Upon their arrival, Bradwell warmly welcomes them all. But as a brutal winter sets in, relations sour, and Anna is caught between the promise her family made to the power-hungry Bradwell and her feelings for Will. Anna and her companions soon find themselves in a deadly game where few can be trusted and where the greatest danger in the frozen wilderness of the Klondike is man himself.

Title: Debs In Canton Author: Yale Strom, Elizabeth Schwartz Narrator: Micah Gellert, Doug Shapiro, P. J. Ochlan, Melinda Peterson, Phil Proctor, Robert Fass, Anne Bobby, L.J. Ganser Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 57 minutes Release date: September 15, 2020 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Debs In Canton is original historical audio fiction. On June 16, 1918, America’s leading voice of conscience, Eugene Victor Debs, stepped onto a stage in Canton, Ohio, and gave a soul-stirring speech against American intervention in WWI. He did so knowing the cost would be severe: Debs was charged with violating the Espionage Act of 1917 and sentenced to ten years in a federal penitentiary for sedition. The sixty-three-year-old cofounder of the Socialist Party of America ran for president from his jail cell in 1920. He received nearly a million votes. Debs was an architect of FDR’s New Deal policy that saved the American working class and gave the middle class a chance to build a better and more just life. Today, he is known as being a personal hero to contemporary political thinkers like Bernie Sanders. To those who knew him as “The Man From Terre Haute,” Debs was a simple man, an extraordinary writer and orator, and an energetic believer in the best of humanity and the promise of this great nation. Debs’s unwavering social conscience and his deeply held Christian faith created the foundation of his political philosophy. But it has never been easy for any man to risk everything—from his possessions, his family, his freedom, or his health—to do what he knows is right. Debs’s crisis is dramatized in Debs In Canton, a new work of audio fiction from SueMedia Productions and MidSummer Sound Company that looks at what his life might have been like in the months leading up to this seminal moment in American history.

Title: The Girls from Alexandria Author: Carol Cooper Narrator: Laura Hanna Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 30 minutes Release date: April 1, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Memories are fragile when you are seventy years old. I can't afford to lose any more of them, not when remembering the past might help with the here and now. Nadia needs help. Help getting out of her hospital bed. Help taking her pills. One thing she doesn't need help with is remembering her sister. But she does need help finding her. Alone and abandoned in a London hospital, 70-year-old Nadia is facing the rest of her life spent in a care home unless she can contact her sister Simone… who's been missing for 50 years. Despite being told she's ‘confused' and not quite understanding how wi-fi works, Nadia is determined to find Simone. So with only cryptic postcards and her own jumbled memories of growing up in Egypt to go on, Nadia must race against her fading faculties and track down her sister before she herself is forgotten. Set against the lush and glamorous backdrop of 20th century Alexandria, Carol Cooper's third novel is equal parts contemporary mystery and historical fiction: a coming of age story about family, identity, and homeland.

Every year she escapes for a few weeks to beautiful Greek islands, losing herself in photography and wreck diving. When the junk room of her clifftop cottage is cleared to accommodate a carer for her father, Summer stumbles across the belongings of her great-grandmother, Gertie Smith. She finds a WWI nurse's uniform, a soldier's blanket, and a recording of Gertie's memoirs. As Summer listens to it, she learns about her great-grandmother's secret life, and might just find the strength to let go of her own tragic past. 1916 When eighteen-year-old nurse Gertie Smith signs up for the war effort, she is thrilled to learn that her destination will be Greece. With a head full of blue skies and handsome men, she boards the Titanic's sister ship, the hospital ship Britannic. Unprepared for the horrors of war, she heads for the Greek island of Lemnos on a mission to rescue three thousand wounded British soldiers. The Britannic never reaches its destination. Gertie, who disobeyed her orders, blames herself. She is sent to the Greek island of Kea, where she meets and falls in love with a Greek fisherman, Manno - but she finds herself torn between him and her duty to an English soldier, and all too soon her past catches up with her.

Exquisitely researched, beautifully told, this tiny corner of Scotland came alive for me in all of my senses and I found myself rooting for the central characters with all my heart.”     —Mary Beth Keane, author of Ask Again, Yes In the dark days of World War II, an unlikely romance blossoms between a Scottish woman and an Italian prisoner of war in this haunting novel with the emotional complexity of The Boat Runner and All the Light We Cannot See—a powerful and atmospheric story of love, jealousy, and conscience that illuminates the beauty of the human spirit from the author of The Glass Woman. In the wake of the Allies’ victory in North Africa, 1,000 Italian soldiers have been sent to a remote island off the Scottish coast to wait out the war. Their arrival has divided the island’s community. Nerves frayed from three years of war and the constant threat of invasion, many locals fear the enemy prisoners and do not want them there. Where their neighbors see bloodthirsty enemies, however, orphaned sisters Dorothy and Constance see sick and wounded men unused to the freezing cold of an Orkney winter, and volunteer to nurse them. While doing so Dorothy finds herself immediately drawn to Cesare, a young man broken by the horrors of battle. But as the war drags on, tensions between the islanders and the outsiders deepen, and Dorothy’s connection to Cesare threatens the bond she shares with Constance. Since the loss of their parents, the sisters have relied on each other. Now, their loyalty will be tested, each forced to weigh duty against desire . . . until, one fateful evening, a choice must be made, one that that will have devastating consequences.

Living on the island of Cyprus, Nisha is far from her native Sri Lanka. Though she longs to return home, she knows that working as a “maid” for a wealthy widow is the only way to earn enough to support her daughter, left behind to be raised by relatives. Yiannis is a poacher, trapping the tiny protected songbirds that stop in Cyprus as they migrate each year from Africa to Europe and selling them on the illegal market. He dreams of finding a new way of life, and of marrying Nisha. But one night, Nisha makes dinner, an aromatic dahl curry, for the family who pays her: Petra and her daughter Aliki. Then, after she cleans the kitchen and tucks Aliki into bed, Nisha goes out on a mysterious errand, and vanishes. When the police refuse to pursue the case, Petra takes on the investigation herself, a path that leads her to Nisha’s friends—other workers in the neighborhood—and to the darker side of a migrant’s life, where impossible choices leave them vulnerable, captive, and worse. Inspired by the real-life disappearance of domestic workers in Cyprus, Christy Lefteri has crafted a poignant, deeply empathetic narrative of the human stories behind the headlines. With infinite tenderness and skill, Songbirds offers a triumphant story of the fight for truth and justice, and of women reclaiming their lost voices.

Title: The Magician: Winner of the Rathbones Folio Prize Author: Colm Tóibín Narrator: Gunnar Cauthery Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 37 minutes Release date: September 23, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 2 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE RATHBONES FOLIO PRIZE 2022 SHORTLISTED FOR THE WALTER SCOTT PRIZE FOR HISTORICAL FICTION 2022 From one of our greatest living writers comes a sweeping novel of unrequited love and exile, war and family. The Magician tells the story of Thomas Mann, whose life was filled with great acclaim and contradiction. He would find himself on the wrong side of history in the First World War, cheerleading the German army, but have a clear vision of the future in the second, anticipating the horrors of Nazism. He would have six children and keep his homosexuality hidden; he was a man forever connected to his family and yet bore witness to the ravages of suicide.

In Journey To Eunomia, he will match his will to live against the two competing religions. It begins when Abdul Rahman, a falsely accused and brutally punished advisor to a powerful Caliph is pardoned. Weakened by torture and near madness, the Caliph orders Abdul to choose a servant from the Wadi as Surr rock quarry near Yanbo. His eyes stop on Uka and together they embark on a quest of unparalleled danger, across deserts and seas to the eastern coast of Greece. Through a twist of fate, they meet Doreius, his ship confiscated in Alexandria during the Muslim invasion, and his crew murdered.

Title: Tussaud Author: Belinda Lyons-Lee Narrator: Louise Amos Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 24 minutes Release date: April 1, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Thrilling, eerie, fun, and psychologically compelling, Tussaud cleverly blurs the line between history and the fantastical to create a Gothic delight of mysterious mansions, grimy London streets, stage magicians, wax-work automatons, secrets and subterfuges. MARY SHELLEY would be proud.' H.G. Parry, author of The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep Paris, 1810. Haunted by the French Revolution, Marie Tussaud has locked herself away in her shop with the death masks she was forced to make to avoid the guillotine. Philidor, a famous magician, offers her the chance to accompany him to London to assist in creating a wax automaton that will bring them both money and success. Following a disastrous performance on their opening night in which the wax on their prized spectacle melts, the eccentric Duke, William Cavendish, invites them to his rambling estate, Welbeck, where he suggests they take up residence, use his underground ballroom for a new show and in return create a private commission for him: a wax automaton in the likeness of Elanor, a beautiful girl who mysteriously disappeared from the estate when he was a child. In this delicious novel of twists and turns, Welbeck, with its locked doors and rooms, is full of secrets and no-one is who they seem. There is the seductive aura of Shelley, Dickens and Du Maurier in Tussaud. Marie must fight for survival in a world dominated by male advantage and power in a mesmerising story filled with wisdom about human behaviour and motivations. ‘Lies, treasons and twists will lure and enthral the reader. At the heart of Tussaud a mysterious automaton challenges the limits of its physical body, craving for a conscience. The listener is in for wondrous ride as Belinda Lyons-Lee poignantly captures Marie Tussaud's proud self-denial, her struggle to achieve independence in a world dominated by con-artists, and her rare talent to create the most perfect illusion of life.'

Title: The Paper Daughters of Chinatown Author: Heather B. Moore Narrator: Nancy Wu Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 13 minutes Release date: September 1, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 5 Ratings of Narrator: 3.75 of Total 4 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: A powerful story based on true events surrounding Donaldina Cameron and other brave women who fought to help Chinese-American women escape discrimination and slavery in the late 19th century in California. When Donaldina Cameron arrives at the Occidental Mission Home for Girls in 1895, she intends to teach sewing skills to young Chinese women immigrants, but, within days, she discovers that the job is much more complicated than perfect stitches and even hems. San Francisco has a dark side, one where a powerful underground organization—the criminal tong—brings Chinese young women to America to sell them as slaves. With the help of Chinese interpreters and the Chinatown police squad, Donaldina becomes a tireless social reformer to stop the abominable slave and prostitution trade. Mei Lien believes she is sailing to the “Gold Mountain” in America to become the wife of a rich Chinese man. Instead she finds herself sold into prostitution—beaten, starved, and forced into an opium addiction. It is only after a narrow escape that she hears of the mission home and dares to think there might be hope for a new life. The Paper Daughters of Chinatown throws new light on the age-old scourge of human trafficking. The heroes who fought this evil and the victims who triumphed over it more than a hundred years ago offer a bright example of courage and determination for anyone wishing for a better world.

Title: A Door between Us Author: Ehsaneh Sadr Narrator: Vaneh Assadourian Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 16 minutes Release date: September 1, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Weddings always have their fair share of drama, but this one comes on the heels of the highly controversial 2009 Iranian election and ensuing Green Wave protests. When the matriarch of Sarah’s family arranged her marriage to Ali, it was with the intention of uniting two compatible families. However, as the 2009 election becomes contentious, political differences emerge and Sarah’s conservative family tries to call off the wedding. Sarah and Ali, however, have fallen in love and, against the wishes of their parents, insist on going through with the marriage. Sarah’s cousin, Sadegh, is a staunch supporter of the government and a member of the Basij, the volunteer militia tasked with arresting protestors and shutting down speech against the regime. Meanwhile, Ali’s sister, Azar, is an activist, a divorce attorney, and a passionate Green Wave supporter, trying to enact change in a way that many Iranians see as inflammatory. When Sarah impulsively shelters a protestor in their car on the drive home from her wedding, she sets off a chain of events that can either unmask the government’s brutality or ruin them all. Sarah, Sadegh, and Azar’s stories weave together in an unflinching, humorous, and at times terrifying story that demonstrates that, even as the world is falling apart around us, choices matter.

Title: The Mystery of Edwin Drood: A full-cast BBC dramatisation with a brand new ending Author: Charles Dickens Narrator: Iwan Davies, Joel Mccormack, Isabella Inchbald, Pippa Nixon, Rachel Atkins, Full Cast Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 16 minutes Release date: February 18, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: A thrilling radio re-imagining telling the story of Charles Dickens' last days, and providing a brand new conclusion to his famous unfinished novel April, 1870. Bone-weary, sick, and struggling with a hidden guilt, Charles Dickens is grappling with what will be his final book - The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Two months later, he is dead, and the novel remains unfinished: only 6 of the 12 planned instalments had been completed. Centring around the title character, whose sudden disappearance throws the town of Cloisterham into a panic, the story introduces us to a host of potential suspects who could have caused him harm. Edwin's fiancée, Rosa Bud, was having second thoughts about their engagement; his uncle, John Jasper, was known to be jealous of him; and orphan twins Neville and Helena Landless had both tangled with Edwin too. Rumours of murder abound, but his fate is left unanswered... Set in a phantasmagorical, drug-fuelled landscape where nobody is who or what they claim to be, and motives are more tangled than the alleyways of the nightmare city where the action unfolds, this compelling mystery is one of the greatest puzzles of literature. In this new, fast-moving and impressionistic retelling, we track Dickens as he works on the novel in the weeks before his death, and follow his daughter Kate as she strives to solve the mystery of who killed Drood - and understand the demon that drove her father to fatal exhaustion. Also included is a bonus documentary, The Mystery of the Mystery of Edwin Drood, in which Frances Fyfield uses her crime-writer's insights to try and find out what really happened to Dickens' eponymous hero.

He is on a secret mission for the young Pretender Bonnie Prince Charlie, but before he can deliver a vital coded letter to a fellow Jacobite, he is attacked on a lonely Highland road and left for dead. After regaining consciousness, he discovers that the incriminating letter is missing. Who has stolen it and why? And how did they know he was carrying it? Meanwhile, Ewen's kinsman, Doctor Archibald Cameron, has returned to the Highlands to seek further financial support for the Jacobite cause, knowingly putting himself and anyone associated with him in mortal danger. A notorious supporter of Bonnie Prince Charlie, he is an outlaw in his own country and the English Army are determined to find and arrest him for treason - for which the penalty is death.

With action, historical adventure and lyrical descriptions of the Scottish Highlands, The Gleam in the North is sure to appeal to fans of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series and Peter May's Lewis trilogy.

Two years have passed since the tragic events of The Gleam in the North and Ewen Cameron's wife Alison is awaiting the birth of their third child in Ardroy while Ewen visits his cousin Ian Stewart at his great Uncle Alexander's home at Ivernacree. Ian is now heir to the estate, having lost his older brother Alan at Culloden, where they were betrayed by their archenemy, Campbell of Cairns. Ian is under pressure from his father to marry and secure an heir. But he can't forget the old prophecy from a spae-woman about how he will fall in love with "a woman who is not what she seemed".

Ian offers them a warm welcome at his home while Olivia recuperates. Captivated by the girl, Ian is distraught when he discovers her true identity: Beautiful, charming Olivia is a Campbell, daughter of the despised traitor, Campbell of Cairns - which means she can never be his.

Title: The Eternal Audience of One Author: Rémy Ngamije Narrator: Michael Boatman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 21 minutes Release date: August 10, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: “Meet the future of African literature” (Mukoma Wa Ngugi, author of Nairobi Heat) with this “gorgeous, wildly funny, and, above all, profoundly moving and humane” (Peter Orner, author of Am I Alone Here) coming-of-age tale following a young man who is forced to flee his homeland of Rwanda and make sense of his reality. Nobody ever makes it to the start of a story, not even the people in it. The most one can do is make some sort of start and then work toward some kind of ending. One might as well start with Séraphin: playlist-maker, nerd-jock hybrid, self-appointed merchant of cool, Rwandan, stifled and living in Namibia. Soon he will leave the confines of his family life for the cosmopolitan city of Cape Town, where loyal friends, hormone-saturated parties, adventurous conquests, and race controversies await. More than that, his long-awaited final year in law school promises to deliver a crucial puzzle piece of the Great Plan immigrant: a degree from a prestigious university. But a year is more than the sum of its parts, and en route to the future, the present must be lived through and even the past must be survived in this “hilarious and heartbreaking” (Adam Smyer, author of Knucklehead) intersection of pre- and post-1994 Rwanda, colonial and post-independence Windhoek, Paris and Brussels in the 70s, Nairobi public schools, and the racially charged streets of Cape Town. “Visually striking and beautiful told with youthful energy and hard-won wisdom” (Rabeah Ghaffari, author of To Keep the Sun Alive), The Eternal Audience of One is a lyrical and piquant tale of family, migration, friendship, war, identity, and race that will sweep you off your feet.

Title: The Silent Madonna Series: #2 of Santa Lucia Author: Michelle Damiani Narrator: Nicol Zanzarella Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 56 minutes Release date: June 8, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: A ruined castle. A town picking up the pieces. And a mysterious stranger who could change everything. The fire may be out, but smoke and suspicion still linger in Santa Lucia. Though the townspeople still gather for espresso at the town café and swap recipes at the butcher shop, their iridescent blue sky is clouded by a veil of uncertainty and mistrust. The statue of the Madonna, set in a wall outside the café, watches it all in collected silence. But when New Yorker Alessandro arrives to claim his inheritance—the derelict castle and the charred olive trees that surround it—it unearths secrets thought long buried. His renovation plans set off a chain reaction of dangerous relationships and forbidden romance while exposing explosive truths—not just for himself, but for all the people who call this village home. Can the power of the Madonna save Alessandro and the villagers? Or will the truths brought to the surface trap Santa Lucia in an inescapable web of deceit and anger?

Title: The Approaching Fury: Voices of the Storm, 1820-1861 Author: Stephen B. Oates Narrator: David Sadzin, Susan Ericksen, David Colacci Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 22 hours 30 minutes Release date: May 11, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Biographer and historian Stephen B. Oates tells the story of the coming of the American Civil War through the voices and perspectives of thirteen principal players in the drama, from Thomas Jefferson and Henry Clay in the Missouri crisis of 1820 down to Stephen A. Douglas, Jefferson Davis, and Abraham Lincoln in the final crisis of 1861. This innovative approach shows the crucial role that perception of events played in the sectional hostilities that pushed the United States irreversibly toward a national calamity. Nat Turner, William Lloyd Garrison, John C. Calhoun, Frederick Douglass, Harriet Beecher Stowe, George Fitzhugh, John Brown, and Mary Boykin Chesnut also provide perspectives. Each character takes a turn onstage, narrating critical events in which he or she was a major participant or eyewitness. For the dramatic monologues, Oates draws on the actual words of his speakers—in letters, speeches, interviews, recollections, and other recorded utterances—and then simulates how, were they reminiscing aloud, they would describe these events in which they were the principal actors or witnesses. All the events and themes reflect the historical record. Stephen B.

Title: Washington, D.C.: A Novel Series: #6 of Narratives of Empire Author: Gore Vidal Narrator: Grover Gardner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 57 minutes Release date: December 31, 2019 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Washington, D.C., is the final installment in Gore Vidal's Narratives of Empire,his acclaimed six-volume series of historical novels about the American past. It offers an illuminating portrait of our republic from the time of the New Deal to the McCar-thy era. Widely regarded as Vidal's ultimate comment on how the American political system degrades those who participate in it, Washington, D.C. is a stunning tale of corruption and diseased ambitions. It traces the fortunes of James Burden Day, a powerful conservative senator who is eyeing the presidency; Clay Overbury, a pragmatic young congressional aide with political aspirations of his own; and Blaise Sanford, a ruthless newspaper tycoon who understands the importance of money and image in modern politics. With characteristic wit and insight, Vidal chronicles life in the nation's capital at a time when these men and others transformed America into 'possibly the last empire on earth.' 'Washington, D.C. may well be the finest of contemporary novels about the capital,' said The New Yorker, and the Times Literary Supplement deemed it 'a prodigiously skilled and clever performance.'

Title: Basil's War Author: Stephen Hunter Narrator: James Cameron Stewart Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 45 minutes Release date: May 4, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.72 of Total 54 Ratings of Narrator: 3.5 of Total 8 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Basil St. Florian is an accomplished agent in the British Army, tasked with dozens of dangerous missions for crown and country across the globe. But his current mission, going undercover in Nazi-occupied France during World War II, might be his toughest assignment yet. He will be searching for an ecclesiastic manuscript that doesn't officially exist, one that genius professor Alan Turing believes may hold the key to a code that could prevent the death of millions and possibly even end the war. St. Florian isn't the classic British special agent with a stiff upper lip—he is a swashbuckling, whisky-drinking cynic and thrill-seeker who resents having to leave Vivien Leigh's bed to set out on his crucial mission. Despite these proclivities, though, Basil's Army superiors know he's the best man for the job, carrying out his espionage with enough charm and quick wit to make any of his subjects lower their guards. Action-packed and bursting with WWII–era intrigue (much of which has basis in fact), Basil's War is a classic espionage thriller from Pulitzer Prize–winning critic, essayist, and bestselling novelist Stephen Hunter.

Title: The Blackmailer's Guide to Love Author: Marian Thurm Narrator: Rebecca Gibel Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 13 minutes Release date: May 25, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: One of the many well-educated Ivy League graduates with literary ambitions who flock to New York City every year, twenty-five-year-old Melissa Fleischer has the great fortune to work as the assistant to Austin Bloch, an editor responsible for refining and publishing the work of some of America's most esteemed writers. But after she begins working at this prestigious magazine in the late 1970s, Mel soon learns that the extravagantly long lunches her boss indulges in actually belie his affairs with a stream of young women. Mel is left in the distressing position of lying about these never-ending betrayals to Austin's wife, Hillarie, who often calls while he is out of the office. But then, unexpectedly, the New Yorker begins publishing Mel's short stories, offering a spectacular start to what she hopes will be a long and fruitful writing career. Unfortunately, the exhilaration of being published by the magazine she reveres most is soon diminished both by Mel's deeply painful discovery that her own marriage—like Austin's—is far from idyllic, and her continuing complicity in Austin's betrayals. And nothing seems more difficult than the effort it will take to keep her marriage from falling apart.

Title: [Spanish] - Las fuentes del silencio: Ruta Sepetys, la autora que da voz a las personas olvidadas por la historia Author: Ruta Sepetys Narrator: Maite Jáuregui Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 39 minutes Release date: July 27, 2020 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: En plena época del colaboracionismo con Estados Unidos, España recibe una multitud de turistas y empresarios extranjeros que llegan al país tras la reciente apertura económica. Entre ellos se encuentra el joven Daniel Matheson, hijo de un magnate del petróleo de Texas que llega a Madrid junto a sus padres. El destino de Daniel, que aspira a convertirse en fotoperiodista, se cruza con el de Ana, una doncella del hotel Castellana Hilton que proviene de una familia devastada por la Guerra Civil. Las fotografías de Daniel revelan el rostro oscuro de la posguerra, despiertan en él preguntas incómodas y lo condicionan a la hora de tomar decisiones difíciles para proteger a las personas que ama. Ruta Sepetys vuelve a poner el foco en uno de los rincones más oscuros de la Historia con esta novela épica sobre el miedo, la identidad, los amores que no se olvidan y la voz oculta del silencio. 'Una novela impresionante que exalta la resiliencia humana.' Kirkus 'Ficción histórica cautivadora, ilustrativa y hábilmente narrada.' Booklist 'Un retrato memorable de la España de la posguerra.'

Title: [Spanish] - No sé cómo amarte: Cartas de María Magdalena a Jesús de Nazaret Author: Pedro Miguel Lamet Narrator: Inmaculada Villalonga Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 59 minutes Release date: May 14, 2019 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Después de la crucifixión y muerte de Jesús, María de Magdala envía a María de Nazaret unos papiros que dirigió al Maestro y nunca se atrevió a entregarle. En estas cartas manuscritas relata, con lenguaje íntimo y apasionado, confidencias de su azarosa vida antes de conocerle y su radical transformación tras el encuentro de ambos en Galilea. Nacida en Magdala e hija de un rico comerciante en salazón de pescado, que maltrataba a su madre, todavía adolescente se ve obligada a huir y atravesar duras y arriesgadas situaciones: desde un lupanar en Cesarea Marítima a la humillación de ser vendida como esclava, favorita del rey de los nabateos y famosa bailarina en Tiberíades, pasando por el amor de un centurión romano, la explotación de una banda de beduinos en el desierto y la amistad de un sabio griego y un médico judío. Fascinada por Jesús, que la cura de sus dolencias, se convierte en su más fiel seguidora hasta su muerte y resurrección. Estas cartas pretenden retratar la psicología de una mujer buscadora, libre y compleja, ante la trágica experiencia de un amor tan espiritualmente grande como humanamente imposible, que la supera y la sublima. Con esta nueva novela, Pedro Miguel Lamet se sirve del intimista género epistolar para relatar en primera persona una singular visión del evangelio desde la óptica de una mujer maltratada y enamorada. Al mismo tiempo pretende, con sus hallazgos y respuestas, ofrecer una liberadora vía de ayuda, consuelo y crecimiento interior a cuantos, desde la soledad, el dolor y la marginación, se enfrentan hoy con los envites de un mundo cruel e injusto. Un relato entre la aventura humana y la espiritualidad bíblica, que atrapa al lector desde el principio.

Title: Hyde: A Novel Author: Craig Russell Narrator: James Cosmo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 12 minutes Release date: September 28, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: From the internationally acclaimed author, a stunning gothic reimagining of the Jekyll and Hyde story in which Captain Edward Hyde, chief detective of Victorian Edinburgh, investigates a gruesome murder that may unmask his own darkest secret   Victorian Edinburgh. Captain Edward Henry Hyde is chief detective for the City of Edinburgh Police; as such, he is responsible for investigating all murders and serious crimes in the city. Hyde is a striking but severe-looking man who provokes unease, and often fear, in those who encounter him. Nevertheless, Edward Hyde is truly a good man ...  though he wrestles fiercely with his own unique demons. When Hyde finds himself at the scene of a heinous murder, with no idea of how he got there or the events leading up to the discovery, his alarm is triggered on two levels. First, the crime scene is brutal and involves the Threefold Death, an ancient Celtic rite of sacrifice entangled with dark Scottish spiritual mythology. Second, Hyde's inability to remember any detail of his arrival at the crime scene makes him immediately fret about the secret he keeps from all but his physician: He suffers from a rare form of epilepsy that causes him to lose time—amnesiac absences where he cannot account for his actions—and nocturnal seizures that manifest themselves as vivid and lucid dreams.   As Hyde begins his investigation of the murder in a city on edge, he finds himself not only searching for real world clues, but trying to unravel the significance of the imagery in the otherworld of his dreaming. His investigation leads to the very places he fears, but has never fully imagined.
