Title: Mademoiselle Eiffel: A Novel Author: Aimie K. Runyan Narrator: Caroline Hewitt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 16 minutes Release date: September 10, 2024 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: From the author of The School for German Brides and A Bakery in Paris, this captivating historical novel set in nineteenth-century Paris tells the story of Claire Eiffel, a woman who played a significant role in maintaining her family’s legacy and their iconic contributions to the city of Paris. Claire Eiffel, the beautiful, brilliant eldest daughter of the illustrious architect Gustave Eiffel, is doted upon with an education envied by many sons of the upper classes, and entirely out of the reach of most daughters. Claire’s idyllic childhood ends abruptly when, at fourteen, her mother passes away. It’s soon made clear that Gustave expects Claire to fill her mother’s place as caregiver to the younger children and as manager of their home. As she proves her competence, Claire’s importance to her father grows. She accompanies him on his travels and becomes his confidante and private secretary. She learns her father’s architectural trade and becomes indispensable to his work. But when his bright young protégé, Adolphe Salles, takes up more of Gustave’s time, Claire resents being pushed aside. Slowly, the animosity between Claire and Adolphe turns to friendship…and then to something more. After their marriage in 1885 preserves the Eiffel legacy, they are privileged by the biggest commission of Eiffel’s career: a great iron tower dominating the 1889 World’s Fair to demonstrate the leading role of Paris in the world of art and architecture. Now hostess to the scientific elite, such as Thomas Edison, Claire is under the watchful eye not only of her family and father’s circle, but also the world. When Gustave Eiffel’s involvement in a disastrous endeavor to build a canal in Panama ends in his imprisonment, it is up to Claire to secure her father’s freedom but also preserve the hard-won family legacy. Claire Eiffel’s story of love, devotion, and the frantic pursuit to preserve her family’s legacy is not only an inspired reflection of real personages and historical events, but a hymn to the iconic tower that dominates the City of Lights.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/712229Tue, 10 Sep 2024 00:20:35 +0000kathryPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/712229 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Small Bomb At Dimperley Author: Lissa Evans Narrator: Lucy Briers Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 27 minutes Release date: September 5, 2024 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Discover the heartwarming, witty, and poignant new historical novel about changing (sometimes reluctantly) with the times set in the aftermath of WW2, perfect for fans of Maggie O'Farrell and Rachel Joyce. It's 1945, and Corporal Valentine Vere-Thissett, aged 23, is on his way home. But ‘home’ is Dimperley, built in the 1500s, vast and dilapidated, up to its eaves in debt and half-full of fly-blown taxidermy and dependent relatives, the latter clinging to a way of life that has gone forever. And worst of all - following the death of his heroic older brother - Valentine is now Sir Valentine, and is responsible for the whole bloody place. To Valentine, it’s a millstone; to Zena Baxter, who has never really had a home before being evacuated there with her small daughter, it’s a place of wonder and sentiment, somewhere that she can’t bear to leave. But Zena has been living with a secret, and the end of the war means she has to face a reckoning of her own… Funny, sharp and touching, Small Bomb at Dimperley is both a love story and a bittersweet portrait of an era of profound loss, and renewal.

Title: The Voyage Home Author: Pat Barker Narrator: Kristin Atherton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 36 minutes Release date: August 22, 2024 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. The exhilarating follow-up to Pat Barker's The Women of Troy and The Silence of the Girls After ten blood-filled years, the war is over. Troy lies in smoking ruins as the victorious Greeks fill their ships with the spoils of battle. Alongside the treasures looted are the many Trojan women captured by the Greeks – among them the legendary prophetess Cassandra, and her watchful maid, Ritsa. Enslaved as concubine – war-wife – to King Agamemnon, Cassandra is plagued by visions of his death – and her own – while Ritsa is forced to bear witness to both Cassandra’s frenzies and the horrors to come. Meanwhile, awaiting the fleet’s return is Queen Clytemnestra, vengeful wife of Agamemnon. Heart-shattered by her husband’s choice to sacrifice their eldest daughter to the gods in exchange for a fair wind to Troy, she has spent this long decade plotting retribution, in a palace haunted by child-ghosts. As one wife journeys toward the other, united by the vision of Agamemnon’s death, one thing is certain: this long-awaited homecoming will change everyone’s fates forever.

He's every bit as handsome as she had heard, and it's a struggle for Stephanie to maintain her composure in the presence of his overpowering virility. Perry warned her that Brock's seductive air hid a heart of stone, but Stephanie never expected she would be willing to throw caution to the wind for just a moment in those arms.]]>1805cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/pink-glass-houses-a-novel-by-asha-elias--65267508https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/713579 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Pink Glass Houses: A Novel Author: Asha Elias Narrator: André Santana, Helen Laser, John Pirhalla, Stacy Gonzalez, Jane Oppenheimer, Michael Crouch, Amy Landon, Andi Arndt, Saskia Maarleveld, Robin Miles Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 18 minutes Release date: July 30, 2024 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: “Delicious, decadent, and utterly diabolical. No one serves up a scandal like Asha Elias.”—Kirsten Miller, author of The Change A seductive social satire about the wealthy PTA moms of an elite elementary school in Miami Beach, Pink Glass Houses is very Big Little Lies and Pineapple Street, but with diamonds, a tan, and a glass of rosé. There’s a reason people call Miami Beach “a sunny place for shady people.” Welcome to Sunset Academy, the most coveted elementary school in Miami Beach, where there are three categories of families: rich, wealthy, and ultra-wealthy. Perfectly tanned and smiling Charlotte Giordani is Sunset Academy’s alpha mom. With a sleek blowout and relentless charm, Charlotte’s brashness serves her well. She’s up for election as the PTA president and is riding high, having just secured a massive donation from billionaire Don Walker and his socialite wife Patricia. Don and Patricia are philanthropists, media darlings, and the owners of Villa Rosé, a newly built modern glass house that everyone is talking about. (It’s either spectacular or a tacky eyesore, depending on how you feel about billionaires.) Enter Melody Howard, a wide-eyed transplant from Wichita, Kansas. At first a skeptic about Miami Beach and its endlessly hashtaggable social scene, Melody finds herself sucked into the glossy, frenetic world of Sunset Academy moms. Melody’s easygoing manner and background in nonprofit management make her an asset to the PTA. But when she emerges as a rival for the PTA presidency, Charlotte begins to unravel. Even the most powerful players on the social scene prove to be vulnerable when an investigation into white-collar crime—triggered by another school mom, the formidable Jamaican-American Judge Carol Lawson—threatens to take down the whole institution. No amount of rosé can soothe tensions as the drama builds to a shocking crisis point. Told in rotating first person voices, Pink Glass Houses is an irresistibly voyeuristic peek into the lives of the rich and infamous, where cocaine playdates, $100,000 kiddie birthday parties, and relentless social climbing are a way of life.  ''Asha Elias takes us on a wildly entertaining journey into the seamy underbelly of Miami Beach — the glamorous, cutthroat, scandalous and sometimes deadly world of (I’m not making this up) elementary-school fundraising.'' --New York Times bestselling author Dave Barry]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/713579Tue, 30 Jul 2024 00:20:35 +0000kathryPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/713579 to listen full audiobooks.

Don’t be surprised if you finish it in one day!”--In Touch Magazine “Fun and frothy... endlessly entertaining.”--Glamour Good villains make good TV. Romance novelist Jacqueline Matthis’s big career has gone bust and she’s ditched the bright lights of New York City for her more affordable South Carolina hometown. Desperate, Jac dreams up a comeback plan—she is going to be a contestant on the 1, the most obsessively watched reality dating show in the world. After all Jac is a romance writer—she knows how to pull off a meet-cute and create a spicy plotline. On set, Jac quickly establishes herself as a front-runner for bachelor Marcus’s heart, but she’s shocked to discover who’s actually pulling the strings. How was she to know that Henry Foster, her last one-night stand before the show, was actually a longtime producer on the 1? Henry is just as horrified…but they can’t seem to keep their hands off each other. As Jac plays the game and the show unfurls, she slowly discovers that she’s getting the villain edit. They say there’s no such thing as bad publicity, but as Jac’s secret plan begins crumbling around her, she’s not so sure. What happens if Marcus chooses her? Worse, what happens if her affair with Henry comes to light? What if, in trying to save her career, Jac has ruined her life? Heartbreaking, smart, and sexy, this novel is for anyone who has ever secretly rooted for—or felt like—the villain. “THE VILLAIN EDIT is perfect for people who, like me, love mess.

Liz Lewis has tried everything to be what people want. But she’s always been labeled different from everyone else in the boisterous world of wilderness expeditions—that is, if anyone notices her at all. Her marriage to popular adventure guide Tobin Renner-Lewis is a sinkhole of toxic positivity where she’s the only one saying no. In a mountain resort town built around excitement, introverted Liz gets…spreadsheets. When she gets mistaken for a server at her own thirtieth birthday party and her last line of communication with Tobin finally snaps, Liz vows to stop playing a minor character in her own life. The (incredibly well-researched and scientific) plan? A crash course in confidence…via improv comedy class. The catch? She’s terrible at it, and the only person willing to practice with her is a certain extroverted wilderness guide who seems dead set on saving their marriage one bonkers improv scenario at a time. But as Liz and Tobin get closer (...again), she’s forced to confront all the reasons they didn’t work the first time, along with her growing suspicion that there might be more to her social awkwardness than anyone realized.

It’s never too late to start dancing again... For fifty years, Venetia Hargreaves’s world revolved around her husband. She built their life around his big career, with dinner on the table at six, a lovely home, and a dutiful son just as business-minded as his father. Now Venetia’s a wealthy widow left with a beautiful but empty home, an enviable bank balance, and a distinct feeling that she missed the boat. Once upon a time, she was a dance instructor who dreamed of opening her own ballroom school with a fellow teacher who won her heart. Instead, Venetia chose the safer path. So, at seventy-four years of age, Venetia declares her independence, first with a makeover, and then by adopting a new dog. But something is still missing...until on one of her dog walks by the river she passes by a building she remembers all too well. In her youth it was the spectacular Phoenix Ballroom, where she used to teach waltzes and tangos. These days it’s a community center and spiritualist church, funded by a mysterious benefactor who only pays for the upkeep. Eager to revive at least one meaningful thing from her past, Venetia buys the Phoenix Ballroom, and finds a supportive and loving community of lost souls who become a delightful multigenerational family-by-choice. As the ballroom regains its former glory, the community and Venetia’s humdrum life are revived as well...proving wonderful things can come from the darkest of places.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/710526Tue, 11 Jun 2024 00:20:35 +0000kathryPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/710526 to listen full audiobooks.

Neilson Narrator: Frankie Corzo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 21 minutes Release date: June 11, 2024 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: THE USA TODAY BESTSELLER!  “Perfect for fans of Abby Jimenez, Kennedy Ryan, and Carley Fortune (aka me).” –Emily Henry “Beautifully blending beloved tropes and smooth, often lyrical prose… Two lovers navigate challenges related to mental health, racial identity, grief, and a chronic illness” –NPR Lifelong best friends spend a fateful summer discovering what might happen if they were to be something more in this radiant, heart-clenching adult debut. Laniah Thompson is a homebody who craves privacy. Issac Jordan is internet famous and spends his days followed by paparazzi. She runs a small business with her mom in her hometown. He runs an international brand. And they’ve been best friends since childhood. When Issac comes home to Providence for the first time in months and discovers Laniah’s dream is slipping out of reach as she and her mom struggle to pay the bills at Wildly Green, their natural hair store, she refuses to take a dime from him. And so, he does what any self-respecting best friend would do: tells the world they’re dating. Suddenly business is booming, and Laniah agrees to his ridiculous plan to pretend to be lovers for the course of the summer. Just long enough to catch the eye of an investor and get her dream back on track, like she helped him do so many years ago, he reminds her. Too soon, though, Laniah knows she’s playing with fire, because for as long as they’ve been friends there’s an undeniable pull they’ve never given in to. And as the lines between art and life—real and pretend—blur, it becomes harder and harder to see where friendship ends and something else begins.... Told over the course of three sizzling summer months, A Love Like the Sun is about shared history, those who make us our bravest selves, and love in its many forms.

I'm so, so happy to be here with you.' This is how it is to love somebody. You tell them the truth. You lie a little. And sometimes you don't say anything at all...' For the past two decades, Rocky has looked forward to her family’s yearly escape to Cape Cod. Their rustic beach-town rental has been the site of sweet memories, its quirky furniture and mismatched pots and pans greeted like old friends. Now, sandwiched between her children who are adult enough to be fun but still young enough to need her, and her parents who are alive and healthy, Rocky wants to preserve this golden moment forever. This one precious week when everything is in balance; everything is in flux. But every family has its secrets and hers is no exception. With her body in open revolt and surprises invading her peaceful haven, the perfectly balanced seesaw of Rocky’s life is tipping towards change… 'Sandwich is joy in book form.

Title: But How Are You, Really: A Novel Author: Ella Dawson Narrator: Jaime Lamchick Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 26 minutes Release date: June 4, 2024 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: A burned-out bisexual confronts old demons, her estranged chosen family, and the ex she maybe shouldn’t have walked away from when she attends her five-year college reunion. Charlotte Thorne does not want to go back to Hein University. Her life postcollege isn’t what she expected—her career in media is stalled, her passion for drawing has fallen by the wayside, and she’s done a terrible job keeping in touch with her queer chosen family since graduation day. Willingly spend a full weekend with her incredibly successful classmates? Hard pass. But when her demanding boss, tech journalist Roger Ludermore, is invited to give the commencement address at this year’s graduation—which falls on the same weekend as her five-year reunion—Charlotte has no choice but to return to campus. The minute she steps foot on Hein property, the past comes crawling back in its glory and cringe: disco parties at the LGBTQIA+ program house, sleeping in a twin XL bed, and her chemistry with Reece Krueger, the hockey player she rebounded with after a traumatic breakup. Suddenly the weekend Charlotte has dreaded for months feels like an opportunity to go back in time. Determined to have some fun, Charlotte dodges her best friend’s questions about her mental health, ignores her boss’s constant Slack messages, and tries to avoid the truth about why she ghosted Reece five years ago. But can she really outrun her past and get her life together in seventy-two hours?]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/707726Tue, 04 Jun 2024 00:20:35 +0000kathryPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/707726 to listen full audiobooks.

I loved this book.” – Kelly Link, Pulitzer Prize finalist and bestselling author of Get in Trouble and The Book of Love “What I love most about Ninetails is its fierce allegiance to underdogs of all kinds, its careful and myriad empathy for its characters, but also its pure and artisanal delight in language and fictive possibilities.” —Ocean Vuong, New York Times-bestselling author of On Earth, We're Briefly Gorgeous and Time is a Mother A “lyrical and virtuosic” fabulist debut collection of stories re-imagining the nine-tailed fox spirit of Asian folklore (Gina Chung). A fox spirit avenges a teen girl by seducing her abuser. A shapeshifting woman finds herself chased through the woods by fox hunters; meanwhile, an assassination plot called Operation Fox Hunt unfolds against the last Queen of Korea. Chinese migrants hoping to make new lives as “paper children” in America find their pasts—and their hopes for the future—embodied in the foxes that haunt the harbor in 1900s Angel Island. In the nine tales of Ninetails, acclaimed poet Sally Wen Mao reimagines the fox spirit from Asian folklore—a shapeshifter, shaman, and seductress—as an icon of vengeance, solidarity and liberation. The characters of her stories are varied—from silicone sex dolls who come to life with new purpose, to women whose crushes manifest as stones—but they all reach for a common purpose: to find truth and belonging in a difficult world determined to consider them alien. With the fabulist vibrancy of Carmen Maria Machado, the sinuous world-building of Helen Oyeyemi, and the sensuous feminist rage of Han Kang, Ninetails is both timeless—unearthing a cultural icon whose origins date back over a thousand years—and timely in its contemporary political urgency.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/707725Tue, 28 May 2024 00:20:35 +0000kathryPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/707725 to listen full audiobooks.

Delfina Silva-Miller wants one thing: to leave behind Evergreen, New Jersey and never look back. Despite her adoring grandmother’s best efforts, Del can’t bear to live another moment at the whims of her deadbeat dad (so cliché) and her ever-temperamental crush, Eddie Rodriguez (humiliating).  Now. If there’s one thing Del knows how to do, it’s spin her bad luck into a killer joke. After years of hard work, she’s finally landed a coveted spot at a huge comedy festival, molding the often tragic raw material of her life into comedic gold. But when Del loses her job, boyfriend, and apartment in the span of a few hours, she’s forced to pack her bags and return to the home she swore off at eighteen. Del is determined not to let her history with Evergreen distract her. She has 45 days to perfect a new comedy set and march into her new life. Instead, she marches right into Eddie Rodriguez. But he’s nothing like the boy she left behind ten years ago. As the festival draws closer, Del is faced with the terrifying possibility that everything she’s ever wanted isn’t as far away as it once seemed.   Vividly evoking the boardwalks and beaches of the Jersey Shore, Summertime Punchline is a hilarious, vulnerable, and sweeping love story celebrating the complicated relationships—romantic and not—that impact our lives, for better or worse.  “I laughed, I swooned, I dabbed my eyes.

It’s a history mystery you won’t be able to put down, with strong female characters and plenty of secrets. Plus, it takes you behind the scenes in vintage Hollywood and Martha’s Vineyard. A perfect beach read!”—Lisa Scottoline, #1 bestselling author of Loyalty and The Truth About the Devlins A tantalizing novel of two women bound by blood but divided by a long-buried secret, and the island that holds the key to the fateful summer that changed everything forever. In 1959, Hollywood ingenue Mercy Welles seems to have the world at her feet. Far removed from her Nebraska roots, she has crafted herself into a glamorous Oscar-nominated actress engaged to an up-and-coming director… Until she shockingly vanishes without a trace, just as her career is taking off. Almost sixty years later, Kit O’Neill, a junior television producer in Manhattan, is packing up her recently deceased grandmother’s attic, only to discover a long-lost box of souvenirs that reveal that the grandmother who raised her and her sister was, in fact, the mysterious Mercy Welles. Putting her investigative skills to use, Kit is determined to solve the riddle of her grandmother’s missing life, and the trail eventually leads to Martha’s Vineyard. Mercy retreats to the island nursing a broken heart, only to be drawn to the roguish Ren Sewards, who is not just the simple oysterman he appears to be but a scion of one of the island’s wealthy founding families. With her attraction to Ren quickly growing, Mercy soon finds herself entangled in the intrigues of the tightly knit community and the secrets of the Sewards.

It’s a history mystery you won’t be able to put down, with strong female characters and plenty of secrets. Plus, it takes you behind the scenes in vintage Hollywood and Martha’s Vineyard. A perfect beach read!”—Lisa Scottoline, #1 bestselling author of Loyalty and The Truth About the Devlins A tantalizing novel of two women bound by blood but divided by a long-buried secret, and the island that holds the key to the fateful summer that changed everything forever. In 1959, Hollywood ingenue Mercy Welles seems to have the world at her feet. Far removed from her Nebraska roots, she has crafted herself into a glamorous Oscar-nominated actress engaged to an up-and-coming director… Until she shockingly vanishes without a trace, just as her career is taking off. Almost sixty years later, Kit O’Neill, a junior television producer in Manhattan, is packing up her recently deceased grandmother’s attic, only to discover a long-lost box of souvenirs that reveal that the grandmother who raised her and her sister was, in fact, the mysterious Mercy Welles. Putting her investigative skills to use, Kit is determined to solve the riddle of her grandmother’s missing life, and the trail eventually leads to Martha’s Vineyard. Mercy retreats to the island nursing a broken heart, only to be drawn to the roguish Ren Sewards, who is not just the simple oysterman he appears to be but a scion of one of the island’s wealthy founding families. With her attraction to Ren quickly growing, Mercy soon finds herself entangled in the intrigues of the tightly knit community and the secrets of the Sewards. Alternating between Mercy and Kit’s timelines, including excerpts from letters Mercy wrote the summer she disappeared, The Lost Letters from Martha’s Vineyard unfurls into a heart-stopping story of love, betrayal, and even murder.]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/a-northern-light-in-provence-a-novel-by-elizabeth-birkelund--65267615https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/707107 to listen full audiobooks.

Isolated and restless in her world by the sea, she convinces her publisher to pay for a trip to the country she has never visited but whose language she speaks fluently: France. Her mission is to translate the verses of Geoffrey “Po” Labaye, a charismatic poet known as “the last living troubadour of Provence.” Upon arrival in the medieval hilltop village of Belle Rivière, Ilse falls under the spell of the Provençal way of life, captivated by the air, the sun, the vibrant spring colors, and the dulcet sounds of the dialect. Soon enough, Ilse is captivated by the poet, too, and she and Po develop a daily rhythm and warm camaraderie—which is disrupted by the arrival of the poet’s son, Frey. Though he has a fiancée back in Paris, Frey turns his attentions to Ilse, and suddenly she is forced to learn another language, one her translation skills have not prepared her to decode.

But decades of secrets have led them to separate lives—and to telling lies, to themselves and to one another. Sylvie is getting married. Again. A librarian and widow who soothes her grief by escaping into books (and shelving them perfectly), Sylvie has caught the attention of an unlikely match: Simon Rampling, a mysterious, wealthy man from Northern England. Sylvie allows herself to imagine a life beside him—one filled with the written word, kindness, and companionship. She’s ready to love again . . . or is she? Cleo is the golden child. A successful criminal defense lawyer with the perfect boyfriend, she is immediately suspicious of Simon. Is he really who he says he is?

Title: Lovers and Liars: A Novel Author: Amanda Eyre Ward Narrator: Nora Roux Meckel, Sarah Beth Goer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 13 minutes Release date: May 14, 2024 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Three wildly different sisters reunite for a destination wedding at an English castle in this heartfelt and rollicking novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Jetsetters. “The sort of novel that simultaneously tempts you to devour it in one greedy gulp and begs you to slow down and savor each page.”—Jenny Jackson, author of Pineapple Street Once upon a time, the Peacock sisters were little girls who combed each other’s tangled hair. But decades of secrets have led them to separate lives—and to telling lies, to themselves and to one another. Sylvie is getting married. Again. A librarian and widow who soothes her grief by escaping into books (and shelving them perfectly), Sylvie has caught the attention of an unlikely match: Simon Rampling, a mysterious, wealthy man from Northern England. Sylvie allows herself to imagine a life beside him—one filled with the written word, kindness, and companionship. She’s ready to love again . . . or is she? Cleo is the golden child. A successful criminal defense lawyer with the perfect boyfriend, she is immediately suspicious of Simon. Is he really who he says he is? Cleo heads to Mumberton Castle with a case of investigative files, telling herself she will expose Simon and save her sister from more heartbreak . . . but who is she really trying to save? Emma is living a lie. She can’t afford this fancy trip—and she definitely can’t tell her husband and sons why. She once dreamed of a line of her own perfumes. Fragrances allowed her to speak in silence. Now, that tendency for silence only worsens her situation. Will she emerge with her dignity and family intact?

Title: We Were the Universe: A novel Author: Kimberly King Parsons Narrator: Justis Bolding, Kristen Sieh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 49 minutes Release date: May 14, 2024 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: A TIME MUST-READ BOOK OF THE YEAR • A young mother, in denial after the death of her sister, navigates the dizzying landscapes of desire, guilt, and grief in this darkly comic, highly anticipated debut novel from Kimberly King Parsons, author of the story collection, Black Light (long-listed for the National Book Award). 'Kimberly King Parsons sings the lushest, cruelest, kindest, weirdest, darkest and most hilarious songs on paper; I want to hang these sentences in my house and admire them like the interdimensional multisensory illuminated artworks they truly are.' —Karen Russell, Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of Swamplandia! The trip was supposed to be fun. When Kit’s best friend gets dumped by his boyfriend, he begs her to ditch her family responsibilities for an idyllic weekend in the Montana mountains. They’ll soak in hot springs, then sneak a vape into a dive bar and drink too much, like old times. Instead, their getaway only reminds Kit of everything she’s lost lately: her wildness, her independence, and—most heartbreaking of all—her sister, Julie, who died a few years ago. When she returns home to the Dallas suburbs, Kit tries to settle in to her routine—long afternoons spent caring for her irrepressible daughter, going on therapist-advised dates with her concerned husband, and reluctantly taking her mother’s phone calls. But in the secret recesses of Kit’s mind, she’s reminiscing about the band she used to be in—and how they’d go out to the desert after shows and drop acid. She’s imagining an impossible threesome with her kid’s pretty gymnastics teacher and the cool playground mom. Keyed into everything that might distract from her surfacing pain, Kit spirals. As her already thin boundaries between reality and fantasy blur, she begins to wonder: Is Julie really gone? Neon bright in its insight, both devastating and laugh-out-loud funny, We Were the Universe is an ambitious, inventive novel from a revelatory new voice in American fiction—a fearless exploration of sisterhood, motherhood, friendship, marriage, psychedelics, and the many strange, transcendent shapes love can take.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/707081Tue, 14 May 2024 00:20:35 +0000kathryPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/707081 to listen full audiobooks.

Emily Allen, a librarian on Martha’s Vineyard, has always dreamed of a life of travel and adventure. So when her favorite author, Siobhan Riordan, offers her a job in the Emerald Isle, Emily jumps at the opportunity. After all, Siobhan’s novels got Em through some of the darkest days of her existence. Helping Siobhan write the final book in her acclaimed series—after a ten-year hiatus due to a scorching case of writer’s block—is a dream come true for Emily. If only she didn’t have to deal with Siobhan’s son, Kieran Murphy. He manages Siobhan’s bookstore, and the grouchy bookworm clearly doesn’t want Em around. Emily persists, and spending her days bantering with the annoyingly handsome mercurial Irishman only makes her fall more deeply in love with the new life she’s built – and for the man who seems to soften toward her with every quip she throws at him. But when she discovers the reason for Kieran's initial resistance, Em finds herself torn between helping Siobhan find closure with her series and her now undeniable feelings for Kier. As Siobhan's novel progresses, Emily will have to decide if she’s truly ready to turn a new page and figure out what lies in the next chapter. *Includes a downloadable PDF of a recipe from the book]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/707097Tue, 14 May 2024 00:20:35 +0000kathryPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/707097 to listen full audiobooks.

Chung, based on her family story Daughters are the Ang family’s curse. In 1948, civil war ravages the Chinese countryside, but in rural Shandong, the wealthy, landowning Angs are more concerned with their lack of an heir. Hai is the eldest of four girls and spends her days looking after her sisters. Headstrong Di, who is just a year younger, learns to hide in plain sight, and their mother—abused by the family for failing to birth a boy—finds her own small acts of rebellion in the kitchen. As the Communist army closes in on their town, the rest of the prosperous household flees, leaving behind the girls and their mother because they view them as useless mouths to feed. Without an Ang male to punish, the land-seizing cadres choose Hai, as the eldest child, to stand trial for her family’s crimes. She barely survives their brutality. Realizing the worst is yet to come, the women plan their escape. Starving and penniless but resourceful, they forge travel permits and embark on a thousand-mile journey to confront the family that abandoned them. From the countryside to the bustling city of Qingdao, and onward to British Hong Kong and eventually Taiwan, they witness the changing tide of a nation and the plight of multitudes caught in the wake of revolution. But with the loss of their home and the life they’ve known also comes new freedom—to take hold of their fate, to shake free of the bonds of their gender, and to claim their own story. Told in assured, evocative prose, with impeccably drawn characters, Daughters of Shandong is a hopeful, powerful story about the resilience of women in war; the enduring love between mothers, daughters, and sisters; and the sacrifices made to lift up future generations.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/703209Tue, 07 May 2024 00:20:35 +0000kathryPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/703209 to listen full audiobooks.

Welcome to the St. Cecelia, a landmark hotel on the coast of Georgia, where traditions run deep and scandals run even deeper. . . . Everyone refers to the St. Cecelia as “the Saint.” If you grew up coming here, you were “a Saint.” If you came from the wrong side of the river, you were “an Ain’t.” Traci Eddings was one of those outsiders whose family wasn’t rich enough or connected enough to vacation here. But she could work here. One fateful summer she did, and married the boss’s son. Now, she’s the widowed owner of the hotel, determined to see it return to its glory days, even as staff shortages and financial troubles threaten to ruin it. Plus, her greedy and unscrupulous brother-in-law wants to make sure she fails. Enlisting a motley crew of recently hired summer help—including the daughter of her estranged best friend—Traci has one summer season to turn it around. But new information about a long-ago drowning at the hotel threatens to come to light, and the tragic death of one of their own brings Traci to the brink of despair. Traci Eddings has her back against the pink-painted wall of this beloved institution. And it will take all the wits and guts she has to see wrongs put to right, to see guilty parties put in their place, and maybe even to find a new romance along the way.

I loved it!''—Naomi Krupitsky, New York Times bestselling author of The Family ''The Cursed Friend grabs the reader’s attention and doesn’t let go . . . a magnetic coming-of-age story''—Laura Spence-Ash, bestselling author of Beyond That, the Sea For readers of Adriana Trigiani, Susan Meissner, and Elena Ferrante, an unbreakable, life-changing friendship will lead two young girls from different worlds to rebel against the injustice they face in 1930s Italy. It is 1936, and in the small Italian city of Monza, on the pebbled bank of the Lambro, two frantic girls scramble to bury a body—the dead son of the city's most prominent fascist. Soon, they will find their fierce friendship put to the ultimate test. A year earlier, Francesca Strada, the well-mannered daughter of a bourgeois family, dreams of a life beyond provincial conformity. From afar she spies on Maddalena, the town’s rebellious outcast—whom neighbors call “the Cursed One”—and whose indomitable spirit fascinates her. Then, one day, escaping the vigilant eye of her parents, Francesca finds herself caught in her first-ever lie while trying to protect Maddalena. Soon, the two are inseparable. Maddalena teaches Francesca to defy animals, to overcome her fear of blood, and to recognize her body as something alive and present. But as tensions escalate and an atmosphere of suspicion, corruption, and discontent settles over the town, the friends become increasingly aware that as girls, they’re not as free as they wish to be. Confronted by a vicious act of violence, Maddalena and Francesca must rely on each other to defend what they have forged together. Set against the backdrop of the Abyssinian War, The Cursed Friend is a timeless tale of female friendship, navigating loss and adolescence, and finding the courage to speak out against the silence of a harsh, uncompromising world.

Emma Townsend can sum up her situationship with hot-as-hell romantic red flag Finn Hughes in one word: almost. They almost dated in high school. They almost hooked up after college.

The truth is never skin deep.   It was supposed to be a romantic getaway weekend in New York City. Breanna’s new boyfriend, Ty, took care of everything—the train tickets, the dinner reservations, the rented four-story luxury rowhouse in Jersey City with a beautiful view of the Manhattan skyline. But when Bree comes downstairs their final morning, she’s shocked.

There’s only one person Bree can turn to: her ex-best friend, a lawyer with whom she shares a very complicated past. As the police and a social media mob close in, all looking for #JusticeForJanelle, Bree realizes that the only way she can help Ty—or herself—is to figure out what really happened that last night.   But when people only see what they want to see, can she uncover the truth hiding in plain sight?

Twenty-nine, depressed, and drowning in credit card debt after losing her job during the pandemic, a millennial woman decides to end her troubles by jumping off Seoul’s Mapo Bridge. But her suicide attempt is interrupted by a girl dressed all in white—her guardian angel. Ah Roa is a clairvoyant magical girl on a mission to find the greatest magical girl of all time. And our protagonist just may be that special someone. But the young woman’s initial excitement turns to frustration when she learns being a magical girl in real life is much different than how it’s portrayed in stories. It isn’t just destiny—it’s work. Magical girls go to job fairs, join trade unions, attend classes. And for this magical girl there are no special powers and no great perks, and despite being magical, she still battles with low self-esteem. Her magic wand . . . is a credit card—which she must use to defeat a terrifying threat that isn’t a monster or an intergalactic war. It’s global climate change. Because magical girls need to think about sustainability, too. Park Seolyeon reimagines classic fantasy tropes in a novel that explores real-world challenges that are both deeply personal and universal: the search for meaning and the desire to do good in a world that feels like it’s ending.

As with a perfect meal in the world’s most magical city, I never wanted this sublime novel to end.”—Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney, author of Good Company Stella reached for an oyster, tipped her head, and tossed it back. It was cool and slippery, the flavor so briny it was like diving into the ocean. Oysters, she thought. Where have they been all my life? When her estranged mother dies, Stella is left with an unusual inheritance: a one-way plane ticket and a note reading “Go to Paris.” Stella is hardly cut out for adventure; a traumatic childhood has kept her confined to the strict routines of her comfort zone. But when her boss encourages her to take time off, Stella resigns herself to honoring her mother’s last wishes. Alone in a foreign city, Stella falls into old habits, living cautiously and frugally. Then she stumbles across a vintage store, where she tries on a fabulous Dior dress. The shopkeeper insists that this dress was meant for Stella and for the first time in her life Stella does something impulsive. She buys the dress—and embarks on an adventure. Her first stop: the iconic brasserie Les Deux Magots, where Stella tastes her first oysters and then meets an octogenarian art collector who decides to take her under his wing. As Jules introduces Stella to a veritable who’s who of the Paris literary, art, and culinary worlds, she begins to understand what it might mean to live a larger life.

As with a perfect meal in the world’s most magical city, I never wanted this sublime novel to end.”—Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney, author of Good Company Stella reached for an oyster, tipped her head, and tossed it back. It was cool and slippery, the flavor so briny it was like diving into the ocean. Oysters, she thought. Where have they been all my life? When her estranged mother dies, Stella is left with an unusual inheritance: a one-way plane ticket and a note reading “Go to Paris.” Stella is hardly cut out for adventure; a traumatic childhood has kept her confined to the strict routines of her comfort zone. But when her boss encourages her to take time off, Stella resigns herself to honoring her mother’s last wishes. Alone in a foreign city, Stella falls into old habits, living cautiously and frugally. Then she stumbles across a vintage store, where she tries on a fabulous Dior dress. The shopkeeper insists that this dress was meant for Stella and for the first time in her life Stella does something impulsive. She buys the dress—and embarks on an adventure.

They are imprisoned, but not contained. Three women cross a loch. It is 1567, one of them is pregnant, two of them fretful. The boat takes them to Lochleven castle in the middle of the water. Awaiting them are courtiers braying for blood, hellbent on keeping one of them under lock and key: Mary Queen of Scots.

A new reality sets in where they are at the mercy of not only their keepers, but of raging Scotland itself. In the outside world, Mary's kin, Queen Elizabeth claims she can do little but write. Downstairs, the shrewd jailor-courtier Margaret Erskine places her daughter-in-law Agnes in the chamber as her pair of eyes. Hope seems futile until the bewitching Lady Seton arrives. Seton's power shifts everything in the tower and soon a plan is hatched. But which of them will risk it all to save their mistress? Which woman loves her queen best? The Tower is a triumphant story of desire, grit, God-given power and wiles from a striking new voice in historical fiction.

Title: My Brilliant Sister Author: Amy Brown Narrator: Arianwen Parkes-Lockwood Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 55 minutes Release date: January 30, 2024 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: While Stella Miles Franklin took on the world, her beloved sister Linda led a short, domestic life as a wife, mother and sister. In a remarkable, genre-bending debut novel Amy Brown thrillingly reimagines those two lives – and her own – to explore and explode the contradictions embedded in brilliant careers and a woman’s place in the world. Sliding Doors meets Wifedom. Stella Miles Franklin’s autobiographical novel My Brilliant Career launched one of the most famous names in Australian letters. Funny, bold, often biting about its characters, the novel and its young author had a lot in common. Miles went on to live a large, fiercely independent and bohemian life of travel, art and freedom.   Not so her beloved sister Linda. Quiet, contained, conventional, Linda was an inversion of Stella. A family peacemaker who married the man Stella would not, bore a son and died of pneumonia at 25.   In this reflective, witty and revealing novel, Amy Brown rescues Linda, setting her in counterpoint with Stella, and with the lives of two contemporary women: Ida, a writer whose writing life is on hold as she teaches and raises her young daughter; and Stella, a singer-songwriter who has sacrificed everything for a career, now forcibly put on hold. Binding the two is the novella that Linda might have written to her sister Stella – a brilliant alternative vision of My Brilliant Career.   Innovative and involving, My Brilliant Sister is an utterly convincing (and hilarious) portrait of Miles Franklin and a moving, nuanced exploration of the balance women still have to strike between careers and family lives.

Title: Winifred Holtby: A BBC Radio Collection: South Riding, Anderby Wold, The Crowded Street and more Author: Winifred Holtby Narrator: Alison Fiske, Claire Goose, Joseph Peters, Alice Arnold, Sarah Lancashire, Joanna Mackie, Derek Smith, Philip Glenister, Hugh Dickson, Full Cast, Anna Massey, Carole Boyd Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 51 minutes Release date: December 14, 2023 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: Full-cast adaptations of three of Winifred Holtby’s best-known novels, plus short stories and bonus programmes about the author Winifred Holtby was an acclaimed novelist, journalist, feminist and social reformer. Her work encompasses six novels, two short story collections, a play and the first critical study of Virginia Woolf, but she is best known for her posthumously published masterpiece South Riding, which won the James Tait Black Memorial Award. She died in 1935, aged just 37. Born into a Yorkshire farming family, Holtby set much of her fiction in the landscape of her youth, including the three novels in this collection. Adapted as a 15-part radio drama, South Riding follows the lives and loves of fiery young headmistress Sarah Burton, landowner and school governor Robert Carne, and alderwoman Mrs Beddowes. Sarah Lancashire, Philip Glenister and Carole Boyd star in this rich, memorable evocation of a community in flux. Anderby Wold tells the tale of a farmer’s wife, a radical young writer and a village rocked by social change. Dramatised from Holtby’s 1923 debut novel, it stars Joanna Mackie, Derek Smith and Joseph Peters. The Crowded Street, set in the years leading up to World War I, centres around a woman's journey from introspective teenager to self-fulfilled adult. Claire Goose stars as heroine Muriel Hammond in this poignant coming-of-age drama. Wry, witty and irreverent, Holtby’s short stories reflect the diversity of her writing. 'The Celebrity Who Failed', read by Alice Arnold, features a girl who learns to walk on water – but is unprepared for the public attention that follows. 'Why Herbert Killed His Mother' is the story of a beautiful baby who turns out to be very different as an adult. A searing condemnation of ‘mother love’, it is read by Anna Massey. And in 'The Voice of God', read by Hugh Dickson, a radio-like machine enables people to listen in on the conversations of historical figures – but what will happen once the newspapers get to hear of it? Finally, Holtby’s life, legacy and significance are explored in a Woman’s Hour biographical segment and in a revealing radio portrait, The Divided State, written by Valerie Windsor and featuring Alison Fiske as Winifred Holtby.

He watched his girlfriend marry another man, lost his job and his apartment, and after a summer under his parents' roof, has taken refuge with his younger sister. A quiet few months in Philadelphia are just what he needs to clear his head. But he's barely unpacked before the bane of his existence, his sister's best friend, shows up. There's only one extra bed, and there's no way he's sharing it with her. Sarah Webb didn't think anything could be worse than a marriage-proposal-gone-wrong walk of shame to her best friend's apartment. But she was wrong. Because she's also sharing space with Jess's older brother. Brian is grumpy and stubborn and totally hot. He's also off limits, which is why she should let him have the bedroom, stop staring at his abs, and keep her distance. But playing nice isn't in her nature. As Sarah and Brian pull pranks and place wagers over who can lay claim to the bed, things between them start to shift. Sarah can admit that Brian has his moments, and Brian sees a side of Sarah she usually keeps hidden.

But Sophie has a gift of her own to give today – a tattered collection of photographs she’s never shown anybody. Holding it to her heart, a single tear slides down her wrinkled cheek. France, 1942. Sophie is folding Camille into her arms, kissing her daughter’s hair. She’s smiling through tears at the plaintive cries of a tiny, perfect newborn baby – her first grandchild. As a midwife, she’s helped so many take their first breath, but this is special. In the street outside, Nazi soldiers patrol day and night, and each week more people disappear. Sophie clenches her fist and vows she’ll do anything to save Camille and her baby from that fate. But when evil has stolen everything you know, even the truest promises are tested. Sophie swore she’d give her life for her family. How could everything have gone so terribly, heartbreakingly wrong?

Sophie’s hand trembles as she places the birthday card on to the creamy wood of her dresser – this one postmarked from far away, and signed with a name she’s never forgotten, despite their years apart. Downstairs, guests wait around a colourful pile of gifts – Happy 90th Birthday, Sophie! But Sophie has a gift of her own to give today – a tattered collection of photographs she’s never shown anybody. Holding it to her heart, a single tear slides down her wrinkled cheek. France, 1942. Sophie is folding Camille into her arms, kissing her daughter’s hair. She’s smiling through tears at the plaintive cries of a tiny, perfect newborn baby – her first grandchild. As a midwife, she’s helped so many take their first breath, but this is special. In the street outside, Nazi soldiers patrol day and night, and each week more people disappear. Sophie clenches her fist and vows she’ll do anything to save Camille and her baby from that fate. But when evil has stolen everything you know, even the truest promises are tested. Sophie swore she’d give her life for her family. How could everything have gone so terribly, heartbreakingly wrong? A beautiful, heart-wrenching story of love, sacrifice, and the unyielding bonds of motherhood. Perfect for fans of Anna Stuart, Fiona Valpy and Kate Quinn.

She's gratified by her work as a book doula but burdened by her belief that she need always be on call.

The silence on the end of the phone seems to last forever. “It’s Dad,” her sister finally says. “He had a massive heart attack. He’s gone.” When sisters Alex, Sam and Jess are called back to the family lake house in Summerville after the death of their beloved father, they learn that he was hiding a devastating secret. Alex is the one who discovers the stash of love letters hidden away in the shed by the lake where they used to play as children during the long, hot summers. She adored her father. But she just has to know who wrote these notes, and she doesn’t want to be talked out of it by her husband or her sisters, who each have their own reasons for avoiding digging deeper. As everyone tries to protect their grieving mother from more trauma, and manage their own shock, tensions rise in the lake house. Even under one roof, sharing a room just as they used to each summer as children, the sisters have never felt so isolated from one another.  A chance encounter at a local grief counselling group leads Alex to make a shocking discovery about her father. With the true scale of their father’s deception revealed, everything Alex and her sisters thought they knew about him – and about their family life – is called into question. Alex knows that if she’s going to find out the truth she’s going to have to go it alone – and that means keeping some secrets herself. As they each deal in their own way with the fallout from their father’s secret history, the three women’s lives begin to change in ways they could never have predicted. Can Alex hold onto the family she thought she had, and held so dear, if everything she ever knew was a lie? A poignant and heartfelt tale of sisterhood and marriage, Last Summer at the Lake Houseexplores how coming to terms with the past is the only way to create a hopeful future.

The silence on the end of the phone seems to last forever. “It’s Dad,” her sister finally says. “He had a massive heart attack. He’s gone.” When sisters Alex, Sam and Jess are called back to the family lake house in Summerville after the death of their beloved father, they learn that he was hiding a devastating secret. Alex is the one who discovers the stash of love letters hidden away in the shed by the lake where they used to play as children during the long, hot summers. She adored her father. But she just has to know who wrote these notes, and she doesn’t want to be talked out of it by her husband or her sisters, who each have their own reasons for avoiding digging deeper. As everyone tries to protect their grieving mother from more trauma, and manage their own shock, tensions rise in the lake house. Even under one roof, sharing a room just as they used to each summer as children, the sisters have never felt so isolated from one another.  A chance encounter at a local grief counselling group leads Alex to make a shocking discovery about her father. With the true scale of their father’s deception revealed, everything Alex and her sisters thought they knew about him – and about their family life – is called into question. Alex knows that if she’s going to find out the truth she’s going to have to go it alone – and that means keeping some secrets herself. As they each deal in their own way with the fallout from their father’s secret history, the three women’s lives begin to change in ways they could never have predicted. Can Alex hold onto the family she thought she had, and held so dear, if everything she ever knew was a lie? A poignant and heartfelt tale of sisterhood and marriage, Last Summer at the Lake Houseexplores how coming to terms with the past is the only way to create a hopeful future.

Title: The Last Train from Paris: An absolutely emotional and gripping World War 2 historical novel Author: Juliet Greenwood Narrator: Sarah Durham Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 2 minutes Release date: October 23, 2023 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: For Iris, each visit to her mother in St Mabon’s Cove, Cornwall has been the same – a serene escape from the city. But today, as she breaths in the salt air on the doorstep of her beloved childhood home, a heavy weight of anticipation settles over her. Iris knows she’s adopted, but any questions about where she came from have always been shut down by her parents, who can’t bear to revisit the past. Now, Iris can’t stop thinking about what she’s read on the official paperwork: BABY GIRL, FRANCE, 1939 – the year war was declared with Nazi Germany. When Iris confronts her mother, she hits the same wall of pain and resistance as whenever she mentions the war. That is, until her mother tearfully hands her an old tin of letters, tucked neatly beside a delicate piece of ivory wool. Retreating to the loft, Iris steels herself to at last learn the truth, however painful it might be. But, as she peels back each layer of history before her, a sensation of dread grows inside her. The past is calling, and its secrets are more intricate and tangled than Iris could ever have imagined. The year is 1939, and in Paris, France a young woman is about to commit a terrible betrayal… A beautifully written and addictively compelling historical novel about the terrible choices ordinary people were forced to make in the horrors of World War Two. If you loved The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Alice Network and The Nightingale, you will devour this book. What readers are saying about Juliet Greenwood: “This was fantastic!

But which man deserves her trust—or her heart? Kate Kingston wants nothing more than to instill her love of art into the hearts of her pupils, but when a solicitor arrives to inform her that her uncle died and she inherited his estate, she is hesitant to leave the comfortable life she has developed. Encouraged by her friends to embrace the new adventure, Kate uproots her life and travels to Larkfield where she must face the demons from her past—and work to replace the spoiled memories from her childhood with happier ones. The only problem: she doesn't know the first thing about running a large country estate. When an injured shoulder sends Peter Evans home from the war, he finds that his younger brother Martin is far from ready to give up his authority over the family estate, and even less willing to leave old quarrels in the past. But when a beautiful lady moves in next door and requests help in learning to manage her estate, Peter is willing to offer his knowledge—and his heart. If only Martin didn't have his sights set on the new neighbor, as well. But when trouble finds the inhabitants of Larkfield, few people believe the misdeeds are more than a run of bad luck. Convinced that someone is trying to hurt her friend, Kate must track the culprit, and she can't do it alone. But how can she know which brother to trust?

Last year, Kat Pennyfeather’s life was turned upside down, but it seems destiny isn’t finished with her yet… Kat Pennyfeather knows the joys and challenges of parenthood all too well – she’s been thrown into the deep end as a single, first-time mother to adorable baby Hattie. With the unwavering support of her beloved great aunties, affectionately known as The Lavender Ladies, and the sanctuary of her cosy home above Pennyfeather's Wool Shop, Kat is holding things together…. mostly. Across town, Jonah Brewster finds himself navigating the treacherous path of single parenthood after a painful divorce and unexpected loss. Jonah longs for stability, but the last thing he wants are the blind dates his well-meaning sister is constantly thrusting upon him. When Kat and Jonah unexpectedly reconnect in the Market Café, something sparks between them. They’ve known each other for years, but now there’s a newfound understanding there… and, at least for Kat, something else too. But their shared past holds more than comfortable friendship – a terrible tragedy and some difficult unspoken truths. Can Kat and Jonah defy the odds and embrace an unexpected chance for happiness? Meanwhile, The Lavender Ladies are making their own secret plans. Kat, well aware of their mischievous ways, hopes that whatever it is won’t put her job in the wool shop at risk. But when the truth is finally revealed, it’s so much worse than she thought. What on earth is she going to do now? An absolutely enchanting story set against the picturesque backdrop of Tuppenny Bridge, where hope blooms along the cobbled streets and new beginning are taking root! Perfect for fans of Heidi Swain, Cathy Bramley and Milly Johnson.

Title: [Spanish] - La mujer helada Author: Annie Ernaux Narrator: Bárbara Lennie Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 59 minutes Release date: September 28, 2023 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: Un fantástico retrato sobre la pérdida de la identidad de la mujer. Con la voz de Bárbara Lennie como Annie Ernaux. Tiene treinta años, es profesora, casada con un ejecutivo, madre de dos niños. Vive en una casa confortable. Sin embargo, es una mujer helada. Igual que miles de mujeres ha sentido cómo su curiosidad, su impulso vital se iban anquilosando a fuerza de un trabajo que compaginar con compras que hacer, cenas que cocinar, baños de niños que preparar… Todo eso que se entiende por la condición normal de mujer. Annie Ernaux cuenta brillantemente esta alteración de lo cotidiano, este empobrecimiento de las sensaciones, esta dilución de la identidad; esclavitud a la que las mujeres son empujadas como a un desafío. La crítica ha dicho... «Los libros de la francesa Annie Ernaux son el lugar de expiación de su propia historia. Fragmentos de una autobiografía sin secretos que la autora cuenta de manera sencilla y clara.(...) La literatura de Annie Ernaux es de índole autobiográfica, discreta, nada secreta y enormemente sencilla, clara y bastante minimalista (…) No se trata de contar cuentos sino de contar historias, mejor dicho, su propia historia por encima de todo lo demás, pero no cayendo en intimismo alguno, alejándose de toda subjetividad, pues considera su literatura como una especie de etnología, como una 'intervención' en la sociedad que le rodea» Rafael Conte/ El País]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/713555Thu, 28 Sep 2023 00:20:35 +0000kathryPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/713555 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Memoria de chica Author: Annie Ernaux Narrator: Bárbara Lennie Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 39 minutes Release date: September 28, 2023 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: «He querido olvidar a aquella chica. Olvidarla de verdad, es decir, no querer escribir más sobre ella. No pensar más que debo escribir sobre ella, sobre su deseo, su locura, su estupidez y su orgullo, su hambre y su sangre cortada. Nunca lo he conseguido». Con la voz de Bárbara Lennie como Annie Ernaux. En Memoria de chica, Annie Ernaux se sumerge en el verano de 1958, el de su primera noche con un hombre, en la colonia de S, en el Orne. Una noche que le iba a le dejar una marca indeleble, que iba a perseguirla durante años. Hasta la valiente decisión de reconstruirla escribiéndola, ayudada por fotografías y cartas recuperadas, sumida en una búsqueda: la de sus antiguos amigos y amigas, la de Él, ese primer hombre, pero sobre todo la de sí misma, aquella Annie que tanto le cuesta entender a la Annie actual, en un vaivén implacable entre el ayer y el hoy. La crítica ha dicho... «Annie Emaux es el nombre de un rompecabezas cuyas piezas ensamblan, libro a libro, para formar una de las mayores obras de nuestra época. Sus lectores no se equivocan, ya se cuentan por centenares de miles. Memoria de chica es un milagro de dignidad, de integridad y de inteligencia». Grégoire Leménager/ L'Observateur «Un magnífico relato donde Annie Ernaux explora una época crucial de su vida». Raphaëlle Leyris/ Le Monde des Livres «En cuerpo y alma. Annie Ernaux recuerda los estupores y temblores de su carne y de su alma de chica». Sébastien Lapaque/ Le Figaro Littéraire «La escritura de Annie Ernaux es ahora más que nunca contemporánea. Es la ocasión de medir la importancia de su obra y cómo ha marcado a la generación más joven, de Edouard Louis a Virginie Despentes pasando por Emmanuel Carrère o Didier Eribon». Nelly Kaprièlian/ Les Inrockuptibles «Exploradora del alma. La autora construye una gran obra artística y carnal, atada a la incertidumbre». Christine Ferniot/ Lire «Un libro sublime, que añade una pieza maestra al conjunto de la obra de Annie Ernaux». Dorothée Werner/ Elle «Una búsqueda, una recopilación, interrogantes.

Bright, popular, beautiful – she has always been everything that I’m not. But when she vanishes without a trace I know deep down I’m the only person who can find her.   I haven’t spoken to my sister Evianna in years, not since a shocking accident tore our lives apart and sent us to opposite sides of the country. For years I have worked as a social worker and Evianna is wealthy and successful. Our lives couldn’t be more different.   But then I get the call. Evianna is missing and her husband Simon needs my help. Arriving at their palatial home, I expect to find Simon wracked with worry for her safety but if anything he seems more worried about what everyone will think.   Scratching beneath the surface of their picture-perfect life, I discover that they were not the golden couple everyone thought. They had secrets they were desperate to hide. But then again as young sisters, so did we.   As Simon’s behaviour becomes more threatening towards me, a feeling of deep dread starts to swell. I think he knows our secret. But how far will he go to make me pay for happened and can I find my sister before it’s too late?   A totally gripping psychological thriller about toxic sisterhood and dark secrets that will have you reading just one more chapter until you reach the shocking final twist. Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, The Woman in the Window and Gone Girl.   What readers are saying about Dea Poirier:   “WHAT did I just read!!!! WOW!!! I mean seriously Wow!!...

Title: [Spanish] - Trincheras de cable. Ellas también ganaron la guerra Author: Jennifer Chiaverini Narrator: Paloma Insa Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 18 hours 56 minutes Release date: September 18, 2023 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: Jennifer Chiaverini presenta una novela osada y reveladora sobre una de las grandes historias jamás contadas de la Primera Guerra Mundial: la de las mujeres del Cuerpo de Señales del Ejército de los Estados Unidos. En junio de 1917, el general John Pershing llegó a Francia con el objetivo de establecer las fuerzas norteamericanas en Europa. Descubrió rápido que comunicarse con las tropas destacadas en el campo de batalla era imposible. Necesitaba operadores capaces de gestionar las conexiones con rapidez y precisión, que hablaran perfectamente francés e inglés, que mantuvieran la serenidad en caso de encontrarse bajo el fuego enemigo y que fuesen totalmente discretos, puesto que las comunicaciones contenían información clasificada. Respondieron al anuncio más de 7600 mujeres, entre ellas Grace Banker, que trabajaba en AT&T impartiendo cursos de manejo de centralitas; Marie Miossec, francesa y cantante de ópera; y Valerie DeSmedt, de veinte años, operadora en Pacific Telephone y decidida a luchar a favor de Bélgica, su país de origen. Las tres estuvieron entre las primeras mujeres que juraron lealtad al Ejército de los Estados Unidos. Los soldados varones a los que sustituyeron necesitaban un minuto para conectar una llamada. Las soldados de centralita lo hacían en solo diez segundos. Ridiculizadas a veces con el mote de «chicas hola», las mujeres del Cuerpo de Señales del Ejército de los Estados Unidos sirvieron con honor y jugaron un papel esencial en la consecución de la victoria aliada. El riesgo de muerte era real —trabajaban mientras llovían bombas a su alrededor—, igual que la amenaza de una nueva enfermedad mortal: la gripe española. No todas las operadoras telefónicas lograrían sobrevivir. Su historia nunca había sido el eje central de una novela… hasta ahora. «Una novela reveladora y detallada sobre unas mujeres admirables… Chiaverini teje los hilos que se entrecruzan en la vida de estas valientes mujeres soldado, destacando su profundo sentido del orgullo y el deber».

Nisha viaja por todo el mundo y disfruta de las comodidades propias de los ricos y poderosos. Hasta que su marido le pide el divorcio y deja de pasarle dinero. Nisha está decidida a aferrarse a su sofisticado estilo de vida, pero, mientras, deberá esforzarse por salir adelante. Y eso que ya ni siquiera tiene los zapatos que llevaba puestos hasta hace un momento. La razón es que Sam, en el peor momento de su vida, se ha llevado la bolsa de gimnasio de Nisha por error. A Sam no le da ni tiempo a preocuparse por su despiste, bastante tiene con sacar a su familia adelante. Pero cuando se prueba los zapatos Louboutin de Nisha, rojos, espectaculares y con un tacón de quince centímetros, Sam siente tanta confianza que se da cuenta de que algo debe cambiar..., y ese algo es ella. «Pocos escritores tienen el poder de hacerte reír en una página y llorar en la siguiente. Moyes es uno de ellos». The New York Times Crítica: «En tus tacones es MUY DIVERTIDO. Bonito cuando habla de amistad femenina y brillante cuando habla de ser mujer a una cierta edad... Fantástico». Marian Keyes «Nadie escribe sobre las mujeres como Jojo Moyes (reconociblemente reales y complejas y divertidas e imperfectas) que es lo que hace que tenga que comprar automáticamente todas sus novelas». Jodi Picoult «Una comedia deliciosa que es un canto a las mujeres y su amistad... Date un homenaje con el último libro de la reina británica de la ficción femenina». People «Es implacable y te hará reír a carcajadas». The Times «Encantador... Moyes nunca escatima sus característicos comentarios inteligentes... Sus fans se lo van a pasar en grande». Publishers Weekly «Una novela cálida, ingeniosa e inspiradora... Es un placer pasar tiempo con sus personajes. Otro triunfo de una autora fabulosa».

Está lleno de acción y Nisha y Sam van a conquistar a los lectores». Booklist «Un nuevo y cautivador éxito… Cercano, memorable y emocionante».

Después de Teoría King Kong, regresa la dama más punk de las letras francesas con una novela rabiosamente actual. «Pocas autoras nos sumergen como Virginie Despentesen el pantanal asfixiante en que se ha convertido nuestra época». El País «He leído lo que publicaste en tu cuenta de Insta. Eres como si una paloma se me cagara en el hombro: una guarrada asquerosa. Buáá buáá buáá soy una mierdecilla que no le interesa a nadie y berreo como un chihuahua para ver si me hago notar. Vivan las redes sociales: has logrado tus quince minutos de gloria. La prueba: te estoy escribiendo». Rebecca, una actriz en la cincuentena con una carrera en declive, responde con estas duras palabras a Oscar, un novelista cuarentón que acaba de insultarla en redes sociales. Al darse cuenta de que ya se conocían, nace entre ellos una correspondencia en la que irán deponiendo las armas. Ambos recordarán el pasado y su afición por las drogas, hasta que Oscar es acusado de acoso sexual por su antigua responsable de prensa. Novela de rabia y consuelo, Querido capullo es un incisivo análisis de nuestra sociedad a través del punto de vista de un hombre cancelado, una actriz olvidada y una joven acusadora, en un relato que demuestra que la amistad puede hacer frente a cualquier debilidad humana. En una novela que está revolucionando las letras francesas, Despentes despliega todas las aristas del #MeToo, de los feminismos, de las redes sociales, de las adicciones y de lo que significa envejecer en nuestra sociedad. La crítica ha dicho: «Con esta obra, que se adentra, incómoda e incisiva, en los tiempos que corren, Despentes remueve la mirada fácil sobre la guerra de los sexos y propone otra perspectiva: la del compromiso y la amistad entre un hombre y una mujer cuando lo que está en juego es la dignidad». Diego Gándara, La Razón «Menudo librazo es Querido capullo de Despentes, lúcido, salvaje, divertidísimo y lleno de una miserable ternura. Todo un lugar para el encuentro con la persona que no deseamos ser pero que somos». Roy Galán «Su lenguaje feroz y coloquial, sus desinhibidas escenas sexuales, su malditismo son ahora la mirada punzante sobre las violencias sociales». Lourdes Ventura, El Cultural «Hablando con justicia de la inmensa empatía que sabe mostrar con sus personajes, Despentes sin duda ha puesto mucho de sí misma en Rebecca y Óscar, especialmente en él, se diría. Su brío, sus heridas, sus desencuentros y su melancolía tiñen la novela con una admirable infinidad de tonos». Nathalie Crom, Télérama «Sí, Querido capullo es una utopía, salpicada de picantes digresiones, lenguas viperinas, emotivas declaraciones, traiciones y reconciliaciones, fracasos, momentos de gracia. Una utopía de sanación, esperanza e igualdad». Elise Lépine, Le Point «Su retórica es imparable, levanta la voz muy alto, golpea la mesa, se anticipa a los ataques y discute. No se le escapa ninguna de las facetas del feminismo contemporáneo. Sin duda juzgarán esa sucia manera de hacer las cosas, pero brilla con una lucidez que a veces es cruel».

Una utopía de sanación, esperanza e igualdad». Elise Lépine, Le Point «Su retórica es imparable, levanta la voz muy alto, golpea la mesa, se anticipa a los ataques y discute. No se le escapa ninguna de las facetas del feminismo contemporáneo. Sin duda juzgarán esa sucia manera de hacer las cosas, pero brilla con una lucidez que a veces es cruel».

The beautiful wife. Supposedly happily married and enjoying a family vacation. I know her husband killed her. And I’m going to make him pay…   This is my first job as a housekeeper, but Evan Warner doesn’t need to know that. It’s the first of many lies I’ll tell him. He just lost his wife, Lola, and now he and his young daughter Jessica are adrift. But no amount of cleaning will rid this house of the secrets that have seeped into the cracks. I never forgave Lola for what she did to me. But I can’t let Evan get away with her murder.   In their impressive home, I busy myself preparing meals and peeking at carelessly discarded mail, looking for proof of his crimes. Evan hovers and I’m sure he is watching me… even as I bond with Jessica. But whenever he catches us alone together, his face darkens. I realize I have to get her out of this house before it’s too late for her, too.   Then I find Lola’s diary, tucked away in a closet out of sight. Her words, hastily scrawled on these pages, change everything I thought I knew about this family. As I hear footsteps on the stairs, I know I’m trapped. And I’m in more danger now than ever before…   The Wife in the Photo is a totally twisty psychological thriller guaranteed to keep you up all night.

VUELVE ÁNGELA BANZAS LA VOZ DEL THRILLER GALLEGO Un asesino envuelto en sombras, una rosa, una cadena de espinas. Un bosque flotante donde el miedo oculta terribles secretos. Isla de Cortegada, 1910. El hallazgo del cadáver de una niña el día de la matanza genera gran conmoción entre los habitantes de la ría por las circunstancias y la atrocidad del crimen. Un culpable, el poeta Guillermo de Foz. Una condena, la muerte a garrote. Monasterio de Armenteira, Pontevedra, 2002. Las obras de restauración del claustro sacan a la luz un cuaderno inédito con la confesión del escritor maldito Guillermo de Foz. Antía Fontán, profesora de Literatura en La Sorbona, viajará a Galicia para llevar a cabo un estudio sobre este hallazgo. Lo que desconoce es que su estancia trascenderá lo profesional. Allí descubrirá una historia de amor y muerte, siniestros intereses y se verá envuelta en una serie de asesinatos perpetrados por una mente criminal que sigue el modus operandi de los ángeles caídos de la literatura. El apodado Asesino de la Rosa parece tener un solo destinatario: ella. Después del éxito de El silencio de las olas y La conjura de la niebla, la escritora Ángela Banzas despliega su virtuosismo narrativo y nos ofrece un rompecabezas en el que la tensión aumenta con cada capítulo. La sombra de la rosa es una novela ágil, llena de resonancias y golpes de efecto, que explora la raíz del mal y nos conecta con el lado oscuro del amor y el más cruento de la literatura universal.

Las obras de restauración del claustro sacan a la luz un cuaderno inédito con la confesión del escritor maldito Guillermo de Foz. Antía Fontán, profesora de Literatura en La Sorbona, viajará a Galicia para llevar a cabo un estudio sobre este hallazgo. Lo que desconoce es que su estancia trascenderá lo profesional. Allí descubrirá una historia de amor y muerte, siniestros intereses y se verá envuelta en una serie de asesinatos perpetrados por una mente criminal que sigue el modus operandi de los ángeles caídos de la literatura. El apodado Asesino de la Rosa parece tener un solo destinatario: ella. Después del éxito de El silencio de las olas y La conjura de la niebla, la escritora Ángela Banzas despliega su virtuosismo narrativo y nos ofrece un rompecabezas en el que la tensión aumenta con cada capítulo. La sombra de la rosa es una novela ágil, llena de resonancias y golpes de efecto, que explora la raíz del mal y nos conecta con el lado oscuro del amor y el más cruento de la literatura universal. Sombras, rosas y espinas.]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/second-chance-garden-by-a-j-pine--65267643https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/703460 to listen full audiobooks.

One husband. A compelling novel of family, sisterhood, and survival by the Washington Post bestselling author of One for the Blackbird, One for the Crow. 1857. Three women—once strangers—come together in unpredictable Utah Territory. Hopeful, desperate, and willful, they’ll allow nothing on Earth or in Heaven to stand in their way. Following the call of their newfound Mormon faith, Tamar Loader and her family weather a brutal pilgrimage from England to Utah, where Tamar is united with her destined husband, Thomas Ricks. Clinging to a promise for the future, she abides an unexpected surprise: Thomas is already wedded to one woman—Tabitha, a local healer—and betrothed to still another. Orphaned by tragedy and stranded in the Salt Lake Valley, Jane Shupe struggles to provide for herself and her younger sister. She is no member of the Mormon migration, yet Jane agrees to marry Thomas. Out of necessity, with no love lost, she too must bear the trials of a sister-wife. But when the US Army’s invasion brings the rebellious Mormon community to heel, Tamar, Jane, and Tabitha are forced to retreat into the hostile desert wilderness with little in common but the same man—and the resolve to keep themselves and their children alive. What they discover, as one, is redemption, a new definition of family, and a bond stronger than matrimony that is tested like never before.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/714966Sat, 01 Oct 2022 00:20:35 +0000kathryPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/714966 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Recipe for Hope Author: Fiona Valpy Narrator: Sarah Zimmerman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 3 minutes Release date: September 1, 2022 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: In this charming novel from the bestselling author of The Dressmaker’s Gift, food was once the language of Evie’s soul. Now, can she remember the recipe for happiness? Revised edition: Previously published as The French for Christmas, this edition of The Recipe for Hope includes editorial revisions. Evie’s running away: from her soon-to-be ex-husband’s shiny new life, from the devastating loss of her baby last year, from a memory-filled London and, most particularly, from Christmas. A remote cottage in the South of France seems like the perfect peaceful place to soothe her sorrows. But the countryside soon proves anything but quiet, from the rooster crowing at dawn to the barn owl hooting through the night—not to mention Evie’s handsome neighbour, doctor Didier, who works away in his garage at all hours. Unexpectedly, the sights and sounds of life amid the sparkling beauty of the Dordogne give Evie a renewed sense of inspiration, and with her French grandmother’s recipe book for company, she begins to rediscover her love of cooking. Soon, the tight-knit community begins to enfold her, reminding Evie what really matters in life. But are Didier’s gorgeous blue eyes on more than Evie’s delicious dinners? And can a cancelled Christmas—complete with a Not-Christmas feast for two—heal her heart?]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/707426Thu, 01 Sep 2022 00:20:35 +0000kathryPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/707426 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Light Through the Vines Author: Fiona Valpy Narrator: Karen Cass Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 24 minutes Release date: September 1, 2022 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: In this tale of fresh starts in the Escape to France collection from bestselling author Fiona Valpy, Gina has lost everything. Can a crumbling old cottage offer her a new life, new love—and new hope? Revised edition: Previously published as The French for Love, this edition of Light Through the Vines includes editorial revisions. Gina’s London life lies in tatters: she has lost her father, her steady job as a wine buyer and her suave but unfaithful boyfriend. When she also suffers the loss of her beloved aunt, a silver lining dawns in the shape of an unexpected legacy: Aunt Liz has left Gina her beautiful, if slightly ramshackle, house in the heart of Bordeaux wine country. With nothing left to lose, Gina takes a chance on a fresh start. Throwing herself into her new life in the beautiful French countryside, Gina discovers the warmth of a close-knit—sometimes too close-knit—rural community and the exhausting exhilaration of the grape harvest under the late-summer sun. But just as she is beginning to feel like she belongs in her crumbling but charming home, she uncovers a long-hidden secret that makes her question the one person she used to trust the most. While she’s worrying that this is a sign to pack her bags and run, a storm blows a hole in the roof, and Gina finds herself with nowhere else to turn except her neighbour’s capable son for help. Before long Gina finds herself admiring handsome Cédric for more than just his stonemasonry skills…But everyone she’s ever held dear has left her or betrayed her. And as the grapes ripen on the vine, can Gina find her way to forgiveness, and could it finally be time for her to open her heart to love again?]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/707428Thu, 01 Sep 2022 00:20:35 +0000kathryPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/707428 to listen full audiobooks.

Lee Narrator: Greg Chun Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 9 minutes Release date: September 1, 2022 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: A death, a lie, a secret. For twenty-six summers he didn’t have the courage to face the past. Lee Hanjo is an artist at the peak of his fame, envied and celebrated. Then, on his forty-third birthday, he awakens to find that his devoted wife has disappeared, leaving behind a soon-to-be-published novel she’d secretly written about the sordid past and questionable morality of an artist with a trajectory similar to Hanjo’s. It’s clear to him that his life is about to shatter and the demons from his past will come out. But why did his wife do it? Why now? The book forces Hanjo to reflect on a summer from his youth when a deadly lie irreversibly and tragically determined the fates of two families. From master storyteller J. M. Lee, one of Korea’s most renowned authors, comes an unforgettable novel of hidden truths, denials, and their inevitable repercussions. Everyone still left standing from that terrible summer so long ago must finally reckon with the deceptions that started it all and, twist after shocking twist, reap both the suffering and the vindication that comes with revenge.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/707421Thu, 01 Sep 2022 00:20:35 +0000kathryPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/707421 to listen full audiobooks.
