Title: After the Hurricane: A Novel Author: Leah Franqui Narrator: Frankie Corzo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 55 minutes Release date: August 9, 2022 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: Named by Etaf Rum as one of the Best Beach Reads of All Time for ''Read with Jenna!'' Reminiscent of Gabriela Garcia’s Of Women and Salt, Leah Franqui brings us an engrossing, deeply personal novel with a mystery at its heart as a daughter returns to Puerto Rico to search for her troubled father, who has gone missing after Hurricane Maria.  From the outside, Elena Vega’s life appears to be an easy one: the only child of two professional parents, private school, NYU. But her twenties are aimless and lacking in connection. Something has always been amiss in her life: her father, the brilliant but deeply troubled Santiago Vega.  Born in rural Puerto Rico, Santiago arrived in New York as a small child. His harsh, mercurial father returned to the island, leaving Santiago to be raised by his mentally ill mother and his formidable grandmother. An outstanding student, he followed scholarships to Stanford, then Yale Law, marrying Elena’s mother along the way. Santiago is the shining star of his migrant family—the one who made it out and struck it rich. But he is a haunted man, plagued by trauma, bipolar disorder, and alcoholism. He’s lost contact with Elena over the years and returned to San Juan to wrestle his demons alone. Then Hurricane Maria strikes, and Santiago vanishes. Desperate to know what happened to the father she once adored, Elena returns to Puerto Rico, a place she loved as a child but hasn’t seen in years. There she must unravel the truth about who her father is, crisscrossing the storm-swept island and reaching deep into his family tree to find relatives she’s never met, each of whom seems to possess a clue about Santiago’s fate.

Title: After the Hurricane: A Novel Author: Leah Franqui Narrator: Frankie Corzo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 55 minutes Release date: August 9, 2022 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: Named by Etaf Rum as one of the Best Beach Reads of All Time for ''Read with Jenna!'' Reminiscent of Gabriela Garcia’s Of Women and Salt, Leah Franqui brings us an engrossing, deeply personal novel with a mystery at its heart as a daughter returns to Puerto Rico to search for her troubled father, who has gone missing after Hurricane Maria.  From the outside, Elena Vega’s life appears to be an easy one: the only child of two professional parents, private school, NYU. But her twenties are aimless and lacking in connection. Something has always been amiss in her life: her father, the brilliant but deeply troubled Santiago Vega.  Born in rural Puerto Rico, Santiago arrived in New York as a small child. His harsh, mercurial father returned to the island, leaving Santiago to be raised by his mentally ill mother and his formidable grandmother. An outstanding student, he followed scholarships to Stanford, then Yale Law, marrying Elena’s mother along the way. Santiago is the shining star of his migrant family—the one who made it out and struck it rich. But he is a haunted man, plagued by trauma, bipolar disorder, and alcoholism. He’s lost contact with Elena over the years and returned to San Juan to wrestle his demons alone. Then Hurricane Maria strikes, and Santiago vanishes. Desperate to know what happened to the father she once adored, Elena returns to Puerto Rico, a place she loved as a child but hasn’t seen in years. There she must unravel the truth about who her father is, crisscrossing the storm-swept island and reaching deep into his family tree to find relatives she’s never met, each of whom seems to possess a clue about Santiago’s fate. A compelling mystery unfolds, as Elena is reunited with family, and with a place she loved and lost—the island of Puerto Rico, which is itself a character in this book. It’s a story of connection, migration, striving, love, and loss, illuminated by humor and affection, written by a novelist at the height of her gifts.]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/strictly-between-us-by-jane-fallon--65270050https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/552623 to listen full audiobooks.

Chiaverini weaves the intersecting threads of these brave women’s lives together, highlighting their deep sense of pride and duty.”—Kirkus Reviews  In June 1917, General John Pershing arrived in France to establish American forces in Europe. He immediately found himself unable to communicate with troops in the field. Pershing needed telephone operators who could swiftly and accurately connect multiple calls, speak fluent French and English, remain steady under fire, and be utterly discreet, since the calls often conveyed classified information. At the time, nearly all well-trained American telephone operators were women—but women were not permitted to enlist, or even to vote in most states. Nevertheless, the U.S. Army Signal Corps promptly began recruiting them. More than 7,600 women responded, including Grace Banker of New Jersey, a switchboard instructor with AT&T and an alumna of Barnard College; Marie Miossec, a Frenchwoman and aspiring opera singer; and Valerie DeSmedt, a twenty-year-old Pacific Telephone operator from Los Angeles, determined to strike a blow for her native Belgium. They were among the first women sworn into the U.S. Army under the Articles of War. The male soldiers they had replaced had needed one minute to connect each call. The switchboard soldiers could do it in ten seconds. Deployed throughout France, including near the front lines, the operators endured hardships and risked death or injury from gunfire, bombardments, and the Spanish Flu. Not all of them would survive.

''Anika Scott pens a fascinating tale of secrets, surveillance, and sisterhood.... The Soviet Sisters will suck you in to the very last page!'' —Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Diamond Eye “Electrifying, meticulously researched, and expertly plotted, The Soviet Sisters is at once a Cold War thriller, a gripping spy story, a page-turning mystery, and a familial drama.” —Lara Prescott, New York Times bestselling author Sisters Vera and Marya were brought up as good Soviets: obedient despite hardships of poverty and tragedy, committed to communist ideals, and loyal to Stalin. Several years after fighting on the Eastern front, both women find themselves deep in the mire of conflicts shaping a new world order in 1947 Berlin. When Marya, an interpreter, gets entangled in Vera’s cryptic web of deceit and betrayal, she must make desperate choices to survive—and protect those she loves.

Faun is a lovable, believable, and wonderfully drawn character who will remain in my heart and mind for a very, very long time.'' — Jessica Anya Blau, author of Mary Jane In a debut perfect for fans of Daisy Jones & The Six, Mary Jane, and Almost Famous, Sarah Priscus shines a bright light on the grungy yet glittery world of 1970s rock 'n' roll and the women – the groupies – who unapologetically love too much in a world that doesn’t love them back. It’s 1977, and Faun Novak is in love with rock ‘n’ roll. After her mother’s death, Faun, a naïve college dropout, grabs her Polaroid and hops a Greyhound to Los Angeles. In the City of Angels, she reconnects with her charismatic childhood friend Josie, now an up-and-coming model and muse. To make their reunion even sweeter, Josie is now dating Cal Holiday, the frontman of the superstar rock band Holiday Sun, and Faun is positively mesmerized. Except it’s not just the band she can’t get enough of. It’s also the proud groupies who support them in myriad ways. Among the groupies are: a doting high school girl at war with her mother; a drug-dealing wife and new mom who longs to be a star herself; and a cynical mover-and-shaker with a soft spot for Holiday Sun’s bassist. Faun obsessively photographs every aspect of this dazzling new world, struggling to balance her artistic ambitions with the band’s expectations. As her confidence grows for the first time in her life, her priorities shift. She becomes reckless with friendship, romance, her ethics, and her bank account. But just as everything is going great and her boring, old life is falling away, Faun realizes just how blind she has been to the darkest corners of this glamorous musical dreamland as the summer heats up and everything spirals out of control . . .

Now that she can’t hide how she feels, Lucy must confront all the injustices—small and large—she’s faced on a daily basis at work, in her relationship, and in every other aspect of her life...and the truth is going to come out in a big way.   This sharp, bighearted, and magical novel tackles all the lies women are encouraged to tell just to get by in today’s world—in life, in love, and in the workplace—and the liberation that can come from telling nothing but the truth.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/552798Tue, 12 Jul 2022 00:20:44 +0000csmithPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/552798 to listen full audiobooks.

London E17, 2019. A yellow kitchen stands as a metaphor for the lifelong friendship between three women: Claude, the baker, goal-orientated Sophie and political Giulia.

That is, until a trip to Lisbon unravels unexplored desires between Claude and Sophie. Having sex is one thing, waking up the day after is the beginning of something new.

The glittering RMS Queen Mary. A nightclub singer on the run. An aristocratic family with secrets worth killing for. London, 1936. Lena Aldridge wonders if life has passed her by. The dazzling theatre career she hoped for hasn’t worked out. Instead, she’s stuck singing in a sticky-floored basement club in Soho, and her married lover has just left her. But Lena has always had a complicated life, one shrouded in mystery as a mixed-race girl passing for white in a city unforgiving of her true racial heritage. She’s feeling utterly hopeless until a stranger offers her the chance of a lifetime: a starring role on Broadway and a first-class ticket on the Queen Mary bound for New York. After a murder at the club, the timing couldn’t be better, and Lena jumps at the chance to escape England. But death follows her onboard when an obscenely wealthy family draws her into their fold just as one among them is killed in a chillingly familiar way. As Lena navigates the Abernathy’s increasingly bizarre family dynamic, she realizes that her greatest performance won't be for an audience, but for her life.

The glittering RMS Queen Mary. A nightclub singer on the run. An aristocratic family with secrets worth killing for. London, 1936. Lena Aldridge wonders if life has passed her by. The dazzling theatre career she hoped for hasn’t worked out. Instead, she’s stuck singing in a sticky-floored basement club in Soho, and her married lover has just left her. But Lena has always had a complicated life, one shrouded in mystery as a mixed-race girl passing for white in a city unforgiving of her true racial heritage. She’s feeling utterly hopeless until a stranger offers her the chance of a lifetime: a starring role on Broadway and a first-class ticket on the Queen Mary bound for New York. After a murder at the club, the timing couldn’t be better, and Lena jumps at the chance to escape England. But death follows her onboard when an obscenely wealthy family draws her into their fold just as one among them is killed in a chillingly familiar way. As Lena navigates the Abernathy’s increasingly bizarre family dynamic, she realizes that her greatest performance won't be for an audience, but for her life.

The bane of her mother’s existence, she admires the notorious queen most in her circle abhor: Eleanor of Aquitaine. Isabelle’s arranged marriage to Gerard a rich, charismatic lord obsessed with falcons seems, at first, to fulfill her longing for adventure. But as Gerard’s controlling nature, and his consuming desire for a male heir, become more apparent, Isabelle, in the spirit of her royal heroine, makes bold, often perilous, decisions which will forever affect her fate. A suspenseful, sweeping tale about marriage, freedom, identity, and motherhood, The Falcon's Eyes brings alive not only a brilliant century and the legendary queen who dominated it, but also the vivid band of complex characters whom the heroine encounters on her journey to selfhood: noblewomen, nuns, servants, falconers, and courtiers. The various settings — Château Ravinour, Fontevraud Abbey, and Queen Eleanor’s exiled court in England — are depicted as memorably as those who inhabit them.

It made me laugh out loud, and it made me really, really want a tattoo.” —Clare Pooley, New York Times bestselling author of The Authenticity Project   An uplifting, feminist coming-of-age love story about a young woman who dreams of becoming a tattoo artist, and living life on her own terms Introvert Gina Mulley is determined to become a tattoo artist, and to find somewhere she belongs in her conventional Long Island town. But this is 1985, when tattooing is still a gritty, male-dominated fringe culture, and Gina’s whimsical style is far from the norm. Luck is on her side: Gina’s older brother Dominic owns a tattoo shop, and he reluctantly grants her one year to prove herself.   Gina devotes herself to perfecting her craft, but her world is turned upside down when a mysterious psychic and his striking assistant, Anna, arrive on the scene. Anna’s friendship opens Gina’s eyes to thrilling possibilities: finally stepping out of her brother’s shadow and embracing her own quirky self, both in her art and beyond.    The tattoo shop is rocked by a crisis just as Gina finds herself falling in love with Anna. When Dominic gives Gina an ultimatum, she’s faced with an impossible choice: Is this newfound independence and a shot at romance worth sacrificing her dreams? Or can she find a way to have it all?]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/548780Tue, 21 Jun 2022 00:20:44 +0000csmithPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/548780 to listen full audiobooks.

Nothing is off limits, except for one man (known on the show only as Name Redacted) who happens to be her high school best friend Ben. During their senior year spring break, Dee and Ben took a road trip to visit Ben’s grandma. They buried a time capsule in her backyard, pledging to return in ten years to open it.

I absolutely loved it.”—Elena Armas, New York Times bestselling author of The Spanish Love Deception ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Cosmopolitan Grey Brooks is on a mission to keep her career afloat now that the end of her long-running teen TV show has her (unsuccessfully) pounding the pavement again. With a life-changing role on the line, she’s finally desperate enough to agree to her publicist’s scheme: fake a love affair with a disgraced Hollywood heartthrob who needs the publicity, but for very different reasons. Ethan Atkins just wants to be left alone. Between his high-profile divorce, struggles with drinking, and grief over the death of his longtime creative partner and best friend, Ethan has slowly let himself fade into the background. But if he ever wants to produce the last movie he and his partner wrote together, Ethan needs to clean up his reputation and step back into the spotlight.

Brooke Fielding, a thirty-eight year old New York investment manager and daughter of Jewish Holocaust survivors, finds her life suddenly upended in late September 1993 when her job is unexpectedly put in jeopardy. Brooke accepts an invitation to join a friend on a mission to Moscow to teach entrepreneurial skills to Russian business women, which will also give her a chance to gain expertise in the new, vast emerging Russian market. Though excited by the opportunity to save her job and be one of the first Americans to visit Russia after the fall of communism, she also wonders what awaits her in the country that persecuted her mother just a generation ago. Inspired by the women she meets, Brooke becomes committed to helping them investigate the crime that threatens their businesses. But as the uprising of the Russian parliament against President Boris Yeltsin turns Moscow into a volatile war zone, Brooke will find that her involvement comes at a high cost. For in a city where “capitalism” is still a dirty word, where neighbors spy on neighbors and the new economy is in the hands of a few dangerous men, nothing Brooke does goes unnoticed—and a mistake in her past may now compromise her future.

Put down your phone and pick it up. . . . A major accomplishment.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) From the co-creator of How I Met Your Mother, a hilarious and thought-provoking debut novel set in New York City, following an unforgettable cast of characters as they navigate life, love, loss, ambition, and spirituality—without ever looking up from their phones   It’s the summer of 2015, and Alice Quick needs to get to work. She’s twenty-eight years old, grieving her mother, barely scraping by as a nanny, and freshly kicked out of her apartment. If she can just get her act together and sign up for the MCAT, she can start chasing her dream of becoming a doctor . . . but in the Age of Distraction, the distractions are so distracting. There’s her tech millionaire brother’s religious awakening. His picture-perfect wife’s emotional breakdown. Her chaotic new roommate’s thirst for adventure. And, of course, there’s the biggest distraction of all: love.   From within the story of one summer in one woman’s life, a tapestry of characters is unearthed, tied to one another by threads both seen and unseen.

Put down your phone and pick it up. . . . A major accomplishment.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) From the co-creator of How I Met Your Mother, a hilarious and thought-provoking debut novel set in New York City, following an unforgettable cast of characters as they navigate life, love, loss, ambition, and spirituality—without ever looking up from their phones   It’s the summer of 2015, and Alice Quick needs to get to work. She’s twenty-eight years old, grieving her mother, barely scraping by as a nanny, and freshly kicked out of her apartment. If she can just get her act together and sign up for the MCAT, she can start chasing her dream of becoming a doctor . . . but in the Age of Distraction, the distractions are so distracting. There’s her tech millionaire brother’s religious awakening. His picture-perfect wife’s emotional breakdown. Her chaotic new roommate’s thirst for adventure. And, of course, there’s the biggest distraction of all: love.   From within the story of one summer in one woman’s life, a tapestry of characters is unearthed, tied to one another by threads both seen and unseen. Filled with all the warmth, humor, and heart that gained How I Met Your Mother its cult following, The Mutual Friend captures in sparkling detail the chaos of contemporary life—a life lived simultaneously in two different worlds, the physical one and the one behind our screens—and reveals how connected we all truly are.]]>605cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/ashton-hall-a-novel-by-lauren-belfer--65270163https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/548809 to listen full audiobooks.

In 1985, Lore Rivera marries Andres Russo in Mexico City, even though she is already married to Fabian Rivera in Laredo, Texas, and they share twin sons. Through her career as an international banker, Lore splits her time between two countries and two families—until the truth is revealed and one husband is arrested for murdering the other. In 2017, while trawling the internet for the latest, most sensational news reports, struggling true-crime writer Cassie Bowman encounters an article detailing that tragic final act. Cassie is immediately enticed by what is not explored: Why would a woman—a mother—risk everything for a secret double marriage? Cassie sees an opportunity—she’ll track Lore down and capture the full picture, the choices, the deceptions that led to disaster. But the more time she spends with Lore, the more Cassie questions the facts surrounding the murder itself.

Money can’t buy happiness… but it can buy a decent fake. Ava Wong has always played it safe. As a strait-laced, rule-abiding Chinese American lawyer with a successful surgeon as a husband, a young son, and a beautiful home—she’s built the perfect life. But beneath this façade, Ava’s world is crumbling: her marriage is falling apart, her expensive law degree hasn’t been used in years, and her toddler’s tantrums are pushing her to the breaking point. Enter Winnie Fang, Ava’s enigmatic college roommate from Mainland China, who abruptly dropped out under mysterious circumstances. Now, twenty years later, Winnie is looking to reconnect with her old friend. But the shy, awkward girl Ava once knew has been replaced with a confident woman of the world, dripping in luxury goods, including a coveted Birkin in classic orange. The secret to her success? Winnie has developed an ingenious counterfeit scheme that involves importing near-exact replicas of luxury handbags and now she needs someone with a U.S. passport to help manage her business—someone who’d never be suspected of wrongdoing, someone like Ava. But when their spectacular success is threatened and Winnie vanishes once again, Ava is left to face the consequences. Swift, surprising, and sharply comic, Counterfeit is a stylish and feminist caper with a strong point of view and an axe to grind. Peering behind the curtain of the upscale designer storefronts and the Chinese factories where luxury goods are produced, Kirstin Chen interrogates the myth of the model minority through two unforgettable women determined to demand more from life.

Enter Winnie Fang, Ava’s enigmatic college roommate from Mainland China, who abruptly dropped out under mysterious circumstances. Now, twenty years later, Winnie is looking to reconnect with her old friend. But the shy, awkward girl Ava once knew has been replaced with a confident woman of the world, dripping in luxury goods, including a coveted Birkin in classic orange. The secret to her success? Winnie has developed an ingenious counterfeit scheme that involves importing near-exact replicas of luxury handbags and now she needs someone with a U.S. passport to help manage her business—someone who’d never be suspected of wrongdoing, someone like Ava. But when their spectacular success is threatened and Winnie vanishes once again, Ava is left to face the consequences. Swift, surprising, and sharply comic, Counterfeit is a stylish and feminist caper with a strong point of view and an axe to grind. Peering behind the curtain of the upscale designer storefronts and the Chinese factories where luxury goods are produced, Kirstin Chen interrogates the myth of the model minority through two unforgettable women determined to demand more from life. ''If you appreciate a good caper, you’ll want to pick up Kirstin Chen’s novel . . . Fast-paced and fun, with smart commentary on the cultural differences between Asia and America.'' — TIME “Propulsive and captivating . . . A provocative story of fashion, friendship, and fakes (in more ways than one).” — VOGUE]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-hop-a-novel-by-diana-clarke--65270052https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/551346 to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Hop: A Novel Author: Diana Clarke Narrator: Olivia Mackenzie-Smith, Adam Verner, Taryn Ryan, Laura Petersen, Carolina Hoyos Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 47 minutes Release date: June 7, 2022 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: “The Hop is a fresh ode to sisterhood and sexual agency that crackles with verve and wit. I couldn't put it down.”—Gabriela Garcia, author of the New York Times bestseller and Good Morning America Pick Of Women and Salt A page-turning feminist novel that tells the story of a poor scrappy girl from rural New Zealand who grows reluctantly into a sex icon, the face of a movement, and a mother, all at the same time. Kate Burns grows up wanting attention from her Ma, but her Ma wants only money and Kate learns how to get both. She and her childhood friend, Lacey, run kissing lessons for cash in the janitor’s closet of Fenbrook High, and just like that, they find themselves in the sex work industry. From there, they go on to work at The Purple Panther, a strip club in Auckland. When Ma dies of cancer, Kate discovers that the men her Ma was always inviting over to their home were, in fact, clients. Ma was no stranger to sex work either.  Following in Ma’s footsteps, Kate heads to Nevada where she picks up a job at America’s most prestigious brothel: The Hop. In her new life as a Bunny, Kate searches for an identity she can perform—the other Bunnies include a goth, a housewife, a cheerleader, a rebel, not to mention Betty, a trans beauty queen, Mia, a Japanese cosplayer, and Rain, a dominatrix. Kate becomes Lady Lane. The girls at The Hop are more fantasy than fact, and performance is always more perfect than the real. Kate is a natural and quickly rises through the ranks to become the bestselling Bunny and the owner, Daddy’s favorite. But when ten street hookers are killed in a nearby city, just bodies with no names, Lady joins her sister Bunnies in mourning and begins to see things in a new light. Lady’s success breeds scandal and unwanted fame, deeply affecting her, transforming her life and The Hop forever. Diana Clarke’s provocative second novel is subversive in the very best way, an unforgettable work of fiction with a radical message about women that couldn’t be more important.

At the dawn of their adolescence, on the eve of the summer solstice, four young girls--Helena, Leonie, Niamh and Elle--took the oath to join Her Majesty's Royal Coven, established by Queen Elizabeth I as a covert government department. Now, decades later, the witch community is still reeling from a civil war and Helena is the reigning High Priestess of the organization.

On the eve of her fortieth birthday, Alice’s life isn’t terrible. She likes her job, even if it isn’t exactly the one she expected. She’s happy with her apartment, her romantic status, and her independence, and she adores her lifelong best friend. But her father is ailing, and it feels to her as if something is missing. When she wakes up the next morning, she finds herself back in 1996, reliving her sixteenth birthday. But it isn’t just her adolescent body that shocks her, or seeing her high school crush—it’s her dad, the vital, charming, forty-something version of her father with whom she is reunited. Now armed with a new perspective on her own life and his, some past events take on new meaning. Is there anything that she would change if she could?]]>605cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/summer-at-the-french-cafe-by-sue-moorcroft--65270185https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/547047 to listen full audiobooks.

In this sweeping tale, at once epic and intimate, Shyam Selvadurai introduces us to Siddhartha Gautama—who will later become “the enlightened one,” or the Buddha—an unusually bright and politically astute young man settling into his upper-caste life as a newlywed to Yasodhara, a woman of great intelligence and spirit. Mansions of the Moon traces the couple’s early love and life together, and then the anguished turmoil that descends upon them both as Siddhartha’s spiritual calling takes over and the marriage partnership slowly, inexorably crumbles. Eventually, Yasodhara is forced to ask what kind of life a woman can lead in ancient India if her husband abandons her—even a well-born woman such as herself. And is there a path she, too, might take towards enlightenment? Award-winning writer Shyam Selvadurai examines these questions with empathy and insight, creating a vivid portrait of a fascinating time and place, the intricate web of power, family and relationships that surround a singular marriage, and the remarkable woman who until now has remained a little-understood shadow in the historical record.

Tucked into the southernmost curve of the Caribbean, Mustique is a private island that has become a haven for the wealthy and privileged. Its owner is the eccentric British playboy Colin Tennant, who is determined to turn this speck of white sand into a luxurious neo-colonial retreat for his rich friends and into a royal court in exile for the Queen’s rebellious sister, Princess Margaret—one where Her Royal Highness can skinny dip, party, and entertain lovers away from the public eye. Willy May, a former beauty queen from Texas—who is also no stranger to marital scandals—seeks out Mustique for its peaceful isolation.

English professor Athena Murphy is an authority on the novels of the Brontë sisters. But as they say in academia, publish or perish. To save her job, Athena decides to write a biography of C.L. Garland, the author heating up bestseller lists with spicy retellings of classic literature. Tracking down the reclusive writer and uncovering her secret identity, though, means Athena must return to her small midwestern hometown where Garland—and her ex-boyfriend, Thorne Kent—live. Seeing Thorne again reminds Athena that real life never lives up to fiction. He was the Heathcliff to her Catherine, the Mr. Rochester to her Jane. Not only did their college breakup shatter that illusion, but they also broke each other’s hearts again a second time. Now she has to see him nearly every...single…day. The only solution is to find C.L. Garland as quickly as possible, write the book, and get the heck out of town. As her deadline looms and the list of potential C.L. Garlands dwindles, Athena and Thorne bicker and banter their way back to friendship. Could it really be true that the third time’s a charm? Athena and Thorne have a love story only a Brontë could write, and the chance for their own happily-ever-after, but first, they’ll need to forgive the mistakes of the past.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/546661Tue, 03 May 2022 00:20:44 +0000csmithPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/546661 to listen full audiobooks.

Not only did their college breakup shatter that illusion, but they also broke each other’s hearts again a second time. Now she has to see him nearly every...single…day. The only solution is to find C.L. Garland as quickly as possible, write the book, and get the heck out of town. As her deadline looms and the list of potential C.L. Garlands dwindles, Athena and Thorne bicker and banter their way back to friendship. Could it really be true that the third time’s a charm? Athena and Thorne have a love story only a Brontë could write, and the chance for their own happily-ever-after, but first, they’ll need to forgive the mistakes of the past.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/one-day-i-shall-astonish-the-world-by-nina-stibbe--65270184https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/546647 to listen full audiobooks.

The tabloids called her crazy and self-destructive and said she’d lost her mind. Now in her late twenties, Fiona believes her humiliating past is firmly behind her. She’s finally regained a modicum of privacy, and she won’t let anything—or anyone—mess it up. Unlike Fiona, Sam Fox, who played her older brother on the popular television show Birds of California, loves the perks that come with being a successful Hollywood actor: fame, women, parties, money. When his current show gets cancelled and his agent starts to avoid his calls, the desperate actor enthusiastically signs on for a Birds of California revival. But to make it happen, he needs Fiona St. James. Against her better judgment, Fiona agrees to have lunch with Sam. What happens next takes them both by surprise. Sam is enthralled by Fiona’s take-no-prisoners attitude, and Fiona discovers a lovable goofball behind Sam’s close-up-ready face. Long drives to the beach, late nights at dive bars . . . theirs is the kind of kitschy romance Hollywood sells. But just like in the rom-coms Fiona despises, there’s a twist that threatens her new love. Sam doesn’t know the full story behind her breakdown.

Unlike Fiona, Sam Fox, who played her older brother on the popular television show Birds of California, loves the perks that come with being a successful Hollywood actor: fame, women, parties, money. When his current show gets cancelled and his agent starts to avoid his calls, the desperate actor enthusiastically signs on for a Birds of California revival. But to make it happen, he needs Fiona St. James. Against her better judgment, Fiona agrees to have lunch with Sam. What happens next takes them both by surprise. Sam is enthralled by Fiona’s take-no-prisoners attitude, and Fiona discovers a lovable goofball behind Sam’s close-up-ready face. Long drives to the beach, late nights at dive bars . . . theirs is the kind of kitschy romance Hollywood sells. But just like in the rom-coms Fiona despises, there’s a twist that threatens her new love. Sam doesn’t know the full story behind her breakdown. What happens when she reveals the truth?]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/empty-vows-by-mary-monroe--65270216https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/546472 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Prophet's Wife: A Novel of an American Faith Author: Libbie Grant Narrator: Sophie Amoss Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 20 hours 54 minutes Release date: March 1, 2022 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: A lyrical novel exploring the origins of the Mormon faith, RECOMMENDED by the New York Times Book Review. “Superb… a first-rate historical novel” – The Denver Post “A masterpiece … perfect for fans of Hilary Mantel and Geraldine Brooks” – Kris Waldherr, author of The Lost History of Dreams In 1825, in rural Pennsylvania, Emma Hale marries an itinerant treasure-digger, a man who has nothing but a peep-stone in his pocket and a conviction that he can speak directly to God. His name is Joseph Smith and in a few short years, he will found his own religion, gather zealous adherents by the tens of thousands, and fracture Emma’s life and faith.  While the Mormon religion finds its feet and runs beyond the grasp of its founder, Emma struggles to maintain her place in Joseph’s heart—and in the religion that has become her world. The Mormons make themselves outcasts everywhere they go. Joseph can only maintain his authority by issuing ever-stranger commandments on God’s behalf, culminating in an edict that men should marry as many women as they please. The Mormons’ adoption of polygamy only sets them further apart, and soon their communities are ravaged by violence at the hands of their outraged fellow Americans. For Emma, things take a more personal toll as Joseph brings in a new wife—a woman whom Emma considers a sister. Emma knows there will never be peace until Joseph faces the law. But on the half-wild edge of the frontier, he’s more likely to find death at the hands of a vigilante posse than a fair trial. For the sake of her people—and her soul—Emma must convince the Prophet of God to surrender... and perhaps to sacrifice his life.  “Probes the emotional maelstrom” – The New York Times Book Review “Fascinating … one of the most interesting and nuanced portrayals of a marriage I’ve read in a very long time … Brilliant.” – Allison Epstein, author of A Tip for the Hangman]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/548309Tue, 01 Mar 2022 00:20:44 +0000csmithPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/548309 to listen full audiobooks.

You’ll never forget this journey.”--Cara Black, New York Times bestselling author of Three Hours in Paris “A sweeping tale of tumult and tragedy— intricate, absorbing, and impeccably depicted, The School of Mirrors will linger in your imagination long after you turn the last page.”--Ann Mah, bestselling author of Jacqueline in Paris A scintillating, gorgeously written historical novel about a mother and a daughter in eighteenth-century France, beginning with decadence and palace intrigue at Versailles and ending in an explosive new era of revolution. During the reign of Louis XV, impoverished but lovely teenage girls from all over France are sent to a discreet villa in the town of Versailles. Overseen by the King’s favorite mistress, Madame de Pompadour, they will be trained as potential courtesans for the King. When the time is right, each girl is smuggled into the palace of Versailles, with its legendary Hall of Mirrors. There they meet a mysterious but splendidly dressed man who they’re told is merely a Polish count, a cousin of the Queen. Living an indulgent life of silk gowns, delicious meals, and soft beds, the students at this “school of mirrors” rarely ask questions, and when Louis tires of them, they are married off to minor aristocrats or allowed to retire to one of the more luxurious nunneries.  Beautiful and canny Veronique arrives at the school of mirrors and quickly becomes a favorite of the King. But when she discovers her lover’s true identity, she is whisked away, sent to give birth to a daughter in secret, and then to marry a wealthy Breton merchant. There is no return to the School of Mirrors. This is also the story of the King’s daughter by Veronique—Marie-Louise. Well-provided for in a comfortable home, Marie-Louise has never known her mother, let alone her father. Capable and intelligent, she discovers a passion for healing and science, and becomes an accredited midwife, one of the few reputable careers for women like her.

You’ll never forget this journey.”--Cara Black, New York Times bestselling author of Three Hours in Paris “A sweeping tale of tumult and tragedy— intricate, absorbing, and impeccably depicted, The School of Mirrors will linger in your imagination long after you turn the last page.”--Ann Mah, bestselling author of Jacqueline in Paris A scintillating, gorgeously written historical novel about a mother and a daughter in eighteenth-century France, beginning with decadence and palace intrigue at Versailles and ending in an explosive new era of revolution. During the reign of Louis XV, impoverished but lovely teenage girls from all over France are sent to a discreet villa in the town of Versailles. Overseen by the King’s favorite mistress, Madame de Pompadour, they will be trained as potential courtesans for the King. When the time is right, each girl is smuggled into the palace of Versailles, with its legendary Hall of Mirrors. There they meet a mysterious but splendidly dressed man who they’re told is merely a Polish count, a cousin of the Queen. Living an indulgent life of silk gowns, delicious meals, and soft beds, the students at this “school of mirrors” rarely ask questions, and when Louis tires of them, they are married off to minor aristocrats or allowed to retire to one of the more luxurious nunneries.  Beautiful and canny Veronique arrives at the school of mirrors and quickly becomes a favorite of the King. But when she discovers her lover’s true identity, she is whisked away, sent to give birth to a daughter in secret, and then to marry a wealthy Breton merchant. There is no return to the School of Mirrors. This is also the story of the King’s daughter by Veronique—Marie-Louise. Well-provided for in a comfortable home, Marie-Louise has never known her mother, let alone her father. Capable and intelligent, she discovers a passion for healing and science, and becomes an accredited midwife, one of the few reputable careers for women like her. But eventually Veronique comes back into her daughter’s life, bringing with her the secret of Marie-Louise’s birth. But the new King—Louis XVI—is teetering on his throne and it’s a volatile time in France…and those with royal relatives must mind their step very carefully.]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/standing-her-ground-classic-short-stories-by-trailblazing-women-by-various--65270130https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/550406 to listen full audiobooks.

Sayers' classic play cycle based on the life and times of Jesus Dorothy L. Sayers was best known for her mystery novels featuring aristocratic amateur sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey. But she was also a poet, playwright and committed Christian, and in The Man Born to Be King she combined art and evangelism to powerful effect, making the story of Christ accessible, relevant and every bit as thrilling as her detective fiction. Written specially for the BBC Radio, the play cycle caused huge controversy for its depiction of Christ as a character, and its use of contemporary speech instead of Biblical language. However it proved extremely popular with listeners, who wrote in to thank Sayers for making Jesus real to them and reigniting their interest in his remarkable story. Based on the four Gospels, it includes one story of the Nativity, six plays about Jesus' life and ministry, and five Passion Plays telling of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the Last Supper, Jesus' arrest and trial before Pontius Pilate, the Crucifixion and the Resurrection. Backed up with a sweeping musical score, these immersive dramas surprise and shock us anew and provide fresh, illuminating insight into 'the greatest story ever told'. The plays included are Kings in Judea, The King's Herald, A Certain Nobleman, The Heirs to the Kingdom, The Bread of Heaven, The Feast of Tabernacles, The Light and The Life, Royal Progress, The King's Supper, The Princes of This World, King of Sorrows and The King Comes to His Own.

She’s back in her college town in the year 2002, and she thinks she's been given a second chance to do things over—that is, until she comes face-to-face with her unruly eighteen-year-old self, who goes by the name of Lexi because it's sexier. Right from the get-go, she has to get acclimated to life in the early 2000s again, which has its ups (no Kardashians) and downs (no cell phone). Once she meets Lexi though, the hard part truly begins. First, Alexis must convince her that she is, in fact, from the future. Then she has to convince Lexi to let her live in the dorm with her. Finally, they must learn to get along and come to terms with the fact that, alone, they will never make things right but, together, they could change their life for the better.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-actress-by-elizabeth-sims--65270224https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/552061 to listen full audiobooks.

If she doesn't land a paying job soon—horror movie, soap commercial, anything—she's afraid her ex-husband will use her dire financial straits to take away Petey, her cherished four-year-old son. While she's charming the crowd at storytime at the LA public library, a celebrity defense attorney approaches her with an unusual job offer: So long as she's discreet, Rita can rake in a thousand dollars a day preparing his client for her appearance in court. Easy money? Hardly. His client, Eileen Tenaway, is not only a wealthy heiress and a queen of the tabloids but she's been charged with the murder of her own child. The attorney needs Rita to coach Eileen secretly to help her seem more sympathetic, more human. He needs the jury to believe not only her words but the subtle cues of body language, facial expressions, even vocal style. Rita knows she can do it, but what she doesn't know is how determined she'll become to find out what really happened to Eileen's family—once her own life and Petey's life depend on it.

It is also a beguiling rumination on the mysteries of intimacy, trust, faith, knowledge, and the condition of universal shipwreck that unites us all. Jenny Offill’s heroine, referred to in these pages as simply “the wife,” once exchanged love letters with her husband postmarked Dept. of Speculation, their code name for all the uncertainty that inheres in life and in the strangely fluid confines of a long relationship. As they confront an array of common catastrophes—a colicky baby, a faltering marriage, stalled ambitions—the wife analyzes her predicament, invoking everything from Keats and Kafka to the thought experiments of the Stoics to the lessons of doomed Russian cosmonauts. She muses on the consuming, capacious experience of maternal love, and the near total destruction of the self that ensues from it as she confronts the friction between domestic life and the seductions and demands of art. With cool precision, in language that shimmers with rage and wit and fierce longing, Jenny Offill has crafted an exquisitely suspenseful love story that has the velocity of a train hurtling through the night at top speed.

Title: [Spanish] - Donde me encuentro Author: Jhumpa Lahiri Narrator: Elsa Veiga Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 46 minutes Release date: November 18, 2021 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: La nueva novela de la gran autora revelación de los últimos años, ganadora del Premio Pulitzer, y su mayor desafío literario: las estaciones de una mujer de hoy. Una mujer camina por una ciudad contemplando su soledad y la de quienes la rodean. A medida que se desarrolla su día a día -de una librería a la consulta de su terapeuta o a un restaurante- se sorprende con la súplica silenciosa de una lápida en la carretera, el diálogo accidentado de un padre con su hija, el recuerdo del encuentro con la inesperada amante de su antigua pareja o la silueta de un puente al anochecer. Cuando se cruza con el novio de su amiga por la calle, las posibilidades agridulces de un amor inexplorado la llevan a interrogarse acerca de su aislamiento y libertad, y cómo ha repercutido en sus relaciones afectivas. Donde me encuentro sigue a esta mujer a través de las cuatro estaciones, dejando que cada una desvele un poco más sobre quién es mientras ella averigua qué es lo que realmente quiere. Jhumpa Lahiri emprende su mayor desafío literario al escribir, como Nabokov o Kafka, en una lengua ajena (el italiano) una historia universal y asombrosa: una novela sobre los pequeños milagros de la vida. «Elijo el italiano, elijo tener una vida aún más polifacética, elijo un triángulo en el que me encuentro a gusto. Siento mi pertenencia hacia unos pocos elementos: mi familia, mis hijos, mi marido, mis amigos, la literatura, el panteón de los escritores que más quiero. Y pertenezco al italiano. El italiano es un gran amor, forma parte de mi identidad.» Jhumpa Lahiri, LitHub La crítica ha dicho... «Libro soberbio.» J. Ernesto Ayala-Dip, Qué Leer «Leer a Jhumpa Lahiri siempre es un acierto.» Leire Escalada, El Español «Una revelación reciente: Lahiri tiene una forma muy original de contemplar el mundo.» Manuel Vilas, Mujer Hoy «Una novela sobre los pequeños milagros de la vida en una lengua ajena. Ambiciosa y exquisita, sin duda.» Eric Gras, El Periódico «Siempre hay un hueco para la literatura que ambiciona la exquisitez, como la de la norteamericana de origen indio Jhumpa Lahiri, que ha decidido saltar al italiano con Donde me encuentro.» Carles Geli, El País «La historia de una mujer que quiere desarraigarse y saber qué significa. Que quiere cruzar una frontera pero que le da miedo.» Raquel García, Cadena Ser «Una fotografía meditativa y dolorosa de una vida en suspensión. [...] Lahiri florece y se exhibe a través de un retrato escrito con mucha belleza que captura las esperanzas, frustraciones y anhelos de la soledad y el recuerdo.» Publishers Weekly [starred review] «Hipnótico. [...] Un libro cuyo peculiar magnetismo radica en enfrentar candor y timidez.» Anthony Cummins, The Guardian «Hábil. [...] Las frases de Lahiri alcanzan una belleza minimalista.» Madeleine Thien, The New York Times Book Review «El lenguaje de Lahiri roza la pintura realista como si el libro hubiera sido tamizado a través de una fina malla: cada palabra es una piedra preciosa y reluciente. [...] Una evocación incisiva y cautivadora de la naturaleza y del nexo entre el lugar y el yo.» Donna Seaman, Booklist «Elegante, sutil y triste. [...] Su prosa, sobria y reflexiva, así como su profundo mundo interior, recuerdan a la obra de Rachel Cusk o Sigrid Nunez.» Kirkus]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/549528Thu, 18 Nov 2021 00:20:44 +0000csmithPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/549528 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - El silencio de las olas Author: ángela Banzas Narrator: Susana Leis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 22 hours 10 minutes Release date: November 18, 2021 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: Un sueño recurrente y perturbador. Un misterioso camafeo y una mujer en busca de respuestas. Un secreto silenciado durante años rompe el rumor de las olas Adela Roldán, casada y con un hijo, lleva una apacible vida en familia salvo por una pesadilla recurrente que la perturba desde que era solo una niña. En ella ve cómo una joven es asesinada en presencia de su hija pequeña. Cuando despierta no recuerda nada más, hasta que una noche identifica el nombre del pueblo en el que ocurre todo: Vilar de Fontao, en Galicia. Decide viajar hasta allí y comprobar si la casa donde tiene lugar el horrible crimen existe. Lo que Adela desconoce es que, en realidad, emprenderá un viaje de más de cien años que la llevará desde un pazo en la Costa da Morte hasta la ciudad de Santiago de Compostela. Un viaje en el que perseguirá descubrir la verdad sin saber que se acerca a un secreto que unos intentan desvelar y que otros quieren preservar. Haciendo gala de un estilo lleno de resonancias e imágenes evocadoras, Ángela Banzas construye con maestría una novela que conecta la historia de varias generaciones de mujeres que deberán sobreponerse a la adversidad, a la traición, al dolor y al miedo, sin dejar de luchar con pasión por aquello en lo que creen en unos tiempos marcados por el clasismo rural, el hambre y la guerra, los bandos, la desconfianza y la muerte. «Aprende a amar tu destino. Cuando otros vean lluvia y la repudien, tú sonríe a la tierra agrietada y mortecina y espera la simiente que crecerá mañana. Sé paciente y perservera, pues en la oscuridad la luz brilla con más fuerza».

Title: [Spanish] - Purga Author: Sofi Oksanen Narrator: Diego Rousselon, Nacho Béjar, Charo Soria Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 22 minutes Release date: November 18, 2021 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: En esta novela de múltiples lecturas y matices, que por su originalidad y maestría nos asombra y sobrecoge, Oksanen traza los efectos devastadores del miedo, la humillación y la inagotable capacidad humana para la supervivencia. Muy raramente surge una novela que suscite un entusiasmo tan unánime como esta tercera obra de ficción de la escritora finlandesa Sofi Oksanen, joven prodigio de la narrativa nórdica. Merecedora de los premios más importantes de su país -el Mika Waltari, el Finlandia, el Runeberg-, así como del renombrado Premio de Literatura del Consejo Nórdico, Purga ha sido el libro revelación en Francia, donde se han vendido más de doscientos mil ejemplares y ha obtenido el prestigioso Premio Femina de literatura extranjera. Por último, fue galardonada con el Premio a la Mejor Novela Europea del Año 2010. En una despoblada zona rural de Estonia, en 1992, recuperada la independencia de la pequeña república báltica, Aliide Truu, una anciana que malvive sola junto al bosque, encuentra en su jardín a una joven desconocida, exhausta y desorientada. Se trata de Zara, una veinteañera rusa, víctima del tráfico de mujeres, que ha logrado escapar de sus captores y ha acudido a la casa de Aliide en busca de una ayuda que necesita desesperadamente. A medida que Aliide supera la desconfianza inicial, y se establece un frágil vínculo entre las dos mujeres, emerge un complejo drama de viejas rivalidades y deslealtades que han arruinado la vida de una familia. La crítica ha dicho... «La novela brilla por su estructura, saltos temporales, ambientación histórica o dosificación del misterio. Pero esas dos formas de quebrarse una mujer, por dentro y por fuera, adquieren categoría de gran literatura. Por eso Purga sigue y seguirá ganando premios. Por eso hay que leerla.» Ricard Ruiz, Qué Leer «Una lección magistral de técnica narrativa [...] Difícilmente olvidaremos, después de cerrar el libro, los personajes y sus historias [...] una novela de lo más recomendable.» Laura Freixas, La Vanguardia «Gracias a su espléndida estructura temporal y a un desvelamiento bien dosificado de los hechos por medio de capítulos cortos, la novela permite al lector recomponer el puzle.» Antonio Lozano, La Vanguardia «Purga es una novela de sentimientos que abre la puerta al pasado y motiva a detenerse en el presente.» Emma Rodríguez, El Mundo 'Una obra maestra. Espero que todos los lectores del mundo lean Purga.' Nancy Huston «Apasionante, original, soberbia. Es difícil encontrar adjetivos que hagan justicia a esta novela premiada internacionalmente.» KulturSpiegel «Sofi Oksanen se ha convertido en un verdadero fenómeno literario. Purga es un trabajo brillante que no abandonará fácilmente la imaginación del lector.» The Times «Se lee sin aliento y con los dedos agarrotados. Resulta casi insoportable, pero no podemos hacer otra cosa que seguir adelante hasta el final. [...] Extraordinariamente buena.» Berlingke Tidende «Una novela dura y hermosa al mismo tiempo. Uno queda atrapado en su admirable descripción del miedo y la mentira.» Livres Hebdo «Una novela brillante [...] Oksanen ha creado una obra de arte conmovedora y sensible a los infortunios ajenos.» The New Republic «Una historia sobre el silencio, la claustrofobia, la vergüenza y el secretismo.

Cuando emprenden el camino de regreso a casa, un extraño se ofrece a llevarlas en su coche. Ellas, confiadas ante la amabilidad del desconocido, aceptan. Las niñas solo se alarman al ver que dejan atrás el desvío que debían haber tomado. Cuando Aliona saca su móvil y el hombre se lo arrebata de las manos, las hermanas comprenden que están en peligro. La pesadilla acaba de comenzar. Así arranca La desaparición, como un noir que transcurre a lo largo de un año en la gélida y remota región de Kamchat­ka, aunque muy pronto se revela como mucho más. Sin duda hay un misterio que resolver: ¿qué incierto destino aguarda a las hermanas Golosóvskaia? Pero, ante todo, la novela –estructurada en trece capítulos que se centran en otros tantos personajes femeninos, todos ellos conectados por el secuestro de las niñas– plasma con maestría el impacto que el terrible suceso tendrá en la vida de las mujeres de Kamchatka y saca a relucir las distintas formas de violencia que padecen. Víctimas de la inestabilidad y el desam­paro, sienten que la tierra sobre la que caminan podría desaparecer en cualquier momento, y se preguntan qué será lo próximo que la vida les arrebate. Considerada por la crítica estadounidense una de las irrupciones literarias más relevantes de los últimos tiempos, Julia Phillips ha escrito una impactante novela que, gracias a su estilo absorbente, sobrio y poético, y a una enorme empatía hacia sus personajes, se erige como una hipnótica historia de historias en la que convergen el suspense, la más acuciante denuncia y la deriva existencial.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/551554Tue, 19 Oct 2021 00:20:44 +0000csmithPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/551554 to listen full audiobooks.

Tamara Trottner escribe su primer libro como quien lleva toda la vida escribiendo. Porque quien descubre y entiende el dolor y las dichas de otros, teje su destino con madurez y generosidad. Éste es un libro que emociona y fascina.» Ángeles Mastretta «La mesa es redonda. De caoba. Cabe apenas un teléfono gris de disco. Miro hacia arriba, a esta edad todo se mira hacia arriba. Mi hermano y yo escuchamos angustiados las palabras que nuestro padre dice al auricular. Yo paseo la mirada de uno al otro sin entender muy bien lo que sucede. Acabo de cumplir cinco años. Éste es el último día de mi infancia.» La pasión no se equivoca, pero a veces se extravía. Por venganza en contra de su esposa, un hombre secuestra a sus hijos y huye con ellos a distintos países. Comienza así una guerra entre dos poderosas familias que ejercen su autoridad y su riqueza hasta las últimas consecuencias. Para una niña de cinco años es difícil comprender que su vida se vea sacudida por una tolvanera de amores y odios, venganza y protección, verdades imperiosas y, sin embargo, opuestas: odiar a quien más ama, confiar en quien le ha mentido. En esta nueva existencia, ella tratará de entender que hay amores que no tienen remedio, que hay vidas que no son normales, que hay odios que no tienen válvula de escape, y que la única verdad absoluta es que el amor incondicional está lleno de condiciones. «Siempre me pregunté qué contaría la historia de Ana Karenina de haber sido escrita por una mujer. Nadie nos vio partir es narrada por Tamara Trottner de tal manera que ofrece una posible respuesta. Una profunda novela familiar, mexicana y universal al mismo tiempo. Espléndida.» Alma Delia Murillo]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/550523Thu, 14 Oct 2021 00:20:44 +0000csmithPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/550523 to listen full audiobooks.

These days she has one priority: keeping her sister safe and away from the public eye. Hannah was doing a great job, until the pesky little brother of an ex-fling discovers where she is, and wants her help launching his career. Now she has to trust Johnny—whom she betrayed in more ways than one—to protect her whereabouts. Johnny may have an infuriating moral compass and the timing of a storybook hero, but is he immune to the temptation of revenge? Johnny’s focus has always been his music business, and a bad influence like Hannah is the last thing he needs at work, or around his brother. But some things are too powerful to be stopped. For someone like Hannah, second chances—in life and in true love—don’t exist. She didn’t think so, at least. Johnny is about to prove her wrong, and being wrong has never felt so right.

Title: [Spanish] - Cantoras (en Espanol) Author: Carolina De Robertis Narrator: Carolina De Robertis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 15 minutes Release date: October 7, 2021 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: “Cantoras es audaz y desacomplejada, un reto a la noción de normalidad y un tributo al poder del amor, la amistad, y la resistencia política. Es una fábula revolucionaria, ideal para este momento, escrita con sabiduría y amor”. —Dina Nayeri, The New York Times Book Review En el Uruguay de 1977, el gobierno militar oprime a los disidentes con una fuerza brutal. En este ambiente opresivo donde los derechos personales están suspendidos, la homosexualidad es una transgresión peligrosa que debe ser castigada. Aun así, Romina, Flaca, Anita “La Venus”, Paz, y Malena—cinco cantoras—se encuentran milagrosamente en Cabo Polonio, un lugar aislado que reclaman como su santuario secreto. Y este despertar se contrapone al telón de fondo político del golpe de estado, la represión y las “desapariciones”. Durante los siguientes treinta y cinco años, sus vidas se reparten entre Montevideo, su ciudad de residencia, y el cabo, al que regresan –a veces juntas, a veces en parejas, con amantes, o solas. Una y otra vez, estas mujeres serán puestas a prueba—por sus familias, sus parejas, la sociedad y hasta por ellas mismas—mientras descubren como vivir de manera auténtica. Cantoras, la obra maestra de De Robertis, es un asombroso retrato de amor, comunidad, historia, y la fuerza del espíritu humano. Eterna e innovadora, Cantoras es una novela sobre el fuego que existe en el alma y sobre quienes lo hacen arder. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION 'Cantoras is a stunning lullaby to revolution - and each woman in this novel sings it with a deep ferocity. Again and again, I was lifted, then gently set down again - either through tears, rage, or laughter. Days later, I am still inside this song of a story.' (Jacqueline Woodson, National Book Award-winning author) From the highly acclaimed, award-winning author of The Gods of Tango, a revolutionary new novel about five wildly different women who, in the midst of the Uruguayan dictatorship, find one another as lovers, friends, and ultimately, family. In 1977 Uruguay, a military government crushed political dissent with ruthless force. In this environment,where the everyday rights of people are under attack, homosexuality is a dangerous transgression to be punished. And yet Romina, Flaca, Anita 'La Venus', Paz, and Malena - five cantoras, women who 'sing' - somehow, miraculously, find one another. Together, they discover an isolated, nearly uninhabited cape, Cabo Polonio, which they claim as their secret sanctuary. Over the next 35 years, their lives move back and forth between Cabo Polonio and Montevideo, the city they call home, as they return, sometimes together, sometimes in pairs, with lovers in tow, or alone. And throughout, again and again, the women will be tested - by their families, lovers, society, and one another - as they fight to live authentic lives. A genre-defining novel and De Robertis's masterpiece, Cantoras is a breathtaking portrait of queer love, community, forgotten history, and the strength of the human spirit. At once timeless and groundbreaking, Cantoras is a tale about the fire in all our souls and those who make it burn.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/547483Thu, 07 Oct 2021 00:20:44 +0000csmithPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/547483 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Suite francesa Author: Irène Némirovsky Narrator: Sheila Blanco Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 27 minutes Release date: September 23, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 2 of Total 1 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: Novela excepcional escrita en condiciones excepcionales, Suite francesa retrata con maestría una época fundamental de la Europa del siglo XX. En otoño de 2004 le fue concedido el premio Renaudot, otorgado por primera vez a un autor fallecido. Imbuida de un claro componente autobiográfico, Suite francesa se inicia en París los días previos a la invasión alemana, en un clima de incertidumbre e incredulidad. Enseguida, tras las primeras bombas, miles de familias se lanzan a las carreteras en coche, en bicicleta o a pie. Némirovsky dibuja con precisión las escenas, unas conmovedoras y otras grotescas, que se suceden en el camino: ricos burgueses angustiados, amantes abandonadas, ancianos olvidados en el viaje, los bombardeos sobre la población indefensa, las artimañas para conseguir agua, comida y gasolina. A medida que los alemanes van tomando posesión del país, se vislumbra un desmoronamiento del orden social imperante y el nacimiento de una nueva época. La presencia de los invasores despertará odios, pero también historias de amor clandestinas y públicas muestras de colaboracionismo. Concebida como una composición en cinco partes -de las cuales la autora sólo alcanzó a escribir dos- Suite francesa combina un retrato intimista de la burguesía ilustrada con una visión implacable de la sociedad francesa durante la ocupación. Con lucidez, pero también con un desasosiego notablemente exento de sentimentalismo, Némirovsky muestra el fiel reflejo de una sociedad que ha perdido su rumbo. El tono realista y distante de Némirovsky le permite componer una radiografía fiel del país que la ha abandonado a su suerte y la ha arrojado en manos de sus verdugos. Estamos pues ante un testimonio profundo y conmovedor de la condición humana, escrito sin la facilidad de la distancia ni la perspectiva del tiempo, por alguien que no llegó a conocer siquiera el final del cataclismo que le tocó vivir. La crítica ha dicho... «Una narración de un vigor extraordinario.» Le Monde «Una obra excelente.» New York Times «Es preciso leer este libro.» Le Nouvel Observateur «Una obra maestra.» L'Express «Un libro de una calidad literaria excepcional.» TLS «Sensacional recuperación [...] Némirovsky registra con portentosa serenidad, sin consentirse ninguna flaqueza sentimental, la perturbación de los hombres y mujeres zarandeados por la guerra. [...] Se trata de una escritora que crea adicción.» Babelia «La lectura de este libro significa mucho más que el simple acercamiento a un documento trágico de una época fundamental para la historia de Europa.» ABC de las letras «Literatura de la mejor cepa. [...] Suite francesa por lo tanto, además de ficción pura, es un documento personal y directo del mismo rango que el Diario de Ana Frank o Una mujer en Berlín de autora anónima.» Culturas «Hay novelas llenas de verdad capaces de conservar intacto entre sus páginas un trozo del mundo. Ésta es una de ellas.» Territorios «Suite francesa es una excelente novela que ha crecido con los años. [...] La obra de Némirovsky debe interpretarse como un acto de resistencia del espíritu contra el fanatismo y la intolerancia Sus palabras aún nos iluminan.» El Cultural «Un fresco extraordinario, de una hondura humana e inteligencia literaria prodigiosos.» Caballo Verde]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/547956Thu, 23 Sep 2021 00:20:44 +0000csmithPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/547956 to listen full audiobooks.

Sus alumnas son brillantes, decididas y sofisticadas, pero en el fondo no dejan de ser también adolescentes que buscan su propio camino, exploran sus ambiciones y se enfrentan a sus miedos. Nada más empezar el curso, sale a la luz una alarmante noticia: una de las alumnas ha puesto una denuncia contra un profesor por conducta sexual inapropiada y el centro pretende silenciar el escándalo.

It’s been thirty years since May DuBerry, Willy’s young wife and Lacey’s mother, abandoned them both, leaving Willy to raise Lacey alone. Lacey Cherrymill is smart, stubborn, and focused. She’s also single mother to a young daughter recently diagnosed with a devastating illness. The last thing she needs to think about right now is the betrayal that rocked her childhood. Reluctantly, she has returned to her rural beginnings, a former dairy farm in the Maryland countryside, and to Willy, a man steeped in his own disappointments and all the guilt that goes with them. Together they will pool their wobbly emotional resources to take care of Lacey’s daughter, Tasha, all the while trying to skirt the issue of May’s mysterious disappearance. But try as she might, Lacey can’t leave it alone. Just where is May DuBerry Cherrymill and why did she leave them, and how is it that they have never talked about the wreckage she left behind? A Hand to Hold in Deep Water is a deeply felt narrative about mothers and daughters, the legacy of secrets, the way we make a family, and the love of those who walk us through our deepest pain. It is about the way we are tethered to one another and how we choose to wear those bindings.

It’s 1863, nearly twenty years since Ida Lange came to New Zealand to change her life and realize a dream. With her best friend, Cat, she established a thriving sheep farm on the continental plains where their combined families settled—and succeeded. But the idyll of Rata Station could be reaching an end. The fires of change are coming again, and this time it’s Ida’s and Cat’s daughters—Mara, Carol, and Linda—who will get swept up in the ensuing chaos. The spirited Mara is in the first blush of romantic awakening with a half-Maori boy torn between two heritages. Mara’s love for him is a greater risk than either of them can imagine. Carol, engaged to the son of a local sheep baron, has a prospect that seems safe—yet fate has other plans. And Linda, Carol’s sweet-natured “twin,” who holds the family secret of her heritage close to her heart, can’t imagine a life outside Rata Station. Then a sudden tragedy throws the families into peril and desperation. As tensions escalate between the warring Maori tribes and English settlers, Mara, Carol, and Linda struggle to overcome increasing hardships for themselves and for each other. Drawing on their strong will, resilience, and unbreakable bond, they’ll do anything to secure their future at Rata Station before it slips away forever.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/549029Tue, 20 Oct 2020 00:20:44 +0000csmithPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/549029 to listen full audiobooks.

When Noah Ainsley wakes up in a hospital room with no recollection of how she got there, all she knows is that she needs to see Elliot, the love of her life. Then she learns the horrifying truth: her short-term memory has been destroyed by a car accident. She and Elliot broke up five years ago. And now she’s married to Anderson, a man she doesn’t even recognise. In an instant Noah’s world is turned on its head. All she wants is Elliot by her side, but it’s clear Anderson is hurt by her rejection. Can she really have fallen in love with this stranger? Nothing makes sense—and when even Elliot refuses to answer her questions, Noah is left feeling all alone. But as her memories slowly return, Noah begins to wonder if she’s been wrong to shut Anderson out—and wrong to put all her trust in Elliot. The ex she loves and the husband she doesn’t remember hold the keys to her past. And when the truth is finally revealed, which future will Noah’s heart choose?]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/549028Tue, 06 Oct 2020 00:20:44 +0000csmithPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/549028 to listen full audiobooks.

Then she meets Sam a dashing Clark Gable look-alike and chauffeur to a wealthy London businessman - and suddenly her life is changed forever... Will Sam be the answer to her prayers? A Better World Than This won the Romantic Novelists' Award. Daisy's story continues in A World Apart.]]>305cleanfull
