After a long, precarious stretch bouncing among sketchy rentals and sublets, she and her family are living in luxury for a year, house-sitting in the hills above Los Angeles. The gig magically coincides with Jane’s sabbatical, giving her the time and space she needs to finish her second novel—a centuries-spanning epic her artist husband, Lenny, dubs her “mulatto War and Peace.” Finally, some semblance of stability and success seems to be within her grasp. But things don’t work out quite as hoped. Desperate for a plan B, like countless writers before her Jane turns her gaze to Hollywood.

After a long, precarious stretch bouncing among sketchy rentals and sublets, she and her family are living in luxury for a year, house-sitting in the hills above Los Angeles. The gig magically coincides with Jane’s sabbatical, giving her the time and space she needs to finish her second novel—a centuries-spanning epic her artist husband, Lenny, dubs her “mulatto War and Peace.” Finally, some semblance of stability and success seems to be within her grasp. But things don’t work out quite as hoped. Desperate for a plan B, like countless writers before her Jane turns her gaze to Hollywood.

Widowed for many years, she enjoys the view from her home on the New Jersey shore, visits with friends, and tai chi at the local retirement community. But when her beloved grandson, Will, and his wife, Teru, show up for a visit, things are soon upended. Their marriage is threatening to unravel, and Will has questions for his grandmother—questions about family secrets that have been lost for decades and are now finally rising to the surface. But telling Will the truth involves returning to the past, and to Mieke’s childhood in coastal Holland. There, in the last years of World War II, she survived the Hunger Winter, a brutal season when food and heat were cut off and thousands of Dutch citizens starved. Her memories weave together childhood magic and the madness of history, and carry readers from the windy beaches of the Hague to the dark cells of a concentration camp, through the bends of eel-filled rivers, and, finally, to the story of Will’s father, absent since Will’s childhood. Our Narrow Hiding Places is a sweeping story of survival and of the terrible cost of war—and a reminder that sometimes the traumas we inherit come along with a resilience we never imagined.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/728563Tue, 13 Aug 2024 07:10:52 +0000Ewald RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/728563 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Divorce: A Novel Author: Moa Herngren Narrator: Cameron Krogh Stone, Sofia Engstrand Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 0 minutes Release date: August 6, 2024 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: An addictive domestic drama set during one hot Stockholm summer that marks the American debut of #1 Swedish bestselling author Moa Herngren. “The collapse of a thirty-two-year marriage is depicted with an even hand in this book, which amounts to two parallel novels: one about a woman 'feverish with confusion,' who feels that she was abandoned without warning, and another about a man who has been grappling with the end of his relationship for months. . . . As Herngren stitches together the couple’s perspectives, she writes with a sharp neutrality, never overplaying the book’s many tense moments of discovery or languishing in the wife’s despair.” —The New Yorker There are two sides to every story . . . Bea couldn't be more excited to trade the stifling Stockholm summer heat for vacation on Gotland Island. She’s looking forward to spending quality time with her beloved husband of thirty-two years, Niklas, and their two moody teenage daughters, and recuperating from the stress of daily life in the company of her beloved in-laws. One night shortly before their departure, Bea and Niklas have a seemingly mundane argument over a trivial issue, and Niklas goes out with a friend to blow off steam. As the hours pass, Niklas doesn’t come home, and Bea’s irritation soon gives way to panic as she imagines what kind of disaster might have happened to delay his return. What she soon learns will change her life forever: while her husband is fine, their marriage is not. Her kind, gentle pediatrician husband wants to leave her. But while this might seem like sudden insanity to Bea, for Niklas, it’s anything but…  Written with the warmth and empathy that have made her insightful, page-turning family novels bestsellers in her native Sweden, Moa Herngren raises thoughtful questions about why relationships fall apart: Is the person who leaves always the bad guy? What emerges once you begin scratching the surface of what seems like a clear-cut situation? Told from dual perspectives, The Divorce is a gripping novel that deftly explores the complexities of modern marriage.

When they marry, Jane believes she has found everything she was looking for, including—a few years later—all the attendant joys and labors of motherhood. But it’s not long until Jane finds herself subsumed by John’s ambitions, whims, and ego; in short, she becomes a wife. As Jane’s career flourishes, their marriage starts to falter. Throughout the upheavals of family life, Jane tries to hold it all together. That is, until John leaves her. Liars is a tour de force of wit and rage, telling the blistering story of a marriage as it burns to the ground, and of a woman rising inexorably from its ashes.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/721844Tue, 23 Jul 2024 07:10:52 +0000Ewald RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/721844 to listen full audiobooks.

A phone call summons fifty-eight-year-old Cherie Anderson from a frozen Minnesota to help her two mothers: Dale, the mother who left her when she was five and is facing eviction from her budget-apartment complex, Soleil City, and Marlys, the mother who raised her from that moment on—and who’s now dying, but won’t admit it to her daughter. Cherie seeks a reason to stay in town long enough to give Dale the help she’s finally asked for and Marlys the help she clearly needs. And she must find a project to distract her pregnant daughter, Laura, whose marriage has fallen apart just weeks before her due date. The South Florida Senior Synchronized Swimming Competition seems to be the answer. The publicity from winning the contest, along with the ten-thousand-dollar prize money, could help save Soleil City. With Laura, who used to captain a dance team, as their coach, they’ve got a fighting chance. And with everyone else preoccupied by the competition, Cherie can focus on saving Marlys before it’s too late.

Mónica Campo is pregnant with her first child when, moments before being wheeled into emergency heart surgery, her mother confesses a long-held secret: Mónica’s father is not the man who raised her. But when her mother wakes up and begins having delusional episodes, Mónica doesn’t know what to believe—whether the confession was real or just a channeling of the telenovela her mother watches nightly. In her despair, Mónica wants to speak with only one person: her ex-boyfriend of five years, Manny. She can’t help but worry, though, what this says about her relationship with her fiancé and father of her unborn child. Mónica’s search for the truth leads her to a new understanding of the past—the early ’80s, when her parents arrived from Cuba on the famous Mariel boatlift, and the tumultuous ’70s, a decade after Castro’s takeover, when some people were still secretly fighting his regime—people like her mother and the man she claims is Mónica’s real father.

And she’s intent on not prying into their lives while they’re all together, cleaning out her late parents’ Colorado home. But from the start, nothing goes as planned. Her free-spirited daughter, Slade, and her strait-laced son, Reed, both arrive ahead of schedule, and no one is explaining why. Marin knows they’re hiding issues in their personal lives. But she can only push so far because she, too, is keeping secrets.   Setting aside family tensions, the three of them get to work purging the house. But when Slade discovers a decades-old newspaper clipping about a body found on the rocks below the house, questions arise. Marin insists the death was ruled an accident, but Slade’s curiosity is piqued. And when a roof leak compels Marin to call on an old friend and flame for help, it’s the catalyst for a wave of revelations.   Between a daughter bent on distracting herself from her own career turmoil, a son desperate to hold on to his marriage and a mother forced to confront her choices from that long-ago summer, pieces of the past and present begin to unravel. And before the summer is over, they each must decide what to hold on to and what to let go…]]>305falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-silence-in-between-by-josie-ferguson--65302866https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/718652 to listen full audiobooks.

It is spring 1919, and John Sawtelle’s imagination has gotten him into trouble … again. Now John and his newlywed wife, Mary, along with their two best friends and their three dogs, are setting off for Wisconsin’s northwoods, where they hope to make a fresh start—and, with a little luck, discover what it takes to live a life of meaning, purpose, and adventure. But the place they are headed for is far stranger and more perilous than they realize, and it will take all their ingenuity, along with a few new friends—human, animal, and otherworldly—to realize their dreams. By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, mysterious and enchanting, Familiaris takes readers on an unforgettable journey from the halls of a small-town automobile factory, through an epic midwestern firestorm and an ambitious WWII dog-training program, and far back into mankind’s ancient past, examining the dynamics of love and friendship, the vexing nature of families, the universal desire to create something lasting and beautiful, and of course, the species-long partnership between Homo sapiens and Canis familiaris.

Nora November is alive—but she wasn’t always. She was once clinically dead, having spent several minutes under water after a terrible surfing accident she doesn’t remember. What she does remember from her time in a coma is her grandfather, who passed away over a year ago. And a beautiful garden. And the most delicious tomato she ever tasted. Now that she’s awake again her life has been cleaved in two. In the Before, Nora lived like a ghost, drowning under the weight of her parents’ expectations. In the After, she’s determined to accomplish the things she left undone before she died. Her reverse bucket list is simple: She wants to learn to cook and to be a better older sister to Lacey.

Title: Down the Track: feel-good and funny, 2024's unmissable romance from the bestselling author of THE VET FROM SNOWY RIVER Author: Stella Quinn Narrator: Fiona Macleod Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 23 minutes Release date: June 1, 2024 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Digging up the past isn't easy ... Sweet, funny and feel-good, the unmissable rural romance from the bestselling author of A Home Among the Snow Gums and The Vet From Snowy River. Dr Joanne Tan is an expert in a lot of things. Love isn't one of them. Being thirty-something, broke, divorced and in a cold war with her ten-year-old son is a lot, but Jo's handling it. Just. At least she is until her job at the Natural History Museum is put in jeopardy. An invitation to dig up dinosaur bones on a remote Queensland sheep station arrives at just the right time. It's not her first trip to Yindi Creek, but it's not as though anyone will remember her from fifteen years ago ... And by anyone, of course, she means the pilot she had that fling with. The fling that taught her she's far safer sticking to science ... Gavin 'Hux' Huxtable, helicopter pilot and reluctant sheep-shearer, has turned his broken heart into a secret (and successful) writing career. But running into Jo again, all these years down the track, stirs up a lot more than outback country dust. A missing person, a fossilised legbone and a nosy country cop force Jo and Hux together and the sparks that start flying don't go unnoticed by the locals ... Digging up the past isn't easy. Digging up the truth can be even harder. PRAISE FOR STELLA QUINN: 'Quinn's warm tone, gentle humour and all-pervasive kindness shines throughout A Home Among the Snow Gums; it's a lively gallop with endearing characters and a satisfying ending that leaves a spring in your step.' - Better Reading 'A Town Like Clarence captivated me completely with its easy charm, true-blue Aussie setting and delightful cast ... a book that filled my heart with immense happiness.' - Mrs B's Book Reviews]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/733713Sat, 01 Jun 2024 07:10:52 +0000Ewald RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/733713 to listen full audiobooks.

Portia Daniels' life is sorted. She has a perfect man (Jason, a hot TV producer from Ireland), a perfect apartment (in lower Manhattan), a perfect job (writing for TV). Best of all for her, unlike the rest of her family, she lives in perfect obscurity. On the other hand, it's all drama with her mother, Dessie, Kerry-born queen bee of hit reality show, Ladies of Los Angeles, and sisters, Vinnie, a supermodel-turned-Insta-guru and Ariel, a Tik-Tok teen sensation. When Jason drops a bombshell that leaves her life in tatters, Portia flees to be with her family. Her timing could not be worse though as scandal engulfs Vinnie's empire and Ariel bratty behaviour gets out of hand. As for Dessie, she is clearly hiding something. It seems like the glamour and gossip on which Dessie built her empire might just be its downfall. But maybe Portia has been fooling herself about living a 'real' life? She might be about to get as big a wake-up call as her mother and sisters.

Eilis Lacey is Irish, married to Tony Fiorello, a plumber and one of four Italian American brothers, all of whom live in neighboring houses on a cul-de-sac in Lindenhurst, Long Island, with their wives and children and Tony’s parents, a huge extended family. It is the spring of 1976 and Eilis is now forty with two teenage children. Though her ties to Ireland remain stronger than those that hold her to her new land and home, she has not returned in decades. One day, when Tony is at work an Irishman comes to the door asking for Eilis by name.

Eilis Lacey is Irish, married to Tony Fiorello, a plumber and one of four Italian American brothers, all of whom live in neighboring houses on a cul-de-sac in Lindenhurst, Long Island, with their wives and children and Tony’s parents, a huge extended family. It is the spring of 1976 and Eilis is now forty with two teenage children. Though her ties to Ireland remain stronger than those that hold her to her new land and home, she has not returned in decades. One day, when Tony is at work an Irishman comes to the door asking for Eilis by name. He tells her that his wife is pregnant with Tony’s child and that when the baby is born, he will not raise it but instead deposit it on Eilis’s doorstep. It is what Eilis does—and what she refuses to do—in response to this stunning news that makes Tóibín’s novel so riveting and suspenseful.

Title: Their Divine Fires: A Novel Author: Wendy Chen Narrator: Katharine Chin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 10 minutes Release date: May 7, 2024 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: A captivating and intimate debut novel interwoven with folktale and myth, Wendy Chen’s Their Divine Fires tells the story of the love affairs of three generations of Chinese women across one hundred years of revolutions both political and personal.   In 1917, at the dawn of the Chinese Revolution, Yunhong grows up in the southern China countryside and falls deeply in love with the son of a wealthy landlord despite her brother's objections. On the night of her wedding, her brother destroys the marriage before it has even lasted a day and irrevocably changes the shape of Yunhong's family to come; her daughter Yuexin will never know her father. Haunted by a history that she will never fully understand, Yuexin passes those memories onto her daughters Hongxing and Yonghong, who come of age in the years following Mao’s death, battling the push and pull of political forces as they forge their own paths. Each generation guards its secrets, leaving Emily, great granddaughter of Yunhong and living in contemporary America, to piece together what actually happened between her mother, her sister, and the weight of their shared ancestry.   Drawing on the lives of her great-grandmother and her great-uncles—both of whom fought on the side of the Communists—as well as her mother’s experiences during the Cultural Revolution, Wendy Chen infuses Their Divine Fires with a passion that will transport the reader back to powerful moments in history while bringing us close to the women who persisted despite the forces all around them. Both brilliant and haunting, it's a story about what our ancestors will, and won't, tell us.   “This is the family saga that I’ve been craving, a sensitive and deeply human reckoning with the aftermath of historical trauma and what happens when we try to speak the unspeakable. Chen’s writing is arresting, lyrical, and full of verve. Their Divine Fires will burn in my memory for years to come.” —Ruth Madievsky, author of All-Night Pharmacy “Wendy Chen has crafted a peerless first novel that I expect to be the sleeper hit of the season. Read this!” —Mary Karr, author of The Liar’s Club “Impressively epic yet intimate, unputdownable yet historically significant, Their Divine Fires moved me to my core. What an incredible page-turner! What a rare talent Wendy Chen is! This debut novel is a testament to the power of fiction in reconciling with the secrets of our past. The lyricism of Wendy’s prose and the emotional depth of her storytelling will stay with me for years to come.” —Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai, internationally bestselling author of The Mountains Sing and Dust Child   “Their Divine Fires is a fascinating and powerful debut. In gorgeous, elegant prose, Chen follows multiple generations of one family, intimately tracing how living through the Chinese Revolution and its aftermath shapes them in ways they don’t always fully understand.  As the years go by, we see the consequences play out in their lives, and ultimately how their deep connections to one another prevail.” —Dana Spiotta, author of Wayward “A gorgeous, emotionally searing debut about the lasting and mysterious effects of the past— both political and personal—particularly on girls and women confined and defined by others in a volatile world. Chen has woven together a moving, complex novel that takes us on multiple journeys of love, sacrifice, and grief. These characters are utterly unforgettable.” —Alexandra Chang, author of Days of Distraction]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/719030Tue, 07 May 2024 07:10:52 +0000Ewald RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/719030 to listen full audiobooks.

But first, she desperately needs a break, even if her overbearing mother doesn’t approve. For two glorious weeks, Gen’s giving herself permission to explore the beautiful beaches of Colón—and the stimulating attraction she shares with her sexy-as-hell driver, Adrián Nicolas. After a family tragedy, Adrián's recently shifted his own focus to prioritizing the life part of a healthy work-life balance. To workaholic Gen, Adrián’s laid-back devotion to his family’s hometown hostel couldn’t be more appealing.

But when their intimate connection flourishes beyond sunsets and spice, Gen finds herself questioning whether the career path she’s been on is even where she wants to be. With continents between them, a real relationship doesn’t feel possible. Until fate reveals their futures might be more closely woven than they thought, leaving them wondering whether a two-week fling might have what it takes to last forever.

Title: Fervor: A Novel Author: Toby Lloyd Narrator: Genevieve Gaunt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 28 minutes Release date: March 19, 2024 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: A “magnificent” (The New York Times), chilling, and unforgettable story of a close-knit British Jewish family pushed to the brink when they suspect their daughter is a witch. Hannah and Eric Rosenthal are devout Jews living in North London with their three children and Eric’s father Yosef, a Holocaust survivor. Both intellectually gifted and deeply unconventional, the Rosenthals believe in the literal truth of the Old Testament and in the presence of God (and evil) in daily life. As Hannah prepares to publish an account of Yosef's years in war-torn Europe—unearthing a terrible secret from his time in the camps—Elsie, her perfect daughter, starts to come undone. And then, in the wake of Yosef’s death, she disappears. When she returns, just as mysteriously as she left, she is altered in disturbing ways. Witnessing the complete transformation of her daughter, Hannah begins to suspect that Elsie has delved too deep into the labyrinths of Jewish mysticism and gotten lost among shadows. But for Elsie’s brother Tovyah, the truth is much simpler: his sister is the product of a dysfunctional family, obsessed with rituals, traditions, and unbridled ambition. But who is right?

Title: Fervor: A Novel Author: Toby Lloyd Narrator: Genevieve Gaunt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 28 minutes Release date: March 19, 2024 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: A “magnificent” (The New York Times), chilling, and unforgettable story of a close-knit British Jewish family pushed to the brink when they suspect their daughter is a witch. Hannah and Eric Rosenthal are devout Jews living in North London with their three children and Eric’s father Yosef, a Holocaust survivor. Both intellectually gifted and deeply unconventional, the Rosenthals believe in the literal truth of the Old Testament and in the presence of God (and evil) in daily life. As Hannah prepares to publish an account of Yosef's years in war-torn Europe—unearthing a terrible secret from his time in the camps—Elsie, her perfect daughter, starts to come undone. And then, in the wake of Yosef’s death, she disappears. When she returns, just as mysteriously as she left, she is altered in disturbing ways. Witnessing the complete transformation of her daughter, Hannah begins to suspect that Elsie has delved too deep into the labyrinths of Jewish mysticism and gotten lost among shadows. But for Elsie’s brother Tovyah, the truth is much simpler: his sister is the product of a dysfunctional family, obsessed with rituals, traditions, and unbridled ambition. But who is right? Is religion the cure for the disease or the disease itself? And how can they stop the darkness from engulfing Elsie completely? Bristling with the energy of a great campus novel and the unsettling, ever-shifting ground of a great horror tale, Fervor is a powerful family story—and “fans of Isaac Bashevis Singer and Stephen King alike will thrill to this superb modern folk tale” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).]]>185falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/my-name-was-eden-by-eleanor-barker-white--65302867https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/718960 to listen full audiobooks.

But one afternoon a few weeks before Thanksgiving, she discovers a box of letters from his ex-fiancé, which illustrate a smoldering love, one he never mentioned. Not long after that, she learns her children already knew about the ex-fiancé and kept it a secret. Tormented, she finds her world crumbling around her. Who can she trust? In downtown Oak Bluffs, Daniel owns a failing bookstore, struggles to sign the divorce papers for his wife, and cares for his ailing mother, who suffers from dementia.

She has written several acclaimed books, including the Sunday Times bestseller Older and Wider: A Survivor's Guide to the Menopause, and appeared on numerous TV and radio shows including Grumpy Old Women and Just a Minute. Collected here are some of her finest radio comedies and dramas, centred around women who are at a turning point in their lives. On Baby Street introduces us to three neighbours discovering the delights of parenthood. Series 1 sees them preparing for their new arrivals; in Series 2, the babies are born and the fun begins; and in Series 3, the children are toddlers, and their parents’ lives are changing. TwilightBaby.com takes a similar comic look at motherhood, as Cass, a 46-year-old with grown-up kids, finds to her shock that she is pregnant again.

She has written several acclaimed books, including the Sunday Times bestseller Older and Wider: A Survivor's Guide to the Menopause, and appeared on numerous TV and radio shows including Grumpy Old Women and Just a Minute. Collected here are some of her finest radio comedies and dramas, centred around women who are at a turning point in their lives. On Baby Street introduces us to three neighbours discovering the delights of parenthood. Series 1 sees them preparing for their new arrivals; in Series 2, the babies are born and the fun begins; and in Series 3, the children are toddlers, and their parents’ lives are changing. TwilightBaby.com takes a similar comic look at motherhood, as Cass, a 46-year-old with grown-up kids, finds to her shock that she is pregnant again.

They come for the sophisticated ambiance, and the illusion of being somewhere other than a bustling, exhausting city. Headwaiter Charles Ward helps create that illusion through impeccable service—unobtrusive, nearly invisible, yet always watchful.It’s a skill Charles honed as a young Jewish boy in war-torn Europe, when avoiding attention might mean the difference between life and death. But even then, one man saw him all too clearly—a Nazi officer who was both his savior and tormentor.At seventeen, Charles was deported to Auschwitz with his family. There he was singled out by Obersturmführer Berthold Werden, who hid him in his home. Their entanglement produced a tortured affection mixed with hatred that flares to life again, decades later, when Berthold walks into Café Marie.Drawn back into Berthold’s orbit, Charles is forced to revisit the pain and the brief, undeniable pleasures of the life he once knew. And if he acts on his growing hunger for revenge, will he lose his only tether to the past—the only other witness to who he was and everything he endured—or find peace at last?]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/729479Tue, 20 Feb 2024 07:10:52 +0000Ewald RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/729479 to listen full audiobooks.

She's always been happy with her lot in life, and never expected more. But one day, everything changes when she temporarily becomes lady's maid to the Bellingham's daughter, Arabella, who is pregnant with the illegitimate child of her lover, and about to be unhappily married off to a man double her age. When Arabella suddenly disappears and Lily is left holding the baby, the Bellingham's deny any link to the child. But Lily Moon is made of strong stuff, and between her and her sick mother, they know they must give a home to sweet baby Anastasia (Annie) and bring her up despite their own poor means. It is only Arabella's brother, the handsome son and heir of the estate, who shows any interest in the child, and through his kindness a friendship forms between him and Lily. Or, perhaps more than a friendship if the village gossips are to be believed . . . Lily knows she is no match for Louis: this humble pit wench could never steal the heart of the Lord of the manor.

She's always been happy with her lot in life, and never expected more. But one day, everything changes when she temporarily becomes lady's maid to the Bellingham's daughter, Arabella, who is pregnant with the illegitimate child of her lover, and about to be unhappily married off to a man double her age. When Arabella suddenly disappears and Lily is left holding the baby, the Bellingham's deny any link to the child. But Lily Moon is made of strong stuff, and between her and her sick mother, they know they must give a home to sweet baby Anastasia (Annie) and bring her up despite their own poor means. It is only Arabella's brother, the handsome son and heir of the estate, who shows any interest in the child, and through his kindness a friendship forms between him and Lily. Or, perhaps more than a friendship if the village gossips are to be believed . . . Lily knows she is no match for Louis: this humble pit wench could never steal the heart of the Lord of the manor.

In the rural town in Pakistan where Baadal grows up, children are named like talismans to sustain life and ward off unhappiness. At seventeen, Baadal has come to understand why his parents gave him that name, with hopes that their Big River will one day flow wide again, and their thirst will be quenched after years of drought. But in the final year of his schooling, abundance seems impossibly far away. As his parents' marriage—full of rage, despair, and often violence—reaches a breaking point, the only comfort Baadal can afford is a budding kinship with Meena, a divorced older woman he meets on the banks of the drying river. Meena has only just escaped her abusive husband, but her resistance to remarry soon gives way to the promise of stability and companionship that Baadal offers. Together, they leave the town in search of greater fortunes in the city. But even strong-willed, independent Meena finds herself bowed by the strain of Badaal's punishing work schedule, her struggling beauty parlor, and the tension with Baadal's mother, Raheela, as she seeks to leave behind a life of disappointments and discover a freedom she's never known.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/728447Tue, 06 Feb 2024 07:10:52 +0000Ewald RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/728447 to listen full audiobooks.

Her opinion is not favored by many in their community, including Joetta's own father-in-law, Rudean. A staunch Confederate supporter, he fills his grandsons' heads with stories about the glory of battle and the Southern cause until one night Henry runs off to join the war. At Joetta's frantic insistence, Ennis leaves to find their son and bring him home.

As the country becomes further entangled in the ramifications of war, Joetta finds herself increasingly at odds with those around her—until one act of kindness brings her family to the edge of even greater disaster.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/719867Tue, 23 Jan 2024 07:10:52 +0000Ewald RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/719867 to listen full audiobooks.

At seventeen, Charlie Coleman was on top of the world. He was captain of the football team, dating the smart and beautiful Shawna David, and on his way to becoming another pillar of his Nantucket community, just like his father before him.

She pretends to move on with a guy from University, but she can only truly escape thoughts of Axel when she's painting. At least one good thing has come out of all of it: her dream of exhibiting her work is finally coming true. Axel is achingly aware of how much he misses Leah every day. He thought seeing more of his best friend Oliver, Leah’s brother, would lift his spirits, but it hurts even more. When Oliver lets slip to Axel about Leah’s exhibit, Axel knows he has to go see her.

Against her better judgment, Leah accepts Axel as her agent, but being Axel's client blurs the lines of their relationship. While Axel’s fierce and relentless support for Leah leads her to begin to trust him again, rebuilding their friendship is almost as frustrating as holding back their desires.

Because Audrey died in a car crash when I was a toddler. At least, that’s what my mother told me. Afterwards, my father couldn’t cope with the grief, and he left us. She brought me up on her own and was always fiercely protective. She never let me out of her sight. Now, as Audrey and I sip wine on my deck by the lakeside and begin to piece together the puzzle of our family history, it turns out the past didn’t happen the way I was told. It turns out my mother lied. And, as the secrets she kept from me finally come to light, everything I thought I knew about motherhood and family crumbles to dust.  What if I’m not who I thought I was? And will I ever be able to forgive my mom for what she did?  An utterly captivating and heart-wrenching novel about the resilience of the human heart and the depth of a mother’s love. Fans of Mary Alice Monroe, Pamela Kelley and Barbara O’Neal will be gripped by this emotionally charged and gripping story of family secrecy, sisterhood and the healing power of forgiveness.

Samantha's father, Roland, is obsessed with image and money, so much so that Sam's career as a social worker who specializes in addiction recovery is a 'stain' on the Coleman reputation. Now, Samantha is forty-five years old and newly divorced. The further she gets from her relationship with her ex-husband, Daniel, the more she understands she married a manipulative and cruel individual, one not unlike her father. When her Great-Aunt Jessabelle passes away and leaves her home to Samantha, Sam and her daughters, Darcy and Rachelle, begin refurbishment on The Jessabelle House, a glorious house not far from the town of Siasconset on Nantucket. Once there, Samantha discovers her aunt's diaries, which reveal dramatic secrets from the past—and still more reasons not to trust the Colemans. As Samantha dives deeper into her family's history and Jessabelle's stories, she finds herself learning more about what it means to be a powerful woman who knows who she is and what she wants.

Title: [Spanish] - Las invitadas Author: Silvina Ocampo Narrator: Soledad García De Quirós Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 26 minutes Release date: December 26, 2023 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Los cuentos de Las invitadas -elogiados por Ítalo Calvino y Borges- son una ventana abierta a un mundo frágilmente cotidiano y, por eso, tan extraño como perturbador. Los cuentos de Las invitadas -publicado originariamente en 1961- son una ventana abierta a un mundo familiar y perturbador a la vez, donde la realidad más prosaica se desliza sutilmente hacia la irrealidad o hacia esa zona de lo real que pertenece a lo desconocido. Entremezclada con las frases donde relampaguea un humor rebelde, la ambigüedad está acentuada por la mirada inocente que la autora parece arrojar sobre los objetos y las personas que la rodean, como si los contemplara por primera vez. O como si los creara por el solo hecho de nombrarlos. En el cuento que da título al libro, el pequeño Lucio mantiene encuentros clandestinos con siete misteriosas invitadas que representan los siete pecados capitales. En 'El diario de Porfiria', una romántica institutriz inglesa es sometida a una perturbadora metamorfosis. Cuarenta niños sordomudos, tras un accidente aéreo, se arrojan al abismo, provistos de alas, y desaparecen en el cielo. Con estos relatos únicos en la literatura argentina del siglo XX, la imaginación rigurosa e incansable de Silvina Ocampo logra 'mostrarnos el cielo para precipitarnos en el infierno'. «La discreta y distante Silvina Ocampo ha escrito historias memorables.» Julio Cortázar]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/733911Tue, 26 Dec 2023 07:10:52 +0000Ewald RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/733911 to listen full audiobooks.

Following the death of her father, the elusive billionaire Pa Salt – so-called by the six daughters he adopted from around the globe – she finds herself at breaking point. Dropping out of art college, CeCe watches as Star, her beloved sister, distances herself to follow her new love, leaving her completely alone. In desperation, CeCe decides to flee England and discover her past; the only clues she has are a black-and-white photograph and the name of a woman pioneer who lived in Australia over one hundred years ago.

Title: [German] - Der kleine Lord Series: #1 of Mein erstes Hörbuch Author: Frances Hodgson Burnett Narrator: Stefan Heckmann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 46 minutes Release date: December 8, 2023 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Der kleine Lord von Frances Hodgson Burnett: gelesen von Stefan Heckmann. 1886 veröffentlichte Frances Hodgson Burnett mit Little Lord Fauntleroy (dt. Der kleine Lord) ihr erstes Kinderbuch, das sowohl vom Publikum als auch von den Kritikern begeistert aufgenommen wurde und lange Zeit auf Platz eins der Bestsellerliste rangierte. Der Roman wurde nach der Erstausgabe in vielen Sprachen sehr erfolgreich und ist mehrfach verfilmt worden. Das Buch war auch für die Autorin ein großer Erfolg. Die Idee, ein Kinderbuch zu schreiben, stammte von ihrem jüngsten Sohn Vivian, der sich wünschte, seine Mutter würde etwas für ihn und seinen Bruder Lionel schreiben. Beide nahmen am Schaffensprozess des Buches regen Anteil und diskutierten jeden Abend über ein neues Kapitel mit ihrer Mutter. Bei der Beschreibung des kleinen Lords hat Hodgson Burnett naheliegend ihren Sohn Vivian als Vorbild genommen und viel aus ihrem eigenen Leben mit ihren beiden Söhnen einfließen lassen, insbesondere die Gespräche mit Vivian, seine Verhaltensweisen und Bemerkungen. Cedric Errol ist ein kleiner Junge aus New York in den USA, dessen Umfeld die Aristokratie strikt ablehnt. Trotz der standeswidrigen Ehe seines verstorbenen Vaters wird Cedric von seinem kaltherzigen englischen Großvater, dem Earl of Dorincourt, als letzter verbliebener Nachfolger für den Grafentitel bei sich aufgenommen und aufgezogen. Seine Mutter, eine Amerikanerin, darf das Anwesen des Earls aufgrund seines Standesdünkels und seiner Voreingenommenheit gegen Amerika nicht betreten. Am Ende schafft es der kleine Lord, dass sein Großvater Liebe und Großzügigkeit zeigt und seine Mutter akzeptiert. Hierbei spielt mit eine Rolle, dass inzwischen eine Betrügerin versucht, ihren Sohn als den rechtmäßigen Erben des Titels durchzusetzen, und dem Earl klar wird, dass seine Schwiegertochter – entgegen seinen ursprünglichen Vorurteilen – eine liebenswerte Frau mit hohen Charaktereigenschaften ist. Die Schwindlerin Minna wird mit Hilfe von Cedrics alten Freunden aus Amerika entlarvt, und die Geschichte endet mit einem gemeinsamen Fest auf Schloss Dorincourt, mit dem Cedrics achter Geburtstag gefeiert wird.

Mit Derk an ihrer Seite schafft sie es dennoch, sich gegen alle Widerstände durchzusetzen. Als der Erste Weltkrieg ausbricht, müssen die Männer an die Front. Lina und ihre Tochter Alea bleiben allein zurück. Beide wissen, dass ihnen schwere Zeiten bevorstehen. Doch ob sie es gemeinsam schaffen können, die Molkerei zu erhalten, ist ungewiss.

Nach dem Tod des Vaters und Konflikten mit seiner Schwester Freya ist erst seit Kurzem ein wenig Frieden in die Familie eingekehrt. Und eine lang ersehnte Routine. Auch was den Fischerfleck betrifft, der mittlerweile so viel mehr ist als nur ein Gasthof am See: ein Hotspot, wo sich nicht nur die Schönen und Reichen aus München treffen, die hier Urlaub machen, sondern ebenso die Einheimischen. Niklas und Freya haben hart gearbeitet, um das zu erreichen. Nach wie vor brauchen sie ihre Energie für den Gasthof - und Niklas obendrein für die Berufsfischerei auf dem Walchensee, die er umweltgerecht ausbauen will. Es verlangt ihn schlichtweg nicht nach noch mehr Aufregung. Doch gerade haben sie Freyas 30. Geburtstag gefeiert, steht plötzlich Pia Kaufmann vor der Tür. Und teilt mit, dass sie aus geschäftlichen Gründen an den Walchensee zurückzieht, zusammen mit ihrem Verlobten. Die Frau, die Niklas vor vielen Jahren das Herz gebrochen hat, ist wieder da. Wird seine noch junge Beziehung zur Tierärztin Jessica das aushalten? Und was genau plant Pias Verlobter?]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/721472Wed, 06 Dec 2023 07:10:52 +0000Ewald RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/721472 to listen full audiobooks.

Um sie eine Schar älterer Brüder, deren Freiheiten nicht ihre sein werden. Und doch ist es ein Leben mit glänzenden Aussichten. Bis ein Bestsellerroman, verfasst vom Sohn eines verstorbenen Bekannten, den respektablen Lindhorsts klarmacht, dass sie für ihr Umfeld auch nach zwei Generationen noch immer 'die Jüdischen' sind. Unsereins ist der Roman einer Stadt und ihrer Gesellschaft, ihrer Bürger und Lohndiener, der Handwerker und, vor allem, ihrer Frauen. Ob Dienstmädchen, Hausfrau, Weißnäherin oder Schriftstellerin, ob manisch-depressiv wie Marthes Mutter, durchlässig wie Marthe selbst, die mit eigenen und fremden Erwartungen ringt.

Um sie eine Schar älterer Brüder, deren Freiheiten nicht ihre sein werden. Und doch ist es ein Leben mit glänzenden Aussichten. Bis ein Bestsellerroman, verfasst vom Sohn eines verstorbenen Bekannten, den respektablen Lindhorsts klarmacht, dass sie für ihr Umfeld auch nach zwei Generationen noch immer 'die Jüdischen' sind. Unsereins ist der Roman einer Stadt und ihrer Gesellschaft, ihrer Bürger und Lohndiener, der Handwerker und, vor allem, ihrer Frauen. Ob Dienstmädchen, Hausfrau, Weißnäherin oder Schriftstellerin, ob manisch-depressiv wie Marthes Mutter, durchlässig wie Marthe selbst, die mit eigenen und fremden Erwartungen ringt.

Title: [Spanish] - La naturaleza secreta de las cosas de este mundo Author: Patricio Pron Narrator: Patricio Pron Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 11 minutes Release date: November 15, 2023 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Una hija y un padre; dos vidas, una desaparición y un accidente. Una novela deslumbrante sobre la huida, la pérdida y la familia.  «Va a chocar, va a perder el control del automóvil y va a embestir las vallas que separan la carretera del bosque y de los secretos que éste oculta, pero Olivia aún no lo sabe; no tiene idea de lo que va a sucederle en un momento, cuando un recuerdo de una intensidad desusada la asalte, rompa sobre ella como una ola y la arrastre consigo.» ¿Quiénes somos realmente? ¿Qué nos convierte en las personas que creemos ser y qué sucede cuando lo que pensábamos que éramos deja paso a otra cosa? ¿Cuál es la naturaleza secreta de las cosas de este mundo? Olivia se dirige a Mánchester. Y lo que recordará es algo que olvidó que sabía sobre su padre, quien desapareció cuando ella tenía catorce años. Olivia es actriz. Edward Byrne era artista visual; cuando se marchó, dejó cientos de preguntas sin respuesta, pero ninguna evidencia, ninguna certeza, ningún cadáver... ¿Por qué sentimos a veces un deseo irreprimible de huir y dejar todo atrás? ¿Qué sucede cuando nuestra aspiración a ser verdaderamente libres se enfrenta a nuestra incontenible necesidad de consuelo? Patricio Pron, uno de los escritores fundamentales de la narrativa actual en lengua española, se estrena en Anagrama con una novela sobre la familia, la huida, la pérdida y sus paradójicas ventajas; sobre la impostura, la vocación, el miedo al futuro y la posibilidad de que el sentido profundo de las cosas de este mundo se encuentre en las historias que nos contamos. Una magnética y singular narración detectivesca sobre esos misterios que son parte de nuestra naturaleza más secreta. «Pareciera que Pron escribe en trance, entregado al surtidor de la imaginación y al remix de lo leído, montado en la maquinaria del relato la ola de la frase» (Graciela Speranza). «Su prosa es inventiva y poética» (Francisco Goldman). «No sé si puede decirse que anticipa el cauce por el que discurrirála literatura del futuro, pues la obra del escritor argentino es lo suficientemente excepcional para no admitir discípulos. Pero desde luego se perfila como un referente ineludible del panorama actual, y lo que es más importante, también como un generador de preguntas que tendrá que contestar la narrativa del futuro» (Juan Gómez Bárcena). «Está a la altura del mejor Sebald, del primer Handke, se tutea con Bernhard y ha superado a Jelinek. No hay mayor placer que saludar a un joven maestro y decirle '¡Salve! Ahora nos toca aprender de ti'» (Félix de Azúa). «Pron abre los ojos cuando los demás preferiríamos cerrarlos y mantenerlos cerrados» (Juan Gabriel Vásquez).]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/720919Wed, 15 Nov 2023 07:10:52 +0000Ewald RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/720919 to listen full audiobooks.

Una novela deslumbrante sobre la huida, la pérdida y la familia.  «Va a chocar, va a perder el control del automóvil y va a embestir las vallas que separan la carretera del bosque y de los secretos que éste oculta, pero Olivia aún no lo sabe; no tiene idea de lo que va a sucederle en un momento, cuando un recuerdo de una intensidad desusada la asalte, rompa sobre ella como una ola y la arrastre consigo.» ¿Quiénes somos realmente? ¿Qué nos convierte en las personas que creemos ser y qué sucede cuando lo que pensábamos que éramos deja paso a otra cosa? ¿Cuál es la naturaleza secreta de las cosas de este mundo? Olivia se dirige a Mánchester. Y lo que recordará es algo que olvidó que sabía sobre su padre, quien desapareció cuando ella tenía catorce años. Olivia es actriz.

Title: Christmas with the Lords: The perfect uplifting Christmas romance Author: Hannah Langdon Narrator: Tamsin Kennard Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 31 minutes Release date: November 9, 2023 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Urgently wanted: A nanny for Christmas. Seeking an adventurous nanny to work for the aristocratic Lord family at their country estate. Must love naughty dogs, mischievous children and have a high tolerance for Christmas chaos. Room and board provided. Penny Windlesham is stunned when her long-term boyfriend suddenly dumps her, leaving her with a broken heart just in time for Christmas. At a loose end, she accepts a job as a short-term nanny to a family she’s never met. Climbing aboard a train bound for the Dorset countryside, a tear rolls down her cheek. Alone, working and amongst strangers… could her Christmas be any less magical? As she crunches up the family’s frost-covered drive, Penny’s spirits lift when she glimpses her home for the next month: an enormous manor house, its windows glowing with firelight and festooned with twinkling holly. And, as she settles into her role caring for the adorable Lord children, she finds herself surrounded by a quirky cast of characters, including loveably frazzled Spanish chef Pilar and the children’s grouchy uncle, Lando Lord. Despite Penny’s attempts to avoid him, the darkly handsome Lando seems to be everywhere – hanging around like Scrooge amidst the happy present-wrapping and gingerbread baking. Apparently he wasn’t always this way… is there some secret reason he’s so cranky at Christmas? When Lando is commissioned to carve a beautiful new Nativity scene for the local church, Penny blushingly agrees to be his model, and a sudden spark flickers between them. But it’s not long before the past comes knocking, and Penny discovers exactly why Lando left his old life behind… With Christmas Day fast approaching, Penny faces a life-changing choice. Should she return to the city and let Christmas with the Lords be a cherished memory, or could this crazy holiday adventure be the first step into a life she never dreamed was possible? A heartwarming and feel-good holiday story full of Christmas magic! Fans of Beth Moran, Donna Ashcroft and Trisha Ashley will love Christmas with the Lords.

Title: [Spanish] - Risa en la oscuridad Author: Vladimir Nabokov Narrator: Luis García Márquez Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 59 minutes Release date: November 2, 2023 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Albinus, un respetable crítico de arte, conoce a Margot, mucho más joven que él. Albinus queda prendado y abandona a su esposa y a su hija para fugarse con ella. Pero entonces irrumpe Axel Rex, un joven y cínico artista, examante de Margot. Se completa así el último vértice de un triángulo amoroso de fatales consecuencias. Tras sufrir un accidente que lo deja ciego, Albinus se retira a una casa aislada con Margot. Pero lo que no sabe es que allí se instala también Axel, que hace el amor con Margot y se pasea retadoramente desnudo ante Albinus, que oye pasos e intuye que algo extraño está sucediendo. Fechada en 1932, esta novela aborda un tema clásico: un triángulo amoroso en el que se entremezclan la pasión y la degradación. «Una pequeña obra maestra rebosante de crueldad, uno de esos libros a los que no se puede quitar ni añadir nada sin causarles un daño irreparable» (Times Literary Supplement). «Una fábula moral sobre la dignidad y la perversión, entre paródica y farsesca.

Title: Baby Daddy Author: Kendall Ryan Narrator: Virginia Rose, Sebastian York Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 37 minutes Release date: October 24, 2023 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: 'A hot and hilarious new standalone from New York Times best seller Kendall Ryan. We met in a trapped elevator. Emmett was on his way to work, sophisticated and handsome in his tailored suit and tie. I was on my way to the sperm bank. Awkward, right? At 35, my life hadn't taken the path I thought it would and I was tired of waiting - I wanted a baby. And I was ready to take matters into my own hands to make it happen. After our ill-fated elevator encounter, Emmett insisted on taking me to dinner - he also insisted on something else - that I ditch my plan involving a turkey baster and let him do the job. He would be my baby daddy. He was a wealthy and powerful CEO with little interest in diapers or playdates. And since he didn't want kids, I'd be on my own once his bun was in my oven, free to go my own way. But once his baby was inside me, it was like a switch had been flipped, and I got a whole lot more than I ever bargained for. This full-length standalone contains a hot, swoon-worthy hero, lots of playful banter and some hot baby-making! Enjoy.

Title: [Spanish] - Ceniza en la boca Author: Brenda Navarro Narrator: Brenda Navarro Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 3 minutes Release date: September 13, 2023 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Diego salta desde un quinto piso y desde entonces esa imagen no deja de taladrarle la cabeza a su hermana: seis segundos y un cuerpo estrellándose contra el suelo. Es ella quien echa la vista atrás y cuenta la historia de los dos hermanos. Su llegada al mundo en un hogar en el que la vida nunca fue justa. Los años que pasaron en México con sus abuelos, mientras su madre se buscaba la vida en España, y era ella, aún niña, quien se hacía cargo de Diego. La etapa en Madrid, una ciudad que no entendían y que tampoco los entendía a ellos. La primera separación, cuando ella se marchó a Barcelona a abrirse camino y su hermano se quedó en el lugar que más odiaba.

Will the unexpected windfall tear them apart? When their father dies unexpectedly, siblings Max, Ellie and Nathan can’t even contemplate emptying his house—not least because he spent his last decade curating what feels like a museum to his polished public image. So it is Max’s wife, Caroline, who finds the suitcase under a bed… A suitcase stuffed full of an awful lot of cash. The source of the money is a mystery to them all, and each has a strong opinion about what to do with it. Ellie and her husband James have an expensive lifestyle to maintain and could do with their share of the windfall—James in particular, for reasons he doesn’t dare reveal. Nathan can’t be trusted with money, as the others all know; he’s desperate to get his hands on some (or all) of the cash. But Caroline is the one guarding the suitcase, and she’s insisting to Max that they take it to the police. The three siblings have always been close.

When sixty-five-year-old Bindu Desai inherits a million dollars, she’s astounded—and horrified. The windfall threatens to expose a shameful mistake from her youth.

The only way to save it is to deliver a new idea to her investors—and of course they want the half-baked dating app she pitched them in a panic. Problem is, Cullie has never been on a real date.

Title: The Tamarind Tree Author: Sundara Ramaswamy Narrator: Amol Shah Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 31 minutes Release date: November 15, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Sundara Ramaswamy’s modern classic, translated from Tamil, is a simply stunning reflection about shared histories, loss, an affinity for nature, and a near-mythic center of life in a village in India. While it lived, the tamarind tree stood at the crossroads of a small village in Southern India. For more than fifty years it was a benevolent observer, offering shade without discrimination. It bore witness to laughter and tears, to tragedy and simple pleasures, and to the history of the village itself as it transformed from the old ways of bullock-led carts to a bustling community of social, political, economic, and ecological change. And for Damodara Asan, an enigmatic philosopher, memory keeper, and master storyteller, the tamarind tree—and everything it inspired—was an endless source of tales that enthralled generations. Unfolding through the bittersweet remembrances of an unnamed narrator who was once beguiled by Asan, The Tamarind Tree is a beautiful and universal story about transition, the compromises of progress, and a long-gone though undying symbol of indestructible dignity, culture, and life.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/720647Tue, 15 Nov 2022 07:10:52 +0000Ewald RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/720647 to listen full audiobooks.

Until she makes a discovery while cleaning her Jordan MX car, a scarlet-red symbol of the Jazz Age’s independent women that she inherited from her great-great-great-aunt Violet.

Will they survive the dark streets of London to see the Allies win the war? London, 1941. The Blitz. When a Royal Navy memo arrives at head office, requesting female recruits to sign up as motorcycle dispatch riders, delivering highly classified orders across the country, three women jump at the chance to sign up for the most dangerous jobs in London.

Because sometimes the price of the perfect life…is death. In cosmopolitan Johannesburg, three high-flying couples form the core of the elite Khula Society: part investment group, part social club, with meetings where the champagne flows, the dresses are designer and the one-upmanship is off the scale. Noma, Moshidi, Lerato and their husbands are living the dream—or so it appears from the outside.

Behind the facade of their ocean-front mansions, Italian supercars and lavishly catered receptions lies a tangle of explosive secrets—and deadly consequences. But as long as every member toes the line, plays the role they’re here to play, the dark truth remains crushed beneath the heels of so many Louboutins… That is until, in her bid to have it all and more, one of these rich and powerful women oversteps the mark—with someone else’s man.
