Title: Mademoiselle Eiffel: A Novel Author: Aimie K. Runyan Narrator: Caroline Hewitt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 16 minutes Release date: September 10, 2024 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: From the author of The School for German Brides and A Bakery in Paris, this captivating historical novel set in nineteenth-century Paris tells the story of Claire Eiffel, a woman who played a significant role in maintaining her family’s legacy and their iconic contributions to the city of Paris. Claire Eiffel, the beautiful, brilliant eldest daughter of the illustrious architect Gustave Eiffel, is doted upon with an education envied by many sons of the upper classes, and entirely out of the reach of most daughters. Claire’s idyllic childhood ends abruptly when, at fourteen, her mother passes away. It’s soon made clear that Gustave expects Claire to fill her mother’s place as caregiver to the younger children and as manager of their home. As she proves her competence, Claire’s importance to her father grows. She accompanies him on his travels and becomes his confidante and private secretary. She learns her father’s architectural trade and becomes indispensable to his work. But when his bright young protégé, Adolphe Salles, takes up more of Gustave’s time, Claire resents being pushed aside. Slowly, the animosity between Claire and Adolphe turns to friendship…and then to something more. After their marriage in 1885 preserves the Eiffel legacy, they are privileged by the biggest commission of Eiffel’s career: a great iron tower dominating the 1889 World’s Fair to demonstrate the leading role of Paris in the world of art and architecture. Now hostess to the scientific elite, such as Thomas Edison, Claire is under the watchful eye not only of her family and father’s circle, but also the world. When Gustave Eiffel’s involvement in a disastrous endeavor to build a canal in Panama ends in his imprisonment, it is up to Claire to secure her father’s freedom but also preserve the hard-won family legacy. Claire Eiffel’s story of love, devotion, and the frantic pursuit to preserve her family’s legacy is not only an inspired reflection of real personages and historical events, but a hymn to the iconic tower that dominates the City of Lights.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/712229Tue, 10 Sep 2024 07:10:53 +0000Nannie GrahamPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/712229 to listen full audiobooks.

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

Courtney Sullivan’s best book yet. Sullivan weaves a narrative that’s fascinating and thought-provoking. I literally could not put this book down.” —Ann Napolitano, New York Times best-selling author of Hello Beautiful On a secluded bluff overlooking the ocean sits a Victorian house, lavender with gingerbread trim, a home that contains a century’s worth of secrets. By the time Jane Flanagan discovers the house as a teenager, it has long been abandoned. The place is an irresistible mystery to Jane. There are still clothes in the closets, marbles rolling across the floors, and dishes in the cupboards, even though no one has set foot there in decades. The house becomes a hideaway for Jane, a place to escape her volatile mother. Twenty years later, now a Harvard archivist, she returns home to Maine following a terrible mistake that threatens both her career and her marriage. Jane is horrified to find the Victorian is now barely recognizable. The new owner, Genevieve, a summer person from Beacon Hill, has gutted it, transforming the house into a glossy white monstrosity straight out of a shelter magazine. Strangely, Genevieve is convinced that the house is haunted—perhaps the product of something troubling Genevieve herself has done. She hires Jane to research the history of the place and the women who lived there. The story Jane uncovers—of lovers lost at sea, romantic longing, shattering loss, artistic awakening, historical artifacts stolen and sold, and the long shadow of colonialism—is even older than Maine itself. Enthralling, richly imagined, filled with psychic mediums and charlatans, spirits and past lives, mothers, marriage, and the legacy of alcoholism, this is a deeply moving novel about the land we inhabit, the women who came before us, and the ways in which none of us will ever truly leave this earth.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/715877Tue, 02 Jul 2024 07:10:53 +0000Nannie GrahamPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/715877 to listen full audiobooks.

His mother takes him and his brother from Colombia to America, leaving their absent father behind but essentially disappearing herself once they get to Miami. In America, his mother works as a waitress when she was once a doctor. The boy embraces his queer identity as wholeheartedly as he embraces his new home, but not without a sense of loss.

Title: After Annie Author: Anna Quindlen Narrator: Gilli Messer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 50 minutes Release date: June 20, 2024 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: ‘Candid and complex ­– and ultimately quite hopeful’ Claire Lombardo ‘Beautiful and deeply moving’ J. Courtney Sullivan ‘A story of abiding hope’ Mary Beth Keane   When Annie Brown dies suddenly, her husband, her four young children and her closest friend are left to struggle without the woman who centred their lives. Bill Brown finds himself overwhelmed, and Annie’s best friend Annemarie is lost to old bad habits without Annie’s support. It is Annie’s daughter, Ali, forced to try to care for her younger brothers and even her father, who manages to maintain some semblance of their former lives for them all, and who confronts the complicated truths of adulthood.   Yet over the course of the next year, while Annie looms large in their memories, all three are able to grow, to change, even to become stronger and more sure of themselves. The enduring power Annie gave to those who loved her is the power to love, and to go on without her.   Written in Quindlen’s emotionally resonant voice, and with her deep and generous understanding of people, After Annie is a story that ends with hope, a beautiful novel about how adversity can change us in profound ways.   Praise for Anna Quindlen ‘Leaves the reader feeling grateful, wide awake, lucky to be alive’ Michael Chabon ‘Simply impossible to forget’ Alice Hoffman ‘Qualities and shades of love are this writer's strong suit, and she has the unusual talent for writing about them with so much truth and heart’ Elizabeth Jane Howard ‘Breathtaking...

Title: After Annie Author: Anna Quindlen Narrator: Gilli Messer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 50 minutes Release date: June 20, 2024 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: ‘Candid and complex ­– and ultimately quite hopeful’ Claire Lombardo ‘Beautiful and deeply moving’ J. Courtney Sullivan ‘A story of abiding hope’ Mary Beth Keane   When Annie Brown dies suddenly, her husband, her four young children and her closest friend are left to struggle without the woman who centred their lives. Bill Brown finds himself overwhelmed, and Annie’s best friend Annemarie is lost to old bad habits without Annie’s support. It is Annie’s daughter, Ali, forced to try to care for her younger brothers and even her father, who manages to maintain some semblance of their former lives for them all, and who confronts the complicated truths of adulthood.   Yet over the course of the next year, while Annie looms large in their memories, all three are able to grow, to change, even to become stronger and more sure of themselves. The enduring power Annie gave to those who loved her is the power to love, and to go on without her.   Written in Quindlen’s emotionally resonant voice, and with her deep and generous understanding of people, After Annie is a story that ends with hope, a beautiful novel about how adversity can change us in profound ways.   Praise for Anna Quindlen ‘Leaves the reader feeling grateful, wide awake, lucky to be alive’ Michael Chabon ‘Simply impossible to forget’ Alice Hoffman ‘Qualities and shades of love are this writer's strong suit, and she has the unusual talent for writing about them with so much truth and heart’ Elizabeth Jane Howard ‘Breathtaking...

Title: Devil Is Fine: A Novel Author: John Vercher Narrator: Dion Graham Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 36 minutes Release date: June 18, 2024 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: This program is read by award-winning narrator Dion Graham. 'Devil Is Fine is self-deprecatingly tender, often bracingly hilarious, and at its heart is a runaway train through the haunted house of us. And I loved it. Don't miss it.' —Dion Graham 'Graham’s rich, inviting, sigh-inducing voice magically weaves another irresistible aural web...Graham is wondrous throughout, seamlessly assuming and discarding characterizations with accuracy and aplomb, from dubious allies to empathic strangers and pretentious experts. His impressive range effortlessly melds dark humor, chaotic surrealism, and historic horror into another rewardingly mesmerizing performance.' —Booklist (Starred Review) From acclaimed novelist John Vercher, a profoundly moving novel of what it means to be a father, a son, a writer, and a biracial American fighting to reconcile the past Reeling from the sudden death of his teenage son, our narrator receives a letter from an attorney: he has just inherited a plot of land from his estranged grandfather. He travels to a beach town several hours south of his home with the intention of immediately selling the land. But upon inspection, what lies beneath the dirt is much more than he can process in the throes of grief. As a biracial Black man struggling with the many facets of his identity, he’s now the owner of a former plantation passed down by the men on his white mother’s side of the family. Vercher deftly blurs the lines between real and imagined, past and present, tragedy and humor, and fathers and sons in this story of discovery—and a fight for reclamation—of a painful past. With the wit of Paul Beatty’s The Sellout and the nuance of Zadie Smith’s On Beauty, Devil Is Fine is a darkly funny and brilliantly crafted dissection of the legacies we leave behind and those we inherit.

She sells us on both the characters and the plot . . . [in] this enormously entertaining and lovable book.” —Nick Hornby, New York Times Book Review  A bold, laugh-out-loud funny, and heartwarming story about one young woman’s attempt to navigate adulthood, new motherhood, and her meager bank account in our increasingly online world—from the PEN/Faulkner finalist and critically acclaimed author of The Knockout Queen. As the child of a Hooters waitress and an ex-pro wrestler, Margo Millet's always known she’d have to make it on her own. So she enrolls at her local junior college, even though she can’t imagine how she’ll ever make a living. She’s still figuring things out and never planned to have an affair with her English professor—and while the affair is brief, it isn’t brief enough to keep her from getting pregnant. Despite everyone’s advice, she decides to keep the baby, mostly out of naiveté and a yearning for something bigger. Now, at twenty, Margo is alone with an infant, unemployed, and on the verge of eviction. She needs a cash infusion—fast. When her estranged father, Jinx, shows up on her doorstep and asks to move in with her, she agrees in exchange for help with childcare. Then Margo begins to form a plan: she’ll start an OnlyFans as an experiment, and soon finds herself adapting some of Jinx’s advice from the world of wrestling.

She sells us on both the characters and the plot . . . [in] this enormously entertaining and lovable book.” —Nick Hornby, New York Times Book Review  A bold, laugh-out-loud funny, and heartwarming story about one young woman’s attempt to navigate adulthood, new motherhood, and her meager bank account in our increasingly online world—from the PEN/Faulkner finalist and critically acclaimed author of The Knockout Queen. As the child of a Hooters waitress and an ex-pro wrestler, Margo Millet's always known she’d have to make it on her own. So she enrolls at her local junior college, even though she can’t imagine how she’ll ever make a living. She’s still figuring things out and never planned to have an affair with her English professor—and while the affair is brief, it isn’t brief enough to keep her from getting pregnant. Despite everyone’s advice, she decides to keep the baby, mostly out of naiveté and a yearning for something bigger. Now, at twenty, Margo is alone with an infant, unemployed, and on the verge of eviction. She needs a cash infusion—fast. When her estranged father, Jinx, shows up on her doorstep and asks to move in with her, she agrees in exchange for help with childcare. Then Margo begins to form a plan: she’ll start an OnlyFans as an experiment, and soon finds herself adapting some of Jinx’s advice from the world of wrestling.

A couple awakens in a home in the woods to find themselves rapidly aging as their toddler remains unchanged.

Porter Narrator: Sean Patrick Hopkins Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 12 minutes Release date: June 11, 2024 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: A heartwarming novel about a loving dad who drags his eleven-year-old daughter to “father-daughter week” at a remote summer camp—their last chance to bond before he loses her to teenage girlhood entirely. After his daughter, Avery, was born, John gave it all up—hobbies, friends, a dream job—to be something more: a super dad. Since then, he’s spent nearly every waking second with Avery, who’s his absolute best bud. Or, at least, she was. When now eleven-year-old Avery begins transforming into an eye-rolling zombie of a preteen who dreads spending time with him, a desperate John whisks her away for a weeklong father-daughter retreat to get their relationship back on track before she starts middle school. But John’s attempts to bond only seem to drive his daughter further away, and his instincts tell him Avery’s hiding something more than just preteen angst. Even worse, the camp is far from the idyllic getaway he had in mind. John finds himself navigating a group of toxic dads that can’t seem to get along, cringe-worthy forced bonding activities, and a camp director that has it out for him. With camp and summer break slipping away fast, John’s determined to conquer it all for a chance to become Avery’s hero again.

Bingham Prize finalist, whose short stories received instant acclaim (“Sparingly told, evoked with lacerating intimacy . . . Extraordinary”—Esquire), a debut novel about a young woman’s coming of age, and the singular friendship that challenges her values, her beliefs, and the course of her life At sixteen, Eva meets Jamie by chance. She lives in middle-class south Brooklyn; he comes from the super rich of upper Manhattan. She’s observant, cautious, often insecure; he’s curious, bold, full of mysteries. These two questers are drawn together in a strange and profound friendship, tested by forces larger than themselves.

When her beloved grandmother passes away, Lulu finds herself drawn to the glamorous stranger who crashed the funeral and who lives alone and shunned on the edge of town. Their unexpected kinship picks at the secrets of Lulu’s family’s past. As the quinceañera looms—and we move between these two strong, irascible female voices—one woman must make peace with the past, and one girl pushes to embrace her future. Rich with cinematic details—from dusty rodeos to the excitement of a Selena concert and the comfort of conjunto ballads played at family gatherings—this memorable debut is a love letter to the Tejano culture and community that sustain both of these women as they discover what family means.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/715844Tue, 04 Jun 2024 07:10:53 +0000Nannie GrahamPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/715844 to listen full audiobooks.

Like most twenty-somethings, she struggles to figure out life and soon finds herself following the advice of her late great-aunt through a series of revelatory emails about pursuing long-buried dreams rather than society’s idea of perfect in this fun, highly relatable debut. Perfect for fans of Beth O’Leary, Lizzie Damilola Blackburn, and Sophie Kinsella. “Compelling characters, a page-turning plot, and laugh-out-loud humor…A remarkable debut!” —Stacey Swann, author of GMA Book Club Pick Olympus, Texas What’s a twenty-something gal to do when her parents announce a divorce after thirty years of marriage, she finds out her best friend has cozied up to her archnemesis, and she accidentally sleeps with the Wrong Guy? Turn to her great-aunt for advice, of course. Rosie Benson has always struggled to fit in with her over-accomplished family, type-A roommate/best friend, and workaholic boss. But she’s nearly losing herself as she strives to become everyone else’s idea of perfect. When Rosie is abruptly fired from her job at a tech start-up where her boss was way too enthusiastic about synergy and company swag, the illusion that she has life figured out is shattered. Knowing she needs a push, her great-aunt Dotty—a globe-trotting, martini-swilling occasional nudist, and the only person Rosie has ever truly felt herself around—challenges her to pursue a long-buried dream, others’ expectations be damned. But then Dotty dies. And Rosie spirals. As new details of Dotty’s past emerge through revelatory emails from her many friends, Rosie realizes that maybe her aunt’s life wasn’t as charmed as she thought. With her career, friendships, and family unraveling, Rosie must drown out the noise of the world telling her what she should pursue—boyfriend, babies, boss-babe role at a corporate job—and finally focus on what she actually wants.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/709895Tue, 04 Jun 2024 07:10:53 +0000Nannie GrahamPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/709895 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Wild Ground: A Novel Author: Emily Usher Narrator: Natalie Gavin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 53 minutes Release date: June 4, 2024 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: A story of first love that will break your heart, this bittersweet debut novel follows two teenagers whose all-consuming relationship is tested by the forces of class, prejudice, and addiction. “Reading this book is like holding a heartbeat in your hands.”—Amy Jo Burns, author of Mercury There were parts that were bliss, there were parts that were full and faultless and laden with joy. The way everything Danny and I did, everything we felt, we did, we felt together. The way we loved and loved and loved each other. From the beginning, it has always been Neef and her mother, Chrissy—troubled, beautiful, at the mercy of addiction and a revolving door of bad relationships. When Neef turns twelve, they move from inner-city Leeds to a small Yorkshire town to follow Chrissy’s much-older boyfriend, who runs the local pub. But for Neef, perhaps it’s also a chance to start over. On her first day in her new home, it becomes Neef and Danny, the boy who captures her attention planting flowers in the pub garden—and then, it is somehow always Danny. Danny is seen as an outsider by those around him; half Jamaican, he and his father are the only people of color in their community. Immediately drawn to each other, Neef and Danny form a friendship that gives way to the slow burn of romance as they grow up. Desperate to escape the confines of their world, Neef and Danny cling to each other throughout their adolescence, even as their relationship strains against the same forces that hold their families hostage: substance abuse, poverty, racism. For a while, though, it seems like it could be Neef and Danny forever. But then, finally, it is just Neef: sober, living in London, trying to tell herself she never knew a boy called Danny, never loved him, never had him wrenched away. That is, until someone from those days comes seeking redemption, and she cannot pretend any longer. Braiding together past and present, Wild Ground introduces us to a young woman both coming of age and coming to terms with herself. This tender and moving debut, at once heartbreaking and hopeful, is an aching love story that you will find impossible to forget.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/715850Tue, 04 Jun 2024 07:10:53 +0000Nannie GrahamPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/715850 to listen full audiobooks.

Willing to do anything for Rosie’s happiness, Jordan signs on, and they offer—well above asking price—on a beautiful, historic fixer-upper in the Hudson Valley.   But when Jordan suddenly loses his job, the couple is forced to rent out the property’s dilapidated outbuilding. There’s no heat, it’s overrun with mold, and nothing works.  Enter Dylan and Lark: an incredibly attractive and handy queer couple who offer to rent the outbuilding and help Rosie and Jordan with repairs.

Inspired by Instagram ads, she starts thirsting for a rural life upstate—one full of beauty and authenticity. She just needs to convince her tech-bro husband, Jordan, of her vision for the future. Willing to do anything for Rosie’s happiness, Jordan signs on, and they offer—well above asking price—on a beautiful, historic fixer-upper in the Hudson Valley.   But when Jordan suddenly loses his job, the couple is forced to rent out the property’s dilapidated outbuilding. There’s no heat, it’s overrun with mold, and nothing works.  Enter Dylan and Lark: an incredibly attractive and handy queer couple who offer to rent the outbuilding and help Rosie and Jordan with repairs. They also happen to be living the life Rosie had envisioned for herself: hand-built furniture, herbal tinctures, guinea hens, and hand-dyed linens. Rosie grows increasingly infatuated with their new tenants, especially with model-esque, charismatic Dylan—to Jordan’s increasing distress.   Whip-smart and wickedly funny, Trust and Safety examines questions of authenticity, betrayal, belonging, and entitlement, while poking fun at contemporary fear of the “gay agenda.”]]>605cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-guncle-abroad-by-steven-rowley--65303059https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/707100 to listen full audiobooks.

When sixteen-year-old Shae meets Cam, who is new to their small town in West Virginia, she thinks she has found someone who is everything she has ever wanted in a companion. The two become fast friends, and then more. And when Shae ends up pregnant, Cam begins a different transition—trying on clothes that Shae can no longer fit into and using female pronouns. Shae tries to be fully supportive as Cam becomes the person she wants and needs to be. After a traumatic C-section and the birth of their daughter, Eva, Shae is given opioids to manage the intense pain. During the first year of Eva’s life, Shae’s dependence shifts from pain management to addiction, and her days begin to revolve around getting more pills.

Jessica Shattuck captures and connects it all—the imperial ambitions of the postwar generation, the rebellion of their offspring in the Sixties, and the fallout we’re still sifting through today. . . . This is a wide-ranging novel to savor.” — TOM PERROTTA From the New York Times bestselling author of The Women in the Castle comes a sweeping story of a nation on the rise, and one family’s deeply complicated relationship to the resource that built their fortune and fueled their greatest tragedy, perfect for fans of The Dutch House and Great Circle. It’s 1953, and for Nick Taylor, WWII veteran turned company lawyer, oil is the key to the future. He takes the train into the city for work and returns to the peaceful streets of the suburbs and to his wife, Bet, former codebreaker now housewife, and their two children, Katherine and Harry. Nick comes from humble origins but thanks to his work for American Oil, he can provide every comfort for his family, including Last House, a secluded country escape. Deep in the Vermont mountains, the Taylors are free from the stresses of modern life. Bet doesn’t have to worry about the Russian H-bombs that haunt her dreams, and the children roam free in the woods. Last House is a place that could survive the end of the world. It’s 1968, and America is on the brink of change. Protestors fill the streets to challenge everything from the Vietnam War to racism in the wake of MLK’s shooting—to the country's reliance on Big Oil. As Katherine makes her first forays into adult life, she’s caught up in the current of the time and struggles to reconcile her ideals with the stable and privileged childhood her Greatest Generation parents worked so hard to provide. But when the Movement shifts in a more radical direction, each member of the Taylor family will be forced to reckon with the consequences of the choices they’ve made for the causes they believed in. Spanning multiple generations and nearly eighty years, Last House tells the story of one American family during an age of grand ideals and even greater downfalls. Set against the backdrop of our nation’s history, this is an emotional tour de force that digs deeply into questions of inheritance and what we owe each other—and captures to stunning effect the gravity of time, the double edge of progress, and the hubris of empire.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/704629Tue, 14 May 2024 07:10:53 +0000Nannie GrahamPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/704629 to listen full audiobooks.

But decades of secrets have led them to separate lives—and to telling lies, to themselves and to one another. Sylvie is getting married. Again. A librarian and widow who soothes her grief by escaping into books (and shelving them perfectly), Sylvie has caught the attention of an unlikely match: Simon Rampling, a mysterious, wealthy man from Northern England. Sylvie allows herself to imagine a life beside him—one filled with the written word, kindness, and companionship. She’s ready to love again . . . or is she? Cleo is the golden child. A successful criminal defense lawyer with the perfect boyfriend, she is immediately suspicious of Simon. Is he really who he says he is? Cleo heads to Mumberton Castle with a case of investigative files, telling herself she will expose Simon and save her sister from more heartbreak . . . but who is she really trying to save? Emma is living a lie. She can’t afford this fancy trip—and she definitely can’t tell her husband and sons why. She once dreamed of a line of her own perfumes. Fragrances allowed her to speak in silence. Now, that tendency for silence only worsens her situation. Will she emerge with her dignity and family intact? When their toxic mother shows up, the sisters assume the roles they fell into to survive their childhood . . . but they just might find the courage to make new choices. Set over a spectacularly dramatic weekend, in the grand halls of a sprawling castle estate—amid floor-to-ceiling libraries, falconry lessons, and medieval meals—Lovers and Liars is the unforgettable story of a family’s ability to forgive and to find joy in one another once again.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/704934Tue, 14 May 2024 07:10:53 +0000Nannie GrahamPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/704934 to listen full audiobooks.

A librarian and widow who soothes her grief by escaping into books (and shelving them perfectly), Sylvie has caught the attention of an unlikely match: Simon Rampling, a mysterious, wealthy man from Northern England. Sylvie allows herself to imagine a life beside him—one filled with the written word, kindness, and companionship. She’s ready to love again . . . or is she? Cleo is the golden child. A successful criminal defense lawyer with the perfect boyfriend, she is immediately suspicious of Simon. Is he really who he says he is? Cleo heads to Mumberton Castle with a case of investigative files, telling herself she will expose Simon and save her sister from more heartbreak . . . but who is she really trying to save? Emma is living a lie. She can’t afford this fancy trip—and she definitely can’t tell her husband and sons why. She once dreamed of a line of her own perfumes. Fragrances allowed her to speak in silence. Now, that tendency for silence only worsens her situation. Will she emerge with her dignity and family intact? When their toxic mother shows up, the sisters assume the roles they fell into to survive their childhood . . . but they just might find the courage to make new choices. Set over a spectacularly dramatic weekend, in the grand halls of a sprawling castle estate—amid floor-to-ceiling libraries, falconry lessons, and medieval meals—Lovers and Liars is the unforgettable story of a family’s ability to forgive and to find joy in one another once again.]]>605cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/we-were-the-universe-a-novel-by-kimberly-king-parsons--65303066https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/707081 to listen full audiobooks. Title: We Were the Universe: A novel Author: Kimberly King Parsons Narrator: Justis Bolding, Kristen Sieh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 49 minutes Release date: May 14, 2024 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: A TIME MUST-READ BOOK OF THE YEAR • A young mother, in denial after the death of her sister, navigates the dizzying landscapes of desire, guilt, and grief in this darkly comic, highly anticipated debut novel from Kimberly King Parsons, author of the story collection, Black Light (long-listed for the National Book Award). 'Kimberly King Parsons sings the lushest, cruelest, kindest, weirdest, darkest and most hilarious songs on paper; I want to hang these sentences in my house and admire them like the interdimensional multisensory illuminated artworks they truly are.' —Karen Russell, Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of Swamplandia! The trip was supposed to be fun. When Kit’s best friend gets dumped by his boyfriend, he begs her to ditch her family responsibilities for an idyllic weekend in the Montana mountains. They’ll soak in hot springs, then sneak a vape into a dive bar and drink too much, like old times. Instead, their getaway only reminds Kit of everything she’s lost lately: her wildness, her independence, and—most heartbreaking of all—her sister, Julie, who died a few years ago. When she returns home to the Dallas suburbs, Kit tries to settle in to her routine—long afternoons spent caring for her irrepressible daughter, going on therapist-advised dates with her concerned husband, and reluctantly taking her mother’s phone calls. But in the secret recesses of Kit’s mind, she’s reminiscing about the band she used to be in—and how they’d go out to the desert after shows and drop acid. She’s imagining an impossible threesome with her kid’s pretty gymnastics teacher and the cool playground mom. Keyed into everything that might distract from her surfacing pain, Kit spirals. As her already thin boundaries between reality and fantasy blur, she begins to wonder: Is Julie really gone? Neon bright in its insight, both devastating and laugh-out-loud funny, We Were the Universe is an ambitious, inventive novel from a revelatory new voice in American fiction—a fearless exploration of sisterhood, motherhood, friendship, marriage, psychedelics, and the many strange, transcendent shapes love can take.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/707081Tue, 14 May 2024 07:10:53 +0000Nannie GrahamPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/707081 to listen full audiobooks.

A telenovela-worthy drama. A moving family saga. All in a phone call you won’t want to hang up on. “A portrait of love, heartache, and hilarity that transcends its medium.”—Elle (The Best Literary Fiction Books of 2024, So Far) “Brilliant . . . Melissa Mogollon did not come to play.”—Kiley Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Such a Fun Age LONGLISTED FOR THE CENTER FOR FICTION FIRST NOVEL PRIZE “Yes, hi, Mari. It’s me. I’m over my tantrum now and calling you back . . . But first—you have to promise that you won’t tell Mom or Abue any of this. Okay? They’ll set the house on fire if they find out . . .” Structured as a series of one-sided phone calls from our spunky, sarcastic narrator, Luciana, to her older sister, Mari, this wildly inventive debut “jump-starts your heart in the same way it piques your ear” (Xochitl Gonzalez). As the baby of her large Colombian American family, Luciana is usually relegated to the sidelines. But now she finds herself as the only voice of reason in the face of an unexpected crisis: A hurricane is heading straight for Miami, and her eccentric grandmother, Abue, is refusing to evacuate. Abue is so one-of-a-kind she’s basically in her own universe, and while she often drives Luciana nuts, they’re the only ones who truly understand each other. So when Abue, normally glamorous and full of life, receives a shocking medical diagnosis during the storm, Luciana’s world is upended. When Abue moves into Luciana’s bedroom, their complicated bond intensifies. Luciana would rather be skating or sneaking out to meet girls, but Abue’s wild demands and unpredictable antics are a welcome distraction for Luciana from her misguided mother, absent sister, and uncertain future. Forced to step into the role of caretaker, translator, and keeper of the devastating family secrets that Abue begins to share, Luciana suddenly finds herself center stage, facing down adulthood—and rising to the occasion. As Luciana chronicles the events of her disrupted senior year of high school over the phone to Mari, Oye unfolds like the most fascinating and entertaining conversation you’ve ever eavesdropped on: a rollicking, heartfelt, and utterly unique novel that celebrates the beauty revealed and resilience required when rewriting your own story.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/716664Tue, 14 May 2024 07:10:53 +0000Nannie GrahamPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/716664 to listen full audiobooks.

They've tended bloodied feet, stitched ribbons to countless pairs of pointe shoes, and forged friendships that seem to transcend rivalry. But now Etienne Bernay, enfant terrible of French ballet, has come to their conservatory. Not only will he direct this year's production of The Nutcracker, but he's brought along a film crew to document his search for one special student who will receive a full scholarship to the Ballet de Paris Academie.

Leaving the security of their home and successful doctor’s practice, they set out for adventure, heading to Kalangadog Junction, a small Australian town of population fifty-nine that is so remote it’s not even on the map… Setting up Down Under isn’t quite as simple as the duo thought it would be. A hilarious cast of colourful characters make for some interesting new neighbours, including Gaelene, an Olympic wannabe with dreams of a gold medal. When Thomas’s new practice doesn’t take off, he tries to drum up business by judging the local beautiful baby competition, but can he do it without causing offence? Whatever they try, things don’t quite go to plan, especially with the unexpected arrival of the mother-in-law and an ex-fiancé. Will the happy couple be able to keep their marriage on track when their shared dream isn’t turning out quite how they thought it would? There’s a twist in this comedic tale of adventure, marriage and kangaroos that will have you crying ‘Crikey!’ louder than discovering a dingo playing the didgeridoo.

So, imagine their surprise when I returned as the hospital’s newest ER doctor. Believe me, no one is more surprised than I am. I had vowed to never return, even if it was the last safe haven during the zombie apocalypse. But when my niece Quinn begged me to come home, I couldn’t say no. My plan is to stay out of trouble this time, and, above all, avoid Quinn’s uncle Tristan—the man I love to hate and the reason I left Aspen Lake. But trouble starts to brew when my niece gets it into her pretty head that her uncle and I need to reconcile. The devious little thing insists we deck the halls together all season long. And since I’ll do anything to make Quinn happy, I agree, believing I’m completely immune to Tristan’s charm. Except the joke’s on me. Who knew that Tristan’s biggest regret was letting me go? And the infuriating man seems willing to do everything possible to win me back. Well, it’s going to take a Christmas miracle before I ever give him a second chance. Unfortunately for my plan, our chemistry could set a blizzard on fire. Now I have a major eEx emergency on my hands. Do I give my niece her Christmas wish, or do I let the love between Tristan and me flatline for once and for all?]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/714816Tue, 05 Dec 2023 07:10:53 +0000Nannie GrahamPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/714816 to listen full audiobooks.

But trouble starts to brew when my niece gets it into her pretty head that her uncle and I need to reconcile. The devious little thing insists we deck the halls together all season long. And since I’ll do anything to make Quinn happy, I agree, believing I’m completely immune to Tristan’s charm. Except the joke’s on me. Who knew that Tristan’s biggest regret was letting me go? And the infuriating man seems willing to do everything possible to win me back. Well, it’s going to take a Christmas miracle before I ever give him a second chance. Unfortunately for my plan, our chemistry could set a blizzard on fire. Now I have a major eEx emergency on my hands. Do I give my niece her Christmas wish, or do I let the love between Tristan and me flatline for once and for all?]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/all-the-little-bird-hearts-a-novel-by-viktoria-lloyd-barlow--65302969https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/711490 to listen full audiobooks.

I lived for and loved a bird-heart that summer; I only knew it afterwards.   Sunday Forrester lives with her sixteen-year-old daughter, Dolly, in the house she grew up in. She does things more carefully than most people. On quiet days, she must eat only white foods.

She's gratified by her work as a book doula but burdened by her belief that she need always be on call. Her elderly mother's birthday greeting is an inflation-adjusted calculation of the cost of raising Ana in a mice-infested house, her brother has hijacked the will of their recently deceased starchitect father, her adult child is changing rapidly before her eyes, and her best friend advocates for the truth in lies.

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

In den Unterlagen ihrer Großmutter stößt sie auf farbenfrohe Zeichnungen, die wunderbare Illustrationen für ihre Bücher wären. Doch ihre Oma ist nicht bereit, darüber zu sprechen, woher sie stammen, und über den Künstler E. Smith ist nur bekannt, dass er oder sie in einem Dorf an der Südwestküste von Schottland lebt. Kann dieses Dorf Swinton-on-Sea sein? Gerade hat Betty eine Einladung für das dortige Book Festival erhalten, und obwohl sie normalerweise öffentliche Auftritte meidet, reist sie nach Schottland, um Nachforschungen anzustellen. Bereits kurz nach ihrer Ankunft wird sie enttarnt und von Fans verfolgt. Der Buchhändler Eliyah hilft ihr und bringt sie ins B&B seiner Oma Nanette. Bei den Recherchen über den geheimnisvollen Künstler kommen die Schauspielerin und der zurückhaltende Bücherwurm sich näher. Dann macht Betty in der Bibliothek eine Entdeckung, die ihr zeigt, dass Eliyahs tragische Familiengeschichte eng mit ihrer eigenen verknüpft ist. Der dritte Band der Reihe um das schottische Bücherdorf - Liebe, Freundschaft und die schönsten Geschichten der Welt an einem Ort!

This time, though, instead of cruising the American road together, Otto Ringling and Volya Rinpoche are part of the famous meditation master's offbeat weight loss clinic, held over the course of ten Saturdays in a New York City yoga studio. Known—across twenty books, scores of essays, and twenty-five years of publishing—for being willing to try his hand at an unusually wide variety of themes, subjects, and genres, here Merullo works for the first time in the novella form, putting together a deft, moving, and tightly compressed tale that includes his trademark mix of spiritual inquiry and ordinary human emotions. While it does not promise to help listeners with their troublesome eating habits or other addictions, Rinpoche's Remarkable Ten-Week Weight Loss Clinic does look at those painful issues from a fresh angle, one full of sympathy and wisdom. It will certainly please lovers of the Breakfast with Buddha series, and perhaps bring new fans to the hundreds of thousands who've already enjoyed the travels and conversations of Otto and his enlightened teacher.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/710641Tue, 24 Oct 2023 07:10:53 +0000Nannie GrahamPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/710641 to listen full audiobooks.

Drawing near, she sees cracks in the sash windows and buddleia seedlings sprouting from chips in the rendering. Years have passed since she visited the house as a child – and yet here it is, still standing, waiting for her… ‘You need rescuing,’ she says, unlatching the wooden gate, ‘and so do I.’ Nan Green has been visiting the island of Anglesey for as long as she can remember, drawn back to its windswept beaches and hidden coves every summer. The island is her refuge, a place where as a child she could escape her controlling father, if only for a few weeks. When a ramshackle old cliffside farmhouse she remembers from her childhood comes on the market – complete with a wind-blasted hawthorn tree and endless sea views out towards the Irish coastline – Nan convinces her husband, Robin, they should buy it. But Nan’s dream of a perfect family home by the sea soon starts to crumble. Robin is increasingly distant and dismissive, echoing the past behaviour of her father. Meanwhile, Nan’s mother refuses to visit her new home. What history does she have with the old house? Could it be the same secret that makes islanders say the farmhouse is cursed? And what has it got to do with local craftsman and single father Harri? Locals say he has a troubled history, but when they meet walking along a pebbled beach Nan feels a strange connection to him. She can tell he’s a little broken, just like her. As Nan finds her place in the island community, old wounds begin to heal. But can she let go of her past after so many years? And by rescuing the farmhouse and setting its secrets free, can Nan save herself too? A heart-warming and unputdownable tale about old dreams, new beginnings and finding your own happy ending.

Title: [Spanish] - La buena letra Author: Refael Chirbes Narrator: María Luisa Solá Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 6 minutes Release date: October 11, 2023 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Ana le cuenta a su hijo fragmentos de una vida de pequeñas miserias con las que se han tejido las relaciones personales y familiares. Sus palabras se convierten, por tanto, en duro legado para una nueva generación que quiere levantarse sobre la inocencia. En La buena letra, el autor renuncia a narrar los grandes acontecimientos históricos para poner su foco de atención en lo íntimo y cotidiano, en el conjunto de gestos y silencios que marcan las vidas de unos personajes heridos por la traición y la deslealtad; los deseos frustrados y la desesperanza de un sufrimiento inútil en la medida en que sólo sirve para alimentar la voracidad de otros. Con este material, en el que tiene más peso lo que se intuye que lo que ex­plícitamente se narra, La buena letra se convierte en deudora de la concepción balzaquiana según la cual la novela es la historia privada de las naciones y consigue descubrir los mecanismos que funcionan como silen­cioso motor de la historia, en cuyo devenir toda generación se levanta so­bre las cenizas de otra y cada vez que el poder cambia de manos lo hace ba­jo el signo de la traición y de un sufrimiento que, siendo inútil, es también una forma descarnada de lucidez, de sabiduría. Chirbes maneja una voz que es emocionado espejo de la vida y, al mismo tiempo, construcción de un nuevo código desde el que leer el ayer convirtiéndolo en desolación de hoy. «Profundiza en la dimensión filosófica de la literatura, vuelve a poner en danza el trinomio de la literatura mundial –el amor, el sufrimien­to y la muerte–. Una obra maestra» (T. Paprotny, Hamburger Abendblatt). «Novela dura, cualquier cosa menos 'bella', demuestra que Chirbes es uno de los escritores más serios en nuestro país» (Javier Alfaya, El Mundo). «Una voz original y fuerte... Rafael Chirbes, con La buena letra y Los dis­paros del cazador, se ha situado entre los mejores novelistas españoles contemporáneos» (Martine Silber, Le Monde).]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/713007Wed, 11 Oct 2023 07:10:53 +0000Nannie GrahamPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/713007 to listen full audiobooks.

Twenty years later, Dee seems to have it all – fame, success, and a picture-perfect family. But behind closed doors, her marriage is crumbling and her heart still aches for the boy she left behind. Fionn never left home. Haunted by the past, he finds solace in the familiar rhythms of island life and the sea. But he’s never forgotten his first love, or the tragedy that drove them apart. When fate brings Dee and Fionn back together, old feelings resurface. But can they overcome the wounds of the past? Or are some promises meant to be broken?

The youngest child of many siblings - more than she cares to remember - from earliest childhood she has attended to their every desire, smoothed away the slightest discomfort with perfect obedience, with the highest degree of devotion. The country, it transpires, is the country of their family's ancestors, an obscure though reviled people.

Title: [Spanish] - El pacto del agua Author: Abraham Verghese Narrator: Daniel Nicolás Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 27 hours 7 minutes Release date: October 5, 2023 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Una magistral saga familiar ambientada en la India del siglo XX que ha cautivado al público y la crítica por el autor de Hijos del ancho mundo. «Grandiosa, espectacular y arrolladora». The New York Times «Uno de los tres mejores libros que leído en toda mi vida. [...] Épico, emocionante, absorbente». Oprah Winfrey El pacto del agua sigue a una familia que sufre una aflicción peculiar: en cada generación, al menos una persona muere ahogada, y en Kerala el agua está en todas partes. A principios del siglo XX, una niña de doce años es enviada en barco para contraer matrimonio con un hombre de cuarenta al que no conoce.

The war has brought him all the way from Louisiana to build a US airbase just across her father’s fields, but as they sway together, there is nothing else in the world. Only his gentle touch and his deep brown eyes. But being together comes at a price. As Theodore is Black, the might of the US Air Force is against them, and all the members of the little village community disapprove of their relationship. And they will all go to terrible lengths to tear the two young lovers apart... Decades later, heartbroken Ruby is back at her family’s crumbling farmhouse for the first time in years, after the loss of her beloved grandmother Irene. The roof has fallen in, family photographs are damaged – and her grandmother’s jewellery is nowhere to be found. When Ruby uncovers her grandmother’s waterlogged diaries, she discovers that Irene treasured one piece of lost jewellery above all. A locket from a man called Theodore. And the missing locket holds the key to unravelling a heartbreaking secret that changed her grandmother’s life… Is someone in the village hiding the locket to keep the truth about Irene and Theodore buried? And can Ruby find a way to honour her grandmother’s memory ­– or in digging up the pain of the war, will she tear her family apart? An absolutely breathtaking World War Two story about the power of love in the face of adversity, and how the tragic consequences of war can echo through generations.

Title: [German] - Vereinigungen:: Zwei Erzählungen von Robert Musil Author: Robert Musil Narrator: Moritz Brendel Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 5 minutes Release date: September 25, 2023 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Vereinigungen: Zwei Erzählungen von Robert Musil, gelesen von Moritz Brendel. Zwei Erzählungen, zwei Facetten weiblicher Leidenschaft; ein großartiger Schriftsteller: Robert Musil (1880-1942). Seine Werke zählen heute zu den schwierigsten der Weltliteratur. Selbst nach mehrmaliger Lektüre fällt es schwer zu sagen, was genau in den zwei Erzählungen passiert. An beiden Novellen arbeitete Musil zweieinhalb Jahre lang. Er veröffentlichte sie 1911 in einem Band unter dem Titel: 'Vereinigungen'. Beim Schreiben und dem ständigen Überarbeiten dieser Erzählungen zog er sich selbst psychosomatische Störungen zu; sein Buch 'Vereinigungen' fiel dennoch bei der Kritik durch und verkaufte sich schlecht, 'obwohl er mit ihm einen in der Literatur allein dastehenden Diskurs über das unmögliche Verhältnis zwischen den Geschlechtern schuf und große Einsichten in weibliches Denken und Fühlen zu dichterischer Sprache brachte.' (Franz Kaltenbeck) Die Versuchung der stillen Veronika Die Erzählung berichtet von einem Paar: Veronika und Johannes. Ihre Beziehung funktioniert nicht mehr, sie empfinden sich wie fremde Menschen. Die Kommunikation stagniert und beide gehen ihre eigenen Wege. Veronika fragt sich, was Johannes jetzt allein treibt, ob er vielleicht sogar schon tot ist. Veronika vermisst die Bindung an das Leben. Ihr Leben steht im Ungewissen. Sie ist sich dessen bewusst, ohne es konkret fassen zu können. Sie weiß, dass etwas ihr Leben zudeckt, doch sie weiß nicht was es genau ist.

Title: [German] - Vereinigungen:: Zwei Erzählungen von Robert Musil Author: Robert Musil Narrator: Moritz Brendel Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 5 minutes Release date: September 25, 2023 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Vereinigungen: Zwei Erzählungen von Robert Musil, gelesen von Moritz Brendel. Zwei Erzählungen, zwei Facetten weiblicher Leidenschaft; ein großartiger Schriftsteller: Robert Musil (1880-1942). Seine Werke zählen heute zu den schwierigsten der Weltliteratur. Selbst nach mehrmaliger Lektüre fällt es schwer zu sagen, was genau in den zwei Erzählungen passiert. An beiden Novellen arbeitete Musil zweieinhalb Jahre lang. Er veröffentlichte sie 1911 in einem Band unter dem Titel: 'Vereinigungen'. Beim Schreiben und dem ständigen Überarbeiten dieser Erzählungen zog er sich selbst psychosomatische Störungen zu; sein Buch 'Vereinigungen' fiel dennoch bei der Kritik durch und verkaufte sich schlecht, 'obwohl er mit ihm einen in der Literatur allein dastehenden Diskurs über das unmögliche Verhältnis zwischen den Geschlechtern schuf und große Einsichten in weibliches Denken und Fühlen zu dichterischer Sprache brachte.' (Franz Kaltenbeck) Die Versuchung der stillen Veronika Die Erzählung berichtet von einem Paar: Veronika und Johannes. Ihre Beziehung funktioniert nicht mehr, sie empfinden sich wie fremde Menschen. Die Kommunikation stagniert und beide gehen ihre eigenen Wege. Veronika fragt sich, was Johannes jetzt allein treibt, ob er vielleicht sogar schon tot ist. Veronika vermisst die Bindung an das Leben. Ihr Leben steht im Ungewissen. Sie ist sich dessen bewusst, ohne es konkret fassen zu können. Sie weiß, dass etwas ihr Leben zudeckt, doch sie weiß nicht was es genau ist. Durch diesen Dauerzustand verharrt alles im Grauen, bleibt im Eintönigen stecken. Ein Verlangen nach Entgrenzung führt paradoxaler Weise zu der Leere des Raumes, in dem die Tage 'einer wie der andere' dahingehen. Ekel deckt zu, ist eine Form der Verdrängung. Während all dieser Jahre, in denen sie beziehungslos durch das Leben geht, nach einem Sinn suchend, quält sie 'etwas Wunderbares, dass dann sein müsste, wie die nahe unter dem Bewusstsein treibende Erinnerung an eine wichtige vergessene Sache.

She’d been so much more fortunate than most Jews, saved from the horrors of the Nazi regime. Being adopted by Elizabeth and Daniel Lieber meant she and Erich spent the war in Northern Ireland, safe and loved, but Liesl always knew something was missing. When an opportunity to return to Berlin to represent her university presents itself, she is so torn. Should she go back to the city that rejected her and her family, would it be too harrowing, or would it feel like home? In Berlin, a chance encounter with an old family friend sparked emotions for Liesl that she’d suppressed since she was a child. She finds herself desperately wanting to go back to those carefree days before Hitler, when life made sense, but why was her family so set against her return? Was it because they were worried about her as they claimed, or was there a darker, more sinister reason?

De esta forma empieza el tormento de los hermanos Dollanganger -Cathy, Chris y los gemelos Carrie y Cory-, víctimas inocentes de pasiones prohibidas y condenados a vivir aislados del mundo. La crítica ha dicho... «Bello, macabro y meticulosamente cruel... Evoca el lado más oscuro de cuentos como La caperucita roja o Hansel y Gretel con un toque victoriano.» Daily Express]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-secret-sister-by-jan-baynham--65302954https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/716465 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [German] - Im Prinzip ist alles okay [Ungekürzt] Author: Yasmin Polat Narrator: Julia Meier Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 54 minutes Release date: September 14, 2023 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Miryam ist dreißig Jahre alt und vor einigen Monaten Mutter geworden. Auf der Party einer alten Bekannten strahlt sie mit ihrem weißen T-Shirt um die Wette. Aber ist wirklich alles gut? Seit der Geburt ihres Kindes ist Miryam von Selbstzweifeln geplagt. Sie kann nicht stillen, leidet an postnatalen Depressionen und versucht trotzdem alles richtig zu machen. Getrieben von der Scham über ihre Herkunftsfamilie und aus Angst, ihre gewaltvolle Kindheit zu wiederholen, tut sie alles, um so heil zu wirken wie die Mütter aus ihrem Umfeld und Instagram-Feed. Sie postet weichgefilterte Selfies von sich und ihrem Kind, informiert sich zu bedürfnisorientierter Erziehung und gesunden Beikost-Snacks. Doch Miryam zieht sich immer mehr zurück. Auch online findet sie keinen richtigen Austausch. In den sozialen Medien wird zwar vieles besprochen, nicht aber die eigenen Familientraumata, die möglicherweise wieder auftauchen, sobald man selbst Mutter wird. Sie fühlt sich immer stärker überfordert, auch ihre Partnerschaft geht zu Bruch, doch schließlich findet sie ihren ganz eigenen Weg aus der Krise - und damit doch noch zu sich selbst. Dem Roman gelingt es, mit ironisch-humorvollem Ton die Emanzipation einer jungen Mutter von familiär erlernten, destruktiven Mustern zu erzählen und ihren Weg in die Selbstbestimmtheit aufzuzeigen. Der Roman widmet sich den wichtigen Themen Mutterschaft und familiäre Gewalt mit viel Ironie und Eindringlichkeit. Zwischen Fläschchen und Instagram-Filtern: Im Prinzip ist alles okay zeichnet ein Porträt einer jungen Mutter, die Elternrollen und ihre eigene Kindheit hinterfragt.

Una conmovedora novela inspirada en sucesos reales que desentraña la dificultad de revelar lo casi inexplicable. Lúa, una niña pequeña de seis años, observa cómo cada Navidad llegan a su casa unos extraños sobres ribeteados en rojo y azul. Ella le pregunta inocentemente por su procedencia, pero su madre se resiste a responder. Poco a poco se va dando cuenta de que su anodina vida, en la época de la transición española, oculta secretos que nadie ha desvelado nunca.

Title: The Bakery at Clamshell Bay: A gorgeously uplifting and unforgettable story of love, friendship and secrets Series: #1 of Clamshell Bay Author: Sara Jane Bailey Narrator: Liza Ross Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 38 minutes Release date: August 30, 2023 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Where the sea laps the coast at Clamshell Bay in the Pacific Northwest, four women meet in a baking class. They’re as different as salt, flour, yeast and water – yet when they combine, the results are as strong and unbreakable as the best friendships. Cleo Duvall is a middle-aged baker who runs the Clamshell Bay Bakery and Café in the pretty tourist town on the Washington State coast, and her cinnamon buns are Instagram-famous. The coffee shop is the heart of the village – neighbors gossip over coffee and pastries, and if you want to know anything about anyone, the café is the place to ask. As a way to share her love for the art and craft of baking, Cleo teaches a weekend class. Her students this time include Brooke Mattson, a former supermodel who dreams of being a mom but is struggling to have a baby; Libby Brown, a proud homemaker whose happy family isn’t as perfect as it seems; and Megan Alexander, the local painter who may be free-spirited – or a commitment-phobe. Cleo survived her no-good husband running out on her three years ago with a young neighbor. She lived down the humiliation and is satisfied with a life so predictable she knows exactly how many loaves of French bread to bake on Thursdays. Then a man who looks strangely familiar strolls into her café and upsets the balance of her carefully ordered world. While the four women bond over bread dough, their lives begin to change, too. On the surface, Clamshell Bay is as calm as a sunny day in August, but anyone who’s lived by the ocean knows that one good storm can change everything. There are secrets buried in Clamshell Bay, and they are about to be exposed by a tide no one can stop. Treat yourself to a cinnamon bun and lose yourself in the utterly charming world of Clamshell Bay – you won’t want to leave. Fans of Firefly Lane, Pamela Kelley and Nancy Thayer will adore the Clamshell Bay series. Readers have fallen in love with The Bakery at Clamshell Bay: 'Cozy and comfy as fresh-baked bread, Sara Jane Bailey's writing is scrumptious.'

Title: The Cottage at Clamshell Bay: An uplifting feel-good beach read about second chances, love and friendship Series: #2 of Clamshell Bay Author: Sara Jane Bailey Narrator: Liza Ross Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 7 minutes Release date: August 30, 2023 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: In the charming Pacific Northwest town of Clamshell Bay, as the ocean turns from glittering blue to stormy grey, Libby Brown and her three best friends settle around her kitchen table. With a plate of chocolate chip cookies and fresh coffee, Libby lets her tears fall freely as the women listen to her heartbreak.    Libby’s life seems picture-perfect. She lives in her dream home, raising two precious children and supported by her loving husband, Victor. Sure, he’s away a lot with his job, but she has always accepted that he works hard to make their beautiful life possible.    But then, one day, Victor asks for a divorce, and suddenly Libby’s whole world falls apart.  Libby never expected to find herself a single mom, and when she receives a letter from the bank, it’s clear that Victor hasn’t been paying the mortgage. Her husband has been keeping secrets from her, and this isn’t the only one.    Desperate to keep the only home her son and daughter have ever known and protect them from their father’s affair, Libby turns to her three best friends, local baker Cleo, former model Brooke, and painter Megan, for advice and comfort.    Supported by the three women she met in Cleo’s baking class, their friendship forged over sharing bread and secrets, Libby finds the strength to fight for all she holds dear.    As she marches into the bank one morning, she’s surprised to meet manager Jeremy O’Toole. He’s charming and, just like her, has found himself a single parent. He's been struggling to cope since his wife died, leaving him broken-hearted with two rambunctious kids.    Libby must focus on trying to keep her home, but in trying to remake her life, can she help Jeremy rebuild his? Can two broken hearts heal each other in Clamshell Bay?    A feel-good beach read about the power of true friendship and how it’s never too late for a second chance at love. Fans of Firefly Lane, Pamela Kelley and Nancy Thayer will want to escape to Clamshell Bay.    Readers are in love with the Clamshell Bay series: 'Cozy and comfy as fresh-baked bread, Sara Jane Bailey's writing is scrumptious.'

Title: The Lion Trees Author: Owen Thomas Narrator: Elizabeth Austin, Robert Ashker Kraft Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 67 hours 1 minute Release date: August 4, 2023 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: What if survival required you to unlearn who you are? How far would you fall to save yourself? Sometimes happiness is a long way down. The Johns family is unraveling. Hollis, a retired Ohio banker, isolates himself in esoteric hobbies and a dangerous flirtation with a colleague's daughter. Susan, his wife of forty years, risks everything for a second chance at who she might have been. David, their eldest, thrashes to stay afloat as his teaching career capsizes in a storm of accusations over a missing student and the legacy of Christopher Columbus. While Tilly, the black sheep, trades her literary promise for an improbable career as a starlet, and then struggles to define herself amidst a humiliating scandal and the judgment of an uncompromising writer. By turns comical, suspenseful and poignant, the Johns family is tumbling toward the discovery that sometimes you have to let go of your identity to find out who you are.

Wendy Moore hides her collection of pilfered bric-a-brac from everyone, including her husband. He thinks she licked her kleptomania in therapy more than a decade ago. Therapy did help, as did focusing her attention on motherhood. But now Wendy’s gardening and furniture-refinishing hobbies fill up only so much of the day, leaving the recent empty nester lonely and anxious—a combination likely to trigger her little problem. She needs a project, fast. Luckily, Harper Ross—a single, childless younger woman in desperate need of highlights—just moved in next door. The only thing Harper wants to change is the writer’s block toppling her confidence and career. Then a muse comes knocking. Sensing fodder for a new antagonist, Harper plays along with Wendy’s “helpful” advice while keeping her career a secret so Wendy keeps talking. Sure, she’s torn about profiting off her neighbor’s goodwill—especially when Wendy’s matchmaking actually pans out—but Harper’s novel is practically writing itself. Just as a real friendship begins to cement, their deceptions come to light, threatening Wendy’s and Harper’s futures and forcing them to reconcile who they are with who they want to be.

Gina’s London life lies in tatters: she has lost her father, her steady job as a wine buyer and her suave but unfaithful boyfriend.

Title: The Secret of Elephants Author: Vasundra Tailor Narrator: Sharmila Devar Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 52 minutes Release date: September 1, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Navsari, India. Penniless and trapped in a loveless marriage, Nirmala spends her days anxiously caring for her sick young son, Varun. Looming over Nirmala’s impoverished home is an imposing mansion built by her grandfather, and from its balcony her cruel aunt scorns them, refusing to help in any way. But when a mysterious letter addressed to her long-dead father arrives from Zimbabwe, it opens a door to a past Nirmala never knew existed and a future she never imagined possible. If the contents of the letter can be believed, not only does she have family in Africa, but they might also hold the answers to a family mystery that spans three generations. While travelling to Zimbabwe might lead to a brighter future for Nirmala and her son, it could also reignite the bitter family feud that condemned her family to poverty. Nirmala is ready to risk it all to uncover the truth, but how will she cope when this journey changes her life forever?]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-recipe-for-hope-by-fiona-valpy--65302996https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/707426 to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Recipe for Hope Author: Fiona Valpy Narrator: Sarah Zimmerman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 3 minutes Release date: September 1, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: In this charming novel from the bestselling author of The Dressmaker’s Gift, food was once the language of Evie’s soul. Now, can she remember the recipe for happiness? Revised edition: Previously published as The French for Christmas, this edition of The Recipe for Hope includes editorial revisions. Evie’s running away: from her soon-to-be ex-husband’s shiny new life, from the devastating loss of her baby last year, from a memory-filled London and, most particularly, from Christmas. A remote cottage in the South of France seems like the perfect peaceful place to soothe her sorrows. But the countryside soon proves anything but quiet, from the rooster crowing at dawn to the barn owl hooting through the night—not to mention Evie’s handsome neighbour, doctor Didier, who works away in his garage at all hours. Unexpectedly, the sights and sounds of life amid the sparkling beauty of the Dordogne give Evie a renewed sense of inspiration, and with her French grandmother’s recipe book for company, she begins to rediscover her love of cooking. Soon, the tight-knit community begins to enfold her, reminding Evie what really matters in life. But are Didier’s gorgeous blue eyes on more than Evie’s delicious dinners? And can a cancelled Christmas—complete with a Not-Christmas feast for two—heal her heart?]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/707426Thu, 01 Sep 2022 07:10:53 +0000Nannie GrahamPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/707426 to listen full audiobooks.
