'The exploration of family and identity is filled with vivid characters and an enthralling plot, making it absorbing and emotional' The People’s Friend 'A lovely, heartwarming read about belonging' heat Can a return to the past be the start of something new? Bette and Nina Crowdie have never been close – the ten-year age difference doesn’t help, and Bette’s rarely been home since she left for university at eighteen. When their father passes away and unexpectedly splits the family farm between them, Nina is furious and afraid. She’s been working at the farm for the past five years. It’s the only home her young son, Barnaby, has ever had, and she’s convinced that Bette will sell at the first chance she gets. When they discover the huge debt their father has been hiding, Bette reluctantly agrees to help her sister. But that means they have to find a way to work together, and Bette must face up to the real reason she left all those years ago. Could a long-forgotten diary and the discovery of a secret orchard on their land help save the farm – and the sisters’ relationship? Praise for The Secret Orchard: ‘I loved the characters and the orchard! I gobbled it up in a couple of sittings.

The hilarious and heart-wrenching new novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of STEPPING UP and THE UNMUMSY MUM. ******************* Sometimes, in order to move forward, you need to go back. Joni’s always felt like an outsider in her blended family, and as an adult she’s done all she can to avoid them. The only person she’s remained close to is her beloved Nana. When Nana dies, she leaves behind something unexpected: an itinerary of pre-arranged activities for the whole family to complete over the course of a week. After years of trying but failing to bring Joni back into the fold, this appears to be Nana’s parting shot. After all, nothing says ‘family bonding’ quite like abseiling and ballroom dancing. With marriage and kids on the horizon, the life Joni’s always dreamed of is finally within touching distance. The last thing she wants to do is revisit the past. But Joni’s about to discover that a lot can happen in seven days. Nana’s Week of Fun is about to change everything… Praise for Sarah Turner: 'Written with such love and heart.

When fledgling writer Zoe arrives at the Sicilian holiday home of famed novelist Don Travers, she feels that she has made it. And yet as the week unfolds it is not Don but his children and unknowable wife, Lydia, who come to intrigue Zoe most. On the fringes, Don’s youngest, Nemony, watches as her older siblings begin to navigate the treacherous waters of the adult world. When her adored oldest sister makes a terrible mistake, the holiday ends suddenly, shattering the fragile balance of their parents’ marriage and the siblings’ lives.

Title: Reboot: A Novel Author: Justin Taylor Narrator: Justin Taylor Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 57 minutes Release date: April 23, 2024 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: The New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice • A raucous and wickedly smart satire of Hollywood, toxic fandom, and our chronically online culture, following a washed-up actor on his quest to revive the cult TV show that catapulted him to teenage fame David Crader is a has-been. A former child actor from the hit teen drama Rev Beach, he now rotates between his new roles as deadbeat dad, recovering alcoholic, and occasional videogame voice actor. But when David is summoned to Los Angeles by Grace, his ex-wife and former co-star, he suddenly sees an opportunity for a reboot—not just of the show that made him famous, but also of his listless existence. Hollywood, the Internet, and a fractured nation have other plans, however, and David soon drinks himself to a realization: This seemingly innocuous revival of an old Buffy rip-off could be the spark that sets ablaze a nation gripped by far-right conspiracy, climate catastrophe, and mass violence. Reboot is a madcap speculative comedy for our era of glass-eyed doom-scrolling and Millennial nostalgia—and yet it’s still full of heart.

Title: Reboot: A Novel Author: Justin Taylor Narrator: Justin Taylor Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 57 minutes Release date: April 23, 2024 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: The New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice • A raucous and wickedly smart satire of Hollywood, toxic fandom, and our chronically online culture, following a washed-up actor on his quest to revive the cult TV show that catapulted him to teenage fame David Crader is a has-been. A former child actor from the hit teen drama Rev Beach, he now rotates between his new roles as deadbeat dad, recovering alcoholic, and occasional videogame voice actor. But when David is summoned to Los Angeles by Grace, his ex-wife and former co-star, he suddenly sees an opportunity for a reboot—not just of the show that made him famous, but also of his listless existence. Hollywood, the Internet, and a fractured nation have other plans, however, and David soon drinks himself to a realization: This seemingly innocuous revival of an old Buffy rip-off could be the spark that sets ablaze a nation gripped by far-right conspiracy, climate catastrophe, and mass violence. Reboot is a madcap speculative comedy for our era of glass-eyed doom-scrolling and Millennial nostalgia—and yet it’s still full of heart. It’s a tale of former teen heartthrobs, striving parents, internet edgelords, and fish-faced cryptids, for anyone who has looked back on their life and wanted—even if but for a moment—to hit “reset.”]]>605falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/days-of-wonder-a-novel-by-caroline-leavitt--65303172https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/700139 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Days of Wonder: A Novel Author: Caroline Leavitt Narrator: Steve Quinn, Stephanie Willing, Xe Sands Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 19 minutes Release date: April 23, 2024 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: A New York Times bestselling author delivers a tantalizing, courageous story about mothers and daughters, guilt and innocence, and the lengths we go for love. As a teenager, for a moment, Ella Fitchburg found love—yearning, breathless love—that consumed both her and her boyfriend, Jude, as they wandered the streets of New York City together. But her life was unexpectedly upended when she was accused of trying to murder Jude’s father, an imperious superior court judge, and sentenced to twenty-five years in prison. When she learns she’s pregnant shortly after sentencing, she reluctantly decides to give up the child. Ella is released after serving only six years. While she is desperate to turn the page on a new life, she can’t seem to let go of her past. With only an address as a possible lead, she moves to Ann Arbor, Michigan, determined to get her daughter back. Forced to hide her identity and complicated past and live in a constant state of deception, she finds that what she’s been searching for all along is a way to uncover and live with the truth. Yet a central mystery endures: neither Jude nor Ella can remember the events leading up to the attempted murder—that fateful night which led to Ella’s conviction. For fans of Miranda Cowley Heller’s The Paper Palace and Allegra Goodman’s Sam, Caroline Leavitt’s Days of Wonder is a gripping high-drama page-turner about the elusive nature of redemption and the profound reach of love.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/700139Tue, 23 Apr 2024 07:10:54 +0000Sadye RobertsPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/700139 to listen full audiobooks.

Pumkin Patterson is a thirteen-year-old girl living in a tiny two-room house in Kingston, Jamaica, with her grandmother (who wants to improve the family’s social standing), her Aunt Sophie (who dreams of a new life in Paris for her and Pumkin), and her mother Paulette (who’s rarely home).

She’s returned with her teenage son to live in the run-down house at the end of the lane, and—though she’s strangely guarded—Nayan can’t help but be drawn to her. He hasn’t risked love since losing his young family in a terrible accident twenty years ago. In the wake of the tragedy, Nayan’s labor union, long a cornerstone of his community, became the center of his life: a way for him to channel his energies into making the world a better—fairer, as he sees it—place. Now he’s decided to mount a run for the leadership. But his campaign pits him against a newcomer, Megha, who quickly proves to be a more formidable challenger than he anticipated.

Suddenly, much more is threatened than his chances of winning. In one sense a tragedy in the classic mold, tracing one man’s seemingly inexorable fall, The Spoiled Heart is also an explosively contemporary story of how a few words or a single action—to one person careless, to another, charged—can trigger a cascade of unimaginable consequences.

Caroline Kline isn't ready to strike out. In New York City, newly single Caroline is stumbling her way through the recent implosion of her life. After a surprise breakup leaves her with no job, no apartment, and no backup plan, she’s unsure of what to do next. That is, until Caroline’s father, Leo, injures himself in a bad fall and asks her to move home to the Jersey Shore suburb she’d always been desperate to escape. But Leo doesn’t want his daughter to be his caretaker; he needs her to replace him as third baseman in his local men’s softball league. This isn’t just any season, Leo claims. This is the year they have a real shot at the World Series, the pride and joy of Glen Brook, New Jersey. Caroline agrees to move home, concerned that Leo is hiding a more serious health condition than he’s willing to admit. As the first female player in a league full of old-school men, she’s up against more than a few challenges. And when a night gone wrong lands her in the path of her hometown crush—and first love—Caroline struggles to reconcile the life she thought she’d have with the life she might actually want. Sharply observed and full of humor and heart, Welcome Home, Caroline Kline is a touching tribute to the many unconventional paths that victory, and recovery, can take.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/702357Tue, 16 Apr 2024 07:10:54 +0000Sadye RobertsPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/702357 to listen full audiobooks.

Americans now embrace the sacred, universal truth that there is no such thing as variable human intelligence. Because everyone is equally smart, discrimination against purportedly dumb people is ''the last great civil rights fight.'' Tests, grades, and employment qualifications are all discarded. Children are expelled for saying the S-word (“stupid”) and encouraged to report parents who use it at home. A college English instructor, the constitutionally rebellious Pearson Converse rejected her restrictive Jehovah’s Witness upbringing as a teenager, and so has an aversion to dogma of any kind. Made impotent in the university classroom, she’s also enraged by the crushing of her exceptionally bright children’s spirits in primary school. Fortunately, she enjoys the confidence of a best friend, a media commentator with whom she can speak frankly about her socially unacceptable contempt for the MP movement. Or at least she thinks she can . . . until one day the political chasm between the two women becomes uncrossable, and a lifelong relationship implodes.

As tensions rise, death threats follow, and an overwhelmed Minnow flees to a teaching position in Paris.

A couple decides to give it a shot in this fun, adventurous novel by Lian Dolan, the popular author of The Sweeney Sisters and Lost and Found in Paris. After twenty-three years of building careers and raising kids together, Jason and Nicole Elswick are ready for a break from their daily lives. Jason has spent years planning his dream sabbatical—ditching work for a nine-month-long motorcycle trip through South America. Problem is, that’s Jason’s dream, not Nicole’s. After years working retail and parenting in Portland, Nicole craves the sun of the Southwest and the artistic community in Santa Fe, where she wants to learn jewelry design. A chance encounter at a dinner party presents a surprising—and intriguing—way out of their dilemma. Over a little too much wine, Jason and Nicole’s married neighbors sing the praises of the 500 Mile Rule: their policy of enjoying themselves however they wish—and with whomever they wish—when they’re temporarily far apart. It seems like the perfect solution: nine months pursuing their own adventures—with a bit of don’t-ask-don’t-tell—and then a return to their shared lives. It’ll be a sabbatical from their marriage as well as their day jobs. As Jason bikes his way across a continent and Nicole reclaims the art she’s long neglected, they discover the pleasures and pitfalls of the 500 Mile Rule, confronting temptations of all kinds, uncomfortable truths about themselves, and gaining new perspective on their partnership.

Just as Charlotte starts to envision a future, a familiar face from her past reappears: Evie, her friend from White Oaks, has been brought to the city by the plantation mistress, and she’s desperate to escape. But as Charlotte and Nell conspire to rescue her, in a city engulfed by race riots and attacks on abolitionists, they soon discover that fighting for Evie’s freedom may cost them their own.]]>605falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/worry-a-novel-by-alexandra-tanner--65303272https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/693911 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Worry: A Novel Author: Alexandra Tanner Narrator: Helen Laser Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 13 minutes Release date: March 26, 2024 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: NATIONAL BESTSELLER A “dryly witty” (The New Yorker) and “fabulously revealing” (The New York Times Book Review) debut that follows two sisters-turned-roommates navigating an absurd world on the verge of calamity—a Seinfeldian novel for readers of Ottessa Moshfegh and Sally Rooney. It’s March of 2019, and twenty-eight-year-old Jules Gold—anxious, artistically frustrated, and internet-obsessed—has been living alone in the apartment she once shared with the man she thought she’d marry when her younger sister Poppy comes to crash. Indefinitely. Poppy, a year and a half out from a suicide attempt only Jules knows about, searches for work and meaning in Brooklyn while Jules spends her days hate-scrolling the feeds of Mormon mommy bloggers and waiting for life to happen. Then the hives that’ve plagued Poppy since childhood flare up. Jules’s uterus turns against her. Poppy brings home a maladjusted rescue dog named Amy Klobuchar. The girls’ mother, a newly devout Messianic Jew, starts falling for the same deep-state conspiracy theories as Jules’s online mommies. Jules, halfheartedly struggling to scrape her way to the source of her ennui, slowly and cruelly comes to blame Poppy for her own insufficiencies as a friend, a writer, and a sister. And Amy Klobuchar might have rabies. As the year shambles on and a new decade looms near, a disastrous trip home to Florida forces Jules and Poppy—comrades, competitors, constant fixtures in each other’s lives—to ask themselves what they want their futures to look like, and whether they’ll spend them together or apart. “A tragicomic portrait of urban millennial life” (Shelf Awareness), Worry is a “riotously funny and wryly existential” (Harper’s Bazaar) novel of sisterhood from a nervy new voice in contemporary fiction.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/693911Tue, 26 Mar 2024 07:10:54 +0000Sadye RobertsPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/693911 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - What Happened to Ruthy Ramirez Que le pasó a Ruthy Ramírez (SP ed) Author: Claire Jimenez Narrator: Jenyvette Vega Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 35 minutes Release date: March 12, 2024 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Las Ramírez de Stanten Islan orbitan alrededor de la ausencia. Cuando Ruthy, a los trece años, desapareció sin dejar rastro después de un entrenamiento de atletismo, su familia quedó marcada y deshecha. Una noche, doce años después, Jessica, la hermana mayor, ve en la pantalla de su televisión a una mujer que aparece en Catfight, un reality show subido de tono. Se apresura a decírselo a Nina, su hermana menor. El pelo de esta mujer está teñido de rojo y se hace llamar Ruby, pero el lunar bajo su ojo izquierdo es reconocible al instante. ¿Podría ser Ruthy, después de todo este tiempo? Los años desde la desaparición de Ruthy no han sido fáciles para la familia Ramírez. Es el año 2008 y su madre, Dolores, todavía padece la pérdida; Jessica se las arregla entre su bebé recién nacido y su trabajo en el hospital; y Nina, después de cuatro exitosos años en la universidad y de no haber sido aceptada en la escuela de medicina, regresa a casa y se ve obligada a trabajar en el centro comercial doblando diminutas tangas en una tienda de lencería. Después de ver a la posible Ruthy en la pantalla, Jessica y Nina planean manejar hasta el lugar donde se filma el programa para buscar a su hermana perdida. Cuando Dolores descubre su plan, insisten en ir con ellas, junto con Irene, su mejor amiga. Lo que sigue es un viaje de familia y un reencuentro que forzará a las Ramírez a, por fin, enfrentar el pasado y mirar hacia el futuro, con o sin Ruthy en sus vidas. ¿Qué le pasó a Ruthy Ramírez? es un retrato de familia vívido, en toda su destrozada realidad, que explora los lazos de familia entre mujeres y los ciclos de generaciones de violencia, colonialismo, raza y silencio, llenos de sarcasmo, resentimiento, ternura y, por supuesto, amor.  The Ramirez women of Staten Island orbit around absence. When thirteen-year-old middle child Ruthy disappeared after track practice without a trace, it left the family scarred and scrambling. One night, twelve years later, oldest sister Jessica spots a woman on her TV screen in Catfight, a raunchy reality show. She rushes to tell her younger sister, Nina: This woman's hair is dyed red, and she calls herself Ruby, but the beauty mark under her left eye is instantly recognizable. Could it be Ruthy, after all this time? The years since Ruthy's disappearance haven't been easy on the Ramirez family. It’s 2008, and their mother, Dolores, still struggles with the loss, Jessica juggles a newborn baby with her hospital job, and Nina, after four successful years at college, has returned home to medical school rejections and is forced to work in the mall folding tiny bedazzled thongs at the lingerie store. After seeing maybe-Ruthy on their screen, Jessica and Nina hatch a plan to drive to where the show is filmed in search of their long-lost sister. When Dolores catches wind of their scheme, she insists on joining, along with her pot-stirring holy roller best friend, Irene. What follows is a family road trip and reckoning that will force the Ramirez women to finally face the past and look toward a future—with or without Ruthy in it. What Happened to Ruthy Ramirez is a vivid family portrait, in all its shattered reality, exploring the familial bonds between women and cycles of generational violence, colonialism, race, and silence, replete with snark, resentment, tenderness, and, of course, love.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/693826Tue, 12 Mar 2024 07:10:54 +0000Sadye RobertsPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/693826 to listen full audiobooks.

On a bleak January day in 1845, a poet who had been confined to her room for four years by recurrent illness received a letter from a writer she secretly idolized but had never seen. “I love your verses with all my heart, dear Miss Barrett,” Robert Browning wrote, “and I love you too.”   Elizabeth Barrett was ecstatic. She was famous for her poetry but completely cut off from the kind of international travel that Browning used to fuel his obscure, unsuccessful, innovative poems, one of which was written from a murderer’s point of view. They began an affectionate correspondence, but Elizabeth kept delaying a visit. What would happen when he saw her in person? What was Robert really like? Could she persuade her father and brothers that he was honorable, even though she had never met his family? And what would happen if she gave in to Robert’s wild proposal that they go to Italy and see if the sun could cure her?   McNeal brilliantly tells the story of how Robert and Elizabeth fell in love with each other’s words and shocked her conservative, close-knit family and the literary world.

I was captivated from the very first line.” — Kristy Woodson Harvey, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Summer of Songbirds Perhaps the secrets of her mother’s past in this tiny French town hold the key to her own future. . . Food critic Tempèsta Luddington has always felt like the odd person out in her family, ever since she lost her beloved mother at the tender age of thirteen. When her workaholic father passes fifteen years later, Tempèsta is not surprised that the majority of the considerable family money will pass to her dutiful younger brother, Wal. Still, she is left a modest remembrance from her mother, and for the first time Tempèsta has a world of choices before her. Lost in grief and hoping to reconnect with her memories and her mother’s past, she uses the money to buy a ramshackle manor house in Sainte-Colombe, a small village in Provence, where her mother had grown up. But she is greeted with more questions than answers. Her welcome, especially by the town’s stodgy mayor, is cold at best, and she finds herself wondering if the entire experiment was a mistake. Yet she stays, stubbornly sticking it out, slowly learning that her mother’s legacy was more than just a nest egg. Through her mother and the village, Tempèsta learns the value of community and friendship, the importance of self-confidence, and the power of love and trust. What’s more, she sees for herself that there is magic and beauty in the everyday—even something as simple as a sprig of lavender and sage. “For readers who love Under the Tuscan Sun and Chocolat, this is your next heartfelt, delightful read.” —Jennifer Moorman, bestselling author of The Baker's Man - A dreamy escape into Southern France from bestselling author Aimie K.

For Francisco, a local fisherman who resents the foreign powers clamoring for a slice of his country, nothing is more upsetting than the decision of his son, Omar, to work as a digger in the excavation zone. But for Omar, whose upbringing was quiet and lonely, this job offers a chance to finally find connection. Ada Bunting is a bold sixteen-year-old from Barbados who arrives in Panama as a stowaway alongside thousands of other West Indians seeking work. Alone and with no resources, she is determined to find a job that will earn enough money for her ailing sister’s surgery. When she sees a young man—Omar—who has collapsed after a grueling shift, she is the only one who rushes to his aid. John Oswald has dedicated his life to scientific research and has journeyed to Panama in single-minded pursuit of one goal: eliminating malaria. But now, his wife, Marian, has fallen ill herself, and when he witnesses Ada’s bravery and compassion, he hires her on the spot as a caregiver. This fateful decision sets in motion a sweeping tale of ambition, loyalty, and sacrifice.  Searing and empathetic,The Great Divide explores the intersecting lives of activists, fishmongers, laborers, journalists, neighbors, doctors, and soothsayers—those rarely acknowledged by history even as they carved out its course.

Title: Finding Sophie: A Novel Author: Imran Mahmood Narrator: Lydia Bakelmun, Oliver Hembrough Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 15 minutes Release date: March 5, 2024 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Two parents conduct an increasingly desperate search for their missing daughter in “a clever, chilling thriller that is also unexpectedly moving” (Shari Lapena, New York Times bestselling author of Everyone Here Is Lying) “Imran Mahmood is the only author writing about a missing person who deals with grief this well. I loved it.”—Gillian McAllister, New York Times bestselling author of Wrong Place Wrong Time Someone is guilty. For the last seventeen years, Harry and Zara King’s lives have revolved around their only daughter, Sophie. One day, Sophie leaves the house and doesn’t come home. Six weeks later, the police are no closer to finding her than when they started. Harry and Zara have questioned everyone who has ever had any connection to Sophie, to no avail. Except there’s one house on their block—number 210, across the street—whose occupant refuses to break his silence. Someone knows what happened. As the question mark over number 210 devolves into obsession, Harry and Zara are forced to examine their own lives. They realize they have grown apart, suffering in separate spheres of grief. And as they try to find their way back to each other, they must face the truth about their daughter: who she was, how she changed, and why she disappeared. Someone will pay. Told in the alternating perspectives of Harry and Zara, and in a dual timeline between the weeks after Sophie’s disappearance and a year later in the middle of a murder trial, Imran Mahmood’s taut yet profoundly moving novel explores how differently grief can be experienced even when shared by parents—and how hope triumphs when it springs from the kind of love that knows no bounds.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/697155Tue, 05 Mar 2024 07:10:54 +0000Sadye RobertsPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/697155 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Painter's Daughters: A Novel Author: Emily Howes Narrator: Gemma Lawrence, Louise Brealey Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 56 minutes Release date: February 27, 2024 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: A “beautifully written” (Hilary Mantel), “fascinating” (The Washington Post) story of love, madness, sisterly devotion, and control, about the two beloved daughters of renowned 1700s English painter Thomas Gainsborough, who struggle to live up to the perfect image the world so admired in their portraits. Peggy and Molly Gainsborough—the daughters of one of England’s most famous portrait artists of the 1700s and the frequent subject of his work—are best friends. They spy on their father as he paints, rankle their mother as she manages the household, and run barefoot through the muddy fields that surround their home. But there is another reason they are inseparable: from a young age, Molly periodically experiences bouts of mental confusion, even forgetting who she is, and Peggy instinctively knows she must help cover up her sister’s condition. When the family moves to Bath, it’s not so easy to hide Molly’s slip-ups. There, the sisters are thrown into the whirlwind of polite society, where the codes of behavior are crystal clear. Molly dreams of a normal life but slides deeper and more publicly into her delusions. Peggy knows the shadow of an asylum looms for women like Molly, and she goes to greater lengths to protect her sister’s secret. But when Peggy unexpectedly falls in love with her father’s friend, the charming composer Johann Fischer, the sisters’ precarious situation is thrown catastrophically off course. Her burgeoning love for Johann sparks the bitterest of betrayals, forcing Peggy to question all she has done for Molly, and whether any one person can truly change the fate of another. A tense and tender examination of the blurred lines between protection and control, The Painter’s Daughter is an “engaging, transporting” (The Guardian) look at the real girls behind the canvas. Emily Howes’s debut is a stunning exploration of devotion, control, and individuality; it is a love song to sisterhood, to the many hues of life, and to being looked at but never really seen.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/693927Tue, 27 Feb 2024 07:10:54 +0000Sadye RobertsPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/693927 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Greta & Valdin: A Novel Author: Rebecca K Reilly Narrator: Jackson Bliss, Natalie Beran, Eilidh Beaton, Gary Furlong, Nico Evers-Swindell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 28 minutes Release date: February 6, 2024 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: A New York Times Editors’ Choice • “A heartfelt portrait of a complex family.” —People • “Laugh-out-loud-funny.” —Harper’s Bazaar • “Quintessential rom-com meets the delicious family sprawl of a Russian classic.” —Vanity Fair An irresistible, “generous, [and] tender” (The New York Times) international bestseller that follows a brother and sister as they navigate queerness, multiracial identity, and family drama, all while flailing their way to love—for fans of Schitt’s Creek and Sally Rooney’s Normal People. It’s been a year since his ex-boyfriend dumped him and moved from Auckland to Buenos Aires, and Valdin is doing fine. He has a good flat with his sister Greta, a good career where his colleagues only occasionally remind him that he is the sole Maaori person in the office, and a good friend who he only sleeps with when he’s sad. But when work sends him to Argentina and he’s thrown back in his former lover’s orbit, Valdin is forced to confront the feelings he’s been trying to ignore—and the future he wants. Greta is not letting her painfully unrequited crush (or her possibly pointless master’s thesis, or her pathetic academic salary...) get her down.

Title: Greta & Valdin: A Novel Author: Rebecca K Reilly Narrator: Jackson Bliss, Natalie Beran, Eilidh Beaton, Gary Furlong, Nico Evers-Swindell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 28 minutes Release date: February 6, 2024 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: A New York Times Editors’ Choice • “A heartfelt portrait of a complex family.” —People • “Laugh-out-loud-funny.” —Harper’s Bazaar • “Quintessential rom-com meets the delicious family sprawl of a Russian classic.” —Vanity Fair An irresistible, “generous, [and] tender” (The New York Times) international bestseller that follows a brother and sister as they navigate queerness, multiracial identity, and family drama, all while flailing their way to love—for fans of Schitt’s Creek and Sally Rooney’s Normal People. It’s been a year since his ex-boyfriend dumped him and moved from Auckland to Buenos Aires, and Valdin is doing fine. He has a good flat with his sister Greta, a good career where his colleagues only occasionally remind him that he is the sole Maaori person in the office, and a good friend who he only sleeps with when he’s sad. But when work sends him to Argentina and he’s thrown back in his former lover’s orbit, Valdin is forced to confront the feelings he’s been trying to ignore—and the future he wants. Greta is not letting her painfully unrequited crush (or her possibly pointless master’s thesis, or her pathetic academic salary...) get her down. She would love to focus on the charming fellow grad student she meets at a party and her friendships with a circle of similarly floundering twenty-somethings, but her chaotic family life won’t stop intruding: her mother is keeping secrets, her nephew is having a gay crisis, and her brother has suddenly flown to South America without a word.

A city-boy newcomer. Some rules were meant to be broken... Opposites attract in this delightful rural romance, set in charming small-town Bundilla, from bestselling Australian author Alissa Callen Horsewoman Brenna Lancaster has no time for relationships. Unless a man looks good on a horse and lets her call the shots, she isn't interested. She'd rather wear a dress and heels than give someone else power over her life. Finance guru Wyatt Killian is a self-made man who has left the train wreck of his childhood behind. There is zero room in his workaholic world for downtime and distractions, let alone emotions or country girls. When Wyatt's corporate horse-riding retreat is led by a woman determined to unplug him from his urban life, it isn't just his laser focus that becomes compromised. Being in a saddle unlocks a part of himself that he'd long ago discarded. In a rare moment of nostalgia, he prolongs his stay in the high country. After Brenna becomes mired in a family secret that involves a historic feud and bushrangers, she has no choice but to involve Wyatt in the search for answers. But as Wyatt's past collides with his future, and the only home Brenna has known comes under threat, both must decide what they need to let go of and what is worth fighting for.

On a battlefield near the River Escaut, John lies in the aftermath of a blast, unable to move or feel his legs. Struggling to focus his thoughts, he is lost to memory as the snow falls—a chance encounter in a pub by a railway, a hot bath with his lover on a winter night. 1920. John has returned from war to North Yorkshire, near a different river. He is alive but still not whole. Reunited with Helena, an artist, he reopens his photography business and tries to keep on living. But the past erupts insistently into the present, as ghosts begin to surface in his pictures: ghosts with messages he cannot understand. So begins a narrative that spans four generations of connections and consequences that ignite and reignite as the century unfolds. In radiant moments of desire, comprehension, longing, and transcendence, the sparks fly upward, working their transformations decades later.

On a battlefield near the River Escaut, John lies in the aftermath of a blast, unable to move or feel his legs. Struggling to focus his thoughts, he is lost to memory as the snow falls—a chance encounter in a pub by a railway, a hot bath with his lover on a winter night. 1920. John has returned from war to North Yorkshire, near a different river. He is alive but still not whole. Reunited with Helena, an artist, he reopens his photography business and tries to keep on living. But the past erupts insistently into the present, as ghosts begin to surface in his pictures: ghosts with messages he cannot understand. So begins a narrative that spans four generations of connections and consequences that ignite and reignite as the century unfolds. In radiant moments of desire, comprehension, longing, and transcendence, the sparks fly upward, working their transformations decades later. Held is affecting and intensely beautiful, full of mystery, wisdom, and compassion, a novel by a writer at the height of her powers.]]>605falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/crown-papers-the-sequel-to-bbc-radio-4-regal-drama-crown-house-by-juliet-ace-peter-ling--65303312https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/692238 to listen full audiobooks.

Her life is so full, so why is she hungry? For Piglet – an unshakable childhood nickname – getting married is her opportunity to reinvent. Together, Kit and Piglet are the picture of domestic bliss – effortless hosts, planning a covetable wedding ... But if a life looks too good to be true, it probably is. Thirteen days before they are due to be married, Kit reveals an awful truth, cracking the façade Piglet has created. It has the power to strip her of the life she has so carefully built, so smugly shared. To do something about it would be to self-destruct. But what will it cost her to do nothing? As the hours count down to their wedding, Piglet is torn between a growing appetite and the desire to follow the recipe, follow the rules. Surely, with her husband, she could be herself again.

Wheeler-dealer snooker club owner Geoff Bryant and his wife Jenny have recently moved onto a new estate in Whittleshulme, Cheshire. Described in the brochure as an 'exclusive village development', it's squarely aimed at yuppies, the nouveau-riche and high-fliers. The trouble is, there are no local teenagers to babysit, leaving the residents to juggle careers and kids as best they can. So when local bigwig Julian Percival sets up a babysitting circle, it seems like the ideal solution. Not only does it present an opportunity for Geoff (who has a sneaky ulterior motive for joining) but it's a lifeline for his neighbours, including frazzled doctor Tariq and hardworking headmistress Carla. But none of them have banked on naughty five-year-old Crystal, whose behaviour is so bad it's embarrassing. And when the group are faced with a childcare crisis, who will be left holding the baby? Written by prize-winning author Elizabeth Baines, this funny, feelgood comedy drama stars Sherrie Hewson, John McArdle, Jane Hazelgrove, Lyndam Gregory and Jonathon Morris.

After their mum passes away, there's a surprise at the reading of her will. An unexpected windfall has been left to them, but there's one very big catch: the brothers must commit to living together for three months. As far as Jack and Lesley are concerned, this is a total disaster. They will do everything they can to avert the crisis and get their hands on their cash legacy. Two very different worlds collide as the brothers try to navigate their way through the challenge. Things only get harder when Lesley becomes head of redundancy at Jack's work, but can Jack's reputation as a ladies' man help his brother out of a fix? An attempt to share their hobbies doesn't quite go to plan and, in desperation, they consider a high stakes life and death intervention with hilarious consequences. Enjoy this rollercoaster of a comedy that will have you cheering for the hapless duo as they try desperately to make their mother proud, without killing each other in the process.

An eight-year-old girl, Elizabeth Squire, has a choice to make: to be disabled by the circumstances of her own botched birth or to become extraordinary. In Buffy Cram's captivating new novel, Elizabeth narrates the story of her childhood in the late sixties, describing how she came to be at a Vancouver halfway house at the age of nineteen.

Throughout, Buffy Cram weaves humor and heartbreak together to form an engaging narrative about cults—the cult of family, the cult of counterculture, the cult of rock 'n' roll—and the role of story within those cults.]]>1805falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/home-fires-by-luanne-rice--65303195https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/700803 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - La muerte nómada (Yeruldelgger 3) Series: #3 of Yeruldelgger Author: Ian Manook Narrator: Charo Soria Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 42 minutes Release date: September 21, 2023 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Desde las áridas estepas mongolas hasta el corazón de Manhattan, y desde Canadá hasta Australia, Ian Manook insufla en el género policíaco un aire más negro y salvaje que nunca con esta tercera entrega de la trilogía del comisario mongol Yeruldelgger. Una de las series más originales de los últimos tiempos. Los años de lucha contra el crimen y el dolor por la muerte de su hija Koshi han hecho mella en Yeruldelgger. Encerrado en un misticismo a ultranza, hace cuatro meses que el incorruptible comisario ha abandonado la policía de Ulán Bator y ha plantado su yurta en el desierto de Gobi, donde, gracias al silencio y la belleza del lugar, espera reencontrarse con las tradiciones ancestrales y recuperar la paz espiritual. Pero su retiro durará muy poco: contra su voluntad, dos jinetes extraños lo empujarán a la acción, y Yeruldelgger se verá envuelto así en un fuego cruzado entre mercenarios pagados por voraces compañías mineras, políticos inmorales, policías corruptos y jóvenes seguidores del juramento de Gengis Kan. Una maraña sangrienta en una Mongolia destripada por las excavadoras de las multinacionales, expoliada por las ansias de los especuladores y arruinada por la venalidad de sus dirigentes, y de la que Yeruldelgger, siempre fiel a sus ideales, no saldrá indemne. Tras el éxito de las dos primeras entregas, con más de medio millón de lectores adictos a las hazañas del famoso comisario de Mongolia, Yeruldelgger. La muerte nómada pone un final dramático a una de las series más originales de los últimos tiempos y supone el adiós de uno de los personajes más inolvidables de la novela negra. La crítica ha dicho... «Una novela excelente, que cierra a lo grande la trilogía de Yeruldelgger.» La Vie «Una tercera investigación cargada, como la vida, de una buena dosis de violencia, humor y sexo.» Le Point «Un retrato de Mongolia a imagen del personaje que colma esta novela: alarmante, pero también portador de esperanza.» culturellementvotre.fr «Una Mongolia inmensa, espiritual, negra.

Title: [Spanish] - Tiempos salvajes (Yeruldelgger 2) Series: #2 of Yeruldelgger Author: Ian Manook Narrator: Charo Soria Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 4 minutes Release date: September 21, 2023 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Ian Manook regresa a Mongolia y a su carismático comisario, Yeruldelgger. País de fuertes contrastes, donde las tradiciones ancestrales y la espiritualidad conviven con la mafia y el crimen organizado, Mongolia vuelve a ser protagonista de esta vibrante novela que consolida a su autor como una de las voces más originales del noir en los últimos años. En medio de las gélidas estepas mongolas, la inspectora Oyun, ayudante del comisario Yeruldelgger, se topa con una escena difícil de interpretar: un jinete y su caballo yacen aplastados bajo el lomo de una hembra de yak que parece haber caído del cielo. La misma sorpresa experimenta su jefe cuando, en un desfiladero del macizo del Otgontenger, se descubre el cadáver de un hombre que sólo puede haber acabado ahí... precipitándose desde las alturas. Y para cerrar el círculo de hechos insólitos, el mismo comisario es detenido como sospechoso del asesinato de Colette, una amiga prostituta a la que había ayudado a rehacer su vida. Sumido en la perplejidad y temiendo ser víctima de una trampa, Yeruldelgger acomete una investigación clandestina que generará tensiones con su equipo, reabrirá viejas heridas con su hija Saraa y provocará la intervención de los maestros shaolin del séptimo monasterio en el que fue criado. Pero la situación da un vuelco completo con el hallazgo de los cuerpos sin vida de un grupo de niños dentro de un contenedor en el puerto de El Havre. Pese a los miles de kilómetros que separan Mongolia de Francia, las pistas acabarán por cruzarse para destapar un caso de corrupción y abusos a todos los niveles que afecta a las más altas esferas de diversos países, desde Europa hasta Asia. La crítica ha dicho... «El autor juega con habilidad en varios escenarios para construir un thriller, que es también una novela de suspense, acción y aventuras. [...] Esta segunda entrega de Ian Manook es tan vibrante, envolvente y densa como la primera.» Mediapart «Sin lugar a dudas, Yeruldelgger se ha unido a la familia de viejos policías golpeados por la vida, irritables y solitarios como Wallander y Erlendur.Pero su creador, Ian Manook, no ha dudado en potenciar su carácter para hacerlo notablemente singular.» Les Échos «Un dominio insolente del suspense.

Eighty-five years later, a journalist teams up with a woman living on Koster Isle to find out what happened to Poppy, once and for all. 1907. On the eve of her fifth birthday, Poppy Pendleton is tucked safely in her bed, listening to her parents entertain New York’s gilded society in their Thousand Islands castle; the next morning, she is gone, and her father is found dead in his smoking room. 1992. Though Chloe Ridell lives in the shadows of Poppy’s castle, now in ruins, she has little interest in the mystery that still captivates tourists and locals alike. She is focused on preserving the island she inherited from her grandparents and reviving their vintage candy shop.

Nell McDaragh never knew her grandfather, the celebrated Irish poet Phil McDaragh. But his love poems seem to speak directly to her. Restless and wryly self-assured, at twenty-two Nell leaves her mother Carmel’s orderly home to find her own voice as a writer (mostly online, ghost-blogging for an influencer) and to live a poetical life. As she chases obsessive love, damage, and transcendence in Dublin and beyond, her grandfather’s poetry seems to guide her home.Nell’s mother, Carmel McDaragh, knows the magic of her Daddo’s poetry too well—the kind of magic that makes women in their nighties slip outside for a kiss and then elope, as her mother Terry had done. In his poems to Carmel, Phil envisions his daughter as a bright-eyed wren ascending in escape from his hand. But it is Phil who departs, abandoning his wife and two young daughters. Carmel struggles to reconcile “the poet” with the father whose desertion scars her life, along with that of her fiercely dutiful sister and their gentle, cancer-ridden mother. To distance herself from this betrayal Carmel turns inward, raising Nell, her daughter and one trusted love, alone.The Wren, the Wren brings to life three generations of McDaragh women who must contend with inheritances—of poetic wonder and of abandonment by a man who is lauded in public and carelessly selfish at home. Their other, stronger inheritance is a sustaining love that is “more than a strand of DNA, but a rope thrown from the past, a fat twisted rope, full of blood.” In knife-sharp prose studded with crystalline poetry, Anne Enright masterfully braids a family story of longing, betrayal, and hope.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/698527Tue, 19 Sep 2023 07:10:54 +0000Sadye RobertsPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/698527 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Dayswork: A Novel Author: Jennifer Habel, Chris Bachelder Narrator: Janet Metzger Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 57 minutes Release date: September 5, 2023 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: A startlingly original, incantatory novel about marriage, mortality, and making art. In the endless days of the pandemic, a woman spends her time sorting fact from fiction in the life and work of Herman Melville. As she delves into Melville's impulsive purchase of a Massachusetts farmhouse, his fevered revision of Moby-Dick there, his intense friendship with neighbor Nathaniel Hawthorne, and his troubled and troubling marriage to Elizabeth Shaw, she becomes increasingly obsessed by what his devotion to his art reveals about cost, worth, and debt. Her preoccupation both deepens and expands, and her days' work extends outward to an orbiting cast of Melvillean questers and fanatics, as well as to biographers and writers—among them Elizabeth Hardwick and Robert Lowell—whose lives resonate with Melville's. As she pulls these distant figures close, her quarantine quest ultimately becomes a midlife reckoning with her own marriage and ambition. Absorbing, charming, and intimate, Dayswork considers the blurry lines between life and literature, the slippage between what happens and what gets recorded, and the ways we locate ourselves in the lives of others.

LONGLISTED FOR THE 2023 BOOKER PRIZE Set at the beginning of the twentieth century and inspired by historical events, This Other Eden tells the story of Apple Island: an enclave off the coast of the United States where waves of castaways - in flight from society and its judgment - have landed and built a home. Benjamin Honey- American, Bantu, Igbo- born enslaved- freed or fled at fifteen- aspiring orchardist, arrived on the island with his Irish wife, Patience, and discovered they could make a life together there. More than a century later, the Honeys' descendants remain, with an eccentric, diverse band of neighbours. Then comes the intrusion of 'civilization': officials determine to 'cleanse' the island, and a missionary schoolteacher selects one light-skinned boy to save. The rest will succumb to the authorities' institutions or cast themselves on the waters in a new Noah's Ark. Full of lyricism and power, Paul Harding's This Other Eden explores the hopes and dreams and resilience of those seen not to fit a world brutally intolerant of difference. 'Masterful . . .

When she is forced to flee to the non-occupied zone, her medical skills take her to the French camp of Rivesaltes, where she cares for the injured and unwell – until one day her luck runs out. Meanwhile her twin, Adèle, has shed her socialite pretensions, completed her special agent training, and is poised to begin her first mission. Ready to set France ablaze, she parachutes into occupied territory and begins work drilling maquisards in guerrilla warfare, determined to thwart the Nazis at every turn – whatever the cost – and avenge the death of her beloved brother.   Soon both sisters are fighting for their survival – unsure if they’ll live to see each other again. Will the twins’ secret be their undoing?   An epic, awe-inspiring and heartbreaking story of courage against all the odds which will have you on the edge of your seat.

Zwei Schwestern mit unterschiedlichen Lebensentwürfen treffen aufeinander, als die Mutter im Sterben liegt. Im alten Reetdachhaus in der Elbmarsch müssen sich die Hansen-Frauen ihrer Vergangenheit stellen, mit all ihren Geheimnissen und Fragen, und lernen, dass ein Ende immer auch ein Anfang sein kann. Nach langer Zeit treffen die Schwestern Grete und Freya in ihrem Elternhaus wieder aufeinander. Ihre Mutter Wilhelmine hat einen Schwächeanfall erlitten, Freya kommt sofort aus Berlin angereist. Sie will helfen, aber mehr noch ihrem eigenen Leben entfliehen. Ihr Freund hat sie verlassen, und damit die letzte Hoffnung auf die Gründung einer eigenen Familie. Grete ist ebenfalls Single, sie ist ihr Leben lang im kleinen Dorf an der Elbe geblieben, eine frühe Schwangerschaft machte ihre Träume von der weiten Welt zunichte.

Als sich jetzt, kurz vor ihrem fünfzigsten Geburtstag, eine unerwartete Chance zum Ausbrechen bietet, auf die sie schon lange gehofft hat, braucht sie einmal die Unterstützung ihrer Familie mehr denn je. Auch Anne kommt, um der Großmutter nahe zu sein. Das Verhältnis zu ihrer Mutter Grete ist angespannt - sicherlich auch, weil diese nie verraten hat, wer Annes Vater ist.

Als sich jetzt, kurz vor ihrem fünfzigsten Geburtstag, eine unerwartete Chance zum Ausbrechen bietet, auf die sie schon lange gehofft hat, braucht sie einmal die Unterstützung ihrer Familie mehr denn je. Auch Anne kommt, um der Großmutter nahe zu sein. Das Verhältnis zu ihrer Mutter Grete ist angespannt - sicherlich auch, weil diese nie verraten hat, wer Annes Vater ist. Und auch Wilhelmine liegt ein Geheimnis auf den Lippen.]]>185ckkehr,rztefalsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/german-sylter-welle-ungekurzte-autorenlesung-by-max-richard-lessmann--65303204https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/700163 to listen full audiobooks.

Eine schmerzhaft schöne Liebeserklärung an eine vom Aussterben bedrohte Generation: die Großeltern. Jeden Sommer seiner Kindheit und Jugend hat Max mit seinen eigenwilligen Großeltern auf Sylt verbracht. Nicht etwa im noblen Westerland, sondern auf dem Campingplatz. Jetzt fahren Oma Lore und Opa Ludwig noch ein allerletztes Mal auf die Insel und laden ihn ein, sie drei Tage zu besuchen. Und alles ist genau wie immer. Nur eben überhaupt nicht. Die nordische Tieffront Oma Lore, der Pate der Familie, gibt sich gewohnt kühl. Wenn sie ihre Liebe zeigt, dann ausschließlich im exzessiven Mästen ihrer Familienangehörigen. Der liebenswürdige Opa Ludwig nimmt die Sache mit seinem einzigartigen Humor. Doch irgendetwas stimmt nicht mit ihm. Oma Lore will davon natürlich nichts wissen. Doch die Sylter Brise wird auch sie für einen ganz kurzen Moment erweichen. Würden wir unsere Familienangehörigen auch lieben, wären sie nicht mit uns verwandt? Dieser Frage bleibt Max auf der Spur. Und das solange, bis Sylt eines Tages im Meer versinkt.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/700163Fri, 18 Aug 2023 07:10:54 +0000Sadye RobertsPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/700163 to listen full audiobooks.

Forty-nine and sweating through the hottest summer on record, Beatrice Billings is rudderless: her marriage is stale, her son communicates solely through cryptic text messages, her mother has dementia, and she conducts endless arguments with her older sister in her head. Toronto feels like an inadequately air-conditioned museum of its former self, and the same could be said of her life.

Everything changes when she googles 'escape' and discovers the world of amateur lock-picking. Breaking into houses is thrilling: she’s subtle and discreet, never greedy, but as her curiosity about other people’s lives becomes a dangerous compulsion and the entire city feels a few degrees from boiling over, she realizes she must turn her guilty analysis on herself.

Guaranteed to give you all the feels and put a big, fat smile on your face! ❤️ “I was hooked… had me wiping away the tears… you could feel the warmth coming from the pages and I was left with a starshine glow as I read! Wonderful location, lovable characters and a heart-warming read...what more could I ask for!” Reader review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ella Farrell has reached breaking point. Shattered by her job and her boyfriend’s recent betrayal, she grabs her stuff and flees down the coast. When her car breaks down a few miles short of Cornwall, she’s astonished by what she finds. Not on any map, the tiny seaside village of Starshine Cove is too perfect for words. A cobbled lane lined with pretty, thatched cottages slopes towards a pristine white beach… has she finally lost it, or is this place for real? Spotting a little café perched on the edge of the cove, Ella settles into a slice of homemade raspberry cheesecake and finds herself charmed by Connie, the café’s chatty, Dolly Parton-lookalike owner. And, as days unexpectedly turn into weeks, Ella warms to the quirky seaside village and its residents, especially the stunning Jake, landlord of the Starshine Inn. Ella’s heart does a little flip-flop whenever their eyes meet. Jake also came to Starshine Cove by chance – was he running away from something? Just as Ella feels the tension she’s carried for so long starting to ease, the past comes knocking on her rustic, driftwood door. Will Ella find the strength to embrace this place and forge a new path, or is Starshine Cove – and her growing connection with Jake – simply too good a dream to last? From the beloved bestselling author of the Comfort Food Café series, this is a heart-warming tale of second chances, self-discovery, and the extraordinary healing power of a community that finds you when you need it most.

Title: [Spanish] - Las madres (Spanish Edition) Author: Esmeralda Santiago Narrator: Esmeralda Santiago Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 24 minutes Release date: August 1, 2023 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: De la galardonada autora bestseller de Cuando era puertorriqueña, nos llega una poderosa novela sobre la familia, la raza, la fe, el sexo y el desastre que transita entre Puerto Rico y el Bronx, revelando las vidas y los amores de cinco mujeres, y el secreto que las une. Se hacen llamar “Las Madres”, un grupo muy cercano de mujeres que, junto con sus hijas, han creado una familia basada en la amistad y los lazos de sangre. Su historia comienza en Puerto Rico, en 1975, cuando Luz, de quince años, la niña más alta en su academia de baile y la única negra en un mar de cisnes de piel clara, pequeños y delicados, se lastima de gravedad en un accidente de auto. Trágicamente, sus padres, ambos científicos multilingües brillantes, también mueren en el accidente. Huérfana ahora, Luz sortea las presiones de la adolescencia mientras lidia con las secuelas de una lesión cerebral, cuando dos nuevas amigas entran a su vida, Ada y Shirley. Los días de Luz quedan consumidos por dolores y molestias, y su memoria después del accidente queda por completo en blanco, pero sufre episodios que envían su mente a otros lugares y momentos que no puede compartir con nadie más.   En 2017, en el Bronx, la hija adulta de Luz, Marysol, desearía que su madre la comprendiera mejor. Pero, ¿cómo, si Luz apenas recuerda su propia vida? Para ayudar, la hija de Ada y Shirley, Graciela, sugiere que el grupo entero se vaya de vacaciones a Puerto Rico como una oportunidad para que Luz desentierre recuerdos largo tiempo enterrados y Marysol aprenda más sobre los primeros años de su madre. Pero a pesar de toda su cuidadosa planeación, dos huracanes, uno tras otro, alteran su bienvenida y sacan a la luz un secreto que hace estallar sus vidas. En una voz que canta con calidez, humor, amistad y orgullo, la celebrada autora Esmeralda Santiago desarrolla una historia sobre la sexualidad, la vergüenza, la discapacidad y el amor de las mujeres dentro de una comunidad sacudida por el desastre. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION From the award-winning, best-selling author of When I Was Puerto Rican, a powerful novel of family, race, faith, sex, and disaster that moves between Puerto Rico and the Bronx, revealing the lives and loves of five women and the secret that binds them together. In Puerto Rico in 1975, fifteen-year-old Luz is the tallest in her dance academy and the only Black girl in a sea of petite, light-skinned, delicate swans. Tragically, she is seriously injured in a car accident and her brilliant, multilingual scientist parents are both killed in the crash. Now orphaned, Luz navigates the pressures of adolescence and copes with the aftershock of a brain injury, when two new friends enter her life: Ada and Shirley. Luz’s days are consumed with aches and pains, and her memory of the accident is wiped clean, but she suffers spells that send her mind to times and places she can’t share with others. In 2017, the Bronx, Luz’s adult daughter, Marysol, wishes she better understood her. But how can she, when her mother barely remembers her own life? To help, Ada and Shirley’s daughter, Graciela, suggests a vacation in Puerto Rico for the extended group, as an opportunity for Luz to unearth long-buried memories and for Marysol to learn more about her mother’s early life. But despite all their careful planning, two hurricanes, back-to-back, disrupt their homecoming, and a secret is revealed that blows their lives wide open. In a voice that sings with warmth, humor, friendship, and pride, Esmeralda Santiago unspools a story of women’s sexuality, shame, disability, and love within a community rocked by disaster.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/692609Tue, 01 Aug 2023 07:10:54 +0000Sadye RobertsPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/692609 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Darkness Falls: A completely gripping WW2 French Resistance novel about twin sisters Series: #1 of The Resistance Sisters Author: Rachel Wesson Narrator: Harrie Dobby Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 42 minutes Release date: August 1, 2023 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Paris, 1940: As the German soldiers march down the Champs-Élysées, the Bélanger twins know there is no escape – their lives are about to change forever.    But while Sophie, a third-year medical student, works long days and nights saving casualties of war at the American hospital, and waits anxiously for news of her fiancé from the front line, her recently widowed twin, Adèle, is determined to enjoy her freedom. Nothing – not the bombs, the curfews or the Nazi officers sidling up to her in nightclubs – can stop her from indulging in the temptations of Parisian society as she accompanies their father to glamorous parties.  But rumours are flying through the streets of occupied Paris about their father’s murky business interests, and soon Sophie learns the shocking truth of what’s really happening to their Jewish friends and neighbours. And then tragedy strikes: their beloved brother is arrested for his involvement in the resistance. Devastated and unable to save him, the family is torn apart – and the girls’ lives are changed forever. Broken-hearted, the sisters must each find their own way to fight back. As they too are drawn to the resistance, will Sophie learn to break the rules – risking her own life to save as many innocent children as she can? And Adèle faces her toughest challenge yet when she’s recruited as a special agent for the British. Can she overcome her stubborn nature and use her charms to avenge her brother’s death? One false step and the twins could lose everything they’re fighting for – and each other. A heartbreaking page-turner based on real-life events, this is a devastating story of lives torn apart by war – and of finding the courage to do what is right, even at the darkest of times. Fans of Kate Quinn, Shari J. Ryan and Siobhan Curham will be captivated by this unforgettable historical novel.

Title: The Imperfection of Us: A story of beginnings, endings and everything in between Author: Nick Alexander Narrator: Chris Harper, Imogen Church Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 22 minutes Release date: July 21, 2023 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: ‘What if I am meant to be with one person for life?’ I asked. Mum paused thoughtfully before she replied. ‘Then maybe, Dawn, Billy’s not the one. Maybe you need to find yourself someone boring. Not boring… but someone a bit more normal perhaps?’ I was dressed in purple Doc Martens boots, olive-green leggings and a tartan skirt – an outfit I’d chosen so it would appear to have been carelessly thrown together. Billy had on a shiny green US Air Force jumpsuit. He told me it was what he wore every day and grinned broadly as if that was something to be proud of. I fell for him there and then. He was unlike anyone I’d ever met, and that made him kind of hard to resist. Where my friends were all trying to follow the latest trends, Billy just seemed to invent his own. He had star-quality even then. You could tell he’d be something special one day. Perhaps it was just luck that I met Billy that night, though it always felt more important than that – like he was the one person on the planet I needed to find. But then suddenly Billy was gone and into the vacuum stepped Rob. Reliable, dependable Rob. He told me that he loved me – said he was one of the 'good ones.' And maybe Mum was right. Maybe I did need someone a bit boring. Now the years have gone by and here we are, Rob and I, eating pizza and watching Gogglebox. We both laugh at some joke on the telly and when I glance over I get a warm sort of feeling that seems to say, ‘This is all right, isn’t it?’ Is that love? Even now, I’m not sure. But if it isn’t, it’s still pretty nice. My thoughts drift to seventeen-year-old me kissing Billy in his bedroom, a Patti Smith song playing in the background. And I try to remember what we had back then, because it definitely wasn’t ‘nice’. Sexy, exciting… all-consuming, perhaps. What if I could have that again? An emotional, thought-provoking, and refreshingly honest exploration of relationships, The Imperfection of Us will have you turning pages blurred by tears of sadness and laughter, desperate to find out what the future holds for feisty Dawn and sweet, reliable Rob. Oh, and Billy, of course. Let’s not forget Billy. Because Dawn certainly never has. Read what everyone is saying about The Imperfection of Us: ‘This book emotionally wrecked me. I laughed. I cried.

Title: [Spanish] - La extraña desaparición de Esme Lennox Author: Maggie O'Farrell Narrator: Francesca Piñón, Laura Monedero, Mercè Montalà Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 13 minutes Release date: July 20, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Una historia hermosa e inquietante, que aborda sin ambages el peso de las convenciones sociales y la tortuosa complejidad de los lazos familiares. De la autora ganadora del Women's Prize for Fiction 2020 por su novela Hamnet. Ante el inminente cierre del viejo hospital psiquiátrico de Cauldstone, en Edimburgo, las autoridades comunican a Iris que debe hacerse cargo de su tía abuela Esme Lennox, quien será puesta en libertad tras sesenta y un años de internamiento. El desconcierto inicial de la joven, que desconocía la existencia de la anciana, se verá pronto superado por una genuina curiosidad. ¿Qué motivo llevó a la reclusión de Esme cuando tenía solo dieciséis años? ¿Por qué se ocultó su historia al resto de la familia durante décadas? Entre los recuerdos de Esme y los escasos momentos de lucidez de su abuela Kitty, Iris reconstruye la vida de las dos hermanas: la infancia en la India y la primera juventud en Escocia, el rechazo de la joven Esme a las rígidas reglas de la alta burguesía escocesa y, repentinamente, la terrible exclusión. Así, bajo el cúmulo de revelaciones late un misterio cuyo suspense va creciendo a lo largo del relato hasta alcanzar un desenlace tan original como impactante. Maggie O'Farrell es una de las voces más sobresalientes y reconocidas de la narrativa escocesa actual. Con su brillante imaginación y su talento para construir personajes memorables y transmitir emociones, logra mantenernos sin aliento. La crítica ha dicho... «O'Farrell hace gala de un don para narrar que convierte la lectura de sus novelas en un placer enorme.

De la autora ganadora del Women's Prize for Fiction 2020 por su novela Hamnet. Ante el inminente cierre del viejo hospital psiquiátrico de Cauldstone, en Edimburgo, las autoridades comunican a Iris que debe hacerse cargo de su tía abuela Esme Lennox, quien será puesta en libertad tras sesenta y un años de internamiento. El desconcierto inicial de la joven, que desconocía la existencia de la anciana, se verá pronto superado por una genuina curiosidad. ¿Qué motivo llevó a la reclusión de Esme cuando tenía solo dieciséis años? ¿Por qué se ocultó su historia al resto de la familia durante décadas? Entre los recuerdos de Esme y los escasos momentos de lucidez de su abuela Kitty, Iris reconstruye la vida de las dos hermanas: la infancia en la India y la primera juventud en Escocia, el rechazo de la joven Esme a las rígidas reglas de la alta burguesía escocesa y, repentinamente, la terrible exclusión. Así, bajo el cúmulo de revelaciones late un misterio cuyo suspense va creciendo a lo largo del relato hasta alcanzar un desenlace tan original como impactante. Maggie O'Farrell es una de las voces más sobresalientes y reconocidas de la narrativa escocesa actual. Con su brillante imaginación y su talento para construir personajes memorables y transmitir emociones, logra mantenernos sin aliento. La crítica ha dicho... «O'Farrell hace gala de un don para narrar que convierte la lectura de sus novelas en un placer enorme.

Title: The Fancies Author: Kim Lock Narrator: Nicole Gulasekharam Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 39 minutes Release date: April 5, 2023 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Abigail Fancy returns to the tiny town that the Fancys have ruled for decades, fresh from her second stint in prison and utterly out of time... A bold, punchy and wry novel from the author of The Other Side of Beautiful. A story about stories: those we tell, those we believe and those we make into a reality, whether true, murky or not true at all. Port Kingerton: the insular cray-fishing town at the butt-end of South Australia, where everyone knows everyone. And everyone knows too that when Abigail Fancy left town at seventeen, she hung out the window of her boyfriend's Corolla, middle fingers held high, swearing she'd never come back. And she hasn't, until now. At her parents' house Abigail finds a party (read town meeting) in full swing over something iffy found on the beach - a thighbone. And although iffy things aren't uncommon in Port Kingerton, Abigail's surprise arrival forces a family - and an entire town - to unpack a twenty-four-year-old secret that rocked this tiny place to its core: that time they found something much iffier ... Through Abigail, her grandfather Old Dick Fancy's unreliable memories and the collective voices of the town itself, Port Kingerton unravels as old wounds are picked open, skeletons fall from closets and unlikely bonds are forged. But will Abigail finally change the past ...? Fresh, punchy, expertly crafted and deliciously wry - the author of The Other Side of Beautiful returns with a tour de force of a small-town mystery where a homecoming lifts the veil on a time when a town failed to stand up for its girls.

The McKenzie women, empowered with a formidable history rooted in the foothills of Appalachia, have passed down their folk-healing wisdom through generations. Rosalee, the last living headstrong daughter in Granny McKenzie’s line, soaked up everything she could about the secrets of the forest before a series of tragedies left her alone, without the protection of the women who came before her.

Amar can’t wait to tell everyone his wonderful news: he’s found The One, and he’s getting married. But it turns out announcing his engagement on a group chat might not have been the best way to let his strict Muslim Bangladeshi family know that his happy-ever-after partner is a man—and a white man at that.

Amar was sure he knew what love meant, but was he just plain wrong? He’s never thought of his relationship with Joshua as a love story—they just fit together, like two halves of a whole.

Abbie Fox hasn’t seen her father or two younger sisters in almost two years, during which she’s jetted around the world and experienced life, if not love. But now Lily, the baby of the family, is sending Abbie urgent emails begging her to return home to Nantucket. Their middle sister, Emma, has taken to her bed, emotionally devastated after the loss of her high-powered stockbroker’s job and a shockingly unexpected break-up with her fiancé. Also, Lily is deeply worried that Marina, the beautiful, enigmatic woman renting their guesthouse, has set her sights on the sisters’ widowed father, Jim. The Fox girls closed ranks years ago after the haunting, untimely death of their mother, but seeing their dad move on with his life forces each of them to take stock. Over the course of the summer, the sisters’ lives grow as turbulent as the unpredictable currents encircling Nantucket. When Abbie encounters an incredibly appealing married man, she breaks her own rules in the name of love, fearing all the while that she’ll regret it.

Abbie Fox hasn’t seen her father or two younger sisters in almost two years, during which she’s jetted around the world and experienced life, if not love. But now Lily, the baby of the family, is sending Abbie urgent emails begging her to return home to Nantucket. Their middle sister, Emma, has taken to her bed, emotionally devastated after the loss of her high-powered stockbroker’s job and a shockingly unexpected break-up with her fiancé. Also, Lily is deeply worried that Marina, the beautiful, enigmatic woman renting their guesthouse, has set her sights on the sisters’ widowed father, Jim. The Fox girls closed ranks years ago after the haunting, untimely death of their mother, but seeing their dad move on with his life forces each of them to take stock. Over the course of the summer, the sisters’ lives grow as turbulent as the unpredictable currents encircling Nantucket. When Abbie encounters an incredibly appealing married man, she breaks her own rules in the name of love, fearing all the while that she’ll regret it. Meanwhile, type-A Emma learns a new definition of success, and strong-minded Lily must reconcile her dreams with reality. Even Marina, who has come to Nantucket to forget heartbreak and betrayal, faces an astonishing turn of events that will find her torn between fate and freedom.
