Title: Relative Strangers Author: A.H. Kim Narrator: Joy Osmanski Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 10 minutes Release date: April 2, 2024 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: From the acclaimed author of A Good Family comes a timely spin on Sense and Sensibility, a twenty-first-century family drama featuring two half-Korean sisters, their ex-hippie mother, multiple messy love affairs and one explosive secret that could ruin everything. Amelia Bae-Wood’s life is falling apart. Unemployed, newly single and completely broke—for reasons she hasn’t told anyone yet—she finds herself hitchhiking across California to deal with the fallout of her mother’s eviction from the family estate. Amelia needs somewhere to live and time to figure out what to do with the rest of her life, so moving with her mother and sister to Arcadia, the cancer retreat center where her sister volunteers, seems like as good an idea as any. Amelia’s sister, Eleanor, has too much on her plate, including being caught up in a court battle with a man who claims to be their half brother from Seoul and their late father’s only son—a secret love child from his Korean youth—who’s fighting for a piece of everything that belongs to the Bae-Wood women. And when Amelia adds herself to Eleanor’s list of problems, Eleanor must figure out what to hold on to—and when to let go—before things starts to unravel. A witty, wry and enormously entertaining retelling, the sisters’ journey of self-discovery as they reshape their lives gives this classic tale a modern, feminist twist, as it touches on themes of blended families, race, class and wealth.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/622046Tue, 02 Apr 2024 07:11:00 +0000Lilla RitchiePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/622046 to listen full audiobooks.

Talulah Barclay doesn’t like complications. Unfortunately, they seem to love her. Fourteen years after leaving her fiancé at the altar, Talulah returns to her hometown of Coyote Canyon, Montana, to settle her great-aunt’s estate. As she’d feared, her “runaway bride” reputation is waiting right where she left it, and her ex’s best friend, Brant, isn’t about to let her slip by unnoticed. Brant has always been a loyal friend, but Talulah’s decision to run isn’t the only thing he hasn’t forgotten. He remembers more about Talulah than he cares to admit. Vividly. And it’s increasingly difficult to ignore her now, especially when they find themselves in close quarters. Talulah has no plans to stay in town after she fixes up her aunt’s Victorian farmhouse, even if the unbridled sparks with Brant give her a good reason to linger. Besides, bailing on relationships is kind of her thing. But a lot has changed since Talulah last turned tail—maybe her heart has changed, too?

This laugh-out-loud, darkly funny novel follows the Costa family—whose members are every bit as richly absurd as the characters in HBO’s Succession. Salvador, the patriarch, runs one of Wall Street’s biggest banks the summer before everything collapses; Roberto and Rachel, his two children, have never worked a day in their lives; and Lena, his ex-wife, is a scheming hypochondriac. Part travelogue, part epic family drama, the novel follows Roberto and Rachel across Europe as the two dilettantes come to terms with their father’s choices and the repercussions of his actions. Oozing with his signature satire and biting wit, Barnhardt invites listeners on a literary romp from an elegant Paris apartment to a hilariously-inept London hotel, ancient churches and crypts to gleaming Mediterranean coasts, hot dog stands in Providence, Rhode Island to the best places in Manhattan, and terrifying encounters in the Serbian countryside to dangerous liaisons in Moscow, as two grown-up rich kids are forced to come of age at last.

Title: The Peach Seed: A Novel Author: Anita Gail Jones Narrator: Anita Gail Jones Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 28 minutes Release date: August 1, 2023 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: 'Anita Gail Jones's narration transports listeners across centuries and continents as she details the complex history of a Southern Black family.'- AudioFile This program is read by the author, who brings more than twenty-five years of experience as a professional oral-tradition storyteller of global folklore as well as original and personal stories from her southwest Georgia upbringing. Fletcher Dukes and Altovise Benson reunite after decades apart—and a mountain of secrets—in this debut exploring the repercussions of a single choice and how an enduring talisman challenges and holds a family together. On a routine trip to the Piggly Wiggly in Albany, Georgia, widower Fletcher Dukes smells a familiar perfume, then sees a tall woman the color of papershell pecans with a strawberry birthmark on the nape of her neck. He knows immediately that she is his lost love, Altovise Benson. Their bond, built on county fairs, sit-ins, and marches, once seemed a sure and forever thing. But their marriage plans were disrupted when the police turned a peaceful protest violent. Before Altovise fled the South, Fletcher gave her a peach seed monkey with diamond eyes. As we learn via harrowing flashbacks, an enslaved ancestor on the coast of South Carolina carved the first peach seed, a talisman that, ever since, each father has gifted his son on his thirteenth birthday. Giving one to Altovise initiated a break in tradition, irrevocably shaping the lives of generations of Dukeses. Recently, Fletcher has made do on his seven acres with his daughter Florida’s check-ins, his drop biscuits, and his faithful dog. But as he begins to reckon with long-ago choices, he finds he isn’t the only one burdened with unspoken truths. An indelible portrait of a family, The Peach Seed explores how kin pass down legacies of sorrow, joy, and strength. And it is a parable of how a glimmer of hope as small as a seed can ripple across generations.

He got dumped by his pregnant girlfriend, his grandfather just dropped dead, and on the anniversary of the raid that doomed his drug-dealing aunt and uncle, his mother makes her unwanted return, years after she fled to marry another American fool like his father. Misfortune, however, is a Cunha family affair, and no generation is spared. Not Daniel’s grandfather João—poor João—born to a prostitute and forced to raise his siblings while still a child himself. Not João’s wife, Marta, branded as a bruxa, reviled by her mother, and dragged from her Ilha paradise by her scheming daughter, Maria. And certainly not Maria, so envious of her younger sister’s beauty and benevolence that she took her vicious revenge and fled to the States, abandoning her children: Daniel and Lucia, both tainted now by their half-Americanness and their mother’s greedy absence. There’s poison in the Cunha blood. They are a family cursed, condemned to the pain of deprivation, betrayal, violence, and, worst of all, love. But now Maria has returned to grieve her father and finally make peace with Daniel and Lucia, or so she says. As New Year’s Eve nears, the Cunha family hurtles toward an irrevocable breaking point: a fire, a knife, and a death on the sands of Copacabana Beach. Amid the cacophony of Rio’s tumult—rampant poverty, political unrest, the ever-present threat of violence—a fierce chorus of voices rises above the din to ask whether we can ever truly repair the damage we do to those we love in this “fiery debut novel” (The Washington Post).]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/631072Tue, 18 Jul 2023 07:11:00 +0000Lilla RitchiePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/631072 to listen full audiobooks.

Longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2024. A Highly Anticipated Novel of 2023 in The Times, i-D, Esquire and the Guardian. When we look beyond the headlines, everyone has a story to tell It's 1990 in London and Tom Hargreaves has it all: a burgeoning career as a reporter, fierce ambition and a brisk disregard for the 'peasants' - ordinary people, his readers, easy tabloid fodder. His star looks set to rise when he stumbles across a scoop: a dead child on a London estate, grieving parents loved across the neighbourhood, and the finger of suspicion pointing at one reclusive family of Irish immigrants and 'bad apples': the Greens. At their heart sits Carmel: beautiful, otherworldly, broken, and once destined for a future beyond her circumstances until life - and love - got in her way. Crushed by failure and surrounded by disappointment, there's nowhere for her to go and no chance of escape. Now, with the police closing in on a suspect and the tabloids hunting their monster, she must confront the secrets and silences that have trapped her family for so many generations. ©2023 Megan Nolan (P)2023 Penguin Audio]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/624934Thu, 13 Jul 2023 07:11:00 +0000Lilla RitchiePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/624934 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: After the Funeral Author: Tessa Hadley Narrator: Abigail Thaw Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 31 minutes Release date: July 13, 2023 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. From the incomparable Tessa Hadley, a masterful collection of stories that plumb the depths of everyday life to reveal the shifting tides and hidden undercurrents of ordinary relationships In each of the twelve stories in After the Funeral, small events have huge consequences. Heloise's father died in a car crash when she was a little girl; at a dinner party in her forties, she meets someone connected to that long-ago tragedy. Two estranged sisters cross paths at a posh hotel and pretend not to recognize each other. Janie's bohemian mother plans to marry a man close to Janie's own age - everything changes when an accident interrupts the wedding party. A daughter caring for her elderly mother during the pandemic becomes obsessed with the woman next door; in the wake of his best friend's death, a man must reassess his affair with the friend's wife. Teenager Cecilia wakes one morning on vacation with her parents in Florence and sees them for the first time through disenchanted eyes. As psychologically astute as they are emotionally dense, these stories illuminate the enduring conflicts between responsibility and freedom, power and desire, convention and subversion, reality and dreams. A vital addition to Tessa Hadley's celebrated body of work, After the Funeral bears out Claire Messud's observation that 'Like Alice Munro, to whom she has more than once been compared, Hadley has the gift of making small canvases inexhaustibly new....

In the years since she’s last seen Minh, Ann has built a seemingly perfect life—a beautiful lake house, a charming professor boyfriend, and invites to elegant parties that bubble over with champagne and good taste—but it all crumbles with one positive pregnancy test. With both her relationship and carefully planned future now in question, Ann returns home to Florida to face her estranged mother, Huơng. Back in Florida, Huơng is simultaneously mourning her mother and resenting her for having the relationship with Ann that she never did. Then Ann and Huơng learn that Minh has left them both the Banyan House, the crumbling old manor that was Ann’s childhood home, in all its strange, Gothic glory. Under the same roof for the first time in years, mother and daughter must face the simmering questions of their past and their uncertain futures, while trying to rebuild their relationship without the one person who’s always held them together. Running parallel to this is Minh’s story, as she goes from a lovestruck teenager living in the shadow of the Vietnam War to a determined young mother immigrating to America in search of a better life for her children. And when Ann makes a shocking discovery in the Banyan House’s attic, long-buried secrets come to light as it becomes clear how decisions Minh made in her youth affected the rest of her life—and beyond. Spanning decades and continents, from 1960s Vietnam to the wild swamplands of the Florida coast, Banyan Moon is a stunning and deeply moving story of mothers and daughters, the things we inherit, and the lives we choose to make out of that inheritance.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/625246Tue, 27 Jun 2023 07:11:00 +0000Lilla RitchiePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/625246 to listen full audiobooks.

Back in Florida, Huơng is simultaneously mourning her mother and resenting her for having the relationship with Ann that she never did. Then Ann and Huơng learn that Minh has left them both the Banyan House, the crumbling old manor that was Ann’s childhood home, in all its strange, Gothic glory. Under the same roof for the first time in years, mother and daughter must face the simmering questions of their past and their uncertain futures, while trying to rebuild their relationship without the one person who’s always held them together. Running parallel to this is Minh’s story, as she goes from a lovestruck teenager living in the shadow of the Vietnam War to a determined young mother immigrating to America in search of a better life for her children. And when Ann makes a shocking discovery in the Banyan House’s attic, long-buried secrets come to light as it becomes clear how decisions Minh made in her youth affected the rest of her life—and beyond. Spanning decades and continents, from 1960s Vietnam to the wild swamplands of the Florida coast, Banyan Moon is a stunning and deeply moving story of mothers and daughters, the things we inherit, and the lives we choose to make out of that inheritance.]]>305falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/save-what-s-left-a-novel-good-morning-america-book-club-by-elizabeth-castellano--65304265https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/631004 to listen full audiobooks.

Three best friends decide they’re finally done with their ex-husbands taking their work as wives and moms for granted. They’re ready to monetize the mental load, stick it to their exes, and have a wild ride in the process in this novel that is “fresh, funny, empowering, and totally satisfying” (Judy Blume). Lauren, mother of twins, wakes up one morning to her Wife Alarm Bells sounding. She sleuths on her husband’s phone and stumbles on a dirty secret that explodes her marriage. Madeline has it all—a penthouse apartment, a perfect daughter, and no-strings-attached romps with handsome men. But when she learns she might lose her child to her ex in England, it stirs up a decades-old personal tragedy. Sophie, with too much FOMO and never enough money, obsesses over her ex-husband’s Family 2.0—all while keeping her true desires hidden, even from herself. It starts as a joke during a tipsy night out, as Lauren, Madeline, and Sophie rail against everything wives do for free. Let’s build an app that monetizes the mental load. And maybe revenge on our exes in the process. Soon, the Wife App is born, and before long, it’s the fastest growing start-up in New York City. But then life intervenes. Love intervenes. Ex-husbands intervene. And the consequences are bigger than anything Lauren, Madeline, or Sophie could have expected.

Soon, however, the novelist’s own painful experiences of pregnancy and childbirth, as well as her increasing awareness of larger threats from climate change to pandemic, force her to give up on the book and turn instead to writing a contemporary Frankenstein, based on the story of an old friend who mysteriously reappears in her life. In telling a story that ranges from pregnancy to miscarriage to traumatic birth, from motherhood to the frontiers of reproductive science, Louisa Hall draws powerfully from her own experiences, as well as the stories of two other women: Mary Shelley and Anna, a scientist and would-be parent who is contemplating the possibilities, and morality, of genetic modification.

When Selasi and Akorfa were young girls in Ghana, they were more than just cousins; they were inseparable. Selasi was exuberant and funny, Akorfa quiet and studious. They would do anything for each other, imploring their parents to let them be together, sharing their secrets and desires and private jokes. Then Selasi begins to change, becoming hostile and quiet; her grades suffer; she builds a space around herself, shutting Akorfa out. Meanwhile, Akorfa is ac-cepted to an American university with the goal of becoming a doctor.  Although hopeful that America will afford her opportunities not available to her in Ghana, she discovers the insidious ways that racism places obstacles in her path once in Pittsburgh. It takes a crisis to bring the friends back together, with Selasi’s secret revealed and Akorfa forced to reckon with her role in their estrangement. A riveting depiction of class and family in Ghana, a compelling exploration of memory, and an eye-opening story of life as an African-born woman in the US, Nightbloom is above all a gripping and beautifully written novel attesting to the necessity of female bonds in the face of societies that would silence them.

When Rose’s seventeen-year-old daughter, Juliet, attempts suicide, she does everything she can to hold her family together despite the inevitable unraveling that follows. Her husband Syd thinks their daughter is fine, that she’s going through a phase, and tells Rose she’s overreacting—as do the doctors, the school principal, and even Juliet herself. But Rose knows her daughter better than anyone. Doesn’t she?

Prudence Childs was once the most famous kindergartner on the planet. After teaching herself to play piano at age three, she performed at the White House, appeared on talk shows, and inspired a generation to take up lessons. But as adolescence closed in, Prudence realized that she was being exploited and pushed into fame by her cruel grandmother, so she ran away. Broke and alone, she took a job writing commercial jingles, which earned her a fortune but left her creatively adrift. Now forty-eight, with her daughters away at school, Prudence agrees to compete on a wildly popular dueling pianos TV show to reconnect with her inner artist.

In an opulent honeymoon suite in Watch Hill, Rhode Island’s most desirable wedding venue, 29-year-old Callie Holt is spending her wedding night lying in a bathtub shoveling down a pizza; her expensive white dress now splattered with sauce and her groom passed out in the next room. With her seven-hour-old marriage already imploded, Callie turns to the place of record – her phone – sifting through the photographic evidence of the past year to pinpoint where it all went wrong. Could it have started when Callie moved in with her best friend, Virginia Murphy, in the swanky Upper East Side pied-à-terre for which Virginia’s parents foot the bill? Or when Virginia’s irritatingly attractive cousin (and Callie’s secret ex) Ollie returned from pursuing his photography career abroad, throwing a wrench in Callie’s relationship with her kind (if a bit dim) finance bro boyfriend, Whit?

Far from home, Pirbhai commits a brutal act in the name of survival that will haunt him and his family for years to come. So begins Janika Oza’s masterful, richly told epic, where the embers of this desperate act are fanned into flame over four generations, four continents, throughout the twentieth century. Pirbhai’s children are born in Uganda during the waning days of British colonial rule, and as the country moves toward independence, his granddaughters, three sisters, come of age in a divided nation. Latika is an aspiring journalist, who will put everything on the line for what she believes in; Mayuri’s ambitions will take her farther away from home than she ever imagined; and fearless Kiya will have to carry the weight of her family’s silence and secrets. In 1972, the entire family is forced to flee under Idi Amin’s military dictatorship. Pirbhai’s grandchildren are now scattered across the world, struggling to find their way back to each other. One day a letter arrives with news that makes each generation question how far they are willing to go, and who they are willing to defy, to secure their own place in the world.

Longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2024. After years away from her family's homeland, and healing from an affair with an established director, stage actress Sonia Nasir returns to Palestine to visit her older sister Haneen. Though the siblings grew up spending summers at their family home in Haifa, Sonia hasn't been back since the second intifada and the deaths of her grandparents. While Haneen stayed and made a life commuting to Tel Aviv to teach at the university, Sonia remained in London to focus on her burgeoning acting career and now dissolute marriage. On her return, she finds her relationship to Palestine is fragile, both bone-deep and new. Once at Haneen's, Sonia meets the charismatic and candid Mariam, a local director, and finds herself roped into a production of Hamlet in the West Bank. Soon, Sonia is rehearsing Gertude's lines in classical Arabic and spending more time in Ramallah than in Haifa with a dedicated group of men who, in spite of competing egos and priorities, each want to bring Shakespeare to that side of the wall. As opening night draws closer it becomes clear just how many invasive and violent obstacles stand before a troupe of Palestinian actors. Amidst it all, the life Sonia once knew starts to give way to the daunting, exhilarating possibility of finding a new self in her ancestral home. A stunning rendering of present-day Palestine, Enter Ghost is a story of diaspora, displacement, and the connection to be found in family and shared resistance. Timely, thoughtful, and passionate, Isabella Hammad's highly anticipated second novel is an exquisite feat, an unforgettable story of artistry under occupation. ©2023 Isabella Hammad (P)2023 Penguin Audio]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/626924Thu, 06 Apr 2023 07:11:00 +0000Lilla RitchiePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/626924 to listen full audiobooks.

Timely, thoughtful, and passionate, Isabella Hammad's highly anticipated second novel is an exquisite feat, an unforgettable story of artistry under occupation. ©2023 Isabella Hammad (P)2023 Penguin Audio]]>305falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-fancies-by-kim-lock--65304250https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/630069 to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Fancies Author: Kim Lock Narrator: Nicole Gulasekharam Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 39 minutes Release date: April 5, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 1 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.

With a voice that is unabashedly Australian, this is an extraordinary read, filled with irony and dry humour and total lack of pretension.' - Weekend Australian, Noteable Books 'The Fancies is a wonder.

Fresh from Cambridge, he obtains a generous live-in position as tutor for the son of the wealthy Lord Bettencourt. If he can prove his value, he has hopes of being given the patronage of his employer, allowing him to take up a position as vicar. There, he can pursue his intellectual endeavors in peace and relative financial comfort. In her humble but informed opinion, Lady Sarah Danneville is possessed of an even sharper intellect. If anyone should be tutoring her younger brother, it is she, not the reserved, bespectacled gentleman her father has employed to do the job. He is not fit to instruct a Danneville of Bettencourt. But as Sarah works to undermine him, Mr. Donovan shows more pluck than she expects, not to mention that he harbors a secret hobby that would be laughable if it weren’t so dreadfully unsophisticated. If she can use this secret against him, she can finally persuade her father she is more than bait to lure a prosperous match. Now, if only she can avoid being drawn into the dearth of sophistication—and Mr. Donovan’s eyes—herself.

It was a huge hit, and was soon novelised, adapted on stage and dramatised for BBC Radio 4. Collected here are all five radio series, in which we follow the interconnected lives of the residents of adjoining flats in a tenement in Edinburgh's Georgian New Town. There's Pat, a young tenant who arrives at 44 Scotland Street to flat-share with handsome surveyor Bruce (a man with more of an eye for the ladies than for a sound property); Matthew, setting up the Something Special Gallery with little knowledge of art; and child prodigy Bertie Pollock, who wants the life of an ordinary little boy, but instead has psychotherapy, yoga and Italian conversation lessons. And at the local café, owner Big Lou is looking for love - but seems doomed to romantic disappointment... Their chance day-to-day criss-crossings, quirky foibles and comic adventures are all observed by Number 44's longest-term resident, anthropologist Domenica MacDonald, her painter friend Angus Lordie - and Angus' dog, Cyril, the only canine in Scotland with a gold tooth. Full of charm, humour and empathy, these delightful dramas star Carol Ann Crawford and Crawford Logan, with a superb cast including James Mackenzie, Samuel Keefe, Belle Jones and Anita Vettesse. Also included is an edition of Radio 4's Bookclub, in which Alexander McCall Smith talks about his novel 44 Scotland Street with James Naughtie and readers.

A near-fatal car accident. And a snow-capped Martha’s Vineyard Christmas—the kind that can mend any broken family. Andrew Montgomery is the black sheep of the Montgomery family. Seventeen years ago, Andy and his best friend, Kurt, took off for the army and planned to never look back. Once overseas, they realized the depths of their mistake. But once Kurt died in combat, Andy decided to turn his back on his past for good. Years later, Andrew is bound to the US again with an injury. A phone call a few weeks before Christmas changes everything and beckons him home. His father, Trevor Montgomery, has been involved in a horrible car accident. He might not make it. When Andrew returns to the island, he finds himself in the center of so many ghosts. His siblings are all in their late-thirties and forties. Their children have grown up, some of them with children of their own. Andrew has missed so much, and he also realizes just how alone he’s been over the years. They still call him “Andy,” but they no longer see their baby brother—they see an injured vet. And worse than that, Kurt’s sister and Andrew’s high school love, has lived so much of her life alone while raising a child with autism. Just one look in her eyes reminds Andrew of all the passion he once had for her. It isn’t gone. As days pass, Andrew finds himself falling deeper into a world he once abandoned. He realizes just how much his siblings have needed him over the year—especially when it comes to Kelli’s verbally abusive husband and Charlotte’s husband’s death. As they count down the days before Christmas, Andrew falls for the life he once hated. He learns to fight for his family members.

Papa, who isn’t her real father—he disappeared when she was born. Since then, her mother has been forced to walk the streets to provide for herself and her daughter, while Papa robs and murders for the local gang leader, to ensure his access to ganja and alcohol, but also for the sheer pleasure of it. Often finding herself alone within the four walls of a hovel in a Haitian slum with corrugated iron for a roof, the young girl tirelessly tries to compose a letter that will capture what is in her heart and soul. She is consumed with love for a classmate, the daughter of her teacher, and struggles to find words to faithfully express her feelings and her dreams. In a poetic language that encompasses poverty and idealism, she quietly observes the violence, the shortcomings, and the addictions of the adults around her. Her love and passion make her resilient, nurturing her character and helping her to invent a destiny that enables her to escape the fate to which she seemed doomed.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/626365Tue, 21 Feb 2023 07:11:00 +0000Lilla RitchiePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/626365 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: My Nemesis: A Novel Author: Charmaine Craig Narrator: Charmaine Craig Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 23 minutes Release date: February 7, 2023 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: From the acclaimed author of Miss Burma, longlisted for the National Book Award and the Women’s Prize, comes a tense and thought-provoking exploration of an intellectual affair and its reverberations across the lives of two couples. Tessa is a successful white woman writer who develops a friendship, first by correspondence and then in person, with Charlie, a ruggedly handsome philosopher and scholar based in Los Angeles. Sparks fly as they exchange ideas about Camus and masculine desire, and their intellectual connection promises more—but there are obstacles to this burgeoning relationship. While Tessa’s husband, Milton, enjoys Charlie’s company on his visits to the East Coast, Charlie’s mixed-race Asian wife, Wah, is a different case, and she proves to be both adversary and conundrum to Tessa. Wah’s traditional femininity and subservience to her husband strike Tessa as weaknesses, and she scoffs at the sacrifices Wah makes as adoptive mother to a Burmese girl, Htet, once homeless on the streets of Kuala Lumpur. But Wah has a kind of power too, especially over Charlie, and the conflict between the two women leads to Tessa’s martini-fueled declaration that Wah is “an insult to womankind.” As Tessa is forced to deal with the consequences of her outburst and considers how much she is limited by her own perceptions, she wonders if Wah is really as weak as she has seemed, or if she might have a different kind of strength altogether. An exercise in empathy, an exploration of betrayal, and a charged story of the thrill of a shared connection—and the perils of feminine rivalry—My Nemesis is a brilliantly dramatic and captivating story from a hugely talented writer whose portrayals are always gracefully phrased and keenly observed.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/625727Tue, 07 Feb 2023 07:11:00 +0000Lilla RitchiePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/625727 to listen full audiobooks.

At the age of twenty-nine, Hannah Martin still has no idea what she wants to do with her life. She has lived in six different cities and held countless meaningless jobs since graduating college. On the heels of leaving yet another city, Hannah moves back to her hometown of Los Angeles and takes up residence in her best friend Gabby’s guestroom. Shortly after getting back to town, Hannah goes out to a bar one night with Gabby and meets up with her high school boyfriend, Ethan. Just after midnight, Gabby asks Hannah if she’s ready to go. A moment later, Ethan offers to give her a ride later if she wants to stay. Hannah hesitates. What happens if she leaves with Gabby? What happens if she leaves with Ethan? In concurrent storylines, Hannah lives out the effects of each decision. Quickly, these parallel universes develop into radically different stories with large-scale consequences for Hannah, as well as the people around her. As the two alternate realities run their course, Maybe in Another Life raises questions about fate and true love: Is anything meant to be? How much in our life is determined by chance? And perhaps, most compellingly: Is there such a thing as a soul mate? Hannah believes there is.

At the age of twenty-nine, Hannah Martin still has no idea what she wants to do with her life. She has lived in six different cities and held countless meaningless jobs since graduating college. On the heels of leaving yet another city, Hannah moves back to her hometown of Los Angeles and takes up residence in her best friend Gabby’s guestroom. Shortly after getting back to town, Hannah goes out to a bar one night with Gabby and meets up with her high school boyfriend, Ethan. Just after midnight, Gabby asks Hannah if she’s ready to go. A moment later, Ethan offers to give her a ride later if she wants to stay. Hannah hesitates. What happens if she leaves with Gabby? What happens if she leaves with Ethan? In concurrent storylines, Hannah lives out the effects of each decision. Quickly, these parallel universes develop into radically different stories with large-scale consequences for Hannah, as well as the people around her. As the two alternate realities run their course, Maybe in Another Life raises questions about fate and true love: Is anything meant to be? How much in our life is determined by chance? And perhaps, most compellingly: Is there such a thing as a soul mate? Hannah believes there is. And, in both worlds, she believes she’s found him.]]>185falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-last-summer-sister-by-rachel-cullen--65304304https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/629519 to listen full audiobooks.

But when their father's untimely death reveals an earth-shattering secret, everything they thought they knew about their family—and their future—changes overnight. Jen spent her childhood feeling like the ugly duckling, while Lynn longed to be appreciated for something other than her looks. Jen still hasn't forgiven Lynn for fleeing to California to follow her dreams, leaving Jen to tend to their father and the family insurance business. Meanwhile, Lynn is living in exile in Los Angeles, forced to endure the pain of her humiliating divorce in silence because she is too ashamed to reveal her mistakes. As the youngest of the trio, Courtney's life is also turned upside down due to her father's death, only for an entirely different reason; Courtney didn't even know he existed until after he was gone. Now she has to figure out what life looks like with two older sisters who can't stand each other while attempting to piece together her fractured youth.

Brenda has never worked outside the home, and the family’s economic situation quickly declines. Oldest daughter Peggy is certain she’s heading off to a university, until her father offers her a job sorting mail while she attends community college instead.

When Lauren and Ryan’s marriage reaches the breaking point, they come up with an unconventional plan. They decide to take a year off in the hopes of finding a way to fall in love again. One year apart, and only one rule: they cannot contact each other. Aside from that, anything goes. Lauren embarks on a journey of self-discovery, quickly finding that her friends and family have their own ideas about the meaning of marriage. These influences, as well as her own healing process and the challenges of living apart from Ryan, begin to change Lauren’s ideas about monogamy and marriage. She starts to question: When you can have romance without loyalty and commitment without marriage, when love and lust are no longer tied together, what do you value? What are you willing to fight for? This is a love story about what happens when the love fades. It’s about staying in love, seizing love, forsaking love, and committing to love with everything you’ve got.

Title: Dark Across the Bay Author: Ania Ahlborn Narrator: Paul Boehmer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 27 minutes Release date: November 29, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: In the vein of John MacDonald's Cape Fear, Ahlborn takes the classic stalker tale and updates it for the modern era. The house sits stoic and slightly askew off the coast of Raven's Head. Its off-kilter windows are both charming and disorienting, its walls of overstuffed bookshelves both comforting and claustrophobic. When Leo and Lark Parrish arrive at their vacation home with their parents, their mother's idea of a quintessential Maine getaway seems like both a blessing and a curse. Lark—a novice novelist—can't wait to find inspiration at the end of a fog-entombed pier. And while being trapped in a house with no means of escape is the last thing Leo would consider a good time—especially with parents on the precipice of divorce—he can't help but wonder if maybe the change of scenery will help him shake off the chains of sadness brought on by the death of his closest friend. But what starts off as a relatively benign family trip quickly turns menacing. Leo finds himself face-to-face with what feels like his best friend reaching out from beyond the grave, and only hours after they arrive, Lark begins to receive sinister texts. And then they both see it: someone lurking in the shadows of their rental home. Someone who has been expecting them despite the Parrishes being a thousand miles from home.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/626662Tue, 29 Nov 2022 07:11:00 +0000Lilla RitchiePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/626662 to listen full audiobooks.

They're Black, something the man about to show him the house doesn't know. With that, we're introduced to the Arringtons: Phil, Velma, his daughter Livia (from a previous marriage), and his youngest, Madeline, soon to be born. They're cosmopolitan. Sophisticated. They're also troubled, arrogant, and throughout the linked stories, falling apart. We follow the family as Phil begins his private practice, as Velma opens her antiques shop, and as they buy new homes, collect art, go skiing, and have overseas adventures. It seems they've made it in the white world. However, young Maddie, one of the only Black children in town, bears the brunt of the racism and the invisible barriers her family's money, education, and determination can't free her from.

She thought they would stay in touch, but he disappeared without a word. Arianna thought she’d moved on. But when Will shows up at a family dinner with her older—and very protective—brother, she’s angry and confused. How could he possibly forget to mention that he was friends with her brother? No one knows about their shared past, and Arianna wants to keep things that way, no matter how tempting Will is. When he walked away a year ago, Will thought it was for the best. Staying away from Arianna is the smart thing to do, especially with how protective her older brother—his friend and fellow soldier—can be. Time and distance will work wonders when you’re trying to stay away from someone. Now that he’s seen her again, he forgets all about doing the smart thing. He’ll just have to first convince her to let go of her anger and give him another chance. Will isn’t above playing the nostalgia card, and when he challenges Arianna to a sexy game of truth or dare, she can’t resist. Neither one is ready to tell the world what they’re doing, but how long can they possibly keep things a secret when there are Donovans ready to meddle around every corner?]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/621868Thu, 10 Nov 2022 07:11:00 +0000Lilla RitchiePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/621868 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Flight: 'Emotionally transcendent' – Boston Globe Author: Lynn Steger Strong Narrator: Andi Arndt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 21 minutes Release date: November 10, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: 'Suspenseful, dazzling and moving' Rumaan Alam 'Arresting and powerful' Lily King 'Breathtakingly propulsive and insightful' Leslie Jamison It’s 22 December and Henry, Kate and Martin are gathering with their partners and children at Henry and Alice’s house in upstate New York. It's the first Christmas since their mother passed and without her ever-present advice and gentle nudges to connect with each other when they need it most, the siblings have grown distant. Their differences are all too apparent, from the lives they have forged for themselves to what they each want to do with their sole inheritance: their mother’s house. As they try and fail and try again to create new picture-perfect memories, tensions and old resentments rise, but they are forced to unite when a local family calls for help. Compassionate and wise, Flight explores the meaning of family and home, and the gift of being together. Praise for Lynn Steger Strong ‘Furious, aching and razor sharp’ Emma Cline ‘A deeply intelligent and sneakily moving novel about having the ground fall away beneath your feet. Strong ingeniously undercuts conventional wisdom about what it means to be a success in this world’ Jenny Offill ‘A defining novel of our age of left-behind families... as if Anne Helen Peterson's viral burnout article and John Steinbeck's oeuvre had a baby’ Vulture ‘Elizabeth's anxious, raw voice ties these threads together, coalescing into a story about the price women pay for craving what's just out of reach’ Time magazine ‘Through Elizabeth's experiences and in her propulsive voice, the novel explores race, class, privilege, coincidence, family, friendship and love’ Guardian ‘A smart, sharp novel’ Elle ‘Strong strips away at the imbalance of advantages that ultimately injure us all and the collisions that never cease. Yet, in this stunning novel, she never loses sight of the irrepressible desire to love, connect and forgive one another’ Observer]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/624673Thu, 10 Nov 2022 07:11:00 +0000Lilla RitchiePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/624673 to listen full audiobooks.

Their differences are all too apparent, from the lives they have forged for themselves to what they each want to do with their sole inheritance: their mother’s house. As they try and fail and try again to create new picture-perfect memories, tensions and old resentments rise, but they are forced to unite when a local family calls for help. Compassionate and wise, Flight explores the meaning of family and home, and the gift of being together. Praise for Lynn Steger Strong ‘Furious, aching and razor sharp’ Emma Cline ‘A deeply intelligent and sneakily moving novel about having the ground fall away beneath your feet. Strong ingeniously undercuts conventional wisdom about what it means to be a success in this world’ Jenny Offill ‘A defining novel of our age of left-behind families... as if Anne Helen Peterson's viral burnout article and John Steinbeck's oeuvre had a baby’ Vulture ‘Elizabeth's anxious, raw voice ties these threads together, coalescing into a story about the price women pay for craving what's just out of reach’ Time magazine ‘Through Elizabeth's experiences and in her propulsive voice, the novel explores race, class, privilege, coincidence, family, friendship and love’ Guardian ‘A smart, sharp novel’ Elle ‘Strong strips away at the imbalance of advantages that ultimately injure us all and the collisions that never cease. Yet, in this stunning novel, she never loses sight of the irrepressible desire to love, connect and forgive one another’ Observer]]>185falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/far-from-home-by-sheila-newberry--65304220https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/632354 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Botánica sentimental Author: Mercedes Araujo Narrator: Victoria Espínola Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 28 minutes Release date: October 31, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: ***Elegido entre los mejores libros del año 2022 por Infobae*** En zona de terremotos Mercedes Araujo construye esta historia de dos siglos con gestos, rutinas y dichos. El cruce de los Andes en un pequeño avión de tela, un caballo que se desboca o un estudio de cine en pleno desierto: todo tiene el mandato efímero de la inminente destrucción y la eternidad de la belleza. Antonia conduce de regreso a La Silenciada, la casona familiar abandonada entre viñedos. Los caracoles de la ruta dibujan las vueltas de su propio pensamiento ensimismado por un amor quebrado que la tiene sin rumbo. La vieja finca es, a la vez, punto de llegada y de partida. Allí resuenan los ecos del léxico de una familia que hunde sus orígenes en una tierra que cada tanto se sacude por el latido arrebatado del planeta y desde donde puede verse un cielo con millones de estrellas. Sobre Botánica sentimental la crítica dijo... «Cautivante y poética». Gustavo Álvarez Núñez, La Agenda «Mendoza estaba necesitando, desde hace largo tiempo, un nuevo relato que le pintara el alma con tonalidades contemporáneas; que volviera a dibujarle el mapa de sus cicatrices en la tierra. Ya ido el inigualable Antonio Di Benedetto, el espacio vacío empezaba a volverse grande, a incomodar. Hasta que Mercedes Araujo llegó, en puntas de pie y casi sin anunciarse, con su Botánica sentimental, con suficiente bagaje como para saldar la deuda». Andrés Gabrielli, Diario Uno «A la tristeza del duelo, se le contrapone un lenguaje celebratorio, vital, lleno de imágenes con el que se va a narrar parte de la historia de Mendoza y de esa familia. [...] Se trata de una escritura de gran sensualidad, una novela que se disfruta con asombro, maravilla y también algo de miedo: la tierra es traicionera y debajo de los cimientos de cada casa, está la amenaza del terremoto». Carolina Esses, La Nación «En Botánica sentimental los personajes, por sobre todo las madres, hijas y nietas, se aman con profundidad y leve distancia a la vez. [...] Palabras que se deslizan con precisión blanda, sonora y justa. De eso se tratan estos libros; algo así como el punto exacto del abrazo». Diana Fernández Irusta, La Nación «Por un lado cimentada en la preciosista estructura argumental que liga personajes e historias [...] y, por el otro, en la voz particularísima [...], esta botánica se instala como un sistema de vinculaciones intergeneracionales, afectivas, territoriales, poéticas». Paula Jiménez España, Página 12 «Un libro deslumbrante, lleno de la oscuridad sensible de quien sabe mirar, lleno de la picardía de quien puede asomarse a las vidas de los demás […] un libro que usa la lengua como una geografía de plano y de relieve, la explora con el afán historiográfico, dar cuenta de los temblores y las rajaduras familiares; la busca como al agua en ese desierto, como a la sed». Julián López, Latfem «Un libro sobre las naturalezas del amor, los viajes, los reencuentros. El lenguaje como un ser que late: un corazón que va al compás de la vida y del divino tiempo. Muy precioso». Katya Adaui «Con una prosa iluminada, personalísima, Botánica sentimental evoca y recompone una vasta conversación entre generaciones de mujeres. Pronuncian frases delicadamente sabias como al pasar, en escenas tiernas e inolvidables sembradas con radical libertad y exquisita agudeza, en un universo tan íntimo como vibrante». Magalí Etchebarne «En esta bella novela de Mercedes Araujo, las mujeres avanzan hacia el proscenio; los hombres, en general, se mueren antes o fuera de escena y sus retratos -afectuosos o irónicos- se pintan con una paleta más tenue que los de las errabundas, jardineras, esclavas o viñateras cuyo linaje se teje a través de casi dos siglos. Con el cuidado de un copista inclinado sobre una inicial fantástica, Araujo delinea historias de antiguas y contemporáneas, unidas en torno a ese fuero de atracción que es la casa solariega.» Laura Chalar, El País, Uruguay «La de Araujo es una escritura enraizada en una geografía. Los valles que construye son atravesados por un ramalazo de escritura que los interrumpe. La fuerza natural aparece, no de forma inesperada para quienes conocen esas geografías, sino como la inevitable resolución de un conjunto de fuerzas que estaban en tensión. Nunca como sentencia final, nunca una última palabra. Una escritura libre que aporta asperezas.» Horacio Maez, El Diletante]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/633638Mon, 31 Oct 2022 07:11:00 +0000Lilla RitchiePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/633638 to listen full audiobooks.

A controversial photo of her as a pre-teen has been found in the possession of a wealthy investor recently revealed as a pedophile and a sex trafficker—with an inscription to him from Ryan's mother on the back.

Álex Vicente, Babelia «Parece que un suicidio en la familia constata lo que siempre se sospecha, que la locura corre en los genes, que estamos bíblicamente perdidas».

Cuatro mujeres jóvenes y un legado común por descifrar: ¿una casa o una maldición que corre en los genes? Reseñas: «Una gran narradora que además es una gran pensadora». Javier Rodríguez Marcos, El País «Funciona como un inventario de males contemporáneos y es otra nueva demostración de que, generalmente, una misma época genera reacciones similares en artistas diferentes». Enrique Rey Vázquez, El Mundo (La Lectura) «[Un] cruce fronteras entre la realidad y la locura y lo fantasmal. En ese lugar es difícil no pensar en Henry James, en Shirley Jackson».

[...] Exhala páginas repletas de vida, de interrogantes, de tanteos, lejos de convencionalismos y muy cerca de la realidad». Mey Zamora, La Vanguardia «Una novela intensa, dramática, con pocas concesiones, que bucea en el sentido de culpa y en la inadaptación, en la diferencia entre los sueños y la realidad.

Más allá de la magnífica escritura, de la que ya había dado pruebas sobradas antes, algo llama la atención en esta novela: la madurez de Aixa de la Cruz». César Coca, El Correo «De la Cruz es punzante en sus argumentos, lúcida a la hora de analizar las estructuras sociales y frustrantemente realista.

Willow was devastated. Her eccentric mother believed in this new life and set about starting a winery and goat ranch. But for Willow, it meant initially being bullied and feeling like an outsider. Today, as a grown woman, Willow much prefers Los Angeles and her job as a studio musician. But things tend to happen in threes: her mother dies, her boyfriend dumps her, and Willow discovers she is pregnant.The DeVine Winery and Goat Ranch is all she has left, even if it is in financial straits and unmanageable back taxes.

Willow was devastated. Her eccentric mother believed in this new life and set about starting a winery and goat ranch. But for Willow, it meant initially being bullied and feeling like an outsider. Today, as a grown woman, Willow much prefers Los Angeles and her job as a studio musician. But things tend to happen in threes: her mother dies, her boyfriend dumps her, and Willow discovers she is pregnant.The DeVine Winery and Goat Ranch is all she has left, even if it is in financial straits and unmanageable back taxes. There is something, though, about the call of “home.” She's surprised to find that her Apache best friend Darrel along with the rest of the community seems to think she belongs far more than she ever thought she did.

Title: The Hidden History Of Mark Twain Author: Susy Clemens Narrator: The Cliff, Cyril Taylor-Carr Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 36 minutes Release date: September 29, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Samuel Langhorne Clemens known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher, and lecturer. He was lauded as the 'greatest humorist the United States has produced,'[and William Faulkner called him 'the father of American literature' His novels include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), the latter often called 'The Great American Novel'. Twain was raised in Hannibal, Missouri, which later provided the setting for Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. He served an apprenticeship with a printer and then worked as a typesetter, contributing articles to the newspaper of his older brother Orion Clemens. He later became a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River before heading west to join Orion in Nevada. He referred humorously to his lack of success at mining, turning to journalism for the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise. His humorous story, 'The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County', was published in 1865, based on a story that he heard at Angels Hotel in Angels Camp, California, where he had spent some time as a miner. The short story brought international attention and was even translated into French. His wit and satire, in prose and in speech, earned praise from critics and peers, and he was a friend to presidents, artists, industrialists, and European royalty. Twain earned a great deal of money from his writings and lectures, but he invested in ventures that lost most of it—such as the Paige Compositor, a mechanical typesetter that failed because of its complexity and imprecision. He filed for bankruptcy in the wake of these financial setbacks, but in time overcame his financial troubles with the help of Henry Huttleston Rogers. He eventually paid all his creditors in full, even though his bankruptcy relieved him of having to do so.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/629750Thu, 29 Sep 2022 07:11:00 +0000Lilla RitchiePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/629750 to listen full audiobooks.

(Book Fanatic) Recovering from a pulled groin muscle isn’t exactly how I planned to spend my much-needed summer vacation. But being nursed back to health by my gorgeous friend, Bailey, who’s just graduated from medical school, doesn’t exactly sound like a hardship. We spend a week together at my family’s beach house, a week of swimming and barbecues, a week of entertaining my little cousins and sleeping right across the hall from each other. A week of watching Bailey grow closer with my mom and sisters, and my wacky but lovable grandma. A week of enjoying Bailey tending to me - which is saying something, because it involves a lot of shoving ice packs into my underwear and taping up sore muscles. She’s funny and kind, and after just being myself for the first time in a long time, I find my walls come tumbling down. But when Bailey says she’s not looking for a relationship, I’m bound and determined to be more than just the fun hookup who sprained his groin a second time - this time with her. Your favorite hot jocks are back with an all-new stand-alone novel. If you like sexy, confident men who know how to handle a stick (on and off the ice), and smart women who are strong enough to keep all those big egos in check, this series is for you!

Title: [German] - Die Kinder hören Pink Floyd - Roman (Ungekürzte Lesung) Author: Alexander Gorkow Narrator: Julian Mehne Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 33 minutes Release date: September 9, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Alexander Gorkows autobiografischer Roman ist ein Wunderwerk der Poesie, das glänzende Portrait einer versunkenen Zeit, zugleich eine Hommage auf unsere Kindheit und die rätselhafte Kraft der Musik in einer Welt voller Risse - zwischen Gesunden und Kranken, Behinderten und angeblich Normalen, zwischen Armen und Reichen, zwischen Ordnung und Chaos. Die 70er Jahre. Eine Vorstadt. Das Westdeutschland der letzten Baulücken, der verstockten Altnazis, der 'ZDF Hitparade'. Das kleine Land weist gepflegte Gärten auf, die Kriegsgräuel sind beiseite geschoben, zum Essen geht es in den Balkan Grill, die Einbauküche daheim überzeugt durch optimale Raumnutzung. Für den 10-jährigen Jungen aber ist es eine Welt der Magie, der geheimen Kräfte, des Kampfs des Bösen gegen das Gute. Neben brutalen Mitschülern, prügelnden Pfarrern und zynischen Ärzten leben in seiner Phantasie überall weitere Monster: der furchterregende Sänger Heino, ein Mann namens Barzel in einer rätselhaften Stadt namens Bonn sowie die Wiedergänger der Templer aus 'Die Nacht der reitenden Leichen' im Dorfkino. Der gute Leitstern aber ist die umwerfende große Schwester - das Kind Nr. 1 der Familie. Sie ist herzkrank und sehr lebenshungrig. Mit trockenem Humor und großer Aufsässigkeit stemmt sie sich gegen alle Bedrohungen, nicht zuletzt mithilfe der vergötterten Band Pink Floyd aus dem fernen London, den Kämpfern gegen das Establishment, deren Songs alles zum Glänzen bringen. Unter Anleitung von Pink Floyd zieht die Schwester mit ihrem kleinen Bruder in den Kampf, um das Böse zu bannen, sein Stottern, seine Ängste.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/631430Fri, 09 Sep 2022 07:11:00 +0000Lilla RitchiePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/631430 to listen full audiobooks.

When Stacey “Shakespeare” Williams returns to his family’s farm to bury his dead cat, he finds his prematurely-senile father living in squalor. There’s no money, the land is fallow, and what the hell happened to the old man’s beloved Cessna airplane? With no job and no prospects, Shakespeare becomes caretaker to his father and the farm. Drawn by desperation to reunite with a misfit crew of old classmates—losers, same as he—and motivated by boredom as much as by revenge, Shakespeare hatches a half-serious plot to rob the town bank. What ensues is all kinds of funny: peculiar, ha-ha, & why-am-I-crying? WARNING! THIS NOVEL CONTAINS IRREVERENT DEPICTIONS OF: rural Americanism, death (primarily that of small mammals), early-onset dementia, and eating disorders.

Title: To The Lighthouse Author: Virginia Woolf Narrator: The Cliff, Cyril Taylor-Carr Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 59 minutes Release date: August 19, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: The Ramsey family, with house guests, visit the Isle of Skye at least twice. The plot is not at all the point though, as this is a book about how people think and feel and relate. There’s insight into the world of childhood thought and emotion, and a variety of views of adult care and perceptions. I hope this doesn’t make it sound ‘difficult’, it doesn’t need to be – just let the sentences flow and make your own sense of the words. It’s perhaps as close as a novel can come to the highly individual experience of looking at a painting. Virginia Woolf was an English writer, considered one of the most important modernist 20th-century authors and a pioneer in using stream of consciousness as a narrative device. Woolf was born into an affluent household in South Kensington, London, the seventh child of Julia Prinsep Jackson and Leslie Stephen in a blended family of eight which included the modernist painter Vanessa Bell. She was home-schooled in English classics and Victorian literature from a young age. From 1897 to 1901, she attended the Ladies' Department of King's College London, where she studied classics and history and came into contact with early reformers of women's higher education and the women's rights movement. Encouraged by her father, Woolf began writing professionally in 1900. After her father's death in 1904, the Stephen family moved from Kensington to the more bohemian Bloomsbury, where, in conjunction with the brothers' intellectual friends, they formed the artistic and literary Bloomsbury Group. In 1912, she married Leonard Woolf, and in 1917, the couple founded the Hogarth Press, which published much of her work.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/620128Fri, 19 Aug 2022 07:11:00 +0000Lilla RitchiePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/620128 to listen full audiobooks.

After nearly two hundred years of housing retardants, as they were once known, the Beechwood Institute is closing the doors on its dark history, and the complicated task of reassigning residents has begun. Ella Jules, having arrived at Beechwood at the tender age of eight, must now rely on the state to decide her future. Ella’s aging parents have requested that she be returned to her childhood home, much to the distress of Ella’s siblings, but more so to Lynetta, her beloved caretaker who has been by her side for decades. The five adult Jules children, haunted by their early memories of their sister, and each dealing with the trauma of her banishment in their own flawed way, are converging on the family home, arriving from the far corners of the country—secrets in tow—to talk some sense into their aging parents and get to the root of this inexplicable change of heart. The Precious Jules examines the thin line between selfishness and what passes for love. This family story asks what is best for one child in light of what is perceived as the greater good, and just what is the collective legacy of buried family secrets, shame, and helplessness.

Title: Unmentionables Author: Laurie Loewenstein Narrator: Kelli Tager Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 12 minutes Release date: June 28, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Marian Elliot Adams, an outspoken advocate for sensible undergarments for women, sweeps onto the Chautauqua stage under a brown canvas tent on a sweltering August night in 1917, and shocks the gathered town of Emporia with her speech: How can women compete with men in the work place and in life if they are confined by their undergarments? The crowd is further appalled when Marian falls off the stage and sprains her ankle, and is forced to remain among them for a week. As the week passes, she throws everything into turmoil. The recently widowed newspaper editor Deuce Garland, his lapels glittering with fraternal pins, has always been a community booster, his desire to conform rooted in a legacy of shame—his great-grandfather married a Black woman, and the town will never let Deuce forget it, especially not his father-in-law, the owner of the newspaper and Deuce’s boss. But Marian’s arrival shatters Deuce’s notions of what is acceptable versus what is right, and Deuce falls madly in love with the tall activist from New York. During her stay in Emporia, Marian pushes Deuce to become a greater, braver, and more dynamic man than he ever imagined was possible. Marian is a powerful catalyst that forces nineteenth-century Emporia into the twentieth century; but while she agitates for enlightenment and justice, she has little time to consider her own motives and her extreme loneliness. Marian, in the end, must decide if she has the courage to face small-town life and be known, or will continue to be a stranger always passing through.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/627191Tue, 28 Jun 2022 07:11:00 +0000Lilla RitchiePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/627191 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Legend of Fire Mountain Series: #3 of The Fire Blossom Saga Author: Sarah Lark Narrator: Anthea Greco Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 22 hours 56 minutes Release date: October 19, 2021 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Bold new paths in life and love are forged in nineteenth-century New Zealand in the stirring final chapter of bestselling author Sarah Lark’s multigenerational Fire Blossom Saga. It’s 1880 in the North Island town of Otaki, where Aroha lives contentedly with her mother, Linda—until a fateful tragedy leaves Aroha traumatized and plagued by a cursed guilt. For the long recovery ahead, Aroha is sent to Rata Station, a thriving sheep farm that Aroha’s mother and grandmother once called home. Linda knows it’s the perfect place for her daughter to heal, find hope, and start a life she can call her own. On South Island, Aroha soon develops a bond with her relatives, who are looking toward the future, too. Aroha’s cousin March is a vivacious, business-minded beauty who wants to take advantage of New Zealand’s burgeoning industrial age. Robin is a delicate young man and an aspiring actor as fearful of his father’s disapproval as he is desperate to run from it.

Title: The Forsyte Saga Series: #13 of The Forsyte Saga Author: John Galsworthy Narrator: Fred Williams Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 42 hours 40 minutes Release date: January 1, 2006 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: The Forsyte Saga chronicles the ebbing social power of the upper-middle-class Forsyte family through three generations, beginning in Victorian London during the 1880s and ending in the early 1920s. The saga begins with Soames Forsyte, a successful solicitor who buys land at Robin Hill on which to build a house for his wife, Irene, and future family.

Title: The Sharing Knife, Vol. 2: Legacy Series: #2 of The Sharing Knife Series Author: Lois Mcmaster Bujold Narrator: Bernadette Dunne Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 57 minutes Release date: January 1, 2006 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Fawn Bluefield, the clever young farmer girl, and Dag Redwing Hickory, the seasoned Lakewalker soldier-sorcerer, have been married all of two hours when they depart her family’s farm for Dag’s home at Hickory Lake Camp. Having gained a hesitant acceptance from Fawn’s family for their unlikely marriage, the couple hopes to find a similar reception among Dag’s Lakewalker kin. But their arrival is met with prejudice and suspicion, setting many in the camp against them, including Dag’s own mother and brother. A faction of Hickory Lake Camp, denying the literal bond between Dag and Fawn, woven in blood in the magical way of the Lakewalkers, even goes so far as to threaten permanent exile for Dag. Before their fate as a couple is decided, however, Dag is called away by an unexpected—and viciously magical—malice attack on a neighboring hinterland, threatening Lakewalkers and farmers both. What his patrol discovers there will not only change Dag and his new bride, but will call into question the uneasy relationship between their peoples—and may even offer a glimmer of hope for a less divided future. Filled with heroic deeds, wondrous magic, and rich, all-too-human characters, The Sharing Knife: Legacy is at once a gripping adventure and a poignant romance from one of the most imaginative and thoughtful writers in fantasy today.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/623995Sun, 01 Jan 2006 07:11:00 +0000Lilla RitchiePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/623995 to listen full audiobooks.
