Woke up an hour later, the witch trials book I’m reading stuck to one side of my face. Pretending not to be menopausal is exhausting. When fifty-year-old Agatha Doyle starts keeping a diary, it records only the ways she doesn’t know who she is any more. Her glorious empty nest is full of people. And her head is full of brain fog. All it takes to tip her over the edge is a pair of red velvet heels and a man who won’t stop talking. Standing up for herself, Agatha unwittingly becomes a heroine for midlife women everywhere. But with a distant husband, and an even more distant sex life, can she also become the heroine of her own life?

Woke up an hour later, the witch trials book I’m reading stuck to one side of my face. Pretending not to be menopausal is exhausting. When fifty-year-old Agatha Doyle starts keeping a diary, it records only the ways she doesn’t know who she is any more. Her glorious empty nest is full of people. And her head is full of brain fog. All it takes to tip her over the edge is a pair of red velvet heels and a man who won’t stop talking. Standing up for herself, Agatha unwittingly becomes a heroine for midlife women everywhere. But with a distant husband, and an even more distant sex life, can she also become the heroine of her own life? Readers LOVE Queen Bee! ‘I haven’t laughed this hard in years!’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Agatha became my hero’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘A complete hoot’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Agatha Doyle is the poster girl for a new generation’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ‘Laugh-out-loud funny with a spikily endearing heroine who runs full tilt at the menopause with a baseball bat in her hands . . .

Told entirely through the transcripts of Alicia’s psychiatric sessions, Stella Maris is a searching, rigorous, intellectually challenging coda to The Passenger, a philosophical inquiry that questions our notions of God, truth, and existence.]]>605cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-seamstress-of-sardinia-a-novel-by-bianca-pitzorno--65304950https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/576283 to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Seamstress of Sardinia: A Novel Author: Bianca Pitzorno Narrator: Carlotta Brentan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 5 minutes Release date: December 6, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: A bestselling Italian writer makes her American debut with this delightful dramedy of manners, family, romance, and fashion that is set on the island of Sardinia at the end of the nineteenth century—a dazzling and original literary blend of Jane Austen and Adriana Trigiani. In 1900 Sardinia, a young woman’s remarkable talent with a needle earns her a position as a seamstress with a wealthy family. Inside this privileged world far different from her own humble beginnings, the skilled sewer quietly takes measurements, sketches designs, mends hems—and in the silence, hears whispered secrets and stories of all those around her. Through the watchful young seamstress’s eyes, this small Italian city and its residents emerge in all their vitality, vanity, and fragility—flawed yet congenial people who are not quite what they pretend to be. There is the Marchesa Esther, who rides horses and studies mechanics and ancient Greek; Miss Lily Rose, a spirited American journalist who commissions a special corset—with pockets to hide more than just her flaws; the Provera sisters with their expensive Parisian fashions that belie their financial hardships; and Assuntina, the wild child. There are men, young, old, and in between; love affairs and broken hearts; and even a murder (or was it suicide?). And at the center, watching and waiting is the seamstress herself, an intelligent, ambitious girl with a tender heart and her own impossible dream. An irresistible literary confection rich in atmosphere and period detail and packed with compelling characters. The Seamstress of Sardinia transports us to a long-ago world not so removed from our own—to a society rigidly divided by wealth and shaped by passion, hope, ambition, and love—the elemental forces that drive human lives.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/576283Tue, 06 Dec 2022 07:11:04 +0000Hettie SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/576283 to listen full audiobooks.

Set in a close-knit suburb in the grip of winter, A Quiet Life follows three people grappling with loss and finding a tender wisdom in their grief. Chuck Ayers used to look forward to nothing so much as his annual trip to Hilton Head with his wife, Cat—that yearly taste of relaxation they’d become accustomed to after a lifetime of working and raising two children. Now, just months after Cat’s death, Chuck finds that he can’t let go of her belongings—her favorite towel, the sketchbooks in her desk drawer—as he struggles to pack for a trip he can’t imagine taking without her. Ella Burke delivers morning newspapers and works at a bridal shop to fill her days while she anxiously awaits news—any piece of information—about her missing daughter. Ella adjusts to life in a new apartment and answers every call on her phone, hoping her daughter will reach out. After the sudden death of her father, Kirsten Bonato set aside her veterinary school aspirations, finding comfort in the steady routine of working at an animal shelter. But as time passes, old dreams and new romantic interests begin to surface—and Kirsten finds herself at another crossroads. In this beautiful and profoundly moving novel, three parallel narratives converge in poignant and unexpected ways, as each character bravely presses onward, trying to recover something they have lost. Emotionally riveting and infused with hope, “the soothing tone and warm worldview of this grown-up bedtime story will be good for what ails you” (Kirkus Reviews).]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/576076Tue, 29 Nov 2022 07:11:04 +0000Hettie SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/576076 to listen full audiobooks.

[the author is] masterful in building suspense.”—Kirkus Reviews Set in 1920s New York, an addictively readable, thoroughly entertaining historical novel involving sex and secrets, race and redemption, and power and privilege—based on a sensational real-life case that made international headlines—in which the marriage between a working-class black woman and the scion of one of America’s most powerful white families ends in a scandalous annulment lawsuit. When Alice Jones, a blue-collar woman with at least one Black parent marries Leonard “Kip” Rhinelander, the son of one of New York’s most prominent society families, the scandal rocks high society—and eventually sets the city afire when Kip later sues for an annulment, accusing Alice of having hidden her “Negro blood” and intentionally deceiving him that she was white. While New York society in the Roaring Twenties witnessed more than a few scandals, the real-life Rhinelander case set tongues wagging and became perhaps the most examined interracial relationship in American history. In Defending Alice, Richard Stratton reimagines this remarkable story, from the couple’s courtship through their controversial marriage to their shocking divorce trial and its aftermath. Chronicled by Alice’s attorney, brilliant trial lawyer Lee Parsons Davis, and told in flashbacks and entries from Alice and Kip’s fictional personal diaries, this epic page-turner vividly brings to life the New York of a century ago—a world seemingly far removed yet tragically familiar to our own. Stratton brilliantly evokes this dazzling era in all its glamour and excess, and in retelling the Rhinelander story, explores issues of sex, race, class, prejudice, and justice that are as relevant today as they were a century ago when this headline-making trial took place.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/576277Tue, 22 Nov 2022 07:11:04 +0000Hettie SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/576277 to listen full audiobooks.

It’s 1967, and for young Richard it’s a time of heartbreak and turmoil. Over the span of a few months, his brother, Mark, is killed in Vietnam; his father loses his job and moves the family from California to his grandmother’s abandoned home in Utah; and his parents make the painful decision to separate. With uncertainty rattling every corner of his life, Richard does his best to remain strong—but when he’s run down by bullies at his new school, he meets Mr. Foster, an elderly neighbor who chases off the bullies and invites Richard in for a cup of cocoa. Richard becomes fast friends with the wise, solitary man who inspires Richard’s love for books and whose dog, Gollum, becomes his closest companion. As the holidays approach, the joy and light of Christmas seem unlikely to permeate the Evans home as things take a grim turn for the worse. And just when it seems like he has nothing left to lose, Richard is confronted by a startling revelation. But with Mr. Foster’s wisdom and kindness, he learns for the first time what truly matters about the spirit of the season: that forgiveness can heal even the deepest wounds, and love endures long after the pain of loss subsides. In A Christmas Memory, Richard Paul Evans (#1 New York Times bestselling author and the “King of Christmas fiction”) delves deep into his childhood memories to take readers back to an age when his world felt like it was falling apart, reminding us that even in the darkest of times, the light of hope can still shine.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/577476Tue, 22 Nov 2022 07:11:04 +0000Hettie SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/577476 to listen full audiobooks.

It is about art, life, death, love, and family and it is beautifully and sharply written. I cried several times while reading it, and was sorry to let it go when I was done. I cannot recommend it enough.” —Jami Attenberg,  New York Times bestselling author of The Middlesteins and All This Could Be Yours Throughout her childhood, Carlisle Martin got to see her father, Robert, for only a few precious weeks a year when she visited the brownstone apartment in Greenwich Village he shared with his partner, James. Brilliant but troubled, James gave Carlisle an education in all that he held dear in life—literature, music, and, most of all, dance. Seduced by the heady pull of mentorship and hoping to follow in the footsteps of her mother—a former Balanchine ballerina—Carlisle’s aspiration to become a professional ballet dancer bloomed. But above all else, she longed to be asked to stay at the house on Bank Street, to be a part of Robert and James’s sophisticated world, even as the AIDS crisis brings devastation to their community. Instead, a passionate love affair created a rift between the family, with shattering consequences that reverberated for decades to come. Nineteen years later, when Carlisle receives a phone call that unravels the events of that fateful summer, she sees with new eyes how her younger self has informed the woman she’s become.  They’re Going to Love You is a gripping and gorgeously written novel of heartbreaking intensity. With psychological precision and a masterfully revealed secret at its heart, it asks what it takes to be an artist in America, and the price of forgiveness, of ambition, and of love.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/575814Tue, 15 Nov 2022 07:11:04 +0000Hettie SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/575814 to listen full audiobooks.

They were two sisters with nothing in common but their parents. Frances Turner has a confession to make: her sister, Crosby, who has built her life on good luck and good looks, drives her crazy.

It is 1908 and Smyrna is the most cosmopolitan city on the Mediterranean Sea. Though long a part of the Ottoman Empire, Smyrna has always been Greek, and its citizens honor the traditions of previous generations. The Demirigis and Melopoulos families are no different, and now Liana Demirigis will wed the only Melopoulos son, Vassili—a marriage arranged by her parents. After the wedding, Liana and Vassili build an idyllic life for themselves and their children outside of the city, safe from rising political tensions roiling the region and the world. But less than a decade later, the growing divisions between the Greeks and Turks threaten to boil over. When each country chooses a different side with the outbreak of the Great War, a hunger to reclaim Izmir consumes Greece. Suddenly Liana and her family, like thousands of others like them, are thrust into danger . . . and many will not survive. Children of the Catastrophe is a beautifully told story that unfolds through the experiences of the Melopoulos family—their loves and quarrels, their hopes and disappointments, played out against a world on fire.

Cal has always lived in the shadow of his manipulative and domineering brother, Frank, who was doted upon by their mother and beloved by the girls in their small New England hometown—including Cal’s own girlfriends. In an attempt to escape Frank’s intrusive presence, Cal pursues a different kind of freedom in the world’s wild spaces, prospecting for gold and precious minerals everywhere from the heat of the desert at the Mexican border to the Alaskan chill, to central Africa, and Colombian mines where he will meet the love of his life, Vida. Soon he is dripping in wealth, his pockets full of gold nuggets and emeralds, but the money means far less to him than his independence. To Frank, however, “Cash is king.” As Cal’s success grows, so too does Frank’s power and his influence in Cal’s affairs, the devastating threat he creates at the center of his little brother’s life. And, ultimately, when Frank decides to commit the ultimate betrayal…Cal is left with only one, final solution.

It went on to sell over six million copies in 40 languages, and was named as one of the BBC's 100 'Novels That Shaped Our World' in 2019. Set in Kerala in both the present and 1969, it tells the compelling tale of fraternal twins Rahel and Estha, whose lives are shattered by the 'Love Laws' that dictate 'who should be loved, and how. And how much'. As children, they are inseparable: so close, they think of themselves as one person. But when they are just seven, everything changes. A terrible tragedy occurs, and, drawn into its devastating repercussions, they are forced apart. Twenty-three years later, Rahel has moved to America and made a new life. But when she hears that Estha has been 're-returned', she travels to Ayemenem to be with her long-lost, broken brother. As painful memories come flooding back, the heartbreaking events of the twins' childhood gradually unfold, and through flashbacks and flash-forwards, the secrets of their desperately dysfunctional family are revealed... A powerful story of forbidden cross-caste love and what a community will do to protect the old ways, this enthralling, atmospheric drama stars Yasmin Wilde, Richard Sumitro and Shaheen Khan, and features a haunting soundtrack by internationally-renowned musician Nitin Sawhney. Also included is a bonus episode of Radio 4's Bookclub from 2011, in which Arundhati Roy talks to James Naughtie about what was then her only work of fiction. Taking questions from the audience, she discusses the novel's themes and symbolism, and reveals how her training as an architect helped her plan its complex, multi-layered structure.

Title: Till the Wheels Fall Off Author: Brad Zellar Narrator: Graham Halstead Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 27 minutes Release date: August 2, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: From roller rinks and record players to coin-operated condom dispensers and small-town mobsters, Till the Wheels Fall Off is a novel about an unconventional childhood among the pleasures and privations of the pre-digital era. It’s the late 1980s, and Matthew Carnap is awake most nights, afflicted by a potent combination of insomnia and undiagnosed ADHD. Sometimes he gazes out his bedroom window into the dark; sometimes he wanders the streets of his small southern Minnesota town. But more often than not, he crosses the hall into his stepfather Russ’s roller rink to spend the sleepless hours lost in music. Russ’s record collection is as eclectic as it is extensive, and he and Matthew bond over discovering new tunes and spinning perfect skate mixes. Then Matthew’s mother divorces Russ; they move; the roller rink closes; the twenty-first century arrives. Years later, an isolated, restless Matthew moves back to his hometown.

Title: Till the Wheels Fall Off Author: Brad Zellar Narrator: Graham Halstead Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 27 minutes Release date: August 2, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: From roller rinks and record players to coin-operated condom dispensers and small-town mobsters, Till the Wheels Fall Off is a novel about an unconventional childhood among the pleasures and privations of the pre-digital era. It’s the late 1980s, and Matthew Carnap is awake most nights, afflicted by a potent combination of insomnia and undiagnosed ADHD. Sometimes he gazes out his bedroom window into the dark; sometimes he wanders the streets of his small southern Minnesota town. But more often than not, he crosses the hall into his stepfather Russ’s roller rink to spend the sleepless hours lost in music. Russ’s record collection is as eclectic as it is extensive, and he and Matthew bond over discovering new tunes and spinning perfect skate mixes. Then Matthew’s mother divorces Russ; they move; the roller rink closes; the twenty-first century arrives. Years later, an isolated, restless Matthew moves back to his hometown. From an unusual apartment in the pressbox of the high school football stadium, he searches his memories, looking for something that might reconnect him with Russ. With humor and empathy, Brad Zellar (House of Coates) returns with a discursive, lo-fi novel about rural Midwestern life, nostalgia, neurodiversity, masculinity, and family.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/lifemark-by-chris-fabry--65304965https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/574436 to listen full audiobooks.

But if she never saw him again, how could she ever be sure? Melissa had clung to the thin thread of hope given by the adoption agency that someday her newborn son might want to connect with her. When his eighteenth birthday arrived, she called the agency to simply update her contact information, not expecting a response.

Title: The Puppeteer's Daughters Author: Heather Newton Narrator: Lauren Ezzo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 26 minutes Release date: July 26, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Famed puppeteer and master manipulator Walter Gray surprises his three daughters by announcing there is a fourth at his 80th birthday party. An incomplete paternity test—and a will that places a condition on each daughter’s inheritance—suggest that the missing daughter isn’t a figment of his dementia. Jane, the eldest, is tired of her father’s eccentricities. She remembers the scarcity of her childhood and doesn’t want another sister to share the birthright. Rosie, born out of wedlock, sees the missing sister as her key to acceptance as a full member of the puppeteer’s family. Cora, the youngest, born after Walter achieved fame and fortune, is most concerned with extricating herself from running Walter’s company so that she can pursue her own life. The sisters each knew a different version of their enigmatic father, but all grew up in the presence of fairy tales acted out with marionettes and shadow puppets. If they are to find the fourth daughter and claim the legacy their father has left them, the three must confront their fractured relationships with their father and each other. Infused with fairy tales that sometimes spill magic into the sisters’ real lives, The Puppeteer’s Daughters is a stunningly woven family saga about the cost and rewards of claiming a creative life.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/576101Tue, 26 Jul 2022 07:11:04 +0000Hettie SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/576101 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Secret World of Connie Starr Author: Robbi Neal Narrator: Fiona Macleod Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 45 minutes Release date: July 6, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: A stunning evocation of Australian life through the war to the 1950s, this novel is intimate and sweeping, immediate and dreamlike - a magical rendering of darkness and joy, and the beauty inherent in difference. For readers of Sarah Winman's Still Life, Trent Dalton's All Our Shimmering Skies and Rosalie Ham's The Dressmaker. Connie Starr was always a difficult child. Her mother knew as soon as Connie entered the world that day in Ballarat in 1934 and opened her lungs to scream, there was more chaos in the world than before and it wouldn't leave until Connie did. From the safety of a branch high in her lemon tree where she speaks to angels, she sees the world for what it is - a swirling mass of beauty and darkness, of trauma and family, of love and war and truth and lies - lies that might just undo her and drive her to a desperate act. This ambitious, complex and insightful novel intertwines numerous stories of lives from before World War II and beyond, recreating with intimacy and breadth a world that is now lost to us. This book is a brightly coloured patchwork quilt of everything from shoes to polio, lemon trees to rivers, death to life that melds into one beautiful, luminous work of art. 'The Secret World of Connie Starr will set the literary firmament ablaze.

Title: The Secret World of Connie Starr Author: Robbi Neal Narrator: Fiona Macleod Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 45 minutes Release date: July 6, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: A stunning evocation of Australian life through the war to the 1950s, this novel is intimate and sweeping, immediate and dreamlike - a magical rendering of darkness and joy, and the beauty inherent in difference. For readers of Sarah Winman's Still Life, Trent Dalton's All Our Shimmering Skies and Rosalie Ham's The Dressmaker. Connie Starr was always a difficult child. Her mother knew as soon as Connie entered the world that day in Ballarat in 1934 and opened her lungs to scream, there was more chaos in the world than before and it wouldn't leave until Connie did. From the safety of a branch high in her lemon tree where she speaks to angels, she sees the world for what it is - a swirling mass of beauty and darkness, of trauma and family, of love and war and truth and lies - lies that might just undo her and drive her to a desperate act. This ambitious, complex and insightful novel intertwines numerous stories of lives from before World War II and beyond, recreating with intimacy and breadth a world that is now lost to us. This book is a brightly coloured patchwork quilt of everything from shoes to polio, lemon trees to rivers, death to life that melds into one beautiful, luminous work of art. 'The Secret World of Connie Starr will set the literary firmament ablaze. This brilliant, quintessentially Australian ode to difference, transcends time and place - it's an achingly lovely tale that shines long after the last page.'

Title: The Falling Series: #1 of The Brightest Stars Series Author: Anna Todd Narrator: Lauren Ezzo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 43 minutes Release date: July 5, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.58 of Total 19 Ratings of Narrator: 3.75 of Total 4 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: A new love story from Anna Todd begins with The Falling, the first novel in a new trilogy from the #1 internationally bestselling author of the After series. Twenty-year-old Karina is proud of the independent life she is trying to create for herself in Ft. Benning, Georgia. A dutiful officer’s daughter, supportive sister to a troubled twin brother, and caring friend to her roommate, Elodie, Karina always puts the needs of others ahead of her own and prides herself on being a fixer of broken things—whether it’s the house she’s just bought or the fragmented family she works hard to keep intact. Like anyone who has grown up around an army base, Karina also knows the background noise that follows men and women home from war. And when she meets Kael, a handsome soldier on the cusp of discharge, she’s immediately intrigued by his brooding presence and enigmatic silence. As their uncertain and unexpected friendship starts to turn into something more, Karina tries to piece together Kael’s story: he is emotionally closed off, recovering from wounds and other trauma in the aftermath of two tours in Afghanistan. In her practice as a physical therapist, Karina has a strong desire to help him heal, and though it challenges her many insecurities and anxieties, she has an equally strong desire to trust him. But that trust is fragile, like the preciousness of a soldier’s life. It can be gone in an instant. Ultimately facing a crossroads, their relationship will be tested by the one thing that Karina cannot accept, forgive, or understand.

Reported to the police for murder by her vindictive mother-in-law, she was suspected of poisoning her husband, jailed away from her son, and nearly went to prison before an autopsy proved her husband died of an undiagnosed nut allergy. Traumatized by the experience, she and her son Dan have become very close while also dealing with tension from the emotional scars left by the experience. She keeps a close eye on him—and not just because of what’s happened to her—she has reasons that are more genetic than environmental. Dan, like his grandmother, is a sociopath: manipulative, impulsive, and almost remorseless. Intensive therapy has helped him and his mother a great deal, but she has always worried that he is a ticking time bomb whose impulsiveness and lack of empathy will lead him straight to jail. So when Dan’s girlfriend goes missing after the two get blackout drunk on a date and Dan believes he may have killed her, Kelly scrambles to cover for him. But his vindictive grandmother has other plans and no qualms about lying to get what she wants. Now, a desperate mother willing to take any steps to protect her son must face a grandmother with no conscience—and be prepared to suffer the consequences.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/573077Tue, 03 May 2022 07:11:04 +0000Hettie SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/573077 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Solitude of Prime Numbers: A Novel Author: Paolo Giordano Narrator: Luke Daniels Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 0 minutes Release date: May 3, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: A stunning debut novel about the intertwined destinies of two friends brought together by childhood tragedy. A three-million-copy Italian bestseller and winner of that country’s prestigious Premio Strega award. A prime number is inherently a solitary thing: it can only be divided by itself, or by one: it never truly fits with another. Alice and Mattia, too, move on their own axis, alone with their personal tragedies. As a child, Alice’s overbearing father drove her first to a terrible skiing accident, and then to anorexia. When she meets Mattia she recognizes a kindred, tortured spirit, and Mattia reveals to Alice his terrible secret: that as a boy he abandoned his mentally-disabled twin sister in a park to go to a party, and when he returned, she was nowhere to be found. These two irreversible episodes mark Alice and Mattia’s lives for ever, and as they grow into adulthood their destinies seem intertwined: they are divisible only by themselves and each other. But the shadow of the lost twin haunts their relationship, until a chance sighting by Alice of a woman who could be Mattia’s sister forces a lifetime of secret emotion to the surface. A meditation on loneliness and love, The Solitude of Prime Numbers asks, can we ever truly be whole when we’re in love with another? And when Mattia is asked to choose between human love and his professional love — of mathematics — which will make him more complete?]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/576173Tue, 03 May 2022 07:11:04 +0000Hettie SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/576173 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Sol de mayo (Subjefe Rocco Schiavone 4) Series: #4 of Subjefe Rocco Schiavone Author: Antonio Manzini Narrator: Javier Portugués (portu) Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 28 minutes Release date: March 31, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Cuarta novela de la serie protagonizada por el subjefe Rocco Schiavone, un personaje de una verdad y una profundidad tales que da la impresión de tener vida propia. Unos días después de haber liberado a Chiara Berguet, el subjefe Rocco Schiavone se encuentra muy afectado por un hecho que no le desearía a nadie: la muerte, en su propia casa, de la compañera de un amigo de Roma, acribillada con balas que iban destinadas a él. Pero cuando la depresión amenaza una vez más con doblegarlo, Rocco echa mano del mejor recurso que conoce para combatirla: expresar su ira contra todo el mundo, transmutada en una ironía capaz de herir más hondo que una navaja. Por fortuna, los agentes de la comisaría de Aosta, que están aprendiendo a convivir con la coraza de espinas que recubre el corazón malherido de su jefe, saben tomárselo con filosofía y aguantar el chaparrón. Así que, cuando Rocco sale del pozo, lo animan a emprender la búsqueda del asesino, que, al discurrir entre Roma y Aosta, se convierte en una dolorosa exploración de su pasado, un viaje en el tiempo que es como una herida abierta sobre una llaga que sigue sangrando. Y por si fuera poco, el caso de otro finado, al que en un principio se había dado carpetazo como víctima de un infarto, aterriza sobre su mesa para avivar su irritación. Y con él, un nuevo viaje, en esta ocasión al sector más acomodado de la ciudad, el de los que están fuera de toda sospecha, los que creen que pueden disponer de la vida humana como si de un peluche se tratara. Cuarta novela de la serie protagonizada por el subjefe Rocco Schiavone, un policía políticamente incorrecto donde los haya. En paralelo a los diversos casos se desarrolla, en realidad, un único relato: el de la vida de un hombre que choca contra la corrupción impune e invasiva de los privilegios sociales, contra el desencanto absoluto de la Italia de hoy. La crítica ha dicho... «Antonio Manzini ha hecho del subjefe de policía Rocco Schiavone un personaje inolvidable, que crea adicción.» Corriere della Sera «Antonio Manzini ha dibujado un personaje extraordinario.» Andrea Camilleri «La mejor entrega de la serie, la más sofisticada e interesante. Se lee de un tirón.» Amica «La historia de una lucha contra la impunidad y la corrupción rampante de los privilegios sociales, en el contexto del desencanto absoluto de la Italia de hoy.» La Libridinosa «Manzini vuelve a atrapar la atención del lector con una trama absolutamente fascinante.» LaFeltrinelli «Una novela apasionante y envolvente, como el personaje de Rocco Schiavone.» La Lettrice Rampante «Antonio Manzini ha conseguido unir ironía, acción y sentimientos de un modo sencillo pero convincente, haciendo de Sol de mayo un noir sensacional.» Leggere a Colori]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/573406Thu, 31 Mar 2022 07:11:04 +0000Hettie SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/573406 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Dos chicas de Shanghai Author: Lisa See Narrator: Irene Montalà Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 20 minutes Release date: March 31, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Esta historia nos abre una nueva ventana a un mundo asombroso. Cuajada de detalles históricos y maravillosos personajes, Dos chicas de Shanghai es una novela sobre la complejidad de los sentimientos que anidan en el seno de la familia y marcan el destino de las personas. Hacia el año 1937, Shanghai está considerada el París del continente asiático. En la sofisticada y opulenta ciudad, donde conviven mendigos, millonarios, gángsters, jugadores y artistas, la vida sonríe a las hermanas Pearl y May Chin, hijas de un acaudalado hombre de negocios. De temperamentos casi opuestos, las dos son hermosas y jóvenes y, pese a haber sido criadas en el seno de una familia de valores tradicionales, viven con la sola preocupación de asimilar lo que llega de Occidente. Visten a la última moda y posan para los artistas publicitarios, que ven en el retrato de las hermanas la proyección de los sueños de prosperidad de todo un país. Pero cuando la fortuna familiar sufre un golpe irreversible, el futuro de Pearl y May se tiñe de precariedad e incertidumbre. Con los bombardeos japoneses a las puertas de la ciudad, las hermanas iniciarán un largo viaje que las llevará a California, donde su estrecha relación se pondrá a prueba. Sin embargo, a pesar de los celos y la rivalidad, ambas lucharán por permanecer unidas, a la vez que intentarán hallar fuerzas para salir adelante en unas más que difíciles circunstancias. La crítica ha dicho... «Evocadora, mágica, y absolutamente imposible de olvidar.» The Boston Globe «Un triunfo en todos los niveles, una historia hermosa y conmovedora.» The Washington Post Book Review «Una historia arrolladora [...] repleta de meticuloso y complejo detalle.» The New York Times «Fascinante, una sugerente reflexión sobre lo que significa ser humanos.» People «El impecable argumento y los personajes, ricamente dibujados, arrastran al lector de inmediato a lo largo de veinte años de amor, pérdida, desengaños y alegrías.» Publisher's Weekly «Este libro de colores intensos explora, sobre todo, las dificultades y recompensas de la solidaridad entre hermanas.» Daily Mail «Un elegante y meticuloso estudio de las vidas de dos hermanas irresistibles.» The Miami Herald «Si buscas una de esas lecturas que te transportan a un mundo exótico y desconocido [...] no hallarás mejor novela.» The Dallas Morning News]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/578623Thu, 31 Mar 2022 07:11:04 +0000Hettie SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/578623 to listen full audiobooks.

El día que la joven Aurora se vio obligada a trabajar en la mina tras el accidente de su padre, se juró a sí misma hacer lo que fuera necesario para salir de aquel infierno.

Title: [Spanish] - La bajamar Author: Aroa Moreno Durán Narrator: Nahia Laiz, Charo Soria, Sol De La Barreda Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 40 minutes Release date: March 10, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: *Premio Grand Continent 2022* Con una prosa hermosa y evocadora, pero también visceral e inmisericorde, la autora nos conduce por casi un siglo de nuestra historia reciente: el horror de la Guerra Civil, el desarraigo del exilio, los años del plomo, la casa vacía y la vida vencida, y aún más allá, desde los secretos del pasado hasta la huida del futuro. «¿Cómo es la memoria de lo que nunca llega a decirse en voz alta? Aroa Moreno Durán y su brutal capacidad para narrar el silencio de tres mujeres que se asoman al dolor con vértigo, pero sin miedo». Belén Gopegui Adirane regresa a la casa familiar de su pueblo junto a la ría, en el norte del País Vasco, con la frágil excusa de registrar la última memoria de infancia de su abuela Ruth durante la Guerra Civil. Ha dejado atrás a su marido y a su hija de cinco años, sin siquiera una explicación, para intentar encontrar un nuevo punto de partida desde su propio pasado. En la casa vive también Adriana, su madre, con quien no se habla desde hace años. ¿Qué significa criar o cuidar de alguien bajo tres contextos históricos y políticos muy dispares y en un territorio casi permanentemente tensado? En esta novela, madres e hijas de diferentes generaciones irán tejiendo, con el ritmo y la fuerza de las mareas, una genealogía zarandeada por secretos familiares y enfrentamientos que hasta ahora las han mantenido alejadas, viviendo vidas separadas por los muros de lo que nunca se dice. La crítica ha dicho: «Dice la narradora que siempre somos más exigentes con la ficción que con la realidad. Que la vida está llena de contradicciones, de misterios, de saltos de la felicidad a la tristeza sin explicaciones. En La bajamar, Aroa Moreno refleja esa complejidad. Es una novela oscura y bellísima». Julia Olmo, ABC Cultural «Aconsejo vivamente la lectura de La bajamar [...]. Y no sólo por su madurez literaria, su equilibrio complejo en la estructura y su precisión de estilo a la hora de definir a l personajes, sino porque madurez, complejidad y personajes nos llevan a mirar por dentro las historias que componen nuestra historia, el argumento social de nuestras vidas». Luis García Montero, Infolibre «Moreno [...] hurta ciertas piezas del tablero en favor de una prosa tensa, emotiva, empática, poética». Gonzalo Núñez, El Debate «Cómo me ha roto el corazón en mil pedazos y de qué manera más preciosa». Zahara «Aroa Moreno Durán escribe sobre maternidad y la pena congénita de las que vienen de abajo. Mujeres vencidas transmiten un modo de mirar que duele, y el dolor no empodera: el dolor duele y es enfermedad hereditaria. La memoria es presente y los fantasmas forman parte de la carne. Hambre, violencia y desarraigo no son poesía, sino realidad tangible: tenemos miedo a no saber cuidar de nuestras propias hijas, y un amor descomunal alimenta los gestos aparentemente fríos en una novela bellísima, de escritura luminosa, que desdice todos los tópicos y aprieta el nudo que une a las mujeres con el peso que la Historia carga sobre ellas». Marta Sanz «Una reflexión sobre el dolor, el secreto y la herencia a través de tres mujeres de diferentes generaciones. Novela breve pero desbordante de literatura: de gran literatura». Ignacio Martínez de Pisón «Atraviesa la Historia, los hechos, les pone de nuevo conciencia, carne, emoción y mirada. Rebusca en los acontecimientos que construyeron sociedades, políticas, silencios y formas de vivir. Convierte la memoria en ficción. Y lo hace desde una narrativa propia, hermosa y aguda. Así escribe Aroa Moreno Durán las novelas».

Tras pasarse nueve meses destrozando sus Clarks, pues se niega a calzarse unas botas de montaña apropiadas para la región, Schiavone acoge con escepticismo la llegada de una teórica primavera al valle de Aosta. Su resistencia a someterse a la realidad de aquel lugar, donde ni las estaciones del año son como deberían ser, se refleja también en su labor profesional. Al conocerse el accidente de una furgoneta en el que mueren el conductor y su acompañante, Rocco reacciona con su habitual irritación e intenta desentenderse del asunto. Sin embargo, pocos días después, la desaparición de una joven perteneciente a una rica familia de constructores de la zona despierta su instinto de sabueso: las pesquisas para encontrar a la chica le abren las puertas de un mundo subterráneo que lo deja estupefacto. Rocco conoce muy bien los negocios turbios que se dan en una gran ciudad como la que tanto añora, pero no sospechaba hasta qué punto podía existir algo semejante en ese rincón perdido entre las montañas. Finalmente, Schiavone no tiene más remedio que ponerse manos a la obra, lo que lo obligará a apartar de su mente el espinoso asunto de su relación con la mejor amiga de su última ex, además de un doloroso hecho de su pasado que se niega a aceptar. La crítica ha dicho... «Una de esas historias que se devoran.» La Stampa «Respecto a otros investigadores memorables, como el inspector Coliandro, de Lucarelli, o el aún más famoso comisario Montalbano, de Camilleri, Rocco Schiavone es el campeón de lo políticamente incorrecto.» Gazzetta del Sud «Manzini, actor y guionista, conoce bien las reglas para dar ritmo a una historia y sabe cómo fascinar al lector.» Gazzetta di Parma]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/573702Thu, 24 Feb 2022 07:11:04 +0000Hettie SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/573702 to listen full audiobooks.

Novela ganadora del premio El Ojo Crítico de RNE de Narrativa 2017. «Es una novela perfecta, por la emoción y por la manera de su autora de acertar en todas las decisiones». Almudena Grandes Berlín, 1956. La tarde con más frío de todo el invierno, las manos de una niña se ensucian de carbón. Berlín, 1958. En esas mismas manos hay un secreto o un recuerdo, una insignia con tres letras grabadas: PCE. Berlín,1961.

Qué cosas se llevan en los viajes, cuando se huye, cuando no será posible el regreso. La vida de Katia podría haber sido contada de muchas formas, pero la prosa de Aroa Moreno Durán, incisiva y brillante, nos la cuenta de este modo: devolviendo la belleza al peso de la Historia. Críticas: «Es una fascinante historia sobre el desarraigo personal y político. El personaje de Katia conmueve y a la vez ilumina los dramas ideológicos de la historia europea del siglo XX. Una novela escrita con una delicadeza que toca el corazón del lector». Manuel Vilas «Aroa Moreno Durán muestra en esta primera novela un talento poco común y una prosa cuidada, llena de imaginación, ritmo y poderosas imágenes casi poéticas. Un hallazgo». Elena Costa, El Cultural «Qué sorpresa agradable supone esta novela. Las cincuenta o sesenta primeras páginas son emocionantes a la vez que nada efectistas. No contaré la historia que, resumida, podría parecer banal, pero contiene eso que es tan difícil de precisar, definir, apresar: verdad». José Ovejero «Una novela íntima y bella atravesada por la Historia, que cuenta la vida de unos exiliados republicanos españoles en Berlín, antes de la construcción del muro, durante y después de su caída, haciendo uso de una prosa limpia, poderosa y personal». Lara Moreno «Alto y claro. Esta novela de Aroa Moreno Durán es excelente».

Amidst the tragedy and humor of everyday school and family life, the worst student defends the best teacher who is unjustly judged guilty of unforgiveable crimes against another student. Interweaving throughout the narrative, each of fifteen characters tell their stories and that of the other characters resplendent with biases and satire. Lukas is an underdog and a winner: intelligent, angry, humorous and 14 years old. He is a guerrilla warfare fighter against the establishment and injustice. Lukas discovers his teachers to be people with faults and failings, and he is prepared to manipulate them to his advantage. To Lukas comes Donny: teacher, coach and mentor. What happens when Lukas finds something to admire in the enemy? Donny is popular with the students because he treats them as human beings. This gets him into trouble with “by the book” Principal Grey. It's annoying enough for Lukas to have one of his teachers as his mentor – it’s even more annoying when your mentor and your mother overcome their differences and become a romantic item. It’s also annoying to have the hots for a girl three years older than yourself and discover that her boyfriend isn’t too welcoming concerning your advances to her. What happens when Grey starts victimizing Lukas’ new mate? Worse still, what happens when your mate is unjustly judged guilty of the sexual assault of the girl you have the hots for? He's guilty until proven innocent. But you go into battle for your mate because you know he’s the all good, genuine article. And at the end of it all when it's turned out for better or worse, you have to say goodbye to your best mate. But the important thing is, what have you learnt from all of this? Do you take revenge on the tormentor, or not because you are the better man? Whatever happens, we are left in no doubt that Lukas will grow up to be a warrior against injustice. Lukas is a character ready-made for listeners to love.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/575362Fri, 04 Feb 2022 07:11:04 +0000Hettie SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/575362 to listen full audiobooks.

Lukas discovers his teachers to be people with faults and failings, and he is prepared to manipulate them to his advantage. To Lukas comes Donny: teacher, coach and mentor. What happens when Lukas finds something to admire in the enemy? Donny is popular with the students because he treats them as human beings. This gets him into trouble with “by the book” Principal Grey. It's annoying enough for Lukas to have one of his teachers as his mentor – it’s even more annoying when your mentor and your mother overcome their differences and become a romantic item. It’s also annoying to have the hots for a girl three years older than yourself and discover that her boyfriend isn’t too welcoming concerning your advances to her. What happens when Grey starts victimizing Lukas’ new mate? Worse still, what happens when your mate is unjustly judged guilty of the sexual assault of the girl you have the hots for? He's guilty until proven innocent. But you go into battle for your mate because you know he’s the all good, genuine article. And at the end of it all when it's turned out for better or worse, you have to say goodbye to your best mate. But the important thing is, what have you learnt from all of this? Do you take revenge on the tormentor, or not because you are the better man? Whatever happens, we are left in no doubt that Lukas will grow up to be a warrior against injustice. Lukas is a character ready-made for listeners to love.]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-family-chao-by-lan-samantha-chang--65305099https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/570828 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Russian] - Жена Тони Author: адриана трижиани Narrator: алексей багдасаров Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 18 hours 6 minutes Release date: July 30, 2021 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: 'Жена Тони' Адрианы Трижиани – новая захватывающая семейная сага от автора бестселлера 'Жены башмачника'! 1930-е. Америка на пороге золотой эпохи биг-бэндов, задорный джаз несется из каждого окна и манит, манит. Юная Чичи живет в простой, но большой и дружной семье на берегу океана и мечтает стать профессиональным музыкантом, писать и исполнять песни. Саверио, ее будущий муж, ушел из дома еще в шестнадцать лет. Талант, красота и завораживающий голос стремительно сделали его любимцем публики, но ему пришлось прийти на многие жертвы. Теперь для всех его зовут Тони – ведь это имя гораздо звонче, удобнее выкрикивать поклонницам из толпы. Однажды Чичи и Тони встретятся на берегу океана – и с этого дня их пути тесно переплетутся навсегда. Оба одаренные, амбициозные, одержимые музыкой, они пойдут вперед, притягиваясь и отталкиваясь, через все перипетии и радости жизни в мире джаза, и просто жизни как она есть – с потерями и победами, с предательством и прощением, слезами и смехом. И обязательно – музыкой! Адриана Трижиани, как всегда, искусно плетет семейную эпопею, протянувшуюся на семьдесят лет, но и житейские мелочи описывает с любовью и бережным вниманием. Благодаря ее особому дару уловить и передать движения чувств, от самых глубоких до самых мимолетных, история 'Жены Тони' мгновенно очаровывает и остается в сердце надолго. Пресса о книге: 'Новая книга Адрианы Трижиани – это сладостно-горькая песня о бесконечном разнообразии любви' People ''Жена Тони' – это захватывающая история жизни, в которой нашлось место всему: музыке, войне, красивым платьям, домашней пасте, верности, изменам.

Энца – старшая дочь в большой и очень бедной семье, а Чиро – полусирота, которого мать оставила жить при женском монастыре. Почему-то Энца позволила незнакомому мальчику поцеловать себя, и этот поцелуй был не похож ни на что в их жизни. Энца – лучшая швея в Скильпарио, возможно, ей под силу починить разбитое сердце Чиро?.. Однако судьба разлучает их: сперва Чиро, а затем и Энца вынуждены покинуть родные края и по отдельности отправиться через океан в далекую, неизведанную Америку. Пока Чиро, устроившись подмастерьем, осваивает профессию башмачника, Энца идет работать на фабрике. Их пути вновь пересекаются, только чтобы вновь разойтись: Чиро уже записался волонтером в солдаты и отправляется на Первую мировую, и Энца твердо решает строить свою жизнь без него. Она начинает карьеру швеи в Метрополитен-опера, трудолюбие и талант прокладывают ей путь наверх, и путь этот неожиданно приводит к знакомству с великим Энрико Карузо… История их жизни будет полна неожиданных поворотов, искушений, невзгод, счастливых мгновений, дружбы и любви. Той самой эпической любви, которая не гаснет перед лицом долгих разлук, которую они пронесут через два континента и две мировые войны, через блеск и нищету Нью-Йорка и пасторальную красоту Италии. Изящный, щедрый на завораживающие живописные детали, слог Адрианы Трижиани с головой погружает вас в полную глубоких чувств, вдохновляющую историю о любви и семье, войне и потере, риске и предназначении.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/577469Fri, 11 Jun 2021 07:11:04 +0000Hettie SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/577469 to listen full audiobooks.

Grace first met Mimi when she blew into their sons’ toddler playgroup like a warm bay breeze that loosened Grace’s tight spaces. Despite differing approaches to life and parenting, the fast friends raised their kids together while cementing a sisterlike bond that neither believed could be broken.

A powerful story of self-discovery, Hadley and Grace is the heart-racing tale of two women facing insurmountable odds, racing to stay one step ahead of the trouble that is chasing them, and discovering new kinds of love and family along the way.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/gerta-a-novel-by-katerina-tuckova--65305052https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/572915 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Gerta: A Novel Author: Kateřina Tučková Narrator: Liza Seneca Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 31 minutes Release date: February 1, 2021 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: The award-winning novel by Czech author Kateřina Tučková—her first to be translated into English—about the fate of one woman and the pursuit of forgiveness in a divided postwar world. 1945. Allied forces liberate Nazi-occupied Brno, Moravia. For Gerta Schnirch, daughter of a Czech mother and a German father aligned with Hitler, it’s not deliverance; it’s a sentence. She has been branded an enemy of the state. Caught in the changing tides of a war that shattered her family—and her innocence—Gerta must obey the official order: she, along with all ethnic Germans, is to be expelled from Czechoslovakia. With nothing but the clothes on her back and an infant daughter, she’s herded among thousands, driven from the only home she’s ever known. But the injustice only makes Gerta stronger, more empowered, and more resolved to seek justice. Her journey is a relentless quest for a seemingly impossible forgiveness. And one day, she will return. Spanning decades and generations, Kateřina Tučková’s breathtaking novel illuminates a long-neglected episode in Czech history. One of exclusion and prejudice, of collective shame versus personal guilt, all through the eyes of a charismatic woman whose courage will affect all the lives she’s touched. Especially that of the daughter she loved, fought for, shielded, and would come to inspire.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/572915Mon, 01 Feb 2021 07:11:04 +0000Hettie SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/572915 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Las maravillas Author: Elena Medel Narrator: Lola Sanz Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 56 minutes Release date: November 16, 2020 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: ¿Cuál es el peso de la familia en nuestras vidas, y cuál es el peso del dinero en nuestras vidas? ¿Qué sucede cuando una madre decide no cuidar de su hija, y qué sucede cuando una hija decide no cuidar de su madre? ¿Habríamos sido diferentes de haber nacido en otro lugar, en otro tiempo, en otro cuerpo? En esta novela hay dos mujeres: María, que a finales de la década de los sesenta deja su vida en una ciudad del sur para trabajar en Madrid, y Alicia, que nace más de treinta años después y repite su camino por motivos diferentes. Sabemos lo que las separa, pero... ¿Qué las une? ¿Qué les pertenece, qué han perdido? Las maravillas es una novela sobre el dinero. Una novela sobre la falta de dinero: sobre la manera en la que nos define el dinero que no tenemos. Es también una novela sobre cuidados, responsabilidades y expectativas; sobre la precariedad que no responde a la crisis sino a la clase, y sobre quiénes −qué voces, en qué circunstancias− contarán las historias que nos permitan conocer nuestros orígenes y nuestro pasado. Las maravillas recorre las últimas décadas de la historia de España: desde el final de la dictadura hasta el estallido feminista, contado desde la periferia de una gran ciudad y en las voces −y en los cuerpos− de quienes no pueden manifestarse porque tienen que trabajar. En Las maravillas, a su manera una novela de aprendizaje, hay también pisos compartidos, líneas lentas del transporte público, raciones en bares con platos salpicados de aceite. Y de nuevo: la falta de dinero. Sobre eso trata esta novela deslumbrante, que ya antes de su publicación ha seducido a algunos de los más destacados editores internacionales y se encuentra en proceso de traducción al alemán, el inglés, el griego y el neerlandés. «Muy raramente coinciden el talento natural, la disciplina lingüística y la conmoción vital. Ese es el caso de Elena Medel, una de las grandes jóvenes poetas de nuestra lengua, cuya primera novela despliega una historia de intimidades crudas, asperezas sutiles y luminosa tristeza, que trabaja a partir de la conciencia de clase con fuerza moral, precisión estilística y honestidad narrativa» (Andrés Neuman). «Nació madura. La madurez y la complejidad de sus primeros poemarios daban miedo. Y envidia... Da la impresión de que, pese a su juventud, Elena lo ha leído todo y lo ha interiorizado todo con inteligencia. Transformando sus fuentes en algo original. Medel es una escritora que mantiene los ojos abiertos» (Marta Sanz).]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/576380Mon, 16 Nov 2020 07:11:04 +0000Hettie SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/576380 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Poeta chileno Author: Alejandro Zambra Narrator: Alejandro Zambra Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 52 minutes Release date: November 16, 2020 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Durante buena parte de esta novela Gonzalo es un poetastro que quiere ser poeta y un padrastro que se comporta como si fuera el padre biológico de Vicente, un niño adicto a la comida para gatos que años más tarde se niega a estudiar en la universidad porque su sueño principal es convertirse –también– en poeta, a pesar de los consejos de Carla, su orgullosamente solitaria madre, y de León, un padre mediocre dedicado a coleccionar autitos de juguete. El poderoso mito de la poesía chilena –un personaje secundario dice, aludiendo a los veredictos de la Academia Sueca, que los chilenos son bicampeones mundiales de poesía– es revisitado y cuestionado por Pru, una periodista gringa que se convierte en testigo accidental de ese esquivo e intenso mundo de héroes e impostores literarios. «La verdadera seriedad es cómica», decía Nicanor Parra, y esta novela sobre poetas que desprecian las novelas lo demuestra brillantemente. El laberinto masculino actual, los trágicos vaivenes del amor, las familias –o familiastras– fugaces, la omnipresente desconfianza en instituciones y autoridades, el deseo valiente y obcecado de pertenecer a una comunidad en parte imaginaria, el sentido de escribir y de leer en un mundo hostil que parece desmoronarse a toda velocidad... Son muchos los temas que este libro hermoso, contundente y desenfadado pone encima de la mesa. Autor de obras que se han vuelto emblemáticas, como Bonsái, Formas de volver a casa, Mis documentos o Facsímil, Alejandro Zambra regresa en grande a la novela con este libro que lo confirma como una de las voces fundamentales de la literatura latinoamericana en lo que va de siglo. «Un originalísimo autor» (J. A. Masoliver Ródenas, La Vanguardia). «Uno de los estilos más reconocibles de nuestra literatura» (Nadal Suau, El Mundo). «Una voz pausada y absorbente, persuasiva incluso cuando duda, que despierta y recompensa el deseo de seguir escuchando» (Chris Andrews, Times Literary Supplement). «Leí las novelas de Alejandro Zambra una tras otra, porque eran muy buena compañía. Sus libros son como la llamada de un viejo amigo en mitad de la noche, y luego extrañé la voz elegante y divertida del otro lado del teléfono, con sus historias raras y hermosas» (Nicole Krauss). «No hay otro escritor como Alejandro Zambra, no hay nadie tan arriesgado, tan sutil, tan divertido» (Daniel Alarcón). «Un escritor notable, muy perceptivo frente a la diversidad de las formas» (Ricardo Piglia). «Adoro sus fulminantes audacias» (Enrique Vila-Matas).]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/576384Mon, 16 Nov 2020 07:11:04 +0000Hettie SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/576384 to listen full audiobooks.
