The Somme, 1916. James Falconer, once a barrow boy on a London market, stands in the trenches, awaiting the command to go over the top. Away from his business empire in London, he is simply a soldier, war the great leveller. But, unlike his men, and unknown to them, deep down, Falconer doesn’t care if he lives or dies. When a face from the past offers James the chance to repair his fractured relationship with his estranged daughter, Leonie, he must decide if he can hold different things dear – and make space in his life for love.

James must weather myriad storms as he attempts to right past wrongs and build a new life.

Title: [Spanish] - Caballo fantasma Author: Karina Sosa Castaneda Narrator: Rosa Vásquez Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 29 minutes Release date: December 14, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: En una habitación de la ciudad de Oaxaca, una joven arquitecta escribe y lee los diarios que ha acumulado a lo largo de diez años. Hace seiscientos días que su madre murió. Lo único que Ka sabe de ella es que padecía una enfermedad de los nervios y amaba los caballos. Leonora, su madre, siempre ha sido un fantasma. Mientras se adapta a su regreso a la ciudad, su nuevo trabajo, las calles, el amor y las bibliotecas, Ka busca su propia historia e indaga en la vida de su madre y su apasionada afición equina. Leonora es un espacio en blanco, un misterio que Ka intentará resolver con una escritura que oscila entre recuerdos, citas y referencias literarias. A lo largo de una prosa paciente y cristalina, esta novela reflexiona sobre la ausencia, las mentiras, la soledad, los relatos familiares y la capacidad de los seres humanos de contarse las historias que les den identidad y definan su lugar en el mundo. 'Sigilosa y ajena a los aspavientos, Karina Sosa ha escrito un libro excepcional. Caballo fantasma es consecuencia del poder real de la imaginación literaria. Su escritura provoca sentimientos y nos hace sospechar que el único mundo real es el imaginario. Desde la intimidad, la lectura y la soledad es posible crear belleza e imágenes inauditas. Esta novela, no es de extrañarse, ha sido concebida en Oaxaca, ese otro país.'—Guillermo Fadanelli 'Potente, bellísima.'—Hernán Ronsino, Rialta Magazine 'Entre tantas novelas inspiradas en la violencia criminal o en las cuentas bancarias de la clase política, el libro de Karina Sosa adquiere la forma de una biblioteca donde conviven las experiencias personales y el arte de la glosa o de la cita.'—Roberto Pliego, Milenio 'Caballo fantasma logra lo que las grandes novelas consiguen: construir un mundo peculiar y una atmósfera que, cuando cierras el libro, se te queda en la piel. Lo más impresionante es que lo consigue en un texto muy breve. Crear con tan pocas pinceladas unos personajes, un mundo, un dilema emocional tan claro sin nunca ser explicativo, ni hacer una recapitulación, sino realmente mostrarnos a los personajes es algo muy difícil de hacer, sobre todo en una primera novela.'—Laia Jufresa]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/563538Wed, 14 Dec 2022 07:11:06 +0000Rafael AnkundingPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/563538 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Now We Are Forgiven Author: Tim Lott Narrator: Jamie Parker Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 45 minutes Release date: December 8, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: A brilliantly observed story of crises and reconciliations within families and stepfamilies and the conflict between Millennials and their Baby Boomer parents.  Funny, dark, yet limned with hope, Tim Lott returns to a family saga – and social commentary – that began with the award-winning White City Blue, continuing with When We Were Rich. It is a story for everyone trying to make sense of a sharply polarised world where the political has become personal and the personal has become a minefield.   Brighton, December 2019: a teenage girl is on an early morning run along the seafront. In her mind she is running away from something she hates, towards something she fears.   China’s home is with her mother Veronica, her pompous stepfather Silas and his dysfunctional son Mason. Her father, Frankie, is in London, but they have little contact, his entrenched views a provocation to her socially conscious ideals, his Brexit-supporting girlfriend a jealous rival.   Exhausted by family tensions, when China leaves Brighton, her godfather Nodge, Frankie’s best friend, and his husband Owen are her first port of call. But they, too, are beset by domestic conflict. Which leaves only her father to takes her in.    They argue, they spar, the fault lines between them grow wider – and then coronavirus strikes.    Praise for When We Were Rich   ‘A sharp and very funny portrait of a brash era which is also a surprisingly tender take on flawed masculinity’  ― Sarah Hughes, i paper ‘What a terrific novel – wickedly sharp, wildly entertaining – I was gripped from start to finish. With its twisty plots and interwoven characters it paints a vivid portrait of a crucial decade. It's laugh-out-loud funny, too. And with property porn thrown in, what's not to like’  ― Deborah Moggach ‘Wickedly funny and deeply humane.

En una muda tragicomedia desencadenada por este diagnóstico, acompañan a Ramón su esposa Carmela, que tendrá que volver a litigar después de veinte años de ama de casa, y sus hijos adolescentes, Paulina y Mateo, cuyos mayores intereses son la comida y el onanismo.

The city was a favorite of her mother’s, and as the narrator wanders the streets, she finds herself reflecting on her mother’s life and their relationship.

As the fourth daughter of the perpetually in-mourning Queen Victoria, Princess Louise’s life is more a gilded prison than a fairy tale. Expected to sit quietly next to her mother with down-cast eyes, Louise vows to escape the stultifying royal court. Blessed with beauty, artistic talent, and a common touch, she creates a life outside the walled-in existence of the palace grounds by attending the National Art Training School—where she shockingly learns to sculpt nude models while falling passionately in love with famed sculptor Joseph Edgar Boehm. But even as Louise cultivates a life outside the palace, she is constantly reminded that even royal rebels must heed the call of duty—and for a princess that means marriage. Refusing to leave England, she agrees to a match with the Duke of Argyll, and although her heart belongs to another, she is determined to act out her public role perfectly, even if her private life teeters on the brink of scandal. But when a near fatal accident forces Louise back under her mother’s iron rule, she realizes she must choose: give in to the grief of lost love or find the strength to fight for her unconventional life.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/562546Tue, 27 Sep 2022 07:11:06 +0000Rafael AnkundingPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/562546 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Bad Angel Brothers Author: Paul Theroux Narrator: Joe Knezevich Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 20 minutes Release date: September 22, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. A deliciously dark, atmospheric novel about family and brotherhood from one of America's most distinctive writers There's sibling rivalry and then there's the relationship of brothers Cal and Frank Belanger, which takes fraternal antipathy to a whole new level. Enemies seemingly since childhood, the small town of Littleford, where they are nicknamed 'The Bad Angle Brothers', just isn't big enough to hold them both. So Cal strikes out for the world's wild places -- a gifted geologist in search of gold and other precious minerals, leaving Frank to develop a successful career as the town's lawyer, fixer and local hero. Apart, their differences are muted by distance, but when Cal, newly rich and newly wed, returns to the town of his birth, to buy a house and raise a family, Frank gives him the opposite of a brotherly welcome. From undermining Cal's marriage, while Cal is away on business, to torpedoing his finances, nothing is off the table, setting the scene for a tale of gleefully vicious betrayals and reprisals, culminating in the ultimate plan: murder. Few authors have as keen an eye for human nature as the inimitable Paul Theroux, and this riveting tale of adventure, betrayal, and the true cost of family bonds is a remarkable new work from one of America's most distinctive writers. © Paul Theroux 2022 (P) Penguin Audio 2022]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/566784Thu, 22 Sep 2022 07:11:06 +0000Rafael AnkundingPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/566784 to listen full audiobooks.

Billington, Texas, is a place where nothing changes. Well, almost nothing. For the first time in nearly four decades, Mary Alice Roth is not getting ready for the first day of school at Billington High. A few months into her retirement—or, district mandated exile as she calls it—Mary Alice does not know how to fill her days. The annual picnic is coming up, but that isn’t nearly enough since the menu never changes and she had the roles mentally assigned weeks ago. At least there’s Ellie, who stops by each morning for coffee and whose reemergence in Mary Alice’s life is the one thing soothing the sting of retirement.  Mary Alice and Ellie were a pair since the day Ellie moved in next door. That they both were single mothers—Mary Alice widowed, Ellie divorced—with sons the same age was a pleasant coincidence, but they were forever linked when they lost the boys, one right after the other. Years later, the two are working their way back to a comfortable friendship. But when Mary Alice’s sister arrives on her doorstep with a staggering piece of news, it jeopardizes the careful shell she’s built around her life. The whole of her friendship with Ellie is put at risk, the fabric of a place as steadfast as Billington is questioned, and the unflappable, knotty fixture that is Mary Alice Roth might have to change after all.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/569498Tue, 20 Sep 2022 07:11:06 +0000Rafael AnkundingPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/569498 to listen full audiobooks.

For fans of Everything I Never Told You and The Mothers, a deeply moving and unflinching debut following a young Vietnamese-Australian woman who returns home to her family in the wake of her brother’s shocking murder, determined to discover what happened—a dramatic exploration of the intricate bonds and obligations of friendship, family, and community. Just let him go. These are the words Ky Tran will forever regret. The words she spoke when her parents called to ask if they should let her younger brother Denny out to celebrate his high school graduation with friends. That night, Denny—optimistic, guileless, brilliant Denny—is brutally murdered inside a busy restaurant in the Sydney suburb of Cabramatta, a refugee enclave facing violent crime, an indifferent police force, and the worst heroin epidemic in Australian history.  Returning home to Cabramatta for the funeral, Ky learns that the police are stumped by Denny’s case: a dozen people were at Lucky 8 restaurant when Denny died, but each of the bystanders claim to have seen nothing.  Desperately hoping that understanding what happened might ease her suffocating guilt, Ky sets aside her grief and determines to track down the witnesses herself. With each encounter, she peels back another layer of the place that shaped her and Denny, exposing the seeds of violence that were planted well before that fateful celebration dinner: by colonialism, by the war in Vietnam, and by the choices they’ve all made to survive.  Alternating between Ky’s voice and the perspectives of the witnesses, Tracey Lien’s extraordinary debut is at once heart-pounding and heart-rending as it probes the intricate bonds of friendship, family, and community through an unforgettable cast of characters, all connected by a devastating crime. Combining evocative family drama and gripping suspense, All That’s Left Unsaid is a profound and moving page turner, perfect for readers of Liz Moore, Brit Bennett, and Celeste Ng.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/563602Tue, 13 Sep 2022 07:11:06 +0000Rafael AnkundingPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/563602 to listen full audiobooks.

The mesmerising new novel from Ian McEwan, the bestselling author of Atonement. The world is forever changing. But for so many of us, old wounds run deep. Lessons is an intimate yet universal story of love, regret and a restless search for answers. While the world is still counting the cost of the Second World War and the Iron Curtain has descended, young Roland Baines's life is turned upside down. Stranded at boarding school, his vulnerability attracts his piano teacher, Miriam Cornell, leaving scars as well as a memory of love that will never fade. Twenty-five years later, as the radiation from the Chernobyl disaster spreads across Europe, Roland's wife mysteriously vanishes and he is forced to confront the reality of his rootless existence and look for answers in his family history. From the fall of the Berlin Wall to the Covid pandemic and climate change, Roland sometimes rides with the tide of history but more often struggles against it. Haunted by lost opportunities, he seeks solace through every possible means ­- literature, travel, friendship, drugs, politics, sex and love. His journey raises important questions. Can we take full charge of the course of our lives without damage to others? How do global events beyond our control shape us and our memories? What role do chance and contingency play in our existence? And what can we learn from the traumas of the past?

Title: The Real Mrs. Tobias: A Novel Author: Sally Koslow Narrator: Kendra Hoffman, Callie Beaulieu Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 25 minutes Release date: September 13, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: “Sally Koslow channels Nora Ephron in this lively tale of obligation versus desire and the politics of family power. Deftly written with equal parts intelligence, pathos, and humor, The Real Mrs. Tobias is a pure pleasure to read.”—Therese Anne Fowler, New York Times bestselling author of It All Comes Down to This A sharply funny and big-hearted multi-generational story about the deeply complicated relationships between mothers- and daughters-in-law, told through three women who marry into the same family, a treat for fans of The Nest and Fleischmann Is in Trouble.  It’s 2015 in New York City, and three women all known as Mrs. Tobias—Veronika, the matriarch, her daughter-in-law Mel, and Mel’s daughter-in-law Birdie—are trying to navigate personal difficulties, some of which are with one another.Veronika and Mel, despite having little in common, are both psychotherapists who are more skilled at helping other people than solving their own problems. Birdie, still dealing with the culture shock of moving to New York City and marrying into the Tobias clan, is pushed to her limit when her husband gets into trouble. No amount of badgering from his steely grandmother, smart-mouthed mother, or disillusioned wife can convince him to own up to what he’s done. Overwhelmed, Birdie bolts—along with the couple’s young daughter—to her Midwestern hometown, hoping that space, warmth and wisdom from her own feisty grandmother will help her find a path forward. And though Birdie begins to find comfort in unexpected places—a local bookstore and the arms of her old boyfriend—her absence stirs up long simmering troubles back home forcing the Tobiases to reconsider their relationships to each other, and ultimately, what it means to be a family. Will the three Tobias-women-by-marriage ever find themselves—and a way back to one another? A timely look at how women hold families together. “With a shrewd eye and a light touch, Sally Koslow weaves a story about three strong women whose memories, dreams, and desires conflict and intersect as they navigate a series of family crises. Warm, witty, and heartfelt, The Real Mrs. Tobias is a cinematic, fast-paced treat.”—Christina Baker Kline, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Exiles and Orphan Train ''With razor-sharp prose, witty humor and depth, Sally Koslow’s The Real Mrs. Tobias takes us down the MIL Road . . . the one that should come with a warning. You will laugh, you will cry, you will empathize—and if you happen to be a Daughter-In-Law—you will say, Better her than me. Yet just when you think there is no way back, Koslow's page-turner will prove that while family ties can strangle, they also can keep you bound together through love, loss, secrets, and healing.''—Lisa Barr, author of Woman on Fire]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/564562Tue, 13 Sep 2022 07:11:06 +0000Rafael AnkundingPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/564562 to listen full audiobooks.

Ruth, Esther, and Chloe have been singing and dancing in harmony since they could speak. Thanks to the rigorous direction of their mother, Vivian, they’ve become a bona fide girl group whose shows are the talk of the Jazz-era Fillmore. Now Vivian has scored a once-in-a-lifetime offer from a talent manager, who promises to catapult The Salvations into the national spotlight. Vivian knows this is the big break she’s been praying for. But sometime between the hours of rehearsal on their rooftop and the weekly gigs at the Champagne Supper Club, the girls have become women, women with dreams that their mother cannot imagine. The neighborhood is changing, too: all around the Fillmore, white men in suits are approaching Black property owners with offers. One sister finds herself called to fight back, one falls into the comfort of an old relationship, another yearns to make her own voice heard. And Vivian, who has always maintained control, will have to confront the parts of her life that threaten to splinter: the community, The Salvations, and even her family.

Everyone in Orange County’s Little Saigon knew that the Duong sisters were cursed. It started with their ancestor, Oanh, who dared to leave her marriage for true love—so a fearsome Vietnamese witch cursed Oanh and her descendants so that they would never find love or happiness, and the Duong women would only give birth to daughters. Oanh’s current descendant Mai Nguyen knows this curse well. She’s divorced, and after an explosive disagreement a decade ago, estranged from her younger sisters, Minh Pham (the middle and the mediator) and Khuyen Lam (the youngest who swears she just runs humble coffee shops and nail salons, not Little Saigon’s underground). Though Mai’s three adult daughters, Priscilla, Thuy, and Thao, are successful in their careers (one of them is John Cho’s dermatologist!), the same can’t be said for their love lives. Mai is convinced they might drive her to an early grave. Desperate for guidance, she consults Auntie Hua, her trusted psychic in Hawaii, who delivers an unexpected prediction: this year, her family will witness a marriage, a funeral, and the birth of a son. This prophecy will reunite estranged mothers, daughters, aunts, and cousins—for better or for worse. A multi-narrative novel brimming with levity and candor, “The Fortunes of Jaded Women pulls off the magic trick of being a heartfelt, multi-generational epic as well as a fast-paced, hilarious romp.

Confronted with an empty nest, Lu’s increasing dissatisfaction with their materialistic lives becomes impossible to ignore. She is most content outdoors, finding the animals in her backyard far superior company to her pretentious neighbors. In contrast, George is eager to throw himself into his business, a local winery with an elite clientele, as well as his art collection. He cannot for the life of him understand his wife’s discontent.   Meanwhile, Pippa feels completely adrift at school in the bustle of LA—its unfamiliar noises, its unfriendly atmosphere. She finds comfort only in the beloved family cat she’s brought with her and in her zoology class, which makes the world seem just a bit brighter. As Lu, George, and Pippa struggle to adapt, growing apart in the process, tensions outside the family are mounting as well; women have been disappearing across the country with no worldly explanation, all while California’s wildfire season is swiftly approaching, bringing with it a reckoning that none of the Barneses can avoid.    At once a grounded story about love and family, and a transcendent tale about the power of nature, Unleashed is a stunning look at what matters in an all too chaotic world, the things that sustain us when we are on the verge of losing it all, and how we might find ourselves in the most unexpected of ways.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/569497Tue, 06 Sep 2022 07:11:06 +0000Rafael AnkundingPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/569497 to listen full audiobooks.

As Lu, George, and Pippa struggle to adapt, growing apart in the process, tensions outside the family are mounting as well; women have been disappearing across the country with no worldly explanation, all while California’s wildfire season is swiftly approaching, bringing with it a reckoning that none of the Barneses can avoid.    At once a grounded story about love and family, and a transcendent tale about the power of nature, Unleashed is a stunning look at what matters in an all too chaotic world, the things that sustain us when we are on the verge of losing it all, and how we might find ourselves in the most unexpected of ways.]]>605falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-most-likely-club-by-elyssa-friedland--65305155https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/568846 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Ghetto Within: A Novel Author: Santiago H. Amigorena Narrator: Steven Jay Cohen Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 32 minutes Release date: August 23, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: In his English language debut, Santiago H. Amigorena writes to fight the silence that “has stifled [him] since [he] was born”, weaving together fiction, biography, and memoir to distill a stirring novel of loss and unshakeable love. A critical sensation in France, The Ghetto Within is its author’s personal attempt to confront his grandfather’s silence. Passed down, from generation to generation, the silence of Amigorena’s grandfather became his own. A gripping study of inheritance,The Ghetto Within re-imagines the life of this Jewish grandfather, a Polish exile in Argentina, whose guilt provokes an enduring silence to span generations. 1928. Vicente Rosenberg is one of countless European émigrés making a new life for themselves in Argentina. It is here, along the bustling avenues of Buenos Aires, that he will meet and marry Rosita, whose ties to his native Poland are more ancestral than extant. They will have three children and pursue a quiet, comfortable domestic life. Vicente will start a profitable business and, on occasion, look back. Still, despite success, he will ache for his mother, Gustawa, who stayed behind in Warsaw with his siblings. For years, she writes him several times a month. Yet, as rumors mount from abroad, Vicente is given pause. The war in Europe feels so remote. Over time, his mother's letters become increasingly sporadic and Vicente, through delayed missives and late transmissions, begins to construct the reality of a tragedy that has already occurred. And one day, the letters stop altogether. Racked with guilt and anxiety over the fate of his mother and family, he lapses into a deep despair and longstanding silence. With his new novel, Amigorena employs language to reclaim his ''voice'' from the oblivion of familial trauma. An effort to understand the ways in which his grandfather’s silence continues to affect the generations that followed,The Ghetto Within is a powerful new addition to Holocaust canon, a stunning introduction of an essential new voice to English readers.  Translated from the French by Frank Wynne.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/559197Tue, 23 Aug 2022 07:11:06 +0000Rafael AnkundingPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/559197 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: A History of Present Illness: A Novel Author: Anna Deforest Narrator: Helen Laser Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 19 minutes Release date: August 16, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: This “brutal and brave” (Booklist) novel transmutes the practice of medicine into a larger exploration of humanity, the meaning of care, and the nature of annihilation—physical, spiritual, or both. A young woman puts on a white coat for her first day as a student doctor. So begins this powerful debut, which follows our unnamed narrator through cadaver dissection, surgical rotation, difficult births, sudden deaths, and a budding relationship with a seminarian.   In the troubled world of the hospital, where the language of blood tests and organ systems so often hides the heart of the matter, she works her way from one bed to another, from a man dying of substance use and tuberculosis, to a child in pain crisis, to a young woman, fading from confusion to aphasia to death. The long hours and heartrending work begin to blur the lines between her new life as a physician and the lifelong traumas she has fled.    In brilliant, wry, and biting prose, A History of Present Illness is a boldly honest meditation on the body, the hope of healing in the face of total loss, and what it means to be alive. 2023 Rosenthal Family Foundation Award, American Academy of Arts and Letters • A Lit Hub Most Anticipated Book of 2022 • A Publishers Weekly “Writer to Watch” “A revelation.” –The New York Times]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/562435Tue, 16 Aug 2022 07:11:06 +0000Rafael AnkundingPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/562435 to listen full audiobooks.

When excitement and thrills give way to more chat about cleaning and the kids, it's not very … her. They desperately envy Connie: happily married, effortlessly juggling two children and a fulfilling career. Connie has found genuine contentment. Until, that is, a dangerous old flame flickers back into view… Will she be tempted to play with fire again?

Shifting her focus from chiromancy (prophecy by palm reading) to zoomancy (prophecy by animal behavior) to oenomancy (prophecy by wine), she fails to notice the future creeping into the heart of her very own home, and when she finally does, the threat has already breached the gates.

In this epic play cycle, based on Malory's classic Le Morte D'Arthur, Graeme Fife gives us his dramatic, in-depth retelling of these perennially popuar myths. Focusing on seven key characters: Merlin, Tristram, Gareth, Lancelot, Galahad, Guenever and Arthur himself, he builds a vivid, multi-layered picture of the fabled king and his heroic knights. We hear the tales of Merlin, the great magician, brought down by the beautiful Nimue; Tristram and his illicit passion for Isolde; and the mysterious 'Beaumains', who sets out to rescue an unknown, besieged lady from Castle Perilous. Here, too, are the stories of Sir Lancelot du Lac, the Queen's champion and jewel of the Round Table; his saintly son, Galahad; Guenever, whose love for him will tear Camelot apart - and Arthur, the King, who chose the sword Excalibur over its scabbard, and sealed his fate. And behind them all lurks the shadow of Morgan le Fay, Arthur's nemesis, and Mordred, the son destined to destroy him... Told in allusive, poetic language, and with majestic, evocative music by Steven Faux, this sumptuous drama is full of enchantment, adventure, chivalry and courtly love. It stars Keith Baxter as Arthur, with Paul Scofield as Merlin, Anna Massey as Morgan le Fay, Nicholas Farrell as Lancelot and Jill Balcon as Guenever.

Title: Rogue Herries: A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation Author: Hugh Walpole Narrator: Deborah Berlin, Gavin Muir, Jane Slavin, Mark Bonnar, Jane Whittenshaw, Full Cast Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 48 minutes Release date: June 2, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: A BBC Radio adaptation of Hugh Walpole's historical novel, set in the Lake District during the 18th Century 1730. Driven by a wild romantic impulse, Francis Herries uproots his family from Doncaster to the lakeland valley of Borrowdale. Accompanied by his housekeeper/mistress, Alice, they settle in his tumbledown ancestral home, Herries, in the shadow of the Cumberland fells. Proud, stubborn and temperamental, Francis cuts himself off from his brother, spurns his long-suffering wife and becomes embroiled in drink and debauchery. When he sells Alice at Keswick Fair, his reputation is ruined, and the locals dub him 'Rogue' Herries. His fate is sealed when he falls for the flame-haired Mirabelle Starr. They are both vagabonds, both outcasts - but she is thirty years his junior, and does not love him. As Francis struggles with his feelings for Mirabelle, his son David and daughter Deborah have battles of their own to fight. Meanwhile, the Jacobite rising has begun, and Bonnie Prince Charlie's rebel army is at the gates of Carlisle... Described by John Buchan as 'the greatest English novel since Jude the Obscure', Rogue Herries is a sweeping family saga full of romance and drama. This powerful adaptation stars Gavin Muir as Francis, Mark Bonnar as David, Jane Slavin as Alice, Deborah Berlin as Mirabelle and Jane Whittenshaw as Deborah, with a full cast including Stephen Thorne, Hugh Dickson and Gerard McDermott.

Wracked with guilt over being white, middle-class and heterosexual, she has a dedicated social conscience (unless it's inconvenient for her) and lives to interfere in other people's lives - both on a personal and professional basis. Bearing the brunt of her control freakery and lack of self-awareness are her family, colleagues and long-suffering teacher partner, Brian - all of whom have their own frustrations, disappointments and dramas. In these six series, Clare and Brian try to shore up their rocky relationship, as Brian contemplates proposing, persuades Clare to attend couples counselling, and considers splitting up. Will their baby son, Thomas Paine, bring them back together - or will new nanny Nali prove a further obstacle to domestic bliss? Meanwhile, the Sparrowhawk Family Centre is threatened with closure, and the team are joined by new member Libby - 'an Aussie and a lesbo', proud to be both, and after Clare's job...

Title: Dr. B.: A Novel Author: Daniel Birnbaum Narrator: John Lee Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 57 minutes Release date: May 24, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: The former director of the Museum of Modern Art in Stockholm makes his literary debut with this dramatic and riveting novel of book publishing, émigrés, spies, and diplomats in World War II Sweden based on his grandfather’s life. In 1933, after Hitler and the Nazi Party consolidated power in Germany, Immanuel Birnbaum, a German Jewish journalist based in Warsaw, is forbidden from writing for newspapers in his homeland. Six years later, just months before the German invasion of Poland that ignites World War II, Immanuel escapes to Sweden with his wife and two young sons. Living as a refugee in Stockholm, Immanuel continues to write, contributing articles to a liberal Swiss newspaper in Basel under the name Dr. B. He also begins working as an editor for the legendary German publisher S. Fischer Verlag. Gottfried Bermann Fischer had established an office in Stockholm to evade German censorship, publishing celebrated German writers such as Thomas Mann and Stefan Zweig. Immanuel also becomes entangled with British intelligence agents who produce and distribute anti-Nazi propaganda in Stockholm. On orders from Winston Churchill, the Allied spies plan several acts of sabotage. But when the Swedish postal service picks up a letter written in invisible ink, the plotters are exposed. The letter, long a mystery in military history accounts, was in fact written by Dr. B. But why would a Jew living in exile and targeted for death by the Nazis have wanted to tip them off?  Daniel Birnbaum’s novel will intrigue readers with its fascinating portrayal of the astonishing connections and often mysterious players illuminated by his grandfather’s remarkable wartime life.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/557742Tue, 24 May 2022 07:11:06 +0000Rafael AnkundingPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/557742 to listen full audiobooks.

A sharp, smart and witty look at adulting - Fleabag meets Sorrow and Bliss with a splash of Dolly Alderton. 'No Hard Feelings is clever, funny and surprisingly sweet, and Penny captured my heart' Toni Jordan I exist on validation from emotionally unavailable men, biscuits, and cheap wine, and it's easier to get off with Max than a Tiny Teddy. Penny can't help but compare herself to her friends. Annie is about to become a senior associate at her law firm, Bec has just got engaged, Leo is dating everyone this side of the Yarra, and Penny is just ... waiting. Waiting for Max, her on-again, off-again boyfriend, to allow her to spend the night, waiting for the promotion she was promised, waiting for her Valium to kick in. Waiting for her real life to start. Out of excuses and sick of falling behind, Penny is determined to turn things around. She's going to make it work with Max, impress her tyrannical boss, quit seeing her useless therapist, remember to water her plants, and stop having panic attacks in the work toilets. But soon she's back to doomscrolling on Instagram, necking bottles of Aldi's finest sauvignon blanc, and criticising herself with renewed vigour and loathing. As her goals seem further away than ever, she has to wonder: when bad habits feel so good, how do you trust what's right for you? Praise for No Hard Feelings: 'Genevieve Novak will inevitably be compared to other authors, but the truth is, she is herself and herself alone - and that's a good thing. Funny, biting, vulnerable and unflinching, Novak's novel is like an ocean dip: a bit salty, very refreshing.' Lauren Sams 'Scaldingly funny and bitingly real, No Hard Feelings deserves a warning label: danger, may induce binge reading. With her sly wit, Genevieve Novak's debut demonstrates a brilliant eye for observing the little things in life, which together can be the biggest things of all.' Tori Haschka, author of Grace Under Pressure 'No Hard Feelings is a gratifying, warm and funny debut' Books+Publishing 'Novak has perfectly captured the self-doubt and total horror of having to be happy and functional in your twenties. It would have you crying into your chipped manicure if it wasn't so darn funny.'

F. Newman's powerful story of ambition and crooks' The Times 1991. Britain and the US are waging war in Iraq, the Soviet Union is breaking up - and Brian Oldman is banged up in Parkhurst, his 30-year sentence restarted. Set on proving his innocence, he studies law from his cell in a bid to win justice at last. But will he ever be released from prison? Joseph Olinska, meanwhile, seems unstoppable. Now ennobled and on the board of Lehman Brothers, he plans to extend his business interests into Russia - with a little help from Boris Yeltsin and his cronies. He also cultivates the new Prime Minister, John Major: as well as a young centre-left politician named Tony Blair. The only fly in the ointment is his acrimonious divorce from Catherine, who's seeking a multi-million-pound settlement and has engaged top barrister George Carman to get it. And in the meantime, she's airing all Joseph's dirty laundry in court... With his crimes revealed for all to see, will Joseph finally get his comeuppance? And as a new millennium dawns, whose fortunes will prosper - and who will get their just deserts? Adapted by double BAFTA-winning writer G. F. Newman (Law and Order, Judge John Deed) from his own hit novels, this compelling tale mingles fact and fiction to shine a light on the corruption woven through the fabric of our society. Toby Jones stars as Joseph, with Joe Armstrong as Brian and Izabella Urbanowicz as Catherine.

F. Newman's powerful story of ambition and crooks' The Times 1991. Britain and the US are waging war in Iraq, the Soviet Union is breaking up - and Brian Oldman is banged up in Parkhurst, his 30-year sentence restarted. Set on proving his innocence, he studies law from his cell in a bid to win justice at last. But will he ever be released from prison? Joseph Olinska, meanwhile, seems unstoppable. Now ennobled and on the board of Lehman Brothers, he plans to extend his business interests into Russia - with a little help from Boris Yeltsin and his cronies. He also cultivates the new Prime Minister, John Major: as well as a young centre-left politician named Tony Blair. The only fly in the ointment is his acrimonious divorce from Catherine, who's seeking a multi-million-pound settlement and has engaged top barrister George Carman to get it. And in the meantime, she's airing all Joseph's dirty laundry in court... With his crimes revealed for all to see, will Joseph finally get his comeuppance? And as a new millennium dawns, whose fortunes will prosper - and who will get their just deserts? Adapted by double BAFTA-winning writer G. F. Newman (Law and Order, Judge John Deed) from his own hit novels, this compelling tale mingles fact and fiction to shine a light on the corruption woven through the fabric of our society. Toby Jones stars as Joseph, with Joe Armstrong as Brian and Izabella Urbanowicz as Catherine.

F. Newman's bestselling novels 'Terrific listening' The Independent 1971. As Ted Heath's government presides over the collapse of Rolls Royce, and Britain goes over to decimalisation, Brian Oldman is locked up in Brixton Prison. Joseph Oldman pulls every corrupt string in a desperate attempt to get him released; yet no sooner is Brian out, than he finds himself back inside. Joseph, however, is on the up: expanding his business through dodgy deals with a Colombian drug cartel, and making friends in high places, including Lord Goodman and Margaret Thatcher. Entering the murky world of politics, he becomes an MP, and reverts to his old surname, Olinska. But just as he is about to receive a knighthood, putting the final seal on his acceptance into the Establishment, he receives news that could ruin everything. Brian, facing a life sentence for a murder he didn't commit, is launching an appeal. He knows who the real guilty party is - Joseph - and he's determined to prove it... Blending fact and fiction to gripping effect, The Corrupted charts the story of the Oldman family against a backdrop of a revolution in crime, as the underworld extends its reach into the highest echelons of society.

Title: The Improbable Life of Ricky Bird Author: Diane Connell Narrator: Hannah Monson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 25 minutes Release date: April 25, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: If you were charmed by The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, laughed with Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine and cried over A Man Called Ove, you will love Ricky Bird. No one loved making forts more than Ricky. A fort was a place of safety and possibility. It shut out the world and enclosed her and Ollie within any story she wanted to tell ... Ricky Bird loves making up stories for her brother Ollie almost as much as she loves him. The imaginary worlds she creates are wild and whimsical places full of unlimited possibilities. Real life is another story. Ricky’s father has abandoned them and the family has moved to a bleak new neighbourhood. Worse still, her mother’s new boyfriend, Dan, has come with the furniture. But Ricky Bird is a force to be reckoned with. As the mastermind of so many outlandish adventures, her imagination is her best weapon. As her father used to say, if you can spin a good yarn you can get on in life. The trouble is that in the best stories characters sometimes take on a life of their own and no one, not even Ricky, is able to imagine the consequences. Beautifully written, heartbreakingly funny and deeply moving, this book has already been compared to The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, Lost and Found, Shuggie Bain, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine and A Monster Calls. But Ricky’s story is all her own – and it will stay with you long after the last page. ‘Fierce and wonderful and utterly singular, Ricky embodies the sheer joy and transformative power of storytelling.’ Kate Mildenhall, author of The Mother Fault and Skylarking ‘A wise, tender but unflinching portrait of an ordinary family and the unordinary girl at its heart. Ricky – fragile, tough, endearing and funny – is a fabulous creation.

Each episode is a self-contained drama, as well as telling the ongoing story of the crises and challenges tackled by the team, and their rivalries, enmities, friendships and burgeoning romances. As Series 1 begins, a goods train is derailed - just as a VIP visitor is about to arrive. As the crew scramble to clear the line, it becomes evident that the accident has damaged the Sherwood Tunnel: and something sinister lurks within. When a man is found dead, a public inquiry is launched - and as a second disaster looms, Signalman Fred Roberts fights to clear his name... In Series 2, newly promoted Regional Superintendent Archibald Cripps is hatching a plot to replace Joe as Station Manager. Adding to Joe's worries are a painful tooth, pickpockets, fare-dodgers and his daughter Josie's relationship with porter Jack Robson. But when a train gets stuck in a snowdrift, with a young pregnant woman on board, it's up to Joe and his rescue party to save the day - even if it means getting fired... Written by Steve Chambers (HighLites), these gentle, engaging plays take us back to a bygone age of travel, when the railways ruled the roost.

He’s older, wiser and one of the most handsome, charming, and funny men she’s ever met. Izzie is instantly smitten, and after a wonderful time at the wedding, she’s certain she’ll hear from Cabot again soon. But she doesn’t hear a word from him until she’s back in Boston and invites him to dinner. After yet another fantastic time together, she’s once again optimistic—and once again disappointed when she gets nothing but silence from him. Cabot has his reasons for keeping his distance. After his former wife took off with their baby daughter, he spent twenty-five years looking for Mia, who suddenly reappeared in his life as a grown woman with a new husband. He’s never been happier than since Mia returned, but those twenty-five years of searching left him with a deep well of bitterness that a sweet woman like Izzie doesn’t need in her life. Until Izzy is seriously injured in a car accident, and all bets are off.

Now Izzy and Cabot are hunkered down in her cozy home in Vermont, and things are starting to get real. They’ll both have to decide if their time together is a temporary interlude or the start of something lasting.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/566853Tue, 22 Mar 2022 07:11:06 +0000Rafael AnkundingPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/566853 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Life Lines: The Complete Series 1-5: A BBC Radio 4 full-cast drama Author: Al Smith Narrator: Rick Warden, Michael Jibson, Sarah Ridgeway, Nick Underwood, Don Gilet, Full Cast Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 1 minute Release date: March 10, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: All five series of the tense, fast-paced drama set in an ambulance control room 'Ambulance service - is the patient breathing and conscious?' It's a simple question, but call handler Carrie never knows where it might lead. Some calls are life-or-death, others hoaxes - and it's not always easy to tell the difference. The truth is often in the words her callers aren't saying - and it's only by listening hard and reaching out that Carrie can discover what's really going on. Working gruelling 12-hour shifts, the pace is furious, the pressure never lets up, and she finds herself juggling precious resources to try and help everyone in need. Whether it's a man intent on suicide, an acid attack victim, a baby in a bin, or a refugee trapped in a refrigerated lorry, the heart-stopping emergencies keep on coming: and Carrie always keeps her cool. But the relentless stress is taking its toll - and when her judgement is called into question over a patient who later died, she finds her work and her personal life colliding dangerously...

It's a simple question, but call handler Carrie never knows where it might lead. Some calls are life-or-death, others hoaxes - and it's not always easy to tell the difference. The truth is often in the words her callers aren't saying - and it's only by listening hard and reaching out that Carrie can discover what's really going on. Working gruelling 12-hour shifts, the pace is furious, the pressure never lets up, and she finds herself juggling precious resources to try and help everyone in need. Whether it's a man intent on suicide, an acid attack victim, a baby in a bin, or a refugee trapped in a refrigerated lorry, the heart-stopping emergencies keep on coming: and Carrie always keeps her cool. But the relentless stress is taking its toll - and when her judgement is called into question over a patient who later died, she finds her work and her personal life colliding dangerously...

Robert Walter, alcalde de Ámsterdam, hombre carismático y popular, es también un gran observador: una carcajada apenas más sonora de lo habitual y un gesto ligeramente más íntimo de lo apropiado le bastan para concluir que su esposa, Sylvia, tiene una aventura con el concejal Maarten van Hoogstraten. A partir de ese momento, se convierte en un espía en su propia casa, observando cada movimiento, estudiando cada mirada absorta o sonrisa sospechosa, ocultando siempre su preocupación. A esta situación, de por sí tensa, se suma otra, totalmente inesperada: un mensaje lo advierte de que sus padres, casi centenarios, han tomado la decisión de inducir su propia muerte. Ante el derrumbe de los pilares que sostenían su vida, el alcalde mantiene la apariencia serena propia de los hombres de su cargo, aceptando el papel que le ha tocado en la función; sin embargo, cuando llegue el momento decisivo, quizá tenga que sacrificarlo todo para no perder a su familia, lo único que de verdad le importa. Con el humor satírico que lo caracteriza, una profundidad psicológica única y esa capacidad de plasmar el absurdo de la vida moderna, Herman Koch nos cuenta qué pasa por la cabeza de un hombre que prefiere vivir una mentira a enfrentarse a la verdadmás dolorosa.

Title: [Spanish] - El delfín Author: Mark Haddon Narrator: Diego Rousselon Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 33 minutes Release date: February 24, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Un homenaje a la maravillosa e infinita capacidad de reelaboración de mitos y leyendas, por el autor de El curioso incidente del perro a medianoche. En El delfín, Mark Haddon ha elaborado una recreación contemporánea de una de las tragedias menos conocidas de Shakespeare, Pericles, príncipe de Tiro, versión a su vez de la leyenda de Apolonio de Tiro.

Title: [Spanish] - La costilla de Adán (Subjefe Rocco Schiavone 2) Series: #2 of Subjefe Rocco Schiavone Author: Antonio Manzini Narrator: Javier Portugués (portu) Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 10 minutes Release date: February 24, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Las tramas de Manzini y la humanidad desbordante de su personaje, han convertido las historias de Schiavone en un éxito sin precedentes en Italia. Forzado a abandonar su querida Roma natal debido a ciertas irregularidades en el desempeño de su labor policial, Rocco Schiavone es enviado al valle de Aosta, que pese a estar situado en la península Itálica, para un meridional como él es lo más parecido a aterrizar en Marte. Rodeado de imponentes montañas, atenazado por un frío glacial y desconcertado ante el carácter circunspecto de los habitantes del lugar, Rocco encara su segundo caso con el mismo talante de siempre, irritable y transgresor hasta el límite de lo permisible, pero imbuido de un profundo sentido de la justicia. Cuando una mujer es hallada muerta en su casa y, en la penumbra, se extienden las secuelas de lo que en apariencia ha sido un robo violento, el subjefe Schiavone se resiste a la tentación de creer lo evidente. Una serie de coincidencias y divergencias, sumadas a la ambigüedad de algunos personajes, transformará gradualmente el escenario del crimen en una espesa niebla de misterios. Para despejarla, Schiavone pondrá en práctica su contundente método particular, basado en la intuición, la astucia, una inquebrantable lealtad a su gente de confianza y cierta tendencia a tomarse la justicia por su mano. Como ya se vislumbró en Pista negra, su primer caso, cada interrogatorio de Schiavone, espoleado por su característico mal humor y su irreductible tenacidad, aviva la curiosidad del lector. Así, la cohesión geométrica de las tramas de Manzini y el desasosiego de su personaje, de una humanidad desbordante, han convertido las historias de Schiavone en un éxito sin precedentes en Italia, un fenómeno que va camino de extenderse a todo el continente europeo. La crítica ha dicho... «En sólo dos novelas, Antonio Manzini ha hecho del subjefe de policía Rocco Schiavone un personaje inolvidable y que crea adicción.» Corriere della Sera «Antonio Manzini ha dibujado un personaje extraordinario.» Andrea Camilleri «Lo confieso: una vez que empecé la novela, no pude dejarla hasta haberla terminado. En más de una ocasión pensé que había descubierto al asesino, pero estaba equivocada.» La Repubblica «Un feliz retorno a la nieve. Más bien un eslalon que un descenso en línea recta, pero sin perder de vista nunca la meta.» La Stampa «Entrañables y escritas con un gran sentido del ritmo, las novelas de Manzini se leen de un tirón.» Il Piccolo]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/569546Thu, 24 Feb 2022 07:11:06 +0000Rafael AnkundingPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/569546 to listen full audiobooks.

Zufrieden, ihn jeden Tag bei der Arbeit zu sehen, meint sie, sie hätte noch ewig Zeit, ihn zu einem Date zu überreden. Diese Illusion zerschlägt sich schlagartig, als Phil ohne Vorwarnung seinen Job kündigt. Trost findet sie in der Welt des Pokerspiels, wo sie durch ihr Talent für Mathematik eine unverhoffte Glückssträhne hat. Damit zieht sie jedoch die Aufmerksamkeit zwielichtiger Gestalten auf sich. Phil Bukowski leidet jeden Tag unter der Vorstellung, für die Frau seiner Träume nicht gut genug zu sein. Auch wenn sie als Team unschlagbar sind, verwandelt er sich jedes Mal in ein nervöses Wrack, sobald ein Gespräch persönlicher wird.

Title: Defenestrate Author: Renee Branum Narrator: Zura Johnson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 17 minutes Release date: February 10, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. A wildly inventive, exhilarating debut narrated by a young woman meditating on her Czech ancestors' 'falling curse', her twin brother's fall from a window, and the malleable, breakable bonds keeping her family from falling apart. One thing that the city of Prague is famous for is throwing men out of windows. The word for this is defenestration. In 1895, Marta's great-great-grandfather Jirí was said to have given a gentle push to the back of a stonemason for having wronged him. The stonemason fell to his death and the family fled the Czech capital for the American Midwest, where they set up a new life. So begins the story of Marta and her brother Nick, deeply interwoven twins haunted by the mysterious curse that has plagued their family for centuries, one that has doomed them to suffer various types of falls. And when Nick falls out of a window and ends up seriously injured, Marta embarks on a heart-breaking quest to discover whether or not his fall was intentional, and to stop her family from falling apart. Grappling with family myths, sexual identity and mental illness, Defenestrate is a novel about the kinds of tales we tell ourselves and others in order to survive - and how those stories can both protect and betray us. From a major new voice in literary fiction, Defenestrate is a novel about belonging, and finding one's place in a world in which you are, quite literally, plummeting. © Renee Branum 2022 (P) Penguin Audio 2022]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/562578Thu, 10 Feb 2022 07:11:06 +0000Rafael AnkundingPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/562578 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Malasangre Author: Helena Tur Narrator: Laura Carrero Del Tío Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 14 minutes Release date: January 27, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Una tierra teñida por la sangre de cuatro niñas. Una joven dispuesta a arriesgar su vida por los demás. Una poderosa historia de amor. En la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, Henar, una joven huérfana, viaja hasta el Bierzo para trabajar en una granja de abejas. Coincidiendo con su llegada, comienzan a aparecer en la comarca niñas asesinadas, con un corte en el cuello y el cadáver sin sangre. En medio de este ambiente opresivo, Henar descubrirá el amor que no conoció en su infancia, al encariñarse de la hija de los señores, a la que cuida y protege como si fuera de su familia, y conocerá la pasión en los brazos de un atractivo buscavidas que huye por una estafa. Pero en un lugar inhóspito donde nadie es quien dice ser ¿es posible confiar en un extraño? La verdad está escrita en la sangre. «Pasaron dos minutos que se le hicieron eternos. No era una persona paciente y la necesidad de saber qué ocurría allí dentro era tan fuerte como su temor a entrar. Notaba cómo ambos impulsos luchaban entre sí: deseaba asomarse, pero no quería delatar su presencia. De pronto, se sintió perdida. Alguien, a su espalda, la agarró por la muñeca de la mano que empuñaba la navaja y se la retorció hasta que tuvo que soltarla, al tiempo que con la otra mano le tapaba la boca para impedir que gritara.

Title: [Spanish] - Malasangre Author: Helena Tur Narrator: Laura Carrero Del Tío Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 14 minutes Release date: January 27, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Una tierra teñida por la sangre de cuatro niñas. Una joven dispuesta a arriesgar su vida por los demás. Una poderosa historia de amor. En la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, Henar, una joven huérfana, viaja hasta el Bierzo para trabajar en una granja de abejas. Coincidiendo con su llegada, comienzan a aparecer en la comarca niñas asesinadas, con un corte en el cuello y el cadáver sin sangre. En medio de este ambiente opresivo, Henar descubrirá el amor que no conoció en su infancia, al encariñarse de la hija de los señores, a la que cuida y protege como si fuera de su familia, y conocerá la pasión en los brazos de un atractivo buscavidas que huye por una estafa. Pero en un lugar inhóspito donde nadie es quien dice ser ¿es posible confiar en un extraño? La verdad está escrita en la sangre. «Pasaron dos minutos que se le hicieron eternos. No era una persona paciente y la necesidad de saber qué ocurría allí dentro era tan fuerte como su temor a entrar. Notaba cómo ambos impulsos luchaban entre sí: deseaba asomarse, pero no quería delatar su presencia. De pronto, se sintió perdida. Alguien, a su espalda, la agarró por la muñeca de la mano que empuñaba la navaja y se la retorció hasta que tuvo que soltarla, al tiempo que con la otra mano le tapaba la boca para impedir que gritara. Henar entró en pánico al sentir el aliento de su agresor en el cuello. Tal vez esos fueran sus últimos instantes de vida.» Reseñas: «Helena Tur nos ofrece una joven protagonista apasionada que ansía conocer todo lo que le rodea y seguramente os cautivará por su fuerza e ímpetu.

Title: [Spanish] - Casa de verano con piscina Author: Herman Koch Narrator: Pablo Martínez Gugel Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 27 minutes Release date: January 27, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Casa de verano con piscina es una novela apasionante en la que nadie es del todo inocente, ni siquiera quienes parecen más frágiles e inofensivos. Autor de gran renombre en los Países Bajos -su anterior novela, La cena, fue Libro del Año y ganó el Premio del Público de ese país-, Herman Koch vuelve con otra estimulante historia de suspense donde una trama tejida a la perfección es el soporte para explorar sin ambages temas tan actuales como la ética profesional, la falsedad de las relaciones sociales o la difícil comunicación entre padres e hijos, así como los límites de la libertad sexual o el sentido de culpa en el seno de una sociedad permisiva y autocomplaciente. Próspero médico de cabecera en Ámsterdam, Marc Schlosser ejerce su profesión con cierta dosis de cinismo. Su nutrida clientela valora especialmente el tiempo que dedica a las consultas, pero esta aparente generosidad esconde unas intenciones menos nobles, que Marc disimula con habilidad. Cuando uno de sus pacientes, el famoso actor Ralph Meier, lo invita a pasar unos días de verano junto a su familia, Marc acepta pese a las reticencias de Caroline, su esposa, molesta por la arrogante vulgaridad de Ralph y su actitud de seductor irresistible. Así, los Schlosser y los Meier, con sus respectivos hijos adolescentes, compartirán con un maduro director de Hollywood y su novia, cuarenta años más joven, una casa con piscina a pocos kilómetros de una playa mediterránea. Los días transcurren con apacible monotonía, entre comidas, paseos, largas conversaciones de sobremesa, excesos con el alcohol y flirteos más o menos inocentes, hasta que una noche se produce un grave incidente que interrumpirá las vacaciones y cambiará para siempre la relación entre las dos familias. La crítica ha dicho... «Un impecable retrato del tiempo en que vivimos.» Vrij Nederland «El placer del suspense se une al cínico e irresistible sentido del humor de Koch.» Financieele Dagblad «El doctor Schlosser es aún más cínico que el doctor House y sostiene una visión extrema del evolucionismo darwiniano: a un hombre molesto para la especie se lo puede dejar morir sin contemplaciones.» La Repubblica «Aquellos a los que les entusiasmó La cena pueden lanzar un suspiro de alivio: Koch se mantiene fiel a sí mismo.» Ésta «El poder del autor radica en novelar el cinismo que invade nuestras relaciones sociales.» Io Donna «El lado oscuro de la familia contemporánea es el epicentro de esta novela.» Vanity Fair]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/565533Thu, 27 Jan 2022 07:11:06 +0000Rafael AnkundingPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/565533 to listen full audiobooks.

Leo knows that the Castorinis and the Montgomerys hate each other, but a marriage might just force these stubborn families to work together and blend their businesses for success. The deal is simple: Tessa and Leo marry, live together for six months, and then go their separate ways. Easy peasy.

Ambas pertenecen a mundos diferentes, pero todavía no son conscientes de ello. En el universo de juegos y secretos que comparten, no imaginan que su amistad terminará de forma abrupta por una traición que marcará su futuro. 1992 La vida de Isabel comienza a resquebrajarse tras la pérdida de Aurora, su madre, con quien tenía un vínculo especial. Mientras recoge sus pertenencias encuentra una vieja carta olvidada en el desván en la que descubre la verdadera identidad de su padre.

Una casa de estilo indiano llena de magnolias. El hallazgo de una antigua carta. Y el viaje a un pasado familiar marcado por la traición. 1924 Aurora y Cristina ríen con complicidad y sueñan en el jardín de una majestuosa casa de estilo indiano. Ambas pertenecen a mundos diferentes, pero todavía no son conscientes de ello. En el universo de juegos y secretos que comparten, no imaginan que su amistad terminará de forma abrupta por una traición que marcará su futuro. 1992 La vida de Isabel comienza a resquebrajarse tras la pérdida de Aurora, su madre, con quien tenía un vínculo especial. Mientras recoge sus pertenencias encuentra una vieja carta olvidada en el desván en la que descubre la verdadera identidad de su padre. Isabel deberá emprender un viaje al pasado de su familia en busca de respuestas para poder reencontrarse con sus raíces y reconciliarse con su madre. En ese viaje descubrirá un secreto que jamás imaginó: una gran pérdida y un gran amor. Nuria Quintana despliega audacia y estilo en una primera novela con alma de clásico. Una historia preciosista y emotiva que ahonda en los secretos de una familia, esos que quedan relegados al olvido. Amor, amistad, traición, orígenes se diluyen en un libro lleno de matices que habla de la luz y de la oscuridad de los seres humanos.

Ноа Флорес был зачат в ночь, когда призрачное шествие древних воинов явилось его родителям. Когда Ноа Флоресу исполнилось семь, его отметили благословением гавайские боги – по крайней мере, так долго считала его семья. Мальчик выпал за борт яхты в кишевшую акулами воду и, казалось, был обречен на гибель. Но одна из акул, осторожно держа Ноа в пасти, вернула его к борту судна. Что это, как не знамение богов, избравших его для своих целей? А позже у мальчика появляются особые способности... Но у божественных подарков частенько есть трагическая цена, и заплатить ее придется всей семье. Уошбёрн переплетает старые мифы с реальностью нашего времени, создавая удивительный роман, полный солнечного и яростного духа Гавайев, их изумрудных лесов и богатых культурных традиций. Пресса о книге: «Проза, которая может быть хриплой и грубой в одном абзаце, а в следующем – мягкой и нежной. С большой страстью писатель призывает нас увидеть Гавайи во всем их разнообразии: как родину гордого народа, древних богов и пугающих духов, но в то же время как страну разрушающихся городов, бедности и семейных драм. В этой книге тайна и красота в каждой строке» The New York Times Book Review «Этот блестящий дебютный роман буквально сжимает вас в своих челюстях, погружает в гавайские воды и наконец, освобождает, и вы хватаете ртом воздух, потрясенные и изменившиеся. Истинная магия этой книги состоит в том, как гармонично Уошбёрн превращает гавайские легенды в семейный эпос. В этой прозе есть нечто завораживающее, яростное, живое» O, The Oprah Magazine Внимание!

Madre en euskera, o quizá la tercera persona del presente del verbo amar. Pero también las memorias de un joven abogado que descubre que la literatura ni siquiera puede embellecer las miserias de la vida -la precariedad, el desamor, o el duelo-. «Nuestros padres nos mandaban a un colegio concertado, y después a una universidad privada sin saber muy bien por qué. Nos ponían en manos de brujos que conocían los secretos del éxito. Un máster: la palabra mágica de los chamanes. De esta forma, confiando en una alquimia que no conocían, ahorraban durante sus vidas, desgastaban sus rodillas, sus nudillos, sus zapatos, y nos martilleaban siempre con la misma frase: que no íbamos a heredar nada salvo los estudios que nos pagaban.» El título de este libro alude a la voz euskera que significa «madre», y también a la tercera persona del presente del verbo amar, y es justamente en esa intersección donde José Ignacio Carnero despliega una narración elegante y llena de belleza alrededor de la enfermedad de un ser querido, de las expectativas cumplidas e incumplidas de toda una generación, y de la memoria familiar. O como alerta esta obra a su inicio: «No es que todas las familias felices se parezcan las unas a las otras, sino que, como han estado tan ocupadas siendo felices, no han encontrado el momento de ponerse a escribir sobre sí mismas. Es el olvido, y no la felicidad, el que hace a esas familias iguales».

Title: [Spanish] - El abanico de seda Author: Lisa See Narrator: Irene Montalà Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 17 minutes Release date: December 16, 2021 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Esta novela es una ventana a un mundo asombroso, lejano y desconocido, un retrato vivo de la vida de unas mujeres extraordinarias que dejará en el lector una impresión difícil de olvidar. En una remota provincia de China, las mujeres crearon hace siglos un lenguaje secreto para comunicarse libremente entre sí: el nu shu. Aisladas en sus casas y sometidas a la férrea autoridad masculina, el nu shu era su única vía de escape. Mediante sus mensajes, escritos o bordados en telas, abanicos y otros objetos, daban testimonio de un mundo tan sofisticado como implacable. El año 2002, la autora de esta novela viajó a la provincia de Huan, cuna de esta milenaria escritura fonética, para estudiarla en profundidad. Su prolongada estancia le permitió recoger testimonios de mujeres que la conocían, así como de la última hablante de nu shu, la nonagenaria Yang Huanyi. A partir de aquellas investigaciones, Lisa See concibió esta conmovedora historia sobre la amistad entre dos mujeres, Lirio Blanco y Flor de Nieve. Como prueba de su buena estrella, la pequeña Lirio Blanco, hija de una humilde familia de campesinos, será hermanada con Flor de Nieve, de muy diferente ascendencia social. En una ceremonia ancestral, ambas se convierten en laotong -«mi otro yo» o «alma gemela»-, un vínculo que perdurará toda la vida. Así pues, a lo largo de los años, Lirio Blanco y Flor de Nieve se comunicarán gracias a ese lenguaje secreto, compartiendo sus más íntimos pensamientos y emociones, y consolándose de las penalidades del matrimonio y la maternidad. El nu shu las mantendrá unidas, hasta que un error de interpretación amenazará con truncar su profunda amistad.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/562956Thu, 16 Dec 2021 07:11:06 +0000Rafael AnkundingPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/562956 to listen full audiobooks.

Ésta es la guerra para destruirla. Axel Barrón, descendiente de Simón Barrón -protagonista de Secreto 1910 y Secreto 1929-, inicia la aventura más escalofriante de nuestros tiempos: una investigación de alto impacto sobre la red de élite internacional que ha estado involucrada en conspiraciones tan diversas como el asesinato de John F. Kennedy en 1963 y el derrumbe de las Torres Gemelas en 2001, el estallido de la crisis de 2008 y las elecciones presidenciales de México en 2012. Algunos la conocen como Gobierno Invisible o Nuevo Orden Mundial, y en esta novela se descubre como el Secreto R. Desfilan en la obra personajes reales como Vicente Fox, Enrique Peña Nieto, Barack Obama, George Bush y sus antecesores, así como hombres clave de los organismos que controlan la política global (fabricantes de armamento, magnates del petróleo y las cabezas ocultas de la inteligencia), cuyos brazos se extienden hacia México con alcances insospechados en nuestra historia. Secreto R es una novela de acción, misterio y suspenso basada en los acontecimientos verídicos más críticos que han moldeado el mundo actual. En nombre de todos nosotros, Axel Barrón investiga tenazmente los orígenes y los efectos de una nueva conspiración, y nos adentra en una realidad que, aunque no vemos, existe y decide gran parte de nuestras vidas.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/561442Thu, 09 Dec 2021 07:11:06 +0000Rafael AnkundingPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/561442 to listen full audiobooks.

Ésta es la guerra para destruirla. Axel Barrón, descendiente de Simón Barrón -protagonista de Secreto 1910 y Secreto 1929-, inicia la aventura más escalofriante de nuestros tiempos: una investigación de alto impacto sobre la red de élite internacional que ha estado involucrada en conspiraciones tan diversas como el asesinato de John F. Kennedy en 1963 y el derrumbe de las Torres Gemelas en 2001, el estallido de la crisis de 2008 y las elecciones presidenciales de México en 2012. Algunos la conocen como Gobierno Invisible o Nuevo Orden Mundial, y en esta novela se descubre como el Secreto R. Desfilan en la obra personajes reales como Vicente Fox, Enrique Peña Nieto, Barack Obama, George Bush y sus antecesores, así como hombres clave de los organismos que controlan la política global (fabricantes de armamento, magnates del petróleo y las cabezas ocultas de la inteligencia), cuyos brazos se extienden hacia México con alcances insospechados en nuestra historia. Secreto R es una novela de acción, misterio y suspenso basada en los acontecimientos verídicos más críticos que han moldeado el mundo actual. En nombre de todos nosotros, Axel Barrón investiga tenazmente los orígenes y los efectos de una nueva conspiración, y nos adentra en una realidad que, aunque no vemos, existe y decide gran parte de nuestras vidas.]]>305falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/spanish-secreto-vaticano-serie-secreto-4-by-leopoldo-mendivil-lopez--65305266https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/561447 to listen full audiobooks.

Por primera vez en 600 años un sumo pontífice renuncia a su cargo en vida. Benedicto XVI asegura que su decisión fue tomada debido a su avanzada edad. La realidad es que recibió amenazas de muerte. Posteriormente, Pío del Rosario es reclutado para la misión de inteligencia más arriesgada y trascendente que se haya llevado a cabo dentro del Vaticano: descubrir quién forzó la renuncia de Benedicto XVI, y quién y por qué atentó contra la vida de su antecesor Juan Pablo II. La raíz de este complot amenaza la vida del nuevo papa Francisco, a quien sus enemigos llaman 'antipapa' y 'masón'. Esta intriga catapulta a Pío del Rosario a infiltrarse con los hombres cercanos al papa, hacia el origen mismo del Banco del Vaticano y del propio cristianismo. ¿Qué dinero y qué intereses establecieron ese banco desde un principio para convertirlo en un organismo capaz de controlar a los mismos papas y a toda la Iglesia? Lo que descubre Pío es que una entidad del gobierno de Estados Unidos utiliza al Vaticano como una tubería 'blindada' para realizar operaciones encubiertas y financiación del terrorismo. Secreto Vaticano es el thriller. La información es real. Masones, Legionarios de Cristo, agentes de la cia, nazis sobrevivientes encubiertos, ¿quién está detrás de esta aterradora telaraña donde el creyente es el último al que se le informa lo que está pasando?]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/561447Thu, 09 Dec 2021 07:11:06 +0000Rafael AnkundingPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/561447 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Esperando a mister Bojangles Author: Olivier Bourdeaut Narrator: Pablo Martínez Gugel, Eugenio Barona Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 28 minutes Release date: December 9, 2021 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Una fábula luminosa sobre una pareja fascinada con bailes, cócteles, manjares y libros, contada a través de los sorprendidos ojos de un niño. La novela en que se basa la nueva película de Régis Roinsard, protagonizada por Romain Duris y Virginie Efira Ante la mirada absorta de su hijo, una pareja embriagada de amor baila al son de Mr. Bojangles, de Nina Simone. La escena, mágica, vertiginosa, sólo es un recuerdo más de los muchos que brotan de la memoria del protagonista de la historia, que rememora una infancia marcada por la excentricidad de unos padres adscritos a un estilo de vida ajeno a toda convención social. El padre, la vitalidad hecha persona, no concibe una vida sosegada y monótona -hasta el punto de «rebautizar» a su mujer con un nombre diferente cada día-, y la madre, capaz de interpretar todo tipo de papeles con la convicción del ilusionista más avezado, hace de la rutina familiar una fiesta perpetua, un espacio donde sólo caben el gozo, la fantasía y la amistad. Sin embargo, poco a poco, empieza a entreverse que este universo lleno de poesía, de quimeras, de momentos maravillosos, se asienta sobre un precario sentido de la realidad, y que, cuando las canciones y los sueños toquen a su fin, el despertar puede ser muy doloroso. La crítica ha dicho... «Recordad el nombre de Olivier Bourdeaut. Con su prosa musical, hace sonreír a las lágrimas y llorar a la alegría. Merece todo el éxito que le va a llover por esta fábula singular y conmovedora.» Jérôme Garcin, Le Nouvel Observateur «Una escritura aparentemente simple, pero en realidad rica en detalles, repleta de fórmulas atrevidas, de auténticos hallazgos estilísticos. Y el lector también participa de la fiesta.» Bernard Pivot, Le Journal du Dimanche «Hacía mucho tiempo que no leía algo tan delicioso, con semejante encanto.» Pierre Assouline, La République des Livres «Olivier Bourdeaut nos presenta a una familia en la que, bajo la extravagancia, late la tragedia. Un magnífico relato de amor y desesperación.» Valérie Trierweiler, Paris Match «La fantasía es aquí la reina absoluta.

Anna Walsh está totalmente destrozada, física y emocionalmente. Cuando estaba tumbada en el sofá de casa de sus padres en Dublín, la obsesionaba una sola cosa: volver a Nueva York, la ciudad que para ella significa los mejores amigos, el trabajo más maravilloso del mundo y, sobre todo, significa su marido, Aidan. Pero la vuelta a Manhattan no aclara nada en la vida de Anna Walsh: no solo lleva consigo sus cicatrices sino que, aparentemente, ya no puede contar con Aidan. Quizá Anna debería dejar de buscar, pero ¿podrá? Un grupo de amigos encantadores pero nada normales, una revelación totalmente inesperada, dos nacimientos y una boda extrañísima ayudarán a proporcionar a Anna lo que busca y a cambiar su vida para siempre. Reseña: «¿Hay alguien ahí fuera? es su mejor trabajo hasta la fecha, en el que muestra gran virtuosismo a la hora de mezclar luces y sombras, lo trágico y lo cómico, como pocos escritores son capaces.» Irish Times]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/558625Thu, 25 Nov 2021 07:11:06 +0000Rafael AnkundingPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/558625 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - ¿Hay alguien ahí fuera? (Hermanas Walsh 4) Series: #4 of Hermanas Walsh Author: Marian Keyes Narrator: Sofía García Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 32 minutes Release date: November 25, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 1 of Total 1 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Anna Walsh protagoniza esta cuarta novela de la saga de la peculiar y entrañable «Familia Walsh». Anna Walsh está totalmente destrozada, física y emocionalmente. Cuando estaba tumbada en el sofá de casa de sus padres en Dublín, la obsesionaba una sola cosa: volver a Nueva York, la ciudad que para ella significa los mejores amigos, el trabajo más maravilloso del mundo y, sobre todo, significa su marido, Aidan. Pero la vuelta a Manhattan no aclara nada en la vida de Anna Walsh: no solo lleva consigo sus cicatrices sino que, aparentemente, ya no puede contar con Aidan. Quizá Anna debería dejar de buscar, pero ¿podrá? Un grupo de amigos encantadores pero nada normales, una revelación totalmente inesperada, dos nacimientos y una boda extrañísima ayudarán a proporcionar a Anna lo que busca y a cambiar su vida para siempre. Reseña: «¿Hay alguien ahí fuera? es su mejor trabajo hasta la fecha, en el que muestra gran virtuosismo a la hora de mezclar luces y sombras, lo trágico y lo cómico, como pocos escritores son capaces.» Irish Times]]>305falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/german-burgerin-aller-zeiten-die-schonaus-1913-1933-by-heike-wolf--65305262https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/560202 to listen full audiobooks.

Kaiserreich, Weltkrieg, Revolution und Inflation, Diktatur und Besatzung bilden den Hintergrund für die Erlebnisse, Freuden und Probleme der Schönaus. Band 1: Während Charlotte ihren achtzigsten Geburtstag plant und gebannt die Demonstrationen und Umwälzungen in der DDR verfolgt, denkt sie zurück an ihre Kindheit und Jugendzeit in Leipzig. Als Tochter der großbürgerlichen Familie Schönau wurde sie dort 1909 geboren und wächst mit zwei Geschwistern auf. Die wohlbehütete Kindheit wird durch den Ersten Weltkrieg erschüttert und auch in den turbulenten Jahren der Weimarer Republik erleben die Schönaus, wie sehr sich das Leben gewandelt hat. Mitten in einer politisch instabilen Zeit machen die drei Schönau-Kinder ihre ersten Schritte ins Erwachsenenleben.

During the week, with her father away in the city, Mary Claire feels like every other child - but on Fridays, everything changes. On Friday mornings, she rises onto her tiptoes and wraps her nightgown tightly around her legs to silence the swooshing sound she loves. She slowly becomes invisible. Hiding is how she remains safe; it's how she protects her mother. At ten years old, Mary Claire begs God to take her father away, but someone else has plans for him, and those plans will change everything. Years later, Claire Stanton struggles with the secrets of her past, secrets she didn't know existed, secrets her mother holds tightly, right to the very end. After Claire's daughter becomes sullen and angry, she fears history may be repeating itself. With this new information taunting her, she takes matters into her own hands and vows to make the abuser pay, no matter who she destroys in the process. Life is complicated. Secrets are destructive.

Title: A Lie Someone Told You About Yourself Author: Peter Ho Davies Narrator: Christopher Ryan Grant Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 33 minutes Release date: January 5, 2021 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: “There are some stories that require as much courage to write as they do art. Peter Ho Davies’s achingly honest, searingly comic portrait of fatherhood is just such a story...The world needs more stories like this one, more of this kind of courage, more of this kind of love.” —Sigrid Nunez, National Book Award-winning author of The Friend A heartbreaking, soul-baring novel about the repercussions of choice that “will strike a resonant chord with parents everywhere,” (starred Kirkus) from the award-winning author of The Welsh Girl and The Fortunes A Lie Someone Told You About Yourself traces the complex consequences of one of the most personal yet public, intimate yet political experiences a family can have: to have a child, and conversely, the decision not to have a child. A first pregnancy is interrupted by test results at once catastrophic and uncertain. A second pregnancy ends in a fraught birth, a beloved child, the purgatory of further tests—and questions that reverberate down the years.   When does sorrow turn to shame? When does love become labor? When does chance become choice? When does a diagnosis become destiny? And when does fact become fiction?   This spare, graceful narrative chronicles the flux of parenthood, marriage, and the day-to-day practice of loving someone. As challenging as it is vulnerable, as furious as it is tender, as touching as it is darkly comic, Peter Ho Davies's new novel is an unprecedented depiction of fatherhood.

Title: Your Story, My Story: A Novel Author: Connie Palmen Narrator: Guy Mott Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 46 minutes Release date: January 1, 2021 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: From the award-winning author of The Friendship comes a shattering, brilliantly inventive novel based on the volatile true love story of literary icons Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes. In 1963 Sylvia Plath took her own life in her London flat. Her death was the culmination of a brief, brilliant life lived in the shadow of clinical depression—a condition exacerbated by her tempestuous relationship with mercurial poet Ted Hughes. The ensuing years saw Plath rise to martyr status while Hughes was cast as the cause of her suicide, his infidelity at the heart of her demise. For decades, Hughes never bore witness to the truth of their marriage—one buried beneath a mudslide of apocryphal stories, gossip, sensationalism, and myth. Until now. In this mesmerizing fictional work, Connie Palmen tells his side of the story, previously untold, delivered in Ted Hughes’s own uncompromising voice. A brutal and lyrical confessional, Your Story, My Story paints an indelible picture of their seven-year relationship—the soaring highs and profound lows of star-crossed soul mates bedeviled by their personal demons. It will forever change the way we think about these two literary icons.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/564878Fri, 01 Jan 2021 07:11:06 +0000Rafael AnkundingPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/564878 to listen full audiobooks.

For Emma’s three best college friends, for a beloved former teacher, and for Haley, the chilling trinket is more than a clue in a resurrected cold case. It’s a trigger. Then a woman is attacked during an open house, and the connections between the two crimes, ten winters apart, begin to surface. So do the secrets that run as deep and dark as the currents in this quiet river town.]]>185falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/memories-in-the-drift-a-novel-by-melissa-payne--65305256https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/559241 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Memories in the Drift: A Novel Author: Melissa Payne Narrator: Karen Peakes Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 41 minutes Release date: December 1, 2020 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Melissa Payne, bestselling author of The Secrets of Lost Stones, returns with another haunting and hopeful novel about redemption, the power of memory, and a woman’s will to reclaim her life. My name is Claire. I’m thirty-six years old. It’s September. I know what I’m doing and why I am here…for now. Ten years ago, Claire Hines lost her unborn child—and her short-term memory—following a heartrending tragedy. With notebooks, calendars, to-do lists, fractured pieces of the past, and her father’s support, Claire makes it through each day, hour by hour, with relative confidence. She also has a close-knit community of friends in the remote Alaskan town where she teaches guitar to the local children. It’s there, in the reminders. As determined as Claire is to regain all that’s disappeared, she’d prefer to live without some memories of her before life—especially those of her mother, Alice, who abandoned her, and Tate, the ex-boyfriend who broke her heart. But when Alice and Tate return from the past, there’ll be so much more for Claire to relive. And to discover for the very first time. Through healing, forgiveness, and second chances, Claire may realize that what’s most important might not be re-creating the person she was, but embracing the possibilities of being the person she is.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/559241Tue, 01 Dec 2020 07:11:06 +0000Rafael AnkundingPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/559241 to listen full audiobooks.

Ninety-three-year-old Violet Swan has spent a lifetime translating tragedy and hardship into art, becoming famous for her abstract paintings, which evoke tranquility, innocence, and joy. For nearly a century Violet has lived a peaceful, private life of painting on the coast of Oregon. The “business of Violet” is run by her only child, Francisco, and his wife, Penny. But shortly before Violet's death, an earthquake sets a series of events in motion, and her deeply hidden past begins to resurface.

Now: On the verge of marriage and a fresh start, thirty-eight year old Charlie Lewis finds that he can’t stop thinking about the past, and the events of one particular summer. Then: Sixteen-year-old Charlie Lewis is the kind of boy you don’t remember in the school photograph. He’s failing his classes. At home he looks after his depressed father—when surely it should be the other way round—and if he thinks about the future at all, it is with a kind of dread. But when Fran Fisher bursts into his life and despite himself, Charlie begins to hope. In order to spend time with Fran, Charlie must take on a challenge that could lose him the respect of his friends and require him to become a different person. He must join the Company. And if the Company sounds like a cult, the truth is even more appalling: The price of hope, it seems, is Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet learned and performed in a theater troupe over the course of a summer. Now: Charlie can’t go the altar without coming to terms with his relationship with Fran, his friends, and his former self.

Title: All This Could Be Yours Author: Jami Attenberg Narrator: Therese Plummer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 45 minutes Release date: October 22, 2019 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: “All hail Jami Attenberg, the queen of dysfunctional families.” —Refinery29 “Big Little Lies meets Succession in the scorching heat of the Big Easy . . . Money, power and family are touched upon through Attenberg’s emotional, humorous and sharply written accounts.” —Parade “This is how you write a very good novel about a very bad man.” —New York Times From critically acclaimed New York Times best-selling author Jami Attenberg comes a novel of family secrets: think the drama of Big Little Lies set in the heat of a New Orleans summer “If I know why they are the way they are, then maybe I can learn why I am the way I am,” says Alex Tuchman of her parents. Now that her father is on his deathbed, Alex—a strong-headed lawyer, devoted mother, and loving sister--feels she can finally unearth the secrets of who Victor is and what he did over the course of his life and career. (A power-hungry real estate developer, he is, by all accounts, a bad man.) She travels to New Orleans to be with her family, but mostly to interrogate her tightlipped mother, Barbra. As Barbra fends off Alex’s unrelenting questions, she reflects on her tumultuous life with Victor. Meanwhile Gary, Alex’s brother, is incommunicado, trying to get his movie career off the ground in Los Angeles. And Gary’s wife, Twyla, is having a nervous breakdown, buying up all the lipstick in drug stores around New Orleans and bursting into crying fits. Dysfunction is at its peak. As each family member grapples with Victor’s history, they must figure out a way to move forward—with one another, for themselves, and for the sake of their children. ALL THIS COULD BE YOURS is a timely, piercing exploration of what it means to be caught in the web of a toxic man who abused his power; it shows how those webs can tangle a family for generations and what it takes to—maybe, hopefully—break free. With her signature “sparkling prose” (Marie Claire) and incisive wit, Jami Attenberg deftly explores one of the most important subjects of our age.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/568997Tue, 22 Oct 2019 07:11:06 +0000Rafael AnkundingPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/568997 to listen full audiobooks.
