Emma Fedor’s “wonderful, haunting, and original” (Katherine Faulkner, author of Greenwich Park) debut explores the fierceness of first love and how far one woman will go to learn the truth about her family. When Cara and Brendan first meet, she’s fresh out of college, recovering from the recent death of her mother, and spending time on Martha’s Vineyard while trying to figure out her next steps. She’s swept away by Brendan’s humor and charm, and intoxicated by his thrilling, dangerous secret: he can breathe underwater. Able to stay beneath the waves for longer than should be possible, Brendan reveals that he is part of a secret experimental unit of the US Special Forces. And Cara, struck by the power of his conviction, by his unstoppable charisma, and by the evidence before her, believes him. Their summer romance turns serious. Then Cara gets pregnant. When their son, Micah, is born, she’s sure their happy ending is underway. Still, she’s thrown by Brendan’s dramatic moods, his unexplained disappearances, and the weight of his secrets. Cara is determined to stay strong for her young family—until he and baby Micah vanish, leaving her desolate and alone and questioning everything she once thought was true. Five years later, Cara is still struggling to move forward, married to another man and trying to rebuild her life, when a local fisherman announces he’s spotted two people—one of them a small child—treading water in Nantucket Sound, far from any vessels and miles from shore. The news rekindles Cara’s never-abandoned hope that her little boy may still be alive. As she fights to untangle delusion from reality, and revisits a past she’s worked hard to reconcile, Cara is determined to learn the truth about her lost love and finally find her son in this “book you won’t be able to put down” (Jessica Anya Blau, author of Mary Jane).]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/556506Tue, 07 Mar 2023 07:11:07 +0000Eileen KoeppPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/556506 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Estado del malestar Author: Nina Lykke, Ana Flecha Marco (translator) Narrator: Sara Gómez Alonso Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 32 minutes Release date: September 28, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Galardonada con el Premio Brage, el más importante galardón literario de Noruega, y la novela más vendida en su país en 2019, Estado del malestar ha supuesto la consagración de Nina Lykke como una de las grandes escritoras de su país gracias a la ironía con la que critica el aparente paraíso de los países nórdicos. Estado del malestar es una sátira de la insoportable levedad de la clase media surgida al calor del Estado del bienestar, vista por una mujer privilegiada que vive en uno de los países más ricos del mundo y, sin embargo, se halla siempre al borde de un ataque de nervios. Elin es una doctora muy profesional y competente, pero está cansada de ser buena, de ser una esposa y madre ejemplar, de atender a pacientes que se autodiagnostican en Google y buscan curas a males imaginarios. Bebe casi una botella al día del vino más caro y ve series de televisión, mientras su marido Axel se inscribe en una carrera de esquí tras otra. Hasta que un día, por error, Elin envía una solicitud de amistad a Bjørn, su novio de juventud, poniéndolo todo patas arriba. Acorralada por sus dilemas, Elin abandona su casa y se instala a vivir en su consulta. Sabe que en algún momento tendrá que salir de su madriguera y afrontar la realidad, pero permanece allí en una especie de estado catatónico. Desde una esquina la interpela el esqueleto de plástico Tore, una voz en off mordaz y socarrona que le señala las verdades que no se atreve a reconocer. 'Considerar a Elin como un mero estereotipo de la sociedad de bienestar noruega sería empequeñecer a este personaje rico en matices de cuyo fino humor gozará cualquier lector.

Every family has its fault lines, and when Maggie gets a call from the ER in Maryland where her older sister lives, the cracks start to appear. Ginny, her sugar-loving and diabetic older sister with intellectual disabilities, has overdosed on strawberry Jell-O. Maggie knows Ginny really can’t live on her own, so she brings her sister and her occasionally vicious dog to live near her in upstate New York. Their other sister, Betsy, is against the idea but as a professional surfer, she is conveniently thousands of miles away. Thus, Maggie’s life as a caretaker begins. It will take all of her dark humor and patience, already spread thin after a separation, raising two boys, freelancing, an ex who just won’t go away, and starting a dating life, to deal with Ginny’s diapers, sugar addiction, porn habit, and refusal to cooperate. “The Frederick sisters will have you laughing out loud—often through tears—in this roller coaster ride of a novel that explores what it means to be family” (Tracey Lange, New York Times bestselling author).]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/552934Tue, 20 Sep 2022 07:11:07 +0000Eileen KoeppPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/552934 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Marsh Queen Author: Virginia Hartman Narrator: Cassandra Campbell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 22 minutes Release date: September 6, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: For fans of Where the Crawdads Sing, this “marvelous debut” (Alice McDermott, National Book Award–winning author of The Ninth Hour) follows a Washington, DC, artist as she faces her past and the secrets held in the waters of Florida’s lush swamps and wetlands. Loni Murrow is an accomplished bird artist at the Smithsonian who loves her job. But when she receives a call from her younger brother summoning her back home to help their obstinate mother recover after an accident, Loni’s neat, contained life in Washington, DC, is thrown into chaos, and she finds herself exactly where she does not want to be. Going through her mother’s things, Loni uncovers scraps and snippets of a time in her life she would prefer to forget—a childhood marked by her father Boyd’s death by drowning. When Loni comes across a single, cryptic note from a stranger—“There are some things I have to tell you about Boyd’s death”—she begins a dangerous quest to discover the truth, all the while struggling to reconnect with her mother and reconcile with her brother and his wife. To make matters worse, she meets a man whose attractive simple charm threatens to pull her back towards everything she’s worked to escape.

Loni Murrow is an accomplished bird artist at the Smithsonian who loves her job. But when she receives a call from her younger brother summoning her back home to help their obstinate mother recover after an accident, Loni’s neat, contained life in Washington, DC, is thrown into chaos, and she finds herself exactly where she does not want to be. Going through her mother’s things, Loni uncovers scraps and snippets of a time in her life she would prefer to forget—a childhood marked by her father Boyd’s death by drowning. When Loni comes across a single, cryptic note from a stranger—“There are some things I have to tell you about Boyd’s death”—she begins a dangerous quest to discover the truth, all the while struggling to reconnect with her mother and reconcile with her brother and his wife. To make matters worse, she meets a man whose attractive simple charm threatens to pull her back towards everything she’s worked to escape. Torn between worlds—her professional accomplishments in Washington, and the small town of her childhood—Loni must decide whether to delve beneath the surface into murky half-truths and avenge the past or bury it, once and for all. “Fans of Delia Owens and Lauren Groff will find this a wonderful and absorbing read” (Suzanne Feldman, author of Sisters of the Great War).]]>185falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/didn-t-nobody-give-a-shit-what-happened-to-carlotta-by-james-hannaham--65305439https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/551625 to listen full audiobooks.

Carlotta Mercedes has been misunderstood her entire life. When she was pulled into a robbery gone wrong, she still went by the name she’d grown up with in Fort Greene, Brooklyn—before it gentrified. But not long after her conviction, she took the name Carlotta and began to live as a woman, an embrace of selfhood that prison authorities rejected, keeping Carlotta trapped in an all-male cell block, abused by both inmates and guards, and often placed in solitary. In her fifth appearance before the parole board, Carlotta is at last granted conditional freedom and returns to a much-changed New York City. Over a whirlwind Fourth of July weekend, she struggles to reconcile with the son she left behind, to reunite with a family reluctant to accept her true identity, and to avoid any minor parole infraction that might get her consigned back to lockup. Written with the same astonishing verve of Delicious Foods, which dazzled critics and readers alike, Didn’t Nobody Give a Shit What Happened to Carlotta sweeps the reader through seemingly every street of Brooklyn, much as Joyce’s Ulysses does through Dublin. The novel sings with brio and ambition, delivering a fantastically entertaining read and a cast of unforgettable characters even as it challenges us to confront the glaring injustices of a prison system that continues to punish people long after their time has been served.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/551625Tue, 30 Aug 2022 07:11:07 +0000Eileen KoeppPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/551625 to listen full audiobooks.

Reminiscent of Gabriela Garcia’s Of Women and Salt, Leah Franqui brings us an engrossing, deeply personal novel with a mystery at its heart as a daughter returns to Puerto Rico to search for her troubled father, who has gone missing after Hurricane Maria.  From the outside, Elena Vega’s life appears to be an easy one: the only child of two professional parents, private school, NYU. But her twenties are aimless and lacking in connection. Something has always been amiss in her life: her father, the brilliant but deeply troubled Santiago Vega.  Born in rural Puerto Rico, Santiago arrived in New York as a small child. His harsh, mercurial father returned to the island, leaving Santiago to be raised by his mentally ill mother and his formidable grandmother. An outstanding student, he followed scholarships to Stanford, then Yale Law, marrying Elena’s mother along the way. Santiago is the shining star of his migrant family—the one who made it out and struck it rich. But he is a haunted man, plagued by trauma, bipolar disorder, and alcoholism. He’s lost contact with Elena over the years and returned to San Juan to wrestle his demons alone. Then Hurricane Maria strikes, and Santiago vanishes. Desperate to know what happened to the father she once adored, Elena returns to Puerto Rico, a place she loved as a child but hasn’t seen in years. There she must unravel the truth about who her father is, crisscrossing the storm-swept island and reaching deep into his family tree to find relatives she’s never met, each of whom seems to possess a clue about Santiago’s fate. A compelling mystery unfolds, as Elena is reunited with family, and with a place she loved and lost—the island of Puerto Rico, which is itself a character in this book. It’s a story of connection, migration, striving, love, and loss, illuminated by humor and affection, written by a novelist at the height of her gifts.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/551785Tue, 09 Aug 2022 07:11:07 +0000Eileen KoeppPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/551785 to listen full audiobooks.

Fifteen years later, on the eve of America’s entry into World War II, Maria is an associate producer at Mercury Pictures, trying to keep her personal and professional lives from falling apart.

You can have everything, and still not have enough.  Cassie Quinn may only be twenty-three, but she knows a few things. One: money can’t buy happiness, but it’s certainly better to have it. Two: family matters most. Three: her younger brother Billy is not a rapist. When Billy, a junior at Princeton, is arrested for assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie races home to Manhattan to join forces with her big brother Nate and their parents, Lawrence and Eleanor. The Quinns scramble to hire the best legal minds money can buy, but Billy fits the all-too-familiar sex-offender profile—white, athletic, and privileged—that makes headlines and sways juries. Meanwhile, Cassie struggles to understand why Billy’s ex Diana would go this far, even if the breakup was painful. And she knows how the end of first love can destroy someone: Her own years-long affair with a powerful, charismatic man left her shattered, and she’s only recently regained her footing.    As reporters converge outside their Upper East Side landmark building, the Quinns gird themselves for a media-saturated trial, and Cassie vows she’ll do whatever it takes to save Billy. But what if that means exposing her own darkest secrets to the world?

You can have everything, and still not have enough.  Cassie Quinn may only be twenty-three, but she knows a few things. One: money can’t buy happiness, but it’s certainly better to have it. Two: family matters most. Three: her younger brother Billy is not a rapist. When Billy, a junior at Princeton, is arrested for assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie races home to Manhattan to join forces with her big brother Nate and their parents, Lawrence and Eleanor. The Quinns scramble to hire the best legal minds money can buy, but Billy fits the all-too-familiar sex-offender profile—white, athletic, and privileged—that makes headlines and sways juries. Meanwhile, Cassie struggles to understand why Billy’s ex Diana would go this far, even if the breakup was painful. And she knows how the end of first love can destroy someone: Her own years-long affair with a powerful, charismatic man left her shattered, and she’s only recently regained her footing.    As reporters converge outside their Upper East Side landmark building, the Quinns gird themselves for a media-saturated trial, and Cassie vows she’ll do whatever it takes to save Billy. But what if that means exposing her own darkest secrets to the world? Lightning-paced and psychologically astute as it rockets toward an explosive ending, When We Were Bright and Beautiful is a dazzling novel that asks: who will pay the price when the truth is revealed?]]>305falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-lost-kings-a-novel-by-tyrell-johnson--65305352https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/556147 to listen full audiobooks.

'I am sick of the future. Up to here with the future. I don't want anything to do with it; don't want it near me.' This is a story about now. It's a story about a woman, and the family she has made for herself. It's about the dramas unfolding on our screens and behind the curtains of our homes in a world more turbulent than any of us could have imagined. But it's also about before. And what comes next. It's about the flames that have burned for centuries beneath the cracks that are opening now. About the Ancient Greeks, who sacrificed and bargained with their Gods; about prophets and oracles, tarot cards and tea leaves, and how time and certainty and, sometimes, those we love can slip away.

Extraordinary, electrifying, irreverent and heartbreaking, Delphi is a mesmerising story of our pasts, our presents and our futures, and how we keep on living in a world that is ever-more uncertain and absurd.

Stott is astute on the use of stories to control others and maintain power. . . . Female defiance blazes through as her women reclaim this brutal period from the men.”—The Telegraph The year is 500 AD. Sisters Isla and Blue live in the shadows of the Ghost City, the abandoned ruins of the once-glorious mile-wide Roman settlement Londinium on the bank of the River Thames. But the small island they call home is also a place of exile for Isla, Blue, and their father, a legendary blacksmith accused of using dark magic to make his firetongue swords—formidable blades that cannot be broken—and cast out from the community. When he dies suddenly, the sisters find themselves facing enslavement by the local warlord and his cruel, power-hungry son. Their only option is to escape to the Ghost City, where they discover an underworld of rebel women living secretly amid the ruins. But if Isla and Blue are to survive the men who hunt them, and protect their new community, they will need to use all their skill and ingenuity—as well as the magic of their foremothers—to fight back.  With an intimate yet cinematic scope, Dark Earth re-creates an ancient world steeped in myth and folklore, and introduces us to unforgettable women who come to vibrant life on the page.

Shantanu Das is living in the shadows of his past. In his fifties, he finds himself isolated from his traditional Bengali community after a devastating divorce from his wife, Chaitali; he hasn’t spoken to his older daughter, Mitali, in months. Years before, when his younger daughter, Keya, came out as gay, no one in the Das family could find the words they needed. As each worked up the courage to say sorry, fate intervened: Keya was killed in a car crash.

I love this book.” —Harlan Coben An “engrossing and mordantly funny” (People) novel about ambition, coming-of-age in adulthood, and never really leaving high school politics behind—featuring New York Times bestselling author Tom Perrotta’s most iconic character of all time. Tracy Flick is a hardworking assistant principal at a public high school in suburban New Jersey. Still ambitious but feeling a little stuck and underappreciated in midlife, Tracy gets a jolt of good news when the longtime principal, Jack Weede, abruptly announces his retirement, creating a rare opportunity for Tracy to ascend to the top job. Energized by the prospect of her long-overdue promotion, Tracy throws herself into her work with renewed zeal, determined to prove her worth to the students, faculty, and School Board, while also managing her personal life—a ten-year-old daughter, a needy doctor boyfriend, and a burgeoning meditation practice. But nothing ever comes easily to Tracy Flick, no matter how diligent or qualified she happens to be. Her male colleagues’ determination to honor Vito Falcone—a star quarterback of dubious character who had a brief, undistinguished career in the NFL—triggers memories for Tracy and leads her to reflect on the trajectory of her own life.

I love this book.” —Harlan Coben An “engrossing and mordantly funny” (People) novel about ambition, coming-of-age in adulthood, and never really leaving high school politics behind—featuring New York Times bestselling author Tom Perrotta’s most iconic character of all time. Tracy Flick is a hardworking assistant principal at a public high school in suburban New Jersey. Still ambitious but feeling a little stuck and underappreciated in midlife, Tracy gets a jolt of good news when the longtime principal, Jack Weede, abruptly announces his retirement, creating a rare opportunity for Tracy to ascend to the top job. Energized by the prospect of her long-overdue promotion, Tracy throws herself into her work with renewed zeal, determined to prove her worth to the students, faculty, and School Board, while also managing her personal life—a ten-year-old daughter, a needy doctor boyfriend, and a burgeoning meditation practice. But nothing ever comes easily to Tracy Flick, no matter how diligent or qualified she happens to be. Her male colleagues’ determination to honor Vito Falcone—a star quarterback of dubious character who had a brief, undistinguished career in the NFL—triggers memories for Tracy and leads her to reflect on the trajectory of her own life. As she considers the past, Tracy becomes aware of storm clouds brewing in the present. Is she really a shoo-in for the principal job? Is the Superintendent plotting against her? Why is the School Board President’s wife trying so hard to be her friend? And why can’t she ever get what she deserves?

The year is 1873, and a bison hunter named Samson travels the Kansas plains, full of hope for his new country. The year is 1975, and an adolescent girl named Bea walks those very same plains; pregnant, mute, and raised in extreme seclusion, she lands in an institution, where a well-meaning psychiatrist struggles to decipher the pictures she draws of her past. The year is 2027 and, after a series of devastating storms, a tenacious engineer named Paul has left behind his banal suburban existence to build a floating city above the drowned streets that were once New Orleans. There with his poet daughter he rules over a society of dreamers and vagabonds who salvage vintage dresses, ferment rotgut wine out of fruit, paint murals on the ceiling of the Superdome, and try to write the story of their existence. The year is 2073, and Moon has heard only stories of the blue planet—Earth, as they once called it, now succumbed entirely to water. Now that Moon has come of age, she could become a mother if she wanted to–if only she understood what a mother is. Alone on Mars with her two alien uncles, she must decide whether to continue her family line and repopulate humanity on a new planet. A sweeping family epic, told over seven generations, as America changes and so does its dream, Walk the Vanished Earth explores ancestry, legacy, motherhood, the trauma we inherit, and the power of connection in the face of our planet’s imminent collapse. This is a story about the end of the world—but it is also about the beginning of something entirely new.

Brian and Margot Dunne live year-round in Seaside, just steps away from the bustling boardwalk, with their daughters Liz and Evy. The Dunnes run a real estate company, making their living by quickly turning over rental houses for tourists. But the family’s future becomes precarious when Brian develops a brain tumor, transforming into an erratic version of himself. Amidst the chaos and new caretaking responsibilities, Liz still seeks out summer adventure and flirting with a guy she should know better than to pursue. Her younger sister Evy works in a candy shop, falls in love with her friend Olivia, and secretly adopts the persona of a middle-aged mom in an online support group, where she discovers her own mother’s vulnerable confessions.

Title: The Truth About Faking It Author: Cassie Hamer Narrator: Rebecca Macauley Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 52 minutes Release date: May 4, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Lie to your friends. Lie to your family. Just don't lie to yourself... Funny, smart, heartfelt fiction for readers of Holly Wainwright from a distinctive new voice. 'Cassie Hamer is a merging of all that is wonderful about authors like Marian Keyes, Liane Moriarty and Sally Hepworth... She's here to stay.' Better Reading The Trainor women have always been excellent at hiding their true feelings... until now. Ellen's estranged husband, David, has managed to interrupt her fabulous life of bridge and zumba by getting himself killed in a Thai boating accident. She's hardly surprised. It's simply the final in a long line of mistakes, the first was leaving her to go on a worldwide sailing trip with his mysterious, long-lost brother. Ah, well. At least she's now free to marry her rich but dull boyfriend, Kenneth. Regrettably, her daughter, self-possessed TV news broadcaster Natasha and granddaughter, reality TV producer Georgie, seem to take the whole 'dead' thing very personally and they decide to dig deeper, though neither really has time. Natasha is on the nose at her network and a toxic secret from her past is about to set off a catastrophic personal crisis. Meanwhile, Georgie is furiously focused on denying her true feelings for a contestant on her show, The Single Gal. Neither Ellen, Natasha, nor Georgie are agreed on quite how they should feel about David's death but they're certain about one thing - it isn't quite what it seems - and discovering the truth will unravel the tapestry of lies they've been spinning to themselves and each other. One way or another, all three women are faking it and as matters come to a head, the truth wills out in the most unexpected of ways... 'This well-crafted piece of commercial fiction is both warm and full of light... satisfyingly chunky and intermittently very funny.'

The book and the characters stayed with me long after I'd turned the final pages!” —Candice Carty-Williams, bestselling author of Queenie Glory Akindele returns to London from her seemingly glamorous life in LA to mourn the sudden death of her father, only to find her previously close family has fallen apart in her absence. Her brother, Victor, is in jail and won’t speak to her because she didn’t come home for his trial. Her older sister, Faith, once a busy career woman, appears to have lost her independence and ambition, and is instead channeling her energies into holding together a perfect suburban family. Worst of all, their mother, Celeste, is headed toward a breakdown after the death of her husband and the shame of her son’s incarceration. Rather than returning to America, Glory decides to stay and try to bring them all together again. It’s a tall order given that Glory’s life isn’t exactly working out according to plan either, and she’s acutely aware that she’s not so sure who she is and what she wants. A chance reunion with a man she’d known in her teens—the perceptive but elusive Julian—gives her the courage to start questioning why her respectable but obsessively private Nigerian immigrant family is the way it is. But then Glory’s questioning unearths a massive secret that shatters the family’s fragile peace—and she risks losing everyone she deeply cares about in her pursuit of the truth and a reunited family.

It has been eight months since Libby Tennyson’s husband, Jack, passed away, and now every afternoon when the fiery sun sinks below the horizon, she finds herself wandering through the empty old farmhouse in which they raised their six sons. Melancholy hour, she calls it—the time of day that was once a flurry of dinner, homework, and chores, but with her sons grown and on their own, she grieves for all she has lost—and worries about what the future holds for her youngest son, twenty-eight-year-old Chase.   All the Tennyson boys are handsome—but there’s something about Chase that has always made women swoon.

Though his family loves him deeply, Chase never felt he could truly be himself until he met Liam Evans, his partner in business and love. After six years, Chase and Liam are ready to make a lifetime commitment...yet both feel apprehensive including their very traditional families in their wedding planning.

This is a collection that beats with raw emotion and shimmers with the complexity of our shared human experience, and it confirms Alexander MacLeod’s reputation as a modern master of the short story.]]>605falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/a-family-affair-by-robyn-carr--65305441https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/550090 to listen full audiobooks.

Published or forthcoming in forty territories, it has sold more than one million copies worldwide. Now Stuart returns with Young Mungo, his extraordinary second novel. Both a page-turner and literary tour de force, it is a vivid portrayal of working-class life and a deeply moving and highly suspenseful story of the dangerous first love of two young men.Growing up in a housing estate in Glasgow, Mungo and James are born under different stars—Mungo a Protestant and James a Catholic—and they should be sworn enemies if they’re to be seen as men at all. Yet against all odds, they become best friends as they find a sanctuary in the pigeon dovecote that James has built for his prize racing birds. As they fall in love, they dream of finding somewhere they belong, while Mungo works hard to hide his true self from all those around him, especially from his big brother Hamish, a local gang leader with a brutal reputation to uphold. And when, several months later, Mungo’s mother sends him on a fishing trip to a loch in Western Scotland with two strange men whose drunken banter belies murky pasts, he will need to summon all his inner strength and courage to try to get back to a place of safety, a place where he and James might still have a future. Imbuing the everyday world of its characters with rich lyricism and giving full voice to people rarely acknowledged in the literary world, Young Mungo is a gripping and revealing story about the bounds of masculinity, the divisions of sectarianism, the violence faced by many queer people, and the dangers of loving someone too much.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/554611Tue, 05 Apr 2022 07:11:07 +0000Eileen KoeppPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/554611 to listen full audiobooks.

But how can Lyd protect Mott and help her achieve her ambitions in a world where inhibitions, desires, and motivations have become unpredictable, and where Mott’s dangerous and conniving father has his own ideas about how his estranged family should spend their last days? Formally inventive and hauntingly strange, Drowning Practice signals the arrival of a singular new voice in Mike Meginnis, who writes with generosity and precision, humor and sorrowfulness. Stirring and surprising at every turn, Drowning Practice is literary speculative fiction at its best and with a pulsing heart: a mother and daughter trying to decide how they should live out what might be the final months of their—or anyone’s—life on Earth.]]>305falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/a-black-and-endless-sky-by-matthew-lyons--65305424https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/551120 to listen full audiobooks.

When she’s released after six years, she returns to L.A. with a purpose: to learn the truth about her sister Julie, who washed up on a Malibu beach a year earlier. The connection between the twins was so powerful that the day Julie died, Cody collapsed in the prison yard. Now that bond is driving her to seek justice—at any cost.

Discovering she’s pregnant—after she was told she may not be able to have biological children—Tabitha throws herself headfirst into the world of “single mothers by choice.” Between her job, doctor’s appointments, and preparing for the baby, she’s worn out. And that’s before her boss at the local news station starts getting complaints from viewers about Tabitha’s natural hair.

It takes a village to raise a child, and Tabitha turns to the women who have always been there for her. Bolstered by the fierce support of Ms. Gretchen, her grandmother’s best friend, the counsel of her closest friends Laila and Alexis, and the calming presence of her doula Andouele, Tabitha must find a way to navigate motherhood on her own terms.

Discovering she’s pregnant—after she was told she may not be able to have biological children—Tabitha throws herself headfirst into the world of “single mothers by choice.” Between her job, doctor’s appointments, and preparing for the baby, she’s worn out. And that’s before her boss at the local news station starts getting complaints from viewers about Tabitha’s natural hair. When an unexpected turn of events draws Marc—her on and off-again ex-boyfriend—back into her world with surprising demands, and the situation at work begins to threaten her livelihood and her identity, Tabitha must make some tough decisions about her and her baby’s future. It takes a village to raise a child, and Tabitha turns to the women who have always been there for her. Bolstered by the fierce support of Ms. Gretchen, her grandmother’s best friend, the counsel of her closest friends Laila and Alexis, and the calming presence of her doula Andouele, Tabitha must find a way to navigate motherhood on her own terms. Will she harness the bravery, strength, and self-love she’ll need to keep “the village” together, find her voice at work, and settle things with Marc before the baby arrives?]]>305falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-family-chao-by-lan-samantha-chang--65305410https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/554607 to listen full audiobooks.

A member of the 'Generation of '27' avant-garde movement that included Dalí and Buñuel, he became well known for his lyrical, symbolic works mixing modernism and the folkloric traditions of his native Andalusia.

Her maternal yearnings escalate to the point of obsession, ultimately driving her to commit a terrible crime... Emma Cuniffe stars as Yerma, with a full cast including Conrad Nelson, Declan Wilson, Rebecca Callard and Annette Badland.

Title: Beyond the Wire Author: James D. Shipman Narrator: Robert Fass Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 2 minutes Release date: January 25, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: October 1944: In the long, narrow undressing rooms in Auschwitz-Birkenau, prisoner Jakub Bak toils under the scrutiny of SS guards. Like other members of the Sonderkommando, Jakub was selected on arrival for an unthinkable job: sorting through the clothes of the dead and moving their bodies from the gas chambers to the crematoriums. Jakub clings to the promise he made to his murdered father—to live, at any cost—and to the moments he is able to spend in the company of Anna, imprisoned in the women's camp. Every morning, Anna marches miles to the union munitions factory where she works alongside other prisoners. Even Jakub doesn't know that she and a few other women have been taking the ultimate risk, smuggling trace amounts of gunpowder back in their clothing. A bold plan is brewing to revolt against the SS and liberate the camp. Jakub, pressured to join the resistance, knows that any uprising faces impossible odds. Added to this already stark choice is another desperate reality—the risk from informers who see their only chance of survival in betraying their fellow Jews. Powerfully moving and unflinching in its authenticity, Beyond the Wire tells of the women and men who, though outnumbered and outgunned, fought to free themselves, sparking a brilliant flash of light and hope amidst the darkest evil that humans can conceive.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/552463Tue, 25 Jan 2022 07:11:07 +0000Eileen KoeppPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/552463 to listen full audiobooks.

Destitute workers live under terrible conditions. Trapped in these isolated locations, workers are entirely dependent on the often greedy, abusive camp owners who provide food and housing at grossly inflated prices. But for the most desperate among America's vast unemployed, these camps are often the last and only option. This much is true for three individuals whose lives intersect in the deep woods of Georgia at the Swallow Hill turpentine camp in 1932. For Rae Lynn Cobb, a young woman disguised as a man, Swallow Hill offers distance and anonymity from those who would wrongly imprison her for killing her husband. For a charming bachelor named Del Reese, it's a place where backbreaking work might drown out memories of a recent trauma. But Swallow Hill is no easy haven. The camp is ruled by a sadistic boss named Crow and the greedy commissary owner Otis Riddle, a man who takes out his frustrations on his wife, Cornelia. Del and 'Ray Cobb' are tested as they struggle to survive harsh, brutal conditions. As Rae Lynn forges a deeper friendship with Del and Cornelia, she begins to envision a path out of the camp. But she will have to come to terms with her past before she can open herself to a new life and seize the chance to begin again . . .]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/552462Tue, 25 Jan 2022 07:11:07 +0000Eileen KoeppPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/552462 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Velorio (Spanish edition) Author: Xavier Navarro Aquino Narrator: Gabriel S. Rivera Vázquez, Gil René Rodríguez, María Victoria Martínez, Diana Pou, Jesús E. Martínez, Vico Ortiz, Yetta Gottesman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 35 minutes Release date: January 4, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: «En esta novela, la catástrofe se cuenta con precisión de cronista y belleza poética. Sus voces transcurren entre el tono íntimo y devastador de un diario del desastre y la mirada colectiva de la memoria que ve la esperanza en el linaje de resistencias que han enfrentado al poder desde tiempos ancestrales. Xavier Navarro Aquino nos entrega así una primera novela sobre el huracán que marcó un antes y un después en la historia de la isla». —Joel Cintrón Arbasetti, periodista y autor de El Local y Sobre un animal muerto Es septiembre de 2017 y el huracán María acaba de arrasar con Puerto Rico. Camila se siente perturbada por la muerte de su hermana, Marisol. Todo empezó cuando le arrancó un pedacito, el meñique que sobresalía del fango, tras el deslizamiento de tierra que se la llevó. Incapaz de desprenderse de ella, Camila carga con su cuerpo hasta llegar al supuesto paraíso perdido llamado «Memoria». Urayoán, el profeta soñador pero peligroso de Memoria, tiene planes para su nueva sociedad: aspira a un nuevo orden tras el abandono del Gobierno. El paraíso que predica seduce a jóvenes de toda la isla, entre ellos a Pescao, Moriviví y Banto. Todos ellos tendrán que navegar el ascenso entre llamas del tirano Urayoán y enfrentarse a sus impulsos macabros para poder reclamar su hogar, una isla estremecida tanto por el paso impetuoso de María como por la violencia humana. Velorio es la ansiada y desgarradora novela poshuracán que despierta nuestros miedos más profundos, pero que apela también a la voluntad y la fuerza de todo un pueblo a la hora de enfrentarnos a los corruptos en poder. Xavier Navarro Aquino nació y se crió en Puerto Rico. Sus obras han sido publicadas en las revistas literarias Tin House, McSweeney’s Quarterly Concern y Guernica. Ha recibido numerosas becas de parte de Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference, Sewanee Writers’ Conference y la prestigiosa MacDowell Fellowship.

Not only did they give her employment as a chambermaid, but it’s also where she met her fiancé Tom. When theatre agent Roland stays at the hotel and hears Emily singing, he is determined to take her away to Bristol and make her a star. But knowing she'd never leave her fiancé, he hatches a plan to get Emily away from Tom.  Six years later, Emily has made a name for herself as 'The Bristol Songbird'. Her love for Tom is still as strong as ever, but she's not heard from him since that fateful night so long ago. And with the world enveloped in a war, it seems unlikely the two will ever meet again.   Will Emily and Tom ever find their way back to one another? Or will the war – and Roland – succeed in keeping them apart?   Praise for Karen Dickson:   ‘A compelling saga that will hold you fast from the first page to the last.

Read by the award-winning actor Juliet Stevenson (Truly, Madly, Deeply) 'Sweeping, absorbing, beautifully written and utterly compelling' – Lancashire Evening Post Thirty years have passed since Greta left Marchmont Hall, a grand and beautiful house nestled in the hills of rural Monmouthshire. But, after a tragic accident, more than two decades of her life have disappeared from memory. When she returns to the Hall for Christmas, she has no recollection of her past there.

Several years ago, they gave up respectable careers to set up a website design company in Nigel's living room. That was their first mistake... They rapidly discover that no-one can disturb, pester and annoy like a sibling can - except, perhaps, for their eccentric friends Zorro and Oonagh, whose constant interruptions and distractions lead them into some increasingly odd situations. Liquidised orchids, tropical fish, John Travolta's cufflinks and revolving bow ties are soon part of their daily routine as, beset by professional problems and private consternation, the beleagured brothers find their lives becoming increasingly surreal. The arrival of their feckless father, Peter, sparks further havoc for the duo, and worries about absent wives and all-too-present fiancées only add to the pressure. Can the brothers fix their strained filial relationship, or will they only find happiness by going their separate ways? Written by Caroline and David Stafford, whose credits include Hazelbeach and the 'Birkett' legal dramas, this engaging comedy drama stars Adam Godley (The Umbrella Academy) as Nigel, Raymond Coulthard (Hotel Babylon) as Michael, Pauline McLynn (Father Ted) as Oonagh and Pearce Quigley and Alex Lowe as Zorro.

Uno de los 100 mejores libros Young adult de todos los tiempos según la revista TIME. Mujercitas, el clásico de Louisa May Alcott ambientado en la guerra de Secesión, fue publicado en Estados Unidos en 1868. Han pasado más de ciento cincuenta años desde entonces, pero la complicidad de las cuatro hermanas March, que resumen el espíritu crítico de una época en sus gestos y palabras, sigue siendo fuente de inspiración y disfrute para las generaciones de lectoras y lectores que se asoman por primera vez a las páginas de esta fascinante obra. Sobre la obra: «Hay un libro en el que creí ver reflejado mi futuro: Mujercitas, de Louisa May Alcott... Yo quería a toda costa ser Jo, la intelectual. Compartía con ella el rechazo a las tareas domésticas y el amor por los libros. Jo escribía, y para imitarla empecé mis primeros cuentos cortos.» Simone de Beauvoir, Memorias de una joven formal «Hallé consuelo en los libros. Curiosamente, fue Louisa May Alcott con Mujercitas quien me procuró una perspectiva positiva de mi destino como mujer.» Patti Smith, Éramos unos niños «Hasta que no lo leí no fui consciente de que las novelas que tanto me gustaban tenían un autor, y que ese autor podía ser una chica. Recuerdo que entonces vivíamos en Palma de Mallorca. Yo tenía nueve años. Jo March escribía relatos y yo también quería hacerlo.

Uno de los 100 mejores libros Young adult de todos los tiempos según la revista TIME. Mujercitas, el clásico de Louisa May Alcott ambientado en la guerra de Secesión, fue publicado en Estados Unidos en 1868. Han pasado más de ciento cincuenta años desde entonces, pero la complicidad de las cuatro hermanas March, que resumen el espíritu crítico de una época en sus gestos y palabras, sigue siendo fuente de inspiración y disfrute para las generaciones de lectoras y lectores que se asoman por primera vez a las páginas de esta fascinante obra. Sobre la obra: «Hay un libro en el que creí ver reflejado mi futuro: Mujercitas, de Louisa May Alcott... Yo quería a toda costa ser Jo, la intelectual. Compartía con ella el rechazo a las tareas domésticas y el amor por los libros. Jo escribía, y para imitarla empecé mis primeros cuentos cortos.» Simone de Beauvoir, Memorias de una joven formal «Hallé consuelo en los libros. Curiosamente, fue Louisa May Alcott con Mujercitas quien me procuró una perspectiva positiva de mi destino como mujer.» Patti Smith, Éramos unos niños «Hasta que no lo leí no fui consciente de que las novelas que tanto me gustaban tenían un autor, y que ese autor podía ser una chica. Recuerdo que entonces vivíamos en Palma de Mallorca. Yo tenía nueve años. Jo March escribía relatos y yo también quería hacerlo. Fue entonces cuando empezó todo.» Elvira Lindo «Mujercitas está en la genealogía que intenta construir una épica de lo íntimo. [...] La literatura no solo representa la realidad, también la construye, y esa es una de las razones por las que estaría bien rele Mujercitas con sentido crítico: nos estaríamos releyendo a nosotras mismas.» Marta Sanz «Una oportunidad maravillosa para viajar hasta este memorable hogar del siglo XIX en el que, a pesar del dolor, nunca falta un trozo de pastel caliente y un hombro amigo sobre el que llorar tus penas.» Cecilia Frías, El Cultural «Un precioso libro a la altura del más vivo recuerdo de un lector nostálgico, y lo bastante atractivo para fidelizar a una generación de nuevos lectores que no se hayan acercado al título con anterioridad.» Sonsoles Sánchez-Reyes Peñamaría, Zenda Libros «Un inspirador clásico para inquietas adolescentes [...], de rabiosa actualidad.» Andrea Aguilar, El País «A los nombres de las heroínas de Mujercitas les ha pasado lo mismo que a los Beatles.

Byatt's 'Frederica Quartet', plus selected short stories and a fascinating talk by the author Inspired by the novels of D.H. Lawrence, particularly The Rainbow and Women in Love, this ambitious quartet from Booker Prize-winning novelist A.S. Byatt charts the lives of the Potter family between 1953 and 1970. Set against the changing social and political landscape of England in the '50s and '60s, it follows the heroine, Frederica, from precocious teenager to TV talk show host, and from her Yorkshire home to the heart of swinging London. The Virgin in the Garden sees the Potters preparing to celebrate Elizabeth II's coronation, while Frederica auditions for a play about Elizabeth I written by the beautiful Alexander Wedderburn. Will she win the part, and Alexander's heart? In Still Life, Frederica's ambitions - both academic and sexual - come to fruition, as she gains a place at Cambridge University to study English - and men. In Babel Tower, she has given up her carefree, independent lifestyle - but as the Sixties' cultural revolution explodes and the quest for personal and public freedom becomes all-important, will settling down bring her happiness? And in A Whistling Woman, as events build to a tragic climax in Yorkshire, back in London, Frederica is faced with a difficult choice... These acclaimed adaptations star Rosemary Leach, Hannah Watkins and Indira Varma as Frederica. Also included are four fantastic short stories: 'The July Ghost', dramatised with a star cast including Kate Buffery and Clive Owen; and 'Rose-Coloured Teacups', 'Gode's Story' and 'A Stone Woman', read by Anna Massey, Sheila Mitchell and Penelope Wilton respectively.

Title: [Spanish] - En tus zapatos Author: Beth O'leary Narrator: Sara Gómez Alonso Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 40 minutes Release date: October 28, 2021 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: La irresistible nueva novela de la autora del best seller internacional Piso para dos. «Un bálsamo para el alma en estos tiempos tan complicados.» Marian Keyes Leena Cotton es infalible, pero ha metido la pata. Sus jefes le ordenan tomarse dos meses de vacaciones y, agotada, decide escapar de la humeante Londres. Eileen Cotton es imparable, pero acaba de quedarse soltera a sus setenta y nueve años y no hay (a primera vista) ningún soltero adecuado para ella en Hamleigh, su pequeño pueblo. Al enterarse del problema de su abuela, Leena propone una solución drástica: durante ocho semanas, Eileen se irá a Londres a buscar el amor mientras ella se ocupa de todo en Hamleigh y aprovecha para desconectar. Sin embargo, Leena se las tendrá que ver con marabuntas de pensionistas y el insoportable (pero muy atractivo) profesor del pueblo; y tal vez las webs de citas y los hípsters londinenses puedan con Eileen. Las Cotton están a punto de descubrir que vivir la vida de otra persona no es tan sencillo como creían..., pero quizá sea justo lo que necesitan. La crítica ha dicho... «Hay [novelas] que tan solo pretenden convertirse en un refugio entretenido y divertido en el que resguardarse tras un día complicado.

Divertidísima.» Mujer Hoy «La autora de Piso para dos lo ha vuelto a hacer, ha vuelto a escribir una novela que nos ha seducido por su originalidad y ternura.» Clara «Este libro es como una taza de chocolate caliente.» Facilísimo «¡Nos ha hecho reír, llorar... y enamorarnos!» The Sun «Una lectura encantadora y llena de esperanza.» Daily Mirror «En tus zapatos es una lectura llena de calidez y positividad que nos enseña que nunca es demasiado tarde para cambiar tu vida y perseguir tus sueños.» Platinum «Esta deliciosa ración de ficción alentadora es un auténtico alivio.» Sunday Mirror «Una lectura reconfortante que, francamente, nos hace mucha falta.» Stylist «Os espera una nueva lectura sobre la alegría de vivir la vida al máximo.» Heat «Un tónico perfecto para estos tiempos llenos de ansiedad.» The People «Beth O'Leary, la autora de Piso para dos, nos regala otra historia que te deja con la misma sensación que un cálido abrazo.

La decisión de una humilde familia campesina de dar una hija en adopción a un matrimonio adinerado es el fundamento sobre el que Khaled Hosseini -autor de las inolvidables Cometas en el cielo y Mil soles espléndidos- ha tejido este formidable tapiz en el que se entrelazan los destinos de varias generaciones y se exploran las infinitas formas en que el amor, el valor, la traición y el sacrificio desempeñan un papel determinante en las vidas de las personas. La historia arranca en una remota y desolada aldea de Afganistán, donde Sabur y su segunda mujer se enfrentan en condiciones precarias a la llegada de otro invierno implacable. Abdulá, el hijo mayor, de diez años, ha cuidado de su hermana Pari desde que era pequeña, y ahora ambos escuchan cautivados la triste historia que les relata su padre antes de acostarlos, la víspera de iniciar un largo viaje que los conducirá hasta Kabul. Allí, en las bulliciosas calles de la capital, dará comienzo este fascinante itinerario que guiará al lector desde el otoño de 1952 hasta el presente, de Kabul a París, desde la isla griega de Tinos hasta San Francisco.

In the Shoreditch District of East London, Brick Lane is known as a rough part of town, and the derelict, abandoned commercial building on Princelet Street only adds to that reputation.

Even when no one else believes in their vision, they hold onto their idealism. With limited time to pull the place together, the couple knows their mission is close to impossible. Not only do they have to prepare and renovate the building—they also have to navigate new connections with doubtful locals and potential employees.

Title: A Fine Balance: A BBC Radio full-cast drama Author: Rohinton Mistry Narrator: Zafar Karachiwala, Kenneth Desai, Neil Bhoopalam, Anand Tiwari, Rajit Kapur, Shernaz Patel, Full Cast Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 50 minutes Release date: October 21, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 1 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: A compelling dramatisation of Rohinton Mistry's Booker Prize-nominated novel about India's underclass India, 1975. Desperate to preserve her independence from her abusive brother, Parsi widow Dina Dilal turns her cramped city apartment into a sweatshop. But when her eyesight begins to fail, she hires two tailors - uncle and nephew Ishvar and Om, who have fled from caste violence in their native village. She also takes in a lodger - Maneck, a reluctant student from the mountains. Initially wary of each other, the four strangers soon form a close bond of friendship, loyalty and love. But their lives are about to be turned upside down, for India in the mid-1970s is in a state of crisis, riven by political turmoil and corruption. As Indira Gandhi's 'Emergency' measures come into force, civil liberties are suspended and human rights suppressed. In this climate of chaos, violence and injustice, Dina and her makeshift family find themselves struggling to survive and facing an uncertain future... Tragic, comic, poignant and redemptive, this heart-rending drama is a celebration of the human spirit under inhuman conditions. Adapted by Ayeesha Menon and Kewel Karim, it stars Shernaz Patel as Dina, Kenneth Desai as Ishvar, Anand Tiwari as Om and Neil Bhoopalam as Maneck.

Title: Come Together Series: #7 of Butler, Vermont Author: Marie Force Narrator: Stella Hunter Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 21 minutes Release date: October 21, 2021 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Three years after his marriage ended in dramatic fashion, Noah Coleman has one goal—to steer clear of romantic entanglements. In fact, he steers clear of most human interaction, studiously avoiding his large meddling extended family, working until he’s exhausted, and then repeating the pattern day after day. His strategy has worked well for him for years, keeping him sealed off from anything that can cause him pain or angst. Or it was working for him… before his company was hired to rebuild the Admiral Butler Inn, forcing him to co-exist with the exasperatingly difficult, gorgeous architect the inn’s owner, Mrs. Hendricks, hired to oversee the project. While nursing a badly broken heart, Brianna Esposito is determined to complete the Butler Inn construction under budget and on time—and to make partner in the Boston firm where she’s been working fourteen hours a day for five years. Nothing is going to stop her from achieving her goal, especially not a cranky contractor with the people skills of a rabid cougar. Noah Coleman is the most exasperating human being she’s ever had the misfortune to tangle with. She’s never had screaming fights with anyone the way she does him, and the fact that he’s also the sexiest man she’s ever met makes it that much more difficult to hold her ground.

Russ Hildebrandt, pastor en una iglesia progresista de un barrio residencial, está a punto de liberarse de un matrimonio que considera desdichado, salvo que su esposa, Marion, que también tiene sus secretos, se le anticipe. Clem, el primogénito, viene de la universidad infundido de un moralismo extremo que lo ha hecho tomar una decisión que causará estragos. Su hermana Becky, hasta entonces la reina de su clase en el instituto, ha virado bruscamente hacia la contracultura. El tercer hijo, el brillante Perry, que se ha dedicado a vender droga a sus compañeros de curso, se ha propuesto volverse mejor persona. Mientras que el más pequeño, Jay, intenta abrirse camino entre la incertidumbre y el asombro. Así, todos los Hildebrandt persiguen una libertad que los demás miembros de la familia, cada uno por su cuenta, amenazan con coartar. La crítica ha dicho... «Esta novela, como todas las buenas novelas de Franzen, habla de la familia. Me ha parecido la mejor del autor y, aunque la leí a finales de verano, sigo pensando en cada uno de los miembros de la familia Hildebrandt como si fueran de la propia, me pregunto qué harán, dónde estarán y espero el siguiente libro porque Franzen la ha concebido como la primera de una trilogía. [...] Esta novela es la más compleja de todas, la más profunda, con unos personajes muy bien definidos y creíbles y con un personaje femenino protagonista, Marion, la madre de familia, que está más allá de sus anteriores protagonistas femeninas.» CTXT «Una obra muy absorbente, divertida, lacerante y, por momentos, sorprendentemente edificante. En una palabra: exquisita.» Kirkus Reviews «Franzen regresa con una visión panorámica y magistral del vigoroso mundo cultural de los años setenta en Estados Unidos. [...] Un libro irresistible.» Publishers Weekly «Probablemente, Jonathan Franzen sea el mejor novelista estadounidense del momento.» The New Republic «Franzen [...] probablemente haya logrado escribir su obra maestra definitiva.

Una novela sobre nuestro pasado UNO DE LOS OCHO MEJORES DEBUTS NARRATIVOS DE 2021 POR EL CULTURAL GANADORA DEL FESTIVAL DE PRIMERA NOVELA DE CHAMBÉRY 2023 «Tiene un aire faulkneriano, incluso de Rulfo. La memoria de un país es su literatura. En ese sentido, La marca del agua es la historia de lo que hemos vivido en los últimos cincuenta años.» Julio Llamazares «Tejida de memoria, nostalgia, traiciones y derrota, La marca del agua [...] es, ante todo, un buen relato neorrural, bien estructurado, de ritmo poderoso y con una trama sorprendente en la que no faltan ni escenas de terrible dureza ni instantes de emoción, con persistentes ecos de Delibes, Luis Mateo Díez y Llamazares en su recreación de un mundo acosado por intereses ajenos, y condenado a la extinción.» Elena Costa, El Cultural 19 de abril de 1950. El agua ya ha alcanzado la piedra que sirve de testigo: en menos de diez días Hontanar desaparecerá para siempre inundado por el pantano. Todos están celebrando la inauguración del pueblo nuevo, solo quedan allí los hermanos Cristóbal. Pero un suceso terrible les obliga a emprender precipitadamente el viaje: Marcos descubre a su hermana Sara colgada de un machón de la cuadra. Envuelta en la colcha que bordó durante años para un ajuar que ya nunca será utilizado y oculta entre sacos de patatas, Sara recorre ese camino en el carro de su hermano. Después de todo, siempre quiso irse del pueblo. Durante el trayecto por un territorio que es ya un páramo, Marcos recuerda la historia de la familia, sus sombras y silencios: la llegada siendo unos niños cuyo origen su madre quiso esconder, los deseos de Sara por construirse una vida propia, la obsesión de la madre por el pretendiente perfecto que le procurase una buena boda, los sentimientos e impulsos no confesados, las traiciones y la relación con el ingeniero falangista encargado de las obras del pantano... La crítica ha dicho: «Aunque sea su primera novela, Montserrat Iglesias no es una debutante: se nota que lleva toda la vida forjando las palabras para este libro preciso, lírico y poderoso.» Jesús Carrasco «Un viaje alucinado de vivos y muertos por una España ignorada, escrito como ya no se escribe en España.» Sergio del Molino «Escribe de una manera muy especial: [...] al leerlo nos llega algo muy de aquí, muy español, con elementos parecidos a Bodas de sangre, de Lorca.» Ayanta Barilli, A Media Luz «Una historia que da voz a los que la perdieron y sentido a su emoción desde la literatura. Una novela muy especial.» Julio Llamazares «Un regreso a los orígenes y a una de las muchas Atlántidas de España que, desde diferente prisma, coincide en un buen número de temáticas: la familia y la muerte, pero también el desarraigo, la identidad y el olvido.» Silvia Hernando, Babelia «Un grito seco y muy bien escrito con ecos de otros tiempos y de grandes como Lorca, Delibes y Carmen Laforet.» Sonia Fides, Público «Un viaje por unas memorias prohibidas: [...] Iglesias cabalga sobre el pasado de España y narra las inquietudes del presente con ecos de la mejor literatura de las últimas décadas, desde clásicos como Delibes y Ana María Matute, hasta contemporáneos como Llamazares, Carrasco y Merino, pasando por voces surgidas en los últimos tiempos como las de María Sánchez, Pilar Adón y Lara Moreno.» REVCYL]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/551614Thu, 14 Oct 2021 07:11:07 +0000Eileen KoeppPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/551614 to listen full audiobooks.

Tamara Trottner escribe su primer libro como quien lleva toda la vida escribiendo. Porque quien descubre y entiende el dolor y las dichas de otros, teje su destino con madurez y generosidad. Éste es un libro que emociona y fascina.» Ángeles Mastretta «La mesa es redonda. De caoba. Cabe apenas un teléfono gris de disco. Miro hacia arriba, a esta edad todo se mira hacia arriba.

Comienza así una guerra entre dos poderosas familias que ejercen su autoridad y su riqueza hasta las últimas consecuencias. Para una niña de cinco años es difícil comprender que su vida se vea sacudida por una tolvanera de amores y odios, venganza y protección, verdades imperiosas y, sin embargo, opuestas: odiar a quien más ama, confiar en quien le ha mentido. En esta nueva existencia, ella tratará de entender que hay amores que no tienen remedio, que hay vidas que no son normales, que hay odios que no tienen válvula de escape, y que la única verdad absoluta es que el amor incondicional está lleno de condiciones. «Siempre me pregunté qué contaría la historia de Ana Karenina de haber sido escrita por una mujer. Nadie nos vio partir es narrada por Tamara Trottner de tal manera que ofrece una posible respuesta. Una profunda novela familiar, mexicana y universal al mismo tiempo.

Un matrimonio en crisis viaja en coche con sus dos hijos pequeños desde Nueva York hasta Arizona. Ambos son documentalistas y cada uno se concentra en un proyecto propio: él está tras los rastros de la última banda apache en rendirse al poder militar estadounidense; ella busca documentar la diáspora de niños que llegan a la frontera sur del país en busca de asilo. Mientras el coche familiar atraviesa el vasto territorio norteamericano, los dos niños, sentados en el asiento trasero, escuchan las conversaciones e historias de sus padres y a su manera confunden las noticias de la crisis migratoria con el genocidio de los pueblos originarios de Norteamérica. En su imaginación, estas historias se entremezclan, dando lugar a una aventura que es la historia de una familia, un país y un continente. Desierto sonoro, tercera novela de Valeria Luiselli, combina lo mejor de dos grandes tradiciones literarias, la del viaje y la del éxodo: trasiega por el asfalto y atraviesa horizontes desérticos, se detiene en moteles de carretera y penetra en los territorios íntimos de sus personajes, ofreciendo con precisión una serie de instantáneas que retratan las infinitas capas del paisaje geográfico, sonoro, político y espiritual que conforman la realidad contemporánea. Un relato conmovedor y necesario que muestra la fragilidad con que se definen los lazos familiares, indaga en la manera en que documentamos nuestras existencias y pasamos las historias de generación en generación, y se pregunta qué significa ser humano en un mundo cada vez más deshumanizado.

Holly Banks is on a desperate mission to have it all, but nothing in life goes according to plan. She’s quickly learning that keeping up with the Joneses is a full-time job, especially when the women of Primm, her new neighborhood, seem to have it together all the time. With her husband’s job in flux, her daughter’s difficulty with learning to read, and her mother’s new zest for dating, Holly’s life is already anything but picture perfect. Then her dog digs up an old artifact in the village center, and the mishap draws the attention of local media. Because of course it would. Holly finds herself at the center of a mystery between two rival towns that, if solved, could change the Village of Primm forever. Attention is the last thing she needs as she’s launching a new business, the village-wide “Parade of Homes” is approaching—though she’s hardly unpacked—and she needs to submit her entry for an upcoming film festival. Can Holly still create her perfect (looking) life?

When a shocking event upends their world, one woman seizes a split-second chance to change everything and follow her sister down a different life path. It’s a spontaneous choice, but there’s no going back. How will she deal with the fallout when covering up one untruth means lying to everyone—about everything? One thing is clear: both twins have secrets, and both just want to be happy. But what price will they pay to live the life they’ve always wanted?

Title: A Single Swallow Author: Zhang Ling Narrator: Tanya Eby, Feodor Chin, Adam Verner, Christopher Lane, Arthur Morey Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 19 minutes Release date: October 1, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: The eagerly awaited English translation of award-winning author Zhang Ling’s epic and intimate novel about the devastation of war, forgiveness, redemption, and the enduring power of love. On the day of the historic 1945 Jewel Voice Broadcast—in which Emperor Hirohito announced Japan’s surrender to the Allied forces, bringing an end to World War II—three men, flush with jubilation, made a pact. After their deaths, each year on the anniversary of the broadcast, their souls would return to the Chinese village of their younger days. It’s where they had fought—and survived—a war that shook the world and changed their own lives in unimaginable ways. Now, seventy years later, the pledge is being fulfilled by American missionary Pastor Billy, brash gunner’s mate Ian Ferguson, and local soldier Liu Zhaohu. All that’s missing is Ah Yan—also known as Swallow—the girl each man loved, each in his own profound way. As they unravel their personal stories of the war, and of the woman who touched them so deeply during that unforgiving time, the story of Ah Yan’s life begins to take shape, woven into view by their memories. A woman who had suffered unspeakable atrocities, and yet found the grace and dignity to survive, she’d been the one to bring them together. And it is her spark of humanity, still burning brightly, that gives these ghosts of the past the courage to look back on everything they endured and remember the woman they lost.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/548997Thu, 01 Oct 2020 07:11:07 +0000Eileen KoeppPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/548997 to listen full audiobooks.
