Title: A Brief History of Living Forever: A Novel Author: Jaroslav Kalfar Narrator: Juanita Mcmahon Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 11 minutes Release date: March 28, 2023 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: In an authoritarian near-future America obsessed with digital consciousness and eternal life, two long-lost siblings risk everything to save their mother from oblivion. When Adéla discovers she has a terminal illness, she leaves behind her native Czech village for a chance at reuniting in America with Tereza, the daughter she gave up at birth, decades earlier. But the country Adéla experienced as a young woman, when she eloped with a filmmaker and starred in his cult sci-fi movie, has changed entirely. In 2030, America is ruled by an authoritarian government increasingly closed off to the rest of the world. Tereza, the star researcher for VITA, a biotech company hellbent on discovering the key to immortality, is overjoyed to meet her mother, with whom she forms an instant, profound connection. But when their time together is cut short by shocking events, Tereza must uncover VITA’s alarming activity in the wastelands of what was once Florida, and persuade the Czech brother she’s never met to join her in this odds-defying adventure.         Narrated from the beyond by Adéla’s restless spirit, A Brief History of Living Forever is a high-wire act of storytelling from a writer “booming with vitality and originality,” whose “voice is distinct enough to leave tread marks” (New York Times). By turns insightful, moving, and funny, the novel not only confirms Jaroslav Kalfař’s boundless powers of invention but also exults in the love between a mother and her daughter, which neither space nor time can sever. “Kalfař is a wise, rapturous, and original writer . . . Eloquent, heart-stunning, and rich in awe-inspiring prose.” —San Francisco Chronicle   “Relentlessly inventive . . . His writing has the same hyperactivity and fidgety contempt for generic boundaries as that of the young Safran Foer.” —The Guardian]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/484994Tue, 28 Mar 2023 07:11:12 +0000Malachi BoscoPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/484994 to listen full audiobooks.

Someone is telling the story of the life of Charlie Barnes, and it doesn't appear to be going well. Too often divorced, discontent with life's compromises and in a house he hates, this lifelong schemer and eternal romantic would like out of his present circumstances and into the American dream. But when the twin calamities of the Great Recession and a cancer scare come along to compound his troubles, his dreams dwindle further, and an infinite past full of forking paths quickly tapers to a black dot. Then, against all odds, something goes right for a change: Charlie is granted a second act. With help from his storyteller son, he surveys the facts of his life and finds his true calling where he least expects it—in a sacrifice that redounds with selflessness and love—at last becoming the man his son always knew he could be. A Calling for Charlie Barnes is a profound and tender portrait of a man whose desperate need to be loved is his downfall, and a brutally funny account of how that love is ultimately earned.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/495279Tue, 28 Sep 2021 07:11:12 +0000Malachi BoscoPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/495279 to listen full audiobooks.

Too often divorced, discontent with life's compromises and in a house he hates, this lifelong schemer and eternal romantic would like out of his present circumstances and into the American dream. But when the twin calamities of the Great Recession and a cancer scare come along to compound his troubles, his dreams dwindle further, and an infinite past full of forking paths quickly tapers to a black dot. Then, against all odds, something goes right for a change: Charlie is granted a second act. With help from his storyteller son, he surveys the facts of his life and finds his true calling where he least expects it—in a sacrifice that redounds with selflessness and love—at last becoming the man his son always knew he could be. A Calling for Charlie Barnes is a profound and tender portrait of a man whose desperate need to be loved is his downfall, and a brutally funny account of how that love is ultimately earned.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/i-have-something-to-tell-you-by-susan-lewis--65306259https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/498501 to listen full audiobooks.

The way Grossman writes about these regions is unique, with a deep understanding of our experience.” —Josip Mlakić, Express (Croatia) More Than I Love My Life is the story of three strong women: Vera, age ninety; her daughter, Nina; and her granddaughter, Gili, who at thirty-nine is a filmmaker and a wary consumer of affection. A bitter secret divides each mother and daughter pair, though Gili—abandoned by Nina when she was just three—has always been close to her grandmother.   With Gili making the arrangements, they travel together to Goli Otok, a barren island off the coast of Croatia, where Vera was imprisoned and tortured for three years as a young wife after she refused to betray her husband and denounce him as an enemy of the people. This unlikely journey—filtered through the lens of Gili’s camera, as she seeks to make a film that might help explain her life—lays bare the intertwining of fear, love, and mercy, and the complex overlapping demands of romantic and parental passion.   More Than I Love My Life was inspired by the true story of one of David Grossman’s longtime confidantes, a woman who, in the early 1950s, was held on the notorious Goli Otok (“the Adriatic Alcatraz”). With flashbacks to the stalwart Vera protecting what was most precious on the wretched rock where she was held, and Grossman’s fearless examination of the human heart, this swift novel is a thrilling addition to the oeuvre of one of our greatest living novelists, whose revered moral voice continues to resonate around the world.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/489430Tue, 24 Aug 2021 07:11:12 +0000Malachi BoscoPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/489430 to listen full audiobooks.

It contains heartbreak and redemption, and a plucky, irresistible protagonist…[A] propulsive, empathetic novel.” —Shelf Awareness Little River, New York, 1994: April Sawicki is living in a motorless motorhome that her father won in a poker game. Failing out of school, picking up shifts at a local diner, she’s left fending for herself in a town where she’s never quite felt at home. When she “borrows” her neighbor’s car to perform at an open mic night, she realizes her life could be much bigger than where she came from. After a fight with her dad, April packs her stuff and leaves for good, setting off on a journey to find a life that’s all hers. Driving without a chosen destination, she stops to rest in Ithaca. Her only plan is to survive, but as she looks for work, she finds a kindred sense of belonging at Cafe Decadence, the local coffee shop. Still, somehow, it doesn’t make sense to her that life could be this easy. The more she falls in love with her friends in Ithaca, the more she can’t shake the feeling that she’ll hurt them the way she’s been hurt. As April moves through the world, meeting people who feel like home, she chronicles her life in the songs she writes and discovers that where she came from doesn’t dictate who she has to be. This lyrical, luminous tale “is both a profound love letter to creative resilience and a reminder that sometimes even tragedy can be a kind of blessing” (Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author).]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/465603Tue, 03 Aug 2021 07:11:12 +0000Malachi BoscoPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/465603 to listen full audiobooks.

Colleen and Rich Gundersen are raising their young son, Chub, on the rugged California coast. It’s 1977, and life in this Pacific Northwest logging town isn’t what it used to be. For generations, the community has lived and breathed timber; now that way of life is threatened. Colleen is an amateur midwife. Rich is a tree-topper. It’s a dangerous job that requires him to scale trees hundreds of feet tall—a job that both his father and grandfather died doing. Colleen and Rich want a better life for their son—and they take steps to assure their future. Rich secretly spends their savings on a swath of ancient redwoods. But when Colleen, grieving the loss of a recent pregnancy and desperate to have a second child, challenges the logging company’s use of the herbicides she believes are responsible for the many miscarriages in the community, Colleen and Rich find themselves on opposite sides of a budding conflict. As tensions in the town rise, they threaten the very thing the Gundersens are trying to protect: their family. Told in prose as clear as a spring-fed creek, Damnation Spring is an intimate, compassionate portrait of a family whose bonds are tested and a community clinging to a vanishing way of life. An extraordinary story of the transcendent, enduring power of love—between husband and wife, mother and child, and longtime neighbors.

The novel is itself like a sandy beach, equal parts beautiful and uncomfortable. . . . Lines blur and expectations aren’t met, keeping readers on their toes. . . . makes for a surprisingly fast-paced Palm Beach.” —Associated Press A thought-provoking page-turner from the author of When You Read This and Privilege that captures the painful divide between the haves and have-nots and the seductive lure of the American dream.  Living in a tiny Queens apartment, Rebecca and her husband Mickey typify struggling, 30-something New Yorkers—he’s an actor, and she’s a freelance journalist. But after the arrival of their baby son, the couple decides to pack up and head for sunny, comfortable Palm Beach, where Mickey’s been offered a sweet deal managing the household of a multimillionaire Democratic donor.  Once there, he quickly doubles his salary by going to work for a billionaire: venture capitalist Cecil Stone. Rebecca, a writer whose beat is economic inequality, is initially horrified: she pillories men like Stone, a ruthless businessman famous for crushing local newspapers. So no one is more surprised than her when she accepts a job working for Cecil’s wife as a ghostwriter, thinking of the excellent pay and the rare, inside look at this famous Forbes-list family. What she doesn’t expect is that she’ll grow close to the Stones, or become a regular at their high-powered dinners. And when a medical crisis hits, it’s the Stones who come to their rescue, using their power, influence, and wealth to avert catastrophe.  As she and Mickey are both pulled deeper into this topsy-turvy household, they become increasingly dependent on their problematic benefactors. Then when she discovers a shocking secret about the Stones, Rebecca will have to decide: how many compromises can one couple make?]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/493467Tue, 03 Aug 2021 07:11:12 +0000Malachi BoscoPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/493467 to listen full audiobooks.

Laurel Hill and her precocious daughter Skye have always been each other's everything. The pair live on Lake Superior, where the local school has classes of just four children, and the nearest hospital is a helicopter ride away. Though they live frugally, eking out a living with Laurel's patchwork of jobs, their deep love for each other feels like it can warm them even on the coldest of nights. What more do they need? One otherwise normal afternoon, their landlord decides to evict them in favor of a more profitable summer rental, and, without any warning, they are pushed farther to the margins. Suddenly it feels like the independence that has defined them is a liability. And when a dangerous incident threatens to separate them, Laurel and Skye must forever choose--will they leave the place they love and the hardscrabble life they've built to move closer to civilization, or risk everything to embrace the emptiness and wildness that has defined them?

One otherwise normal afternoon, their landlord decides to evict them in favor of a more profitable summer rental, and, without any warning, they are pushed farther to the margins. Suddenly it feels like the independence that has defined them is a liability. And when a dangerous incident threatens to separate them, Laurel and Skye must forever choose--will they leave the place they love and the hardscrabble life they've built to move closer to civilization, or risk everything to embrace the emptiness and wildness that has defined them?

Title: 1972: A Novel of Ireland’s Unfinished Revolution Series: #4 of Irish Century Author: Morgan Llywelyn Narrator: Mil Nicholson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 21 minutes Release date: July 27, 2021 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: The Irish Century series is the narrative of the epic struggle of the Irish people for independence through the tumultuous twentieth century. In 1972, Morgan Llywelyn tells the story of Ireland from 1950-1972 as seen through the eyes of young Barry Halloran, son and grandson of Irish revolutionaries. Northern Ireland has become a running sore, poisoning life on both sides of the Irish border. Following family tradition, at eighteen Barry joins the Irish Republican Army to help complete what he sees as 'the unfinished revolution'. But things are no longer as clear cut as they once were. His first experience of violence in Northern Ireland shocks and disturbs him. Yet he has found a sense of family in the Army which is hard to give up. He makes a partial break by becoming a photographer, visually documenting events in the north rather than physically taking part in them. An unhappy early love affair is followed by a tempestuous relationship with Barbara Kavanagh, a professional singer from America. Events lead Barry into a totally different life from the one he expected, yet his allegiance to the ideal of a thirty-two county Irish republic remains undimmed as the problems, and the violence, of Northern Ireland escalate. Then Barry finds himself in the middle of the most horrific event of all: Bloody Sunday in Derry, 1972.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/495065Tue, 27 Jul 2021 07:11:12 +0000Malachi BoscoPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/495065 to listen full audiobooks.

Married to three brothers in a single ceremony, she and her now-sisters spend their days hard at work in the family’s “china room,” sequestered from contact with the men—except when their domineering mother-in-law, Mai, summons them to a darkened chamber at night. Curious and strong willed, Mehar tries to piece together what Mai doesn’t want her to know. From beneath her veil, she studies the sounds of the men’s voices, the calluses on their fingers as she serves them tea. Soon she glimpses something that seems to confirm which of the brothers is her husband, and a series of events is set in motion that will put more than one life at risk. As the early stirrings of the Indian independence movement rise around her, Mehar must weigh her own desires against the reality—and danger—of her situation. Spiraling around Mehar’s story is that of a young man who arrives at his uncle’s house in Punjab in the summer of 1999, hoping to shake an addiction that has held him in its grip for more than two years. Growing up in small-town England as the son of an immigrant shopkeeper, his experiences of racism, violence, and estrangement from the culture of his birth led him to seek a dangerous form of escape. As he rides out his withdrawal at his family’s ancestral home—an abandoned farmstead, its china room mysteriously locked and barred—he begins to knit himself back together, gathering strength for the journey home. Partly inspired by award-winning author Sunjeev Sahota’s family history, China Room is both a deft exploration of how systems of power circumscribe individual lives and a deeply moving portrait of the unconquerable human capacity to resist them.

Edie is a respected interior designer, Mac is a beloved pediatrician, and they have two great kids and a historic home on tree-lined Linden Avenue. From the outside, the Swan family is the definition of “the good life.” And life is good—mostly. Until a young woman walks into Mac’s office one day.

As they wade through the upheaval in both their family and professional lives, they must each examine choices they made long ago and chart a new course for their future. - Full-length Southern women’s fiction - Stand-alone novel - Book length: 116,000 words - Also by Lauren K.

Hanna Halperin knows the fierce love that can exist especially among broken things. Something Wild moved me deeply.' —Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Untamed A searing novel about the love and contradictions of sisterhood, the intoxicating desires of adolescence, and the traumas that trap mothers and daughters in cycles of violence One weekend, sisters Tanya and Nessa Bloom pause their respective adult lives and travel to the Boston suburbs to help their mother pack up and move out of their childhood home. For the first time since they were teenagers sharing a bunk bed over a decade ago, they find themselves in the place where long-kept secrets were born, where jealousy, comfort, anger, forgiveness, and repulsion coexist with the fiercest love and loyalty. What they don't expect is for their visit to expose a new, horrifying truth: their mother, Lorraine, is in a violent relationship. As Tanya urges Lorraine to get a restraining order, Nessa struggles to reconcile her fondness for their stepfather with his capacity for brutality. Their differing responses to the abuse bring up the sisters' shared secret—a traumatic, unspoken experience from their adolescence has shaped their lives, their sense of selves, and their relationship with each other and the men in their life. In the midst of this family crisis, they have no choice but to reckon with the past and face each other in the present, in the hope that there's a way out of the violence so deeply ingrained in the Bloom family. Told in alternating perspectives that deftly interweave past and present, Something Wild is a magnetic, unflinching portrait of the bond between sisters, as well as a psychologically acute exploration of the legacy of divorce, the ways trauma reverberates over generations, and how it might be possible to overcome the past.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/497933Tue, 29 Jun 2021 07:11:12 +0000Malachi BoscoPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/497933 to listen full audiobooks.

A mesmerizing debut novel set in northern Texas about two sisters who discover an unsettling secret about their father, the head pastor of an evangelical megachurch, that upends their lives and community—a story of family, identity, and the delicate line between faith and deception. Luke Nolan has led the Hope congregation for more than a decade, while his wife and daughters have patiently upheld what it means to live righteously. Made famous by a viral sermon on purity co-written with his eldest daughter, Abigail, Luke is the prototype of a modern preacher: tall, handsome, a spellbinding speaker. But his younger daughter Caroline has begun to notice the cracks in their comfortable life. She is certain that her perfect, pristine sister is about to marry the wrong man—and Caroline has slid into sin with a boy she’s known her entire life, wondering why God would care so much about her virginity anyway. When it comes to light, five weeks before Abigail’s wedding, that Luke has been lying to his family, the entire Nolan clan falls into a tailspin. Caroline seizes the opportunity to be alone with her sister. The two girls flee to the ranch they inherited from their maternal grandmother, far removed from the embarrassing drama of their parents and the prying eyes of the community. But with the date of Abigail’s wedding fast approaching, the sisters will have to make a hard decision about which familial bonds are worth protecting. An intimate coming-of-age story and a modern woman’s read, God Spare the Girls lays bare the rabid love of sisterhood and asks what we owe our communities, our families, and ourselves. “A deeply felt book about love — love for family and community, for people who sustain you and people who disappoint you. And love for God, too, which Kelsey McKinney writes about with humane and incisive frankness.”—Linda Holmes, New York Times bestselling author of Evvie Drake Starts Over “The accomplishment of this canny novel is in positing coming of age itself as a loss of faith—not only in the church, but in our parents, our family, and the world as we thought we understood it.” — Rumaan Alam, New York Times bestselling author of Leave the World Behind and Rich and Pretty]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/489207Tue, 22 Jun 2021 07:11:12 +0000Malachi BoscoPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/489207 to listen full audiobooks.

Luke Nolan has led the Hope congregation for more than a decade, while his wife and daughters have patiently upheld what it means to live righteously. Made famous by a viral sermon on purity co-written with his eldest daughter, Abigail, Luke is the prototype of a modern preacher: tall, handsome, a spellbinding speaker. But his younger daughter Caroline has begun to notice the cracks in their comfortable life. She is certain that her perfect, pristine sister is about to marry the wrong man—and Caroline has slid into sin with a boy she’s known her entire life, wondering why God would care so much about her virginity anyway. When it comes to light, five weeks before Abigail’s wedding, that Luke has been lying to his family, the entire Nolan clan falls into a tailspin. Caroline seizes the opportunity to be alone with her sister. The two girls flee to the ranch they inherited from their maternal grandmother, far removed from the embarrassing drama of their parents and the prying eyes of the community. But with the date of Abigail’s wedding fast approaching, the sisters will have to make a hard decision about which familial bonds are worth protecting. An intimate coming-of-age story and a modern woman’s read, God Spare the Girls lays bare the rabid love of sisterhood and asks what we owe our communities, our families, and ourselves. “A deeply felt book about love — love for family and community, for people who sustain you and people who disappoint you. And love for God, too, which Kelsey McKinney writes about with humane and incisive frankness.”—Linda Holmes, New York Times bestselling author of Evvie Drake Starts Over “The accomplishment of this canny novel is in positing coming of age itself as a loss of faith—not only in the church, but in our parents, our family, and the world as we thought we understood it.” — Rumaan Alam, New York Times bestselling author of Leave the World Behind and Rich and Pretty]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/strange-flowers-a-novel-by-donal-ryan--65306400https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/466844 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: 1949: A Novel of the Irish Free State Series: #3 of Irish Century Author: Morgan Llywelyn Narrator: Mil Nicholson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 41 minutes Release date: June 8, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Morgan Llywelyn's masterly epic, the Irish Century, continues in 1949, a sequel to 1916 and 1921. The struggle of the Irish people for independence is one of the compelling historical dramas of the twentieth century. 1949 tells the story of Ursula Halloran, a fiercely independent young woman who comes of age in the 1920s. The tragedy of Irish civil war gives way in the 1920s to a repressive Catholic state led by Eamon De Valera. Married women cannot hold jobs, divorce is illegal, and the IRA has become a band of outlaws still devoted to and fighting for a Republic that never lived. The Great Depression stalks the world, and war is always on the horizon, whether in Northern Ireland, Spain, or elsewhere on the European continent. Ursula works for the fledgling Irish radio service and then for the League of Nations, while her personal life is torn between two men: an Irish civil servant and an English pilot. Defying Church and State, Ursula bears a child out of wedlock, though she must leave the country to do so, and nearly loses her life in the opening days of World War II. Eventually she returns to an Ireland that is steadfastly determined to remain neutral during the war.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/495064Tue, 08 Jun 2021 07:11:12 +0000Malachi BoscoPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/495064 to listen full audiobooks.

Mette is a private and socially awkward young woman, who finds something consoling in repetitive mathematical calculations. But she has been recently rejected in love, and feels stuck in an endless loop, no longer certain of her place in the world. As Brian Hall's new novel opens, Mette has gone missing. Her disappearance forces Saskia to reunite with Mette's father, Mark, an emotionally distant astronomy professor in Ithaca, to embark on a journey together to find her. Mette's path will take her across America and then to a fateful visit with her charismatic grandfather, Thomas, who formerly ran the commune north of Ithaca where Saskia was raised, and who now lives as a hermit in a windmill on a remote Danish island. Playing out over nine decades and three generations, and stitching together a dazzling array of subjects—from cosmology and classical music to number theory and  medieval mystery plays—The Stone Loves the World is a story of love, longing, and scientific wonder. It offers a moving reflection on the human search for truth, meaning, and connection in an often incomprehensible universe, and on the genuine surprises that the real world, and human society, can offer.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/482621Tue, 08 Jun 2021 07:11:12 +0000Malachi BoscoPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/482621 to listen full audiobooks.

Amy Ashton once dreamed of becoming an artist and creating beautiful objects. But now she simply collects them. Aquamarine bottles, bright yellow crockery, deep Tuscan red pots (and the odd slow cooker) take up every available inch of space in her house. Having suffered a terrible tragedy—one she staunchly refuses to let herself think about, thank you very much—she’s decided that it’s easier to love things instead of people. But when a new family moves in next door with two young boys, one of whom has a collection of his own, Amy’s carefully managed life starts to unravel, prompting her to question why she began to close herself off in the first place. As Amy embarks on a journey back into her past, she has to contend with nosy neighbors, a meddlesome government worker, the inept police, and a little boy whose love of bulldozers might just let Amy open up her heart—and her home—again.

Title: The Blackmailer's Guide to Love Author: Marian Thurm Narrator: Rebecca Gibel Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 13 minutes Release date: May 25, 2021 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: One of the many well-educated Ivy League graduates with literary ambitions who flock to New York City every year, twenty-five-year-old Melissa Fleischer has the great fortune to work as the assistant to Austin Bloch, an editor responsible for refining and publishing the work of some of America's most esteemed writers. But after she begins working at this prestigious magazine in the late 1970s, Mel soon learns that the extravagantly long lunches her boss indulges in actually belie his affairs with a stream of young women. Mel is left in the distressing position of lying about these never-ending betrayals to Austin's wife, Hillarie, who often calls while he is out of the office. But then, unexpectedly, the New Yorker begins publishing Mel's short stories, offering a spectacular start to what she hopes will be a long and fruitful writing career. Unfortunately, the exhilaration of being published by the magazine she reveres most is soon diminished both by Mel's deeply painful discovery that her own marriage—like Austin's—is far from idyllic, and her continuing complicity in Austin's betrayals. And nothing seems more difficult than the effort it will take to keep her marriage from falling apart.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/489631Tue, 25 May 2021 07:11:12 +0000Malachi BoscoPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/489631 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Cheat Day: A Novel Author: Liv Stratman Narrator: Allyson Ryan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 29 minutes Release date: May 25, 2021 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: This clever and witty debut novel about the unexpected consequences of one woman’s attempt to exert control over her life by adhering to a strict wellness routine is “the kind of book you devour in a day or two…sexy and funny, but also very perceptive” (BuzzFeed). Kit and David were college sweethearts. Now married and in their thirties, they live in Kit’s childhood home in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. While David has a successful career, jetting off on work trips to exciting destinations, Kit is stuck in a loop. She keeps quitting her job managing her sister’s bakery to seek a more ambitious profession, but fear of failure always brings her back to Sweet Cheeks. Kit finds a fraught solace in cycling through fad diets, which David, in his efforts to be supportive, follows along with her. Their latest program is the Radiant Regimen, an intense cleanse, and Kit is optimistic about embarking on a new chapter of healthy eating and self-control. Hungry in more ways than one, she soon falls into a flirtation with a carpenter named Matt who is building new shelves for the bakery kitchen. Unable to resist their mutual attraction, Kit and Matt soon begin a passionate affair. Kit suppresses her guilt by obsessing over her diet, pushing herself in greater extremes. Told in precise, intimate detail, Cheat Day is “an incredibly likable novel of hungers controlled and liberated, and marriage’s gray areas” (Booklist) that explores monogamy versus monotony, deprivation versus indulgence, and limitations of modern wellness.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/486018Tue, 25 May 2021 07:11:12 +0000Malachi BoscoPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/486018 to listen full audiobooks.

In the early years of the century, Nathan Walker leaves his native Georgia for New York City and the most dangerous job in America. A sandhog, he burrows beneath the East River, digging the tunnel that will carry trains from Brooklyn to Manhattan. Above ground, the sandhogs--black, white, Irish, Italian--keep their distance from each other until a spectacular accident welds a bond between Walker and his fellow diggers--a bond that will bless and curse the next three generations.

In tones ranging from bleak to disturbingly funny, Treefrog recounts his strategies of survival--killing rats, scavenging for discarded soda cans, washing in the snow.

Title: Swimming Back to Trout River: A Novel Author: Linda Rui Feng Narrator: Nancy Wu Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 16 minutes Release date: May 11, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: A “beautifully written, poignant exploration of family, art, culture, immigration…and love” (Jean Kwok, author of Searching for Sylvie Lee and Girl in Translation) set against the backdrop of China’s Cultural Revolution that follows a father’s quest to reunite his family before his precocious daughter’s momentous birthday, which Garth Greenwell calls “one of the most beautiful debuts I’ve read in years.” How many times in life can we start over without losing ourselves? In the summer of 1986, in a small Chinese village, ten-year-old Junie receives a momentous letter from her parents, who had left for America years ago: her father promises to return home and collect her by her twelfth birthday. But Junie’s growing determination to stay put in the idyllic countryside with her beloved grandparents threatens to derail her family’s shared future. Junie doesn’t know that her parents, Momo and Cassia, are newly estranged from one another in their adopted country, each holding close private tragedies and histories from the tumultuous years of their youth during China’s Cultural Revolution. While Momo grapples anew with his deferred musical ambitions and dreams for Junie’s future in America, Cassia finally begins to wrestle with a shocking act of brutality from years ago. For Momo to fulfill his promise, he must make one last desperate attempt to reunite all three family members before Junie’s birthday—even if it means bringing painful family secrets to light. Swimming Back to Trout River is a “symphony of a novel” (BookPage) that weaves together the stories of Junie, Momo, Cassia, and Dawn—a talented violinist from Momo’s past—while depicting their heartbreak and resilience, tenderly revealing the hope, compromises, and abiding ingenuity that make up the lives of immigrants. Feng’s debut is “filled with tragedy yet touched with life-affirming passion” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review), and “Feng weaves a plot both surprising and inevitable, with not a word to spare” (Booklist, starred review).]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/482492Tue, 11 May 2021 07:11:12 +0000Malachi BoscoPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/482492 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Lady Joker, Volume 1 Series: #1 of Lady Joker Author: Marie Iida, Kaoru Takamura Narrator: Brian Nishii Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 20 hours 51 minutes Release date: April 13, 2021 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: One of Japan's great modern masters, Kaoru Takamura, makes her English-language debut with this two-volume publication of her magnum opus. Tokyo, 1995. Five men meet at the racetrack every Sunday to bet on horses. They have little in common except a deep disaffection with their lives, but together they represent the social struggles and griefs of post-War Japan: a poorly socialized genius stuck working as a welder; a demoted detective with a chip on his shoulder; a Zainichi Korean banker sick of being ostracized for his race; a struggling single dad of a teenage girl with Down syndrome. The fifth man bringing them all together is an elderly drugstore owner grieving his grandson, who has died suspiciously after the revelation of a family connection with the segregated buraku community, historically subjected to severe discrimination. Intent on revenge against a society that values corporate behemoths more than human life, the five conspirators decide to carry out a heist: kidnap the CEO of Japan's largest beer conglomerate and extract blood money from the company's corrupt financiers. Inspired by the unsolved true-crime kidnapping case perpetrated by 'the Monster with 21 Faces,' Lady Joker has become a cultural touchstone since its 1997 publication, acknowledged as the magnum opus by one of Japan's literary masters, twice adapted for film and TV and often taught in high school and college classrooms.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/497488Tue, 13 Apr 2021 07:11:12 +0000Malachi BoscoPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/497488 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Night Always Comes: A Novel Author: Willy Vlautin Narrator: Christine Lakin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 5 minutes Release date: April 6, 2021 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: “Willy Vlautin is not known for happy endings, but there’s something here that defies the downward pull. In the end, Lynette is pure life force: fierce and canny and blazing through a city that no longer has space for her, and it’s all Portland’s loss.”—Portland Monthly Magazine Award-winning author Willy Vlautin explores the impact of trickle-down greed and opportunism of gentrification on ordinary lives in this scorching novel that captures the plight of a young woman pushed to the edge as she fights to secure a stable future for herself and her family. Barely thirty, Lynette is exhausted. Saddled with bad credit and juggling multiple jobs, some illegally, she’s been diligently working to buy the house she lives in with her mother and developmentally disabled brother Kenny. Portland’s housing prices have nearly quadrupled in fifteen years, and the owner is giving them a good deal. Lynette knows it’s their last best chance to own their own home—and obtain the security they’ve never had. While she has enough for the down payment, she needs her mother to cover the rest of the asking price. But a week before they’re set to sign the loan papers, her mother gets cold feet and reneges on her promise, pushing Lynette to her limits to find the money they need. Set over two days and two nights, The Night Always Comes follows Lynette’s frantic search—an odyssey of hope and anguish that will bring her face to face with greedy rich men and ambitious hustlers, those benefiting and those left behind by a city in the throes of a transformative boom. As her desperation builds and her pleas for help go unanswered, Lynette makes a dangerous choice that sets her on a precarious, frenzied spiral. In trying to save her family’s future, she is plunged into the darkness of her past, and forced to confront the reality of her life. A heart wrenching portrait of a woman hungry for security and a home in a rapidly changing city, The Night Always Comes raises the difficult questions we are often too afraid to ask ourselves: What is the price of gentrification, and how far are we really prepared to go to achieve the American Dream? Is the American dream even attainable for those living at the edges? Or for too many of us, is it only a hollow promise?]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/466379Tue, 06 Apr 2021 07:11:12 +0000Malachi BoscoPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/466379 to listen full audiobooks.

Series 8, Retribution: The Unravelling of a Murder, sees Stone grappling with grief after his wife's death, and struggling to look after his teenage daughter alone. DS Kelly, meanwhile, is preparing to get married, and feeling overwhelmed with wedding admin - but their personal lives are put on hold when the team is called to investigate a death at an inner-city hotel. How did respectable businessman Maxwell Foley come to fall from Room 608 - and why was he at the Beresford in the first place? To find out, Stone must navigate the murky, transient world of the hospitality industry... But as he comes closer to uncovering the truth, forces conspire to prevent past crimes from coming to light... Written by Martin Jameson and Richard Monks, this gripping drama features a full cast including Lizzie Stavrou (Hollyoaks) and Emma Cunniffe (Roadkill).

Meanwhile, their new investigation feels dangerously close to home. A teenager has been fatally stabbed, in what seems to be a totally unprovoked attack. The boy wasn't a known gang member, and his girlfriend Ruby claims she didn't recognise his killer. As the team search for leads, can they find out who was responsible before someone else gets hurt?

Title: King of Rabbits Author: Karla Neblett Narrator: Theo Solomon, Amaka Okafor Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 40 minutes Release date: March 25, 2021 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Kai lives in a mixed-race family on a rural council estate in Somerset where he and his three older sisters have three different dads, and his mum is being led into crack addiction by his petty-thief father. He idolises his dad, adores his friend Saffie and the school rabbit Flopsy, and is full of ambition to be the fastest runner in Middledown Primary. He and Saffie build a secret world of friendship in the school garden. But Kai's natural optimism, imagination and energy run up against adult behaviour he doesn't understand: his parents' on-and-off romance, his dad's increasing addiction and the limitations of poverty. Despite the people who try to look out for him, notably his loving Nanny Sheila and his big sister Leah, Kai's life drifts towards a tragedy from which it is hard for him to recover. The refuge he seeks in his love of nature, and the wild rabbits who have made their burrows in the woods, may not be refuge enough. Karla Neblett has created a vivid language that is both crafted and raw to tell a story of class, race and how our society fails working class young men. 'A brilliant debut; vivid and compelling.'

When her husband left her with a baby, a toddler and a fledgling business, Francesca managed--she wasn't always gentle or patient, but the business thrived and Chris and Angelina had food to eat. At nearly 70, she feels she's earned a peaceful retirement. But when a massive stroke leaves her voiceless, partially paralyzed and wholly reliant on the staff of an extended care facility, it seems her freedom is lost. However, Francesca is still clear-headed and sharp, and she knows one thing: she wants to live. She savours her view of a majestic chestnut tree through the hospital window, and speaks in her mind to her beloved friend Anna, dead for two years. The daily tasks and dramas of the rotating crew of care aides tether her to the world: Young Lily, eager to fall in love and regularly falling apart when things don't work out; Michiko, with her spiky hair and tattoos and wicked sense of humour; Molly, endlessly kind and skilled in her work; Blaire, cold and enigmatic. Amidst the indignities of bed baths and a feeding tube, Francesca is surprised to experience flashes of hilarity and joy, even the blossoming of a new friendship with a fellow patient. But as she reflects to Anna on her dutiful son and her troubled and absent daughter, regrets and painful realizations rise to the surface. For the first time, there is nowhere for Francesca to hide from her own choices, and she must reckon with her past before it's too late.

Elin Henriksen is a middle-aged single parent under pressure. Her formidable mother's health is declining, her fearless teenage daughter wants to leave but won't say where, and the new high school principal has problems with her unorthodox teaching of physics.

Title: A Bright Ray of Darkness Author: Ethan Hawke Narrator: Ethan Hawke Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 38 minutes Release date: February 2, 2021 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. 'Ethan Hawke is a true writer and his duality as an artist is skilfully reflected in A Bright Ray of Darkness. Hawke circles, descends, and crawls into his characters skin. Grimy shadows pass over the footlights, into the bowels of the theatre, where a struggling actor, perhaps mirroring the writer, seeks the vine of redemption, and claws his way into becoming. Bright Ray is a riveting work.' PATTI SMITH The first novel in nearly twenty years from the acclaimed actor/writer/director, A BRIGHT RAY OF DARKNESS is a book about art and love, fame and heartbreak -- a blistering story of a young man making his Broadway debut just as his marriage implodes. A bracing meditation on fame and celebrity, and the redemptive, healing power of art; a portrait of the ravages of disappointment and divorce; a poignant consideration of the rites of fatherhood and manhood; a novel soaked in rage and sex, longing and despair; and a passionate love letter to the world of theatre, A Bright Ray of Darkness showcases Ethan Hawke's gifts as a novelist as never before. Hawke's narrator is a young man in torment, disgusted with himself after the collapse of his marriage, still half-hoping for a reconciliation that would allow him to forgive himself and move on as he clumsily, and sometimes hilariously, tries to manage the wreckage of his personal life with whisky and sex. What saves him is the theatre: in particular, the challenge of performing Shakespeare in his Broadway debut under the leadership of a brilliant director. Searing, raw, and utterly transfixing, A Bright Ray of Darkness is a novel about shame and beauty and faith, and the moral power of art. © Ethan Hawke 2021 (P) Penguin Audio 2021]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/466860Tue, 02 Feb 2021 07:11:12 +0000Malachi BoscoPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/466860 to listen full audiobooks.

If Maxine could put her finger on the moment when her life went into a tailspin, she would point back twenty years to the day her daddy died. She tells herself he’s the only person who ever really knew and loved her, and if he hadn’t left her behind, her future would’ve taken a different path. No absentee mother, no stepfather, no rebellious ripping and running during her teenage years. And no JD, who gave her wandering young heart a home, at least for a time. But that’s over and done with. All grown-up now, Maxine has pledged her heart and ring finger to Theodore Charles, the man she’ll promise to love, honor, and obey in front of God and everybody. At least that’s what she’s telling anybody who will listen. The only folks buying it are the dog and the readers of her column, however. Her best friend and family aren’t having it―not even Celeste, the double bass–playing thirteen-year-old the community of Mount Laurel, North Carolina, believes is Maxine’s adopted sister. And apparently, neither is the newly returned JD, who seems intent on toppling Maxine’s reconstructed life. As her wedding day marches ever closer, Maxine confronts what it means to be really known and loved by examining what’s buried in her own heart and exposing truth that has never seen the light of day.

But even more than plot, it’s the richly layered details that drive home a lightning bolt of empathy. To read At the Edge of the Haight is to live inside the everyday terror and longings of a world that most of us manage not to see, even if we walk past it on sidewalks every day. At a time when more Americans than ever find themselves at the edge of homelessness, this book couldn’t be more timely.” —Barbara Kingsolver, author of Unsheltered and The Poisonwood Bible Maddy Donaldo, homeless at twenty, lives with her dog and makeshift family in the hidden spaces of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. She thinks she knows how to survive and whom to trust until she accidentally witnesses the murder of a young man. Her world is upended as she has to face not only the killer but also the police and then the victim’s parents, who desperately want Maddy to tell them about the life their son led after he left home. And in a desire to save her since they could not save their own son, they are determined to have Maddy reunite with her own lost family.   But what makes a family? Is it the people who raised you if they don’t have the skills to look after you? Is it the foster parents whose generosity only lasts until things become more difficult? Or is it the family that Maddy has met in the park, young people who also have nowhere else to go?   Told with sensitivity and tenderness and set against the backdrop of a radically changing city, At the Edge of the Haight is narrated by a young girl just beginning to understand herself.

She's enjoying simply being herself, with no responsibilities and no obligations. But her two younger sisters, Victoria and Charlotte, are concerned about her. Surely poor, unfulfilled Anna can't be happy without a partner or a family around? Determined to make an effort, they decide to draw her into their lives - and Anna's peaceful, commitment-free lifestyle soon disappears. Throughout these five series, she becomes embroiled in their various dramas and crises, as actress Charlotte suffers a series of career and romantic disappointments and housewife Victoria grows increasingly discontented with her husband Roger. And as Victoria's daughter Emily grows from sulky teen to young woman, she, too, starts to confide in her aunt Anna.

She's enjoying simply being herself, with no responsibilities and no obligations. But her two younger sisters, Victoria and Charlotte, are concerned about her. Surely poor, unfulfilled Anna can't be happy without a partner or a family around? Determined to make an effort, they decide to draw her into their lives - and Anna's peaceful, commitment-free lifestyle soon disappears. Throughout these five series, she becomes embroiled in their various dramas and crises, as actress Charlotte suffers a series of career and romantic disappointments and housewife Victoria grows increasingly discontented with her husband Roger. And as Victoria's daughter Emily grows from sulky teen to young woman, she, too, starts to confide in her aunt Anna. With all her relatives involving her in their affairs, will Anna still be able to forge her own path - and maybe even find romance?

Title: The Zelmenyaners: A Family Saga Author: Moyshe Kulback Narrator: David Skulski Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 22 minutes Release date: January 1, 2021 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: This is the first complete English-language translation of "The Zelmenyaners" a classic of Yiddish literature, one of the great comic novels of the twentieth century. The Zelmenyaners describes the travails of a Jewish family in Minsk that is torn asunder by the new Soviet reality. Four generations are depicted in riveting and often uproarious detail as they face the profound changes brought on by the demands of the Soviet regime and its collectivist, radical secularism. The resultant intergenerational showdowns-including disputes over the introduction of electricity, radio, or electric trolley-are rendered with humor, pathos, and a finely controlled satiric pen. Moyshe Kulbak, a contemporary of the Soviet Jewish writer Isaac Babel, picks up where Sholem Aleichem left off a generation before, exploring in this book the transformation of Jewish life. Moyshe Kulbak (1896-1937) was a leading Yiddish modernist poet, novelist, and dramatist.

Title: The Zelmenyaners: A Family Saga Author: Moyshe Kulback Narrator: David Skulski Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 22 minutes Release date: January 1, 2021 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: This is the first complete English-language translation of "The Zelmenyaners" a classic of Yiddish literature, one of the great comic novels of the twentieth century. The Zelmenyaners describes the travails of a Jewish family in Minsk that is torn asunder by the new Soviet reality. Four generations are depicted in riveting and often uproarious detail as they face the profound changes brought on by the demands of the Soviet regime and its collectivist, radical secularism. The resultant intergenerational showdowns-including disputes over the introduction of electricity, radio, or electric trolley-are rendered with humor, pathos, and a finely controlled satiric pen. Moyshe Kulbak, a contemporary of the Soviet Jewish writer Isaac Babel, picks up where Sholem Aleichem left off a generation before, exploring in this book the transformation of Jewish life. Moyshe Kulbak (1896-1937) was a leading Yiddish modernist poet, novelist, and dramatist. Arrested in 1937 during the wave of Stalinist repression that hit the Minsk Yiddish writers and cultural activists with particular vehemence, and given a perfunctory show trial, Kulbak was shot at the age of 41. Hillel Halkin, an acclaimed translator of Hebrew and Yiddish fiction, is the author, most recently, of Across the Sabbath River: In Search of a Lost Tribe of Israel and Yehuda Halevi.

Title: Open Heart Author: Gregory D. Williams Narrator: Derek Neumann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 20 minutes Release date: December 16, 2020 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Life is fleeting. Love is a gift. In this coming of age novel set in the 1970s, Gene Hull is whitewashing the trunks of Arizona citrus trees when he spots a beautiful girl and falls instantly in love. The girl is vulnerable and shy. Though Gene breaks through her reserve, a date at a wave park turns into a near disaster, and Gene must call on the one person he can always rely on-his doctor father. Although the girl survives and Gene wins her over, what will happen when they leave for college? Is she truly 'the one,' or will distance drive them apart? When a freak accident blows a hole in Gene's freshman year, his grades tank, and he bobbles the ball with the love of his life. She's gone forever. Not only that, but he'll never get into med school on grades alone. Hoping to improve his chances of admission, he spends the summer trailing a famous heart surgeon. But can Gene, determined to live up to his father's legacy, turn his summer in the 'Heart Room'-an operating theater of chilling cold, bone saws, and macabre humor-into an experience that would make his father proud? Will he ever love again? If you like novels where family life is complicated, and parents' expectations trickle down into their children's lives, then you'll love Gregory D.

Title: Adult Conversation Author: Brandy Ferner Narrator: Brandy Ferner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 2 minutes Release date: December 15, 2020 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: April is a thoughtful yet sarcastic mother of two who tries her best to be a caring, connected mom in a middle-class culture where motherhood has become relentless. April rages at modern motherhood’s impossible pressures, her husband’s “Dad privilege”, and her kids’ incessant snack requests. She wants to enjoy motherhood, but her idealist vision and lived experience are in constant conflict with one another. Is she broken—or is motherhood? Desperate for an answer, she seeks out a therapist, and lands with an unexpected woman whose validation and wisdom gives April the clarity to reclaim herself and even start designing clothes—her pre-motherhood passion. But when the ever-elusive babysitter cancels last-minute, April finds herself back at square one. She seeks guidance, but her therapist is now dealing with her own crumbling marriage—and instead of counseling April, she convinces her to speed off to Las Vegas to help catch her husband cheating. With a little weed, alcohol, and topless pool hopping, plus a male stripper and some much-needed autonomy, the two find lost pieces of themselves that motherhood swallowed up. But neither one is prepared for how tested—and tempted—they will be, or for the life-altering choices their journey will force them to make.

Title: The Butterfly Effect Author: Rachel Mans Mckenny Narrator: Carly Robins Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 48 minutes Release date: December 8, 2020 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Is there such a thing as an anti-social butterfly? If there were, Greta Oto would know about it—and totally relate. An entomologist, she far prefers the company of bugs to humans, and that's okay—people don't seem to like her all that much anyway, with the exception of her twin brother, Danny. But they've recently had a falling out, so when she lands a research gig in the rainforest, she leaves it all behind. But then Greta learns that Danny has suffered an aneurysm and is hospitalized, so she abandons her research and hurries home to be there for him. But there's only so much she can do, and unfortunately just like insects, humans don't stay cooped up in their hives either—they buzz about and...socialize. Coming home means confronting all that she left behind, including her lousy soon-to-be sister-in-law, her estranged mother, and her ex-boyfriend Brandon, who has conveniently found a new non-lab-exclusive partner with shiny hair and perfect teeth who can actually remember the names of people she meets. Brandon runs the only butterfly conservatory in town, and her dissertation is now in jeopardy. So being back home? It's creating chaos in Greta's perfectly catalogued and compartmentalized world. The Butterfly Effect is an honest tale of self-discovery about the behavior of bugs (and people), how they can be altered by high-pressure climates and confused by breakdowns in communication, and, most importantly, how they can rehabilitate themselves and each other.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/487169Tue, 08 Dec 2020 07:11:12 +0000Malachi BoscoPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/487169 to listen full audiobooks.

Fifteen years ago, seventeen-year-old Vanessa Moran fell in love and lost her virginity but not to the same boy. Pregnant, desperate, and humiliated, she fled friends and family and Whisper Beach, New Jersey, never breathing a word about her secret to anyone. She hasn’t been back since. Now a professional Manhattan organizer, she returns to the funeral of her best friend’s husband. She intends on just paying her respects and leaving—though she can’t deny she also wants the town to see how far she’s come as a successful business woman. But her plans to make this a short visit fall by the wayside when her girlfriends have other ideas. Dorie, the owner of the pier’s Blue Crab Restaurant where Van and her friends worked as teenagers, needs help. Dorie’s roving husband spends every penny they make and now their restaurant is failing.

Title: Filthy Sugar Author: Heather Babcock Narrator: Jacqueline Pillon Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 29 minutes Release date: November 15, 2020 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Set in the mid-1930s, Filthy Sugar tells the story of Wanda Whittle, a nineteen-year-old dreamer who models fur coats in an uptown department store, but who lives in a crowded rooming house with her hard-working widowed mother and shrewd older sister, Evelyn, in the "slums" behind the city's marketplace; a world where "death is always close but life is stubborn." Bored with the daily grind and still in shock from the sudden death of her father, Wanda finds both escapism and inspiration in the celluloid fantasies of the Busby Berkeley musicals, Greta Garbo dramas, and Jean Harlow sex comedies. Strutting up and down the aisles of Blondell's department store, her peep-toe high heels drumming out a steady beat on the waxed linoleum floors, Wanda fantasizes that she's Ruby Keeler, the tap dancing sweetheart from 42nd Street. But Wanda wants more than to wear a glamourous woman's coat-she wants to live inside of her flesh. Her dreams come true after a chance encounter with the mysterious Mr. Manchester, proprietor of the Apple Bottom burlesque theatre. Suddenly Wanda is thrust into a world of glitter and grit. Descending from the rickety, splintered roof top of the Apple Bottom theatre on a red velvet swing, Wanda Whittle morphs into a dream named Wanda Wiggles; sweeter than a strawberry sundae and tastier than a deep dish apple pie. At the Apple Bottom she meets Lili Belle, a naughty cartoon flapper brought to life; Queenie, a sultry headliner whom Wanda feels drawn to like a bee to a butterfly bush; the sweet and salty Eddie, a drummer who thumps out his words like bullets from a machine gun and Brock Baxter, the Apple Bottom's vaudevillian comic whose apple cheeked, pretty boy exterior belies his sinister intentions. All will have an impact on Wanda's journey. Cowardly boxers, shady coppers, dime store hoodlums, and painted ladies-Wanda will encounter them all! On her voyage from rags to riches and back again, Wanda experiences a sexual awakening and achieves personal independence as she discovers that a girl doesn't need a lot of sugar to be sensational!]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/485649Sun, 15 Nov 2020 07:11:12 +0000Malachi BoscoPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/485649 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Imago Stage Author: Karoline Georges Narrator: Adrienne Wilson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 17 minutes Release date: November 15, 2020 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: A woman must emerge from the virtual world she's created to confront her flesh-and-blood past and family. Growing up with a menacing drunk for a father and a grief-stricken mother, a girl spends her 1980s childhood staring at the television to escape the tension, depression, and looming violence that fill her suburban home. After winning a modelling competition, she dedicates herself to becoming a placid image onto which anything can be projected, a blank slate with a blank stare. Earning enough in Paris to retire in her twenties, she buys a studio in Montreal and retreats from the world and its perceived threats, cultivating her existence as an image through her virtual reality avatar. But when her mother develops cancer and nears the end of her life, she is forced to leave her cocoon - surrounded by her posse of augmented reality superheroes - and interact with the world and her parents without the mask of her perfect, virtual self. Georges offers up an alienated childhood with shifting pop culture obsessions, a woman's awakening to the role of the image in culture, and her eventual isolation in her apartment and the world online. It is a catalogue of the anxieties of an age, from nuclear war to terrorism, climate change to biological warfare. Set in the past and not-too-distant future of Montreal, The Imago Stage is an ominous tale of oppression, suppression, and disembodiment.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/485643Sun, 15 Nov 2020 07:11:12 +0000Malachi BoscoPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/485643 to listen full audiobooks.

There, they frolicked in the snow, baked sugar cookies, and celebrated the town's annual Christmas extravaganza. They haven't been back to Colorado in nearly fifteen years, but when their aunt invites them for one last Christmas, they can't say no... With her ex-husband whisking her children away for the holiday, Dahlia decides it's time to do something for herself. Juniper Springs is just as beautiful as she remembers, but it's also full of surprises—like the town's handsome doctor, who makes her feel like herself again for the first time in years.

Die Mavericks verlieben sich jedoch alle Hals über Kopf in unglaubliche Frauen und stellen dabei fest, dass wahre Liebe das Einzige ist, was bisher gefehlt hat ... Will Franconi hat eine schlimme Vergangenheit hinter sich, die er stets im Verborgenen hält. Nur wenige kennen die ganze Geschichte und das soll auch so bleiben. Seine Kindheit war die Hölle. Doch jetzt lebt er seinen Traum. Alles, was er anfasst, wird zu Gold. Aber irgendetwas fehlt ihm. Bis ein einfacher Brief eines Teenagers die atemberaubende Harper Newman in sein Leben wirbelt. Wird sie den leeren Platz in seinem Herzen füllen? Ist er ihrer Liebe würdig? Was könnte ein Mann, der mehr Geld hat, als er in fünf Lebzeiten ausgeben kann, bloß von ihr wollen?, fragt sich Harper. Sie hat auf die harte Tour gelernt, dass reiche Männer immer ihren Willen bekommen, egal um welchen Preis. Allein käme sie damit schon zurecht, aber sie ist der Vormund ihres jüngeren Bruders, der sie braucht. Nach seinem beinahe tödlichen Autounfall, schwor sie sich, dass niemand ihn je wieder würde verletzen können. Doch Harper sehnt sich manchmal danach, nicht mehr vorsichtig sein zu müssen, sondern eine mutige Abenteurerin mit einem ausgelassenen, freien Leben - besonders, seit Wills Küsse und Liebkosungen ihr den Atem rauben. Als er beginnt, sich ihr zu öffnen, stellt sie fest, dass hinter der reichen, privilegierten Fassade ein freundlicher, großzügiger Mann steckt. Ein Mann, dem es gelingt, die Leere auszufüllen, die zu lange in ihr geherrscht hat. Werden sie es gemeinsam schaffen, aus ihrem Leben ein Happy End zu zaubern, wo doch beide nicht mehr darauf gehofft hatten?

Title: [German] - Verliebt bis über beide Ohren (Die Maverick Milliardäre 1)  Series: #1 of Die Maverick Milliardäre Author: Jennifer Skully, Bella Andre Narrator: Denis Rühle Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 17 minutes Release date: October 15, 2020 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Wir stellen vor: die Maverick-Milliardäre - sexy Männer, die sich gemeinsam durch die Hölle nach oben gekämpft haben und nun alles besitzen, was man sich nur wünschen kann. Die Mavericks verlieben sich jedoch alle Hals über Kopf in unglaubliche Frauen und stellen dabei fest, dass wahre Liebe das Einzige ist, was bisher gefehlt hat ... Will Franconi hat eine schlimme Vergangenheit hinter sich, die er stets im Verborgenen hält. Nur wenige kennen die ganze Geschichte und das soll auch so bleiben. Seine Kindheit war die Hölle. Doch jetzt lebt er seinen Traum. Alles, was er anfasst, wird zu Gold. Aber irgendetwas fehlt ihm. Bis ein einfacher Brief eines Teenagers die atemberaubende Harper Newman in sein Leben wirbelt. Wird sie den leeren Platz in seinem Herzen füllen? Ist er ihrer Liebe würdig? Was könnte ein Mann, der mehr Geld hat, als er in fünf Lebzeiten ausgeben kann, bloß von ihr wollen?, fragt sich Harper. Sie hat auf die harte Tour gelernt, dass reiche Männer immer ihren Willen bekommen, egal um welchen Preis. Allein käme sie damit schon zurecht, aber sie ist der Vormund ihres jüngeren Bruders, der sie braucht. Nach seinem beinahe tödlichen Autounfall, schwor sie sich, dass niemand ihn je wieder würde verletzen können. Doch Harper sehnt sich manchmal danach, nicht mehr vorsichtig sein zu müssen, sondern eine mutige Abenteurerin mit einem ausgelassenen, freien Leben - besonders, seit Wills Küsse und Liebkosungen ihr den Atem rauben. Als er beginnt, sich ihr zu öffnen, stellt sie fest, dass hinter der reichen, privilegierten Fassade ein freundlicher, großzügiger Mann steckt. Ein Mann, dem es gelingt, die Leere auszufüllen, die zu lange in ihr geherrscht hat. Werden sie es gemeinsam schaffen, aus ihrem Leben ein Happy End zu zaubern, wo doch beide nicht mehr darauf gehofft hatten? Die Maverick Milliardäre 1: Verliebt bis über beide Ohren 2: Liebe ist nur was für Mutige 3: Keine Angst vor der Liebe 4: Keine Chance gegen die Liebe 5: Grenzenlos verliebt 6: Im Bann deiner Liebe 'Jedes Buch ist so bemerkenswert, dass man die Figuren tatsächlich liebgewinnt.

Bella Andres Liebesromanserie, die zum New York Times Bestseller wurde, beginnt mit der bewegenden, witzigen und erotischen Liebesgeschichte LIEBE IN DEINEN AUGEN.  Als Chloe Petersons Auto während eines Unwetters in Napa Valley ins Schleudern gerät und in einem Graben landet, glaubt sie nicht, dass der attraktive Mann, der ihr zur Rettung kommt, etwas Gutes im Sinne hat, denn sie hat guten Grund, keinem Mann zu trauen: Dem letzten, dem sie vertraute, verdankt sie den Bluterguss auf ihrer Wange. Der erfolgreiche Fotograf Chase Sullivan reist oft in ferne Länder und es mangelt ihm nie an schönen Frauen. Chase glaubt, dass sein Leben perfekt ist - bis er eines Nachts auf Chloe trifft, deren Wagen einen Totalschaden hat. Chase ist nicht nur von ihrer äußeren und inneren Schönheit angetan, sondern bemerkt auch schnell, dass Chloe viel schlimmere Probleme hat als nur ihr kaputtes Auto. Chloe hat sich geschworen, nie wieder den Fehler zu machen, einem Mann ihr Vertrauen zu schenken. Aber mit jedem liebevollen Blick von Chase - und mit jeder sündhaften und zärtlichen Berührung - lodert das Feuer der Anziehung zwischen ihnen stärker und sie fragt sich, ob sie mit Chase eine Ausnahme machen kann.

Title: [German] - Die Marschallin: Roman Author: Zora Del Buono Narrator: Brigitte Trübenbach Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 12 minutes Release date: July 16, 2020 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Zora del Buono hat von ihrer Großmutter nicht nur den Vornamen geerbt, sondern auch ein Familienverhängnis, denn die alte Zora war in einen Raubmord verwickelt. Ihre Geschichte und die Folgen bis heute erzählt dieser große Familienroman. Die Slowenin Zora lernt ihren späteren Ehemann, den Radiologieprofessor Pietro Del Buono, am Ende des Ersten Weltkriegs kennen. Sie folgt ihm nach Bari in Süditalien, wo sie, beide überzeugte Kommunisten, ein großbürgerliches und doch politisch engagiertes Leben im Widerstand gegen den Faschismus Mussolinis führen. Zora ist herrisch, eindrucksvoll, temperamentvoll und begabt, eine Bewunderin Josip Broz Titos, dem sie Waffen zu liefern versucht und dem ihr Mann das Leben rettet. Sie will mehr sein, als sie kann, und drückt doch allen in ihrer Umgebung ihren Stempel auf. Ihr Leben und das Leben ihrer Familie, ihrer Kinder und Enkelkinder, vollziehen sich in einer Zeit der Kriege und der Gewalt, erbitterter territorialer und ideologischer Kämpfe, die unsere Welt bis heute prägen. In einem grandiosen Schlussmonolog erzählt die alte Zora Del Buono ihre Geschichte zu Ende, eine Geschichte der Liebe, der Leidenschaft, des Hasses und des Verrats. 'Die Marschallin' ist ein farbiger, lebenspraller Roman über eine unvergessliche Frau und ein fatales Familienverhängnis. ''Die Marschallin' setzt nicht nur einer faszinierenden, widersprüchlichen Figur ein Denkmal, sondern lässt eine ganze Epoche erstehen, und wir bewegen uns staunend durch eine Welt, in der Multikulturalität zum ganz selbstverständlichen Alltag gehörte.'

In Deutschland werden die Sagas oft mit 'Sagen' verwechselt, mit Volksmärchen von Elfen und Trollen, und insbesondere mit der in der Edda geschilderten nordischen Mythologie, der Götterwelt um Odin und Thor. In Island sind die Sagas allgegenwärtig, ihre Helden präsent wie gute Bekannte. Jede Region Islands hat ihre eigene Saga - mündlich überlieferte Geschehnisse aus der Anfangszeit der isländischen Gesellschaft. Die Saga-Aufnahmen knüpfen an die jahrhundertealte Erzähltradition auf Island an. Thomas Böhm und Klaus Sander haben für dieses mehrteilige Editionsprojekt zahlreiche Islandreisen unternommen und auf ihren Aufnahmetouren Deutsch sprechende Isländer ihre persönlichen Geschichten und Erkenntnisse zu den Sagas erzählen lassen. Die Veröffentlichung der Saga-Aufnahmen beginnt mit den Erzählungen zweier großer Isländersagas: Arthúr Björgvin Bollason erzählt Die Saga von Njáll (Njáls saga) über den Helden Gunnar, dem eine Ohrfeige, die er seiner Frau gibt, zum Verhängnis wird und seinem Freund Njáll, dem größten Rechtskenner seiner Zeit, der mit seiner Familie einem 'Mordbrand' zum Opfer fällt. Sigrún Valbergsdóttir erzählt die Die Saga der Leute aus dem Lachsflusstal (Laxdæla saga), den Nachkommen der ersten Siedlerin Islands, die tragische Liebeshändel und Familienfehden austragen, in deren Hintergrund sich die in der europäischen Geschichte einzigartige, unblutige Christianisierung Islands im Jahre 1000 vollzieht. Um den Spuren der Landschaft in den Geschichten nachzugehen, wurden die Saga-Erzählungen an den Originalschauplätzen aufgenommen, die im Booklet auch fotografisch dokumentiert sind: im Angesicht der großartigen Panoramen der isländischen Historie und Natur, deren Geräusche als Hintergrund Eingang in die Aufnahmen fanden. Neben den Erzählungen der beiden Sagas sind weitere Aufnahmen zu hören, auf denen die Schriftsteller Einar Kárason, Kristof Magnusson und Kristín Steinsdóttir, die Wissenschaftler Klaus von See, Julia Zernack und Árni Björnsson, sowie als historischer Originalton der Nobelpreisträger Halldór Laxness in einführenden Erläuterungen und Kommentaren die historischen und kulturgeschichtlichen Hintergründe der Isländersagas erschließen - einem außerhalb Islands weitgehend unbekannten, europäischen Kulturschatz.

Title: B. J. Harrison Reads David Copperfield Author: Charles Dickens Narrator: B.J.Harrison Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 38 hours 40 minutes Release date: November 10, 2016 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: David Copperfield was a little boy who grew up in an unfortunate family. His father died six months before David’s birth. Later his mother remarried to a cruel man who beat him up. David however fought back and bit him. This resulted in David getting sent to a boarding school which he did not finish because of his mother’s death. All in all, David’s life has been a string of misfortunes. His development from infancy to maturity happened unnecessarily fast. Will he still be able to succeed in life and overcome all these setbacks or will he fall victim to his circumstances like so many have before him? The Classic Tales with B. J. Harrison B. J. Harrison started his Classic Tales Podcast back in 2007, wanting to breathe new life into classic stories. He masterfully plays with a wide array of voices and accents and has since then produced over 500 audiobooks. Now in collaboration with SAGA Egmont, his engaging narration of these famous classics is available to readers everywhere. Charles Dickens was an English author who lived in the period 1812 – 1870. He is regarded as one of the best and most influential authors of the Victorian era as he provided a portrait of the underclass and the poor conditions that people lived in in this period. This led to social awareness and furthered change. Charles Dickens’ style was a vivid combination of fantasy and realism, personal life experience and fiction, and because of the way he conveyed his ideas, his literature appealed to both the rich and the poor. Some of his best known works are “David Copperfield”, “A Christmas Carol”, “Oliver Twist” and many more. His popularity remains strong today and it may be due to the fact that “amid all the variety of 'readings', those of Mr. Charles Dickens stand alone” as “The Times” wrote in 1868.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/486446Thu, 10 Nov 2016 07:11:12 +0000Malachi BoscoPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/486446 to listen full audiobooks.
