Summary:

An epic story of love, tragedy and the loss of innocence, set against the background of the Russian Revolution after the murder of Rasputin.

It is 1916 and Rasputin has finally been killed by those who have long feared his influence over Tsar Nicholas and Tsarina Alexandra. But for Princess Militza, famed as one of the 'Witches of St Petersburg', and her daughter Nadezhda, life is about to become extremely dangerous. Revolution is bubbling and with it will come the murder of the Romanov imperial family. Now the rest of the court is also on the run, fleeing from the mob.

Against this violent and turbulent backdrop, Nadezhda, the witch's daughter, finds in exile and captivity an extraordinary and unlikely love. They say nothing heals like the heart, but as the Red Army marches south and the remnants of the Russian court finds itself trapped in the Crimea, with their backs to the sea, Nadezhda and her beloved Prince Orlov must take the gamble of their lives.

Title: Inequality of Wealth

Author: Liam Byrne

Narrator: Keith Wickham

Format: Unabridged

Length: 08:22:45

Language: English

Release date: 01-25-24

Publisher: W.F. Howes

Genres: Business & Economics

Summary:

A wide-ranging and compelling account of the historical and current causes of wealth inequality, offering prescriptions for lasting solutions to an intractable problem, and for a more equitable distribution of wealth and resources.

Is equality possible in the 21st century? In The Inequality of Wealth, Liam Byrne, a former Treasury minister in Gordon Brown's government, argues that the economics of the next ten years will be critical in determining the answer to this question - and the nature of all our futures.

Surveying five centuries of British capitalism and the damage wrought by the socially divisive policies of the last ten years, Byrne warns that we're fast approaching a point of no return beyond which we bequeath to Generation Z a dystopian future of irreversible rifts between the super-rich and the rest that erodes the internal bonds of once united countries and triggers the failure or the fracturing of nations. Yet it doesn't need to be like this. Change is now happening so fast that we're seeing the stuff of science fiction become a reality in our own lives. The future won't be land of milk and honey but it could be a place where we live longer, happier healthier and wealthier lives. But only if we master new ways of sharing wealth without war or revolution.

Liam Byrne draws on conversations and debates with former prime ministers, presidents and policymakers around the world together with experts at the OECD, World Bank, and IMF to argue that, after twenty years of statistics and slogans, it's time for solutions that aren't just radical but plausible and achievable as well.

Title: Lovers in Auschwitz: A True Story

Author: Keren Blankfeld

Narrator: Suzanne Toren

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11:37:23

Language: English

Release date: 01-25-24

Publisher: PGRH UK

Genres: Biography & Memoir, World, History & Culture, Military

Summary:

Brought to you by Penguin.

Zippi Spitzer and David Wisnia were captivated by each other from the moment they first exchanged glances across the work floor. It was the beginning of a love story that could have happened anywhere. Except for one difference: this romance was unfolding in history's most notorious death camp, between two young prisoners whose budding intimacy risked dooming them if they were caught.

Incredibly, David and Zippi survived for years beneath the ash-choked skies of Auschwitz. Under the protection of their fellow inmates, their romance grew and deepened, even as their brushes with death mounted and David's luck in particular seemed close to running out. As the war's end finally approached and the time came for them to leave the camp, David and Zippi made plans to meet again. But neither of them could imagine how long their reunion would take or how many lives they would live in the interim. They had no inkling, either, of the betrayals that would await them along the way. But David did suspect that Zippi harbored a secret-one that could explain the mystery of his survival all those years ago.

An unbelievable tale of romance, sacrifice, loss, and resilience, Lovers in Auschwitz is a saga of two young people who found themselves trapped inside a waking nightmare of the Nazis' creation, yet who nevertheless discovered a love that sustained them through history's darkest hour.

Release date: 01-24-24

Summary:

“Omg I didn't expect this!... heartbreaking, raw, powerful and tense. I was invested in the characters right away and couldn't turn the pages fast enough. When you finally reach the action-packed end it will leave you asking yourself just how far you would go for you and your family to survive.” Reader review,

An unforgettable and heartbreaking story about one woman’s determination to keep her family together when the world falls apart.

“Mom, why are you so mad at Dad?”

“I’m not,” I say, which isn’t exactly true. Putting on a brave face for my two young daughters—pretending everything is fine in my marriage—has been hard. That, and losing the house after Daniel lied to me.

I never expected to have to uproot my family to go live in my parents’ isolated cottage on Lost Lake. It’s twenty miles to the nearest town, an insignificant speck in endless pine forests. Nobody’s lived here for a decade.

Now, I pick up a rusty pail from its nest of autumn leaves and turn to my daughter. Suddenly, I recall how I used to help my own mother pick wild strawberries up here as a little girl. Maybe, this isn’t a punishment. Maybe this place will be the making of our family.

Later, I’ll hold on to these memories—ghostly shreds of another life. Because just eight hours after I tucked my daughters into bed, feeling so hopeful, the world as I knew it—as anyone knew it—was gone for good.

What do you do when the worst thing in the world happens to your family? A gripping, beautiful story that will break your heart from a million-copy bestselling author. For fans of Boo Walker, Where the Forest Meets the Stars and Julianne MacLean.

What readers are saying about this book:

“I wasn’t expecting such an emotionally charged novel of such a high standard that I couldn’t stop reading, and when I reluctantly had to tear myself away from my Kindle I was continually thinking of the story… Thank you, Kate, for writing this unbelievably gripping novel that I can’t stop thinking about… This really is one of those novels that you don’t want to miss, I’d give it double the number of stars if I could.” Reader review,

“One of the best books I’ve read this year… I couldn’t put this one down and was so bummed when it was finished. I have read other books by Kate Hewitt but this is so different than her other books. Highly recommend!” Reader review,

“This fabulous book kept me enthralled… We see the best and the worst of humanity in a situation that – frighteningly – could happen to any of us… A nail-biter and cliffhanger with a positive feel, all in one… More please! And five stars for this one.” Reader review,

“Omg I didn't expect this!... heartbreaking, raw, powerful and tense. I was invested in the characters right away and couldn't turn the pages fast enough. When you finally reach the action-packed end it will leave you asking yourself just how far you would go for you and your family to survive.” Reader review,

“An emotionally charged page-turner that I could not put down!… I highly recommend The Last Stars in the Sky to anyone seeking a gripping tale that resonates long after the final page.

Title: Quarterlife: The Search for Self in Early Adulthood

Author: Satya Doyle Byock

Narrator: Satya Doyle Byock

Format: Unabridged

Length: 06:41:01

Language: English

Release date: 01-18-24

Publisher: PGRH UK

Genres: Non-Fiction, Health & Wellness, Psychology, Mental Health

Summary:

Brought to you by Penguin.

Why do I feel lost? What's wrong with me? Is this all there is?

Satya Doyle Byock hears these questions regularly in her psychotherapy practice, where she works with Quarterlifers - people between the ages of twenty to forty - who are searching for meaning and direction in their lives. She understands their frustration. Some clients have done everything 'right': graduate, get a job, meet a partner - yet they are unfulfilled. Others are still struggling to find their way in the world, and are unclear on what to do next.

Quarterlife offers a compassionate roadmap for finding understanding, happiness, and wholeness in early adulthood. While society is quick to label the struggles of young people as generational traits, Byock sees things differently. She believes these emotions are part of the developmental journey of Quarterlife, a distinct stage that every person goes through, and which has been virtually ignored by psychology and popular culture.

Through the stories of four of her clients, Byock shows us how this search can start with the right questions. Blending personal storytelling with mythology, Jungian psychology with pop culture and literature, Quarterlife pioneers a new way of thinking about adult life, to help us navigate our futures and ourselves.

'I wish I had this guide when I was in my 20s and 30s but even now, it offers me a nuanced perspective on how I am built, how I operate in the world' Avni Doshi, author of Burnt Sugar

Language: English

Summary:

Munich, 1935 - The Bavarian capital is a magnet for young, aristocratic Britons who come to learn German, swim in the lakes and drink beer in the cellars.

What they don't see - or choose to ignore - is the brutal underbelly of the Nazi movement which considers Munich its spiritual home.

When a high-born English girl is murdered, Detective Sebastian Wolff is ordered to solve the crime. Wolff is already walking a tight line between doing his job and falling foul of the political party he abhors. Now Hitler is taking a personal interest in the case.

Followed by the secret police and threatened by his own son, a fervent member of the Hitler Youth, the stakes have never been higher. And when Wolff begins to suspect that the killer might be linked to the highest reaches of the Nazi hierarchy, he fears his task is simply impossible - and that he might become the next victim.
