Publisher's Summary:

A riveting historical art mystery for fans of Chasing Vermeer and The Westing Game, set in the Roaring '20s!

It's 1929, and 12-year-old Martha has no choice but to work as a maid in the New York City mansion of the wealthy Sewell family. But, despite the Gatsby-like parties and trimmings of success, she suspects something might be deeply wrong in the household - specifically with Rose Sewell, the formerly vivacious lady of the house who now refuses to leave her room. The other servants say Rose is crazy, but scrappy, strong-willed Martha thinks there's more to the story - and that the paintings in the Sewells' gallery contain a hidden message detailing the truth. But in a house filled with secrets, nothing is quite what it seems, and no one is who they say. Can Martha follow the clues, decipher the code, and solve the mystery of what's really going on with Rose Sewell?

Inspired by true events described in a fascinating author's note, The Gallery is a 1920s caper told with humor and spunk that listeners today will love.

Good story but Not for kids

I saw this book in the children section, but I don't think it is appropriate for children. it is a book reminiscent of Kate Morton's style. we are told and ending at the begining and then slowing discover how the ending came to be (or not?).

Title: Enchanted Islands

Subtitle: A Novel

Author: Allison Amend

Narrator: Dina Pearlman

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 13 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-24-16

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 73 votes

Genres: Fiction, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

Inspired by the midcentury memoirs of Frances Conway, Enchanted Islands is the dazzling story of an independent American woman whose path takes her far from her native Minnesota when she and her husband, an undercover intelligence officer, are sent to the Galápagos Islands at the brink of World War II.

Born in Duluth, Minnesota, in 1882 to immigrant parents, Frances Frankowski covets the life of her best friend, Rosalie Mendel, who has everything Fanny could wish for - money, parents who value education, and an effervescent and winning personality. When, at age 15, Rosalie decides they should run away to Chicago, Fanny jumps at the chance to escape her unexceptional life. But within a year, Rosalie commits an unforgivable betrayal, inciting Frances to strike out on her own.

Decades later the women reconnect in San Francisco and realize how widely their lives have diverged. While Rosalie is a housewife and mother, Frances works as a secretary for the Office of Naval Intelligence. There she is introduced to Ainslie Conway, an intelligence operator 10 years her junior. When it's arranged for Frances and Ainslie to marry and carry out a mission on the Galápagos Islands, the couple's identities - already hidden from each other - are further buried under their new cover stories. No longer a lonely spinster, Frances is about to begin the most fascinating and intrigue-filled years of her life.

Amid active volcanoes, forbidding wildlife and flora, and unfriendly neighbors, Ainslie and Frances carve out a life for themselves. But the secrets they harbor from their enemies and from each other may be their undoing.

Drawing on the rich history of the early 20th century and set against a large, colorful canvas, Enchanted Islands boldly examines the complexity of female friendship, the universal pursuit of a place to call home, and the reverberations of secrets we keep from others and from ourselves.

I wonder what Aunt Frances would think

I enjoyed the story. Had the real Frances and Ainslie Conway not been my great aunt and uncle, it would have been more enjoyable. While I never met them, they were also my Dad's godparents so I grew up hearing a lot about them. I hope that readers keep in mind that while Aunt Frances and Uncle Ainslie lived in the galapagos and wrote books about the experience, the rest of this novel is completely fiction. If you want to learn more about their lives read their novels, The Enchanted Islands and Return to the Island by Frances and Ainslie Conway.

Incredible characters and captivating storyline

I listened to this book almost nonstop since downloading it the other day. Amend's attention to detail in building characters allows the reader/listener to become attached to their plight. The performance by Dina Pearlman gives the main character the depth that she deserves. Fantastic listen!!!

Extremely well written

The story flowed beautifully, The characters very interesting and well developed. I will miss being in their lives! Especially loved the lasting friendship, nothing better than close girlfriends!

Title: The After Party

Narrator: Dorothy Dillingham Blue

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 10 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-17-16

Publisher: Penguin Audio

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 193 votes

Genres: Fiction, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

From the nationally best-selling author of The Yonahlossee Riding Camp for Girls comes a story of 1950s Texas socialites and the one irresistible, controversial woman at the bright, hot center of it all.

Joan Fortier is the epitome of Texas glamour and the center of the 1950s Houston social scene. Tall, blond, beautiful, and strong, she dominates the room and the gossip columns. Every man who sees her seems to want her; every woman just wants to be her. But this is a highly ordered world of garden clubs and debutante balls. The money may flow as freely as the oil, but the freedom and power belong to the men. What happens when a woman of indecorous appetites and desires like Joan wants more? What does it do to her best friend?

Devoted to Joan since childhood, Cece Buchanan is either her chaperone or her partner in crime, depending on whom you ask. But as Joan's radical behavior escalates, Cece's perspective shifts - forcing one provocative choice to appear the only one there is.

A thrilling glimpse into the sphere of the rich and beautiful at a memorable moment in history, The After Party unfurls a story of friendship as obsessive, euphoric, consuming, and complicated as any romance.

Members Reviews:

still waiting.....

I'm on chapter 20, still listening because the narrator is good and I'm still waiting to find out what the plot of the story is... well, maybe that's not fair - I'm just not invested in the characters, if J doesn't turn out to be a psychotic drug addict OR if C doesn't stop being a whiny girl & grow up ----- then? it feels like I'm reading a 16 year old's diary..... but worth a listen if you like diaries (& the narrator is good - the writing is good too, but I'm halfway through and still waiting for the meat of it.....)

So repetitive that it is infuriating

Would you try another book from Anton DiSclafani and/or Dorothy Dillingham Blue?

Probably not

Has The After Party turned you off from other books in this genre?

No

Would you be willing to try another one of Dorothy Dillingham Blues performances?

Sure

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The After Party?

I am on chapter 8, and I just can't listen anymore because I Cannot hear the word Joan one more time. The narrator is completely obsessed with character we don't even know. It's like, "Air, Joan loves breathing air. I have watched Joan breathe for days. Has Joan ever watched me breathe? Joan is constantly on my mind. Joan is everything. Joan knows that I am constantly watching her.

Any additional comments?

I am a native Houstonian, and I really wanted to like this book, but it's just about a narrators obsession with an aloof girl.

Cece needs to grow a pair

What would have made The After Party better?

A more developed main character and plot! Cece is cloying, clingy and pathetic...and not in a way that is remotely interesting. If you cared more about her as a character you'd want to shake some sense into her, but all I was left with was the desire to shout "Oh please shuuuut up!" Ultimately, the characters are flat and boring.

What didnt you like about Dorothy Dillingham Blues performance?

Her voice was pleasant enough and she did a passable job at distinguishing each of the characters from each other, but I found myself almost nodding off more than once. Riveting it was not.

Title: Xtabentum

Subtitle: A Novel of Yucatan

Author: Rosy Hugener

Narrator: Eva R. Marienchild

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 40 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-05-16

Publisher: Shared Pen LLC

Genres: Fiction, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

According to Mayan legend, the Xtabentum flower that grows wild on the Yucatan peninsula first appeared on the grave of a free-spirited young woman who was scorned for her passion by the people of her village, but loved by the gods for her kind heart.

Xtabentum: A Novel of Yucatan is a story of two young women set in the years following the Mexican Revolution in Merida, Yucatan, one of the wealthiest cities in the world at the time. Amanda Diaz is from the "divine caste," a small group of families of European descent who dominate the politics and economy of the region. Amanda's lifelong friend, Carmen, is from the opposite end of the social spectrum, a Mayan Indian who is the daughter of one of the Diaz family servants. Against the true historical background of rebellion and assassination in the unstable country, the whipping of Carmen by a Diaz neighbor exposes the sheltered existence of the two women and drives them apart.

The story follows Amanda through her horror at the social injustice of the two-class Mexico to the sacrifices she makes in the name of friendship. Parts of the story take place in modern times, where the discovery of an old birth certificate sets Amanda's granddaughter in search of a secret about her father's birth. Her search, told in the first person, is blended with a third-person account of the lives of Amanda and her contemporaries in the 1920s.

Members Reviews:

A must-read for anyone interested in Mexico and Mexican culture

Xtabentum: A Novel Of Yucatan is a story set in a period of history known to few Americans. It is refreshing to read a story from an author who has intimate knowledge of both Mexican and American culture, and Rosy Hugener has woven a fiction that neither vilifies nor lionizes either culture, but rather explores the reality of how both peoples have interacted over most of the twentieth century. With our continued and growing relationship with the peoples of Mexico, stories such as Xtabentum: A Novel Of Yucatan can only help increase our understanding and respect for our neighbors to the south. In addition to being rewarded with a fine and intriguing love story, the reader will enjoy a lesson in the history of this fascinating land and people, and hopefully come away with a new respect and appreciation for this fine and rich culture. Xtabentum is a must-read for anyone interested in Mexico and Mexican culture.

Xtabentum: a drink, a legend, a novel

An intersesting book: a moving plot, and a well documented book using Maya legends and the history of Yucatán in a quite sympathetic way. After coming back from a journey in Yucatán with Maya friends, I enjoyed reading it!

It was an easy read.

I found this books to be simply written, perhaps because of the translation of it to English something went missing. It was an easy read.

A Yucatan experience

Good read - enjoyed the book a lot. Having visited Yucatan on several occasions this book brought back some very good memories.

A visit to the Mayan Gods

I think this a beautiful novel that involves all the magic from Mayan gods. The imagination of the writer is prodigious. The story is mystical and has all the influence from Latin American fantastic literature. Hope to read more from the author.

Title: The Risen

Subtitle: A Novel of Spartacus

Author: David Anthony Durham

Narrator: Steven Crossley

Format: Unabridged

Length: 22 hrs and 6 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-03-16

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 24 votes

Genres: Fiction, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

In this thrilling and panoramic historical novel, we see one of the most storied uprisings of classical times from multiple points of view: Spartacus, the visionary captive and gladiator whose toughness and charisma turn a prison break into a multicultural revolt that threatens an empire; his consort, the oracular Astera, whose connection to the spirit world and its omens guides the uprising's progress; Nonus, a Roman soldier working both sides of the conflict in a half-adroit, half-desperate attempt to save his life; Laelia and Hustus, two shepherd children drawn into the ranks of the slave rebellion; Kaleb, the slave secretary to Crassus, the Roman senator and commander saddled with the unenviable task of quashing an insurrection of mere slaves; and other players in a vast spectacle of bloodshed, heroism, and treachery.

In The Risen - the term the slaves in revolt have adopted for themselves - an entire teeming world comes into view with great clarity and titanic drama, with nothing less than the future of the ancient world at stake. No one brings more verve, intelligence, and freshness to the novel of the classical age than David Anthony Durham.

Critic Reviews:

"[W]ell-done.... [A] competent piece of historical fiction." (Kirkus)

Interesting Story

I think it was a great story, however the way it was written I always felt like I was missing chunks of it. It had a tendency to switch characters at intense parts and then tell it through the new character what happened to the other character that you just switched from. Also it sometimes left out other pieces of information altogether about some of the characters and bring them to a definite close.

Worthless "Critique"

Would you try another book from Leopard Books and/or Mark Woods?

The narrator's rendition is awful - automated text is better. There was no critique of the book, no discussion of the salient points, no review of underlying interest --- no "nothing!"

Save your money or your points. It simply is not worth it in my opinion.

great summary

straight to the point. easy to follow. would recommend even after reading the book to get more insight.

Very misleading to write summary in dark letters

This is purely a summary of the book and it is very misleading to put it up for sale! Who wants only a summary,

Deceptive title - this is a summary, not the book.

What disappointed you about A Man Called Ove: A Novel by Fredrik Backman?

There is no info on the photo or the title to indicate this is not the full book. It says unabridged on the cover art - of course it is unabridged because it is not a book. All of the info was misleading.

Title: Bottomland

Author: Michelle Hoover

Narrator: Paul Michael Garcia, full cast, Robertson Dean, Amy Landon, Tavia Gilbert, Emily Woo Zeller

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 54 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-01-16

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 16 votes

Genres: Fiction, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

At once intimate and sweeping, Bottomland - the anticipated second novel from Michelle Hoover - follows the Hess family in the years after World War I as they attempt to rid themselves of the anti-German sentiment that left a stain on their name. But when the youngest two daughters vanish in the middle of the night, the family must piece together what happened while struggling to maintain their life on the unforgiving Iowa plains.

In the weeks after Esther and Myrle's disappearance, their siblings desperately search for the sisters, combing the stark farmlands, their neighbors' houses, and the unfamiliar world of far-off Chicago. Have the girls run away to another farm? Have they gone to the city to seek a new life? Or were they abducted? Ostracized, misunderstood, and increasingly isolated in their tightly knit small town in the wake of the war, the Hesses fear the worst.

Told in the voices of the family patriarch and his children, this is a haunting literary mystery that spans decades before its resolution. Hoover deftly examines the intrepid ways people can forge lives of their own despite the dangerous obstacles of prejudice and oppression.

Members Reviews:

Bottomland has a great beginning, but...

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

No, I would not recommend this book because it is too incomplete.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I would have finished the incomplete parts.

Which scene was your favorite?

The first day the girls arrived in Chicago.

Did Bottomland inspire you to do anything?

No.

Any additional comments?

I hope the author, Michelle Hoover, continues to write, but with more forethought. Bottomland started out great in the beginning, but from the middle to the end, the story began to slack, as though she was hurrying to make a deadline. The storyline itself was a great one, but there were too many cliff-hangers and quick endings of the characters. Some of the cliff-hangers would be great, if we were promised a follow-up book! With more experience, she could be a great author.The narrators were great!

Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie | Summary & Analysis

Preview:

Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie chronicles the lives and relationships of two young Nigerians named Ifemelu and Obinze, and explores the culture of the United States from an African perspective. The novel considers issues of race and the complexities of love, family, friendship, and romantic relationships in the United States.

Ifemelu was raised by her parents in Lagos, a city in Nigeria. Her mother is a religious fanatic and her religiously indifferent father has strong opinions about the United States. Ifemelu has a close relationship with her Aunty Uju, her father's sister, who acted as a big sister, or even motherly figure, to Ifemelu throughout her younger years. Aunty Uju was the mistress of The General, a military official who impregnated her, but died after their son Dike turned one year old. After The General's death, Aunty Uju moved to the United States to raise Dike and start a new life....

Please note: This is a summary and analysis of the book - not the original book.

Inside this Instaread summary and analysis of Americanah:

Members Reviews:

~~ Read this summary BEFORE the 610 page book! ~~

The original fiction novel by Chimamanda tells the story of Ifemelu and Obinze, two young Nigerians who originally meet and date in secondary school. Raised in Nigeria, Ifemelu eventually moves to the USA and has several relationships. Many years later she decides to return home to Nigeria. In the meantime, Obinze wants to live in Europe but ends up getting deported from England back to Nigeria.

With both Ifemelu and Obinze back in Nigeria, they eventually resume their friendship and relationship despite Obinze being married. "Americanah is a Nigerian word for the different personality and behavioral changes an African brings back after being in the US for any length of time."

Most readers are going to want to check out this Instaread summary (think DETAILED review) first. With the original novel being 610 pages (yep, no typo there), this Instaread summary has many of the details and spoilers in 21 pages. Great for book club readers etc., aiding discussion and understanding of the book. There is a wonderful character analysis. The original is not just about Ifemelu and Obinze but includes other characters and family members. If you don't have time or desire to read the original but need to know what it is about then this is for you!

Please note my review is based on the quality and contents of this Instaread summary and NOT the original. Book provided in exchange for an honest review. Thanks, Liz

What is it like as an outsider in America?

"Americanah" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a novel about two young Nigerians named Ifemelu and Obinze, and their experience in the United States. This exploration of American culture through African eyes considers the complex issues of race, love, family, and friendship. This review by Instaread encapsulates the novel through its summary and analysis in a brilliantly formatted way. Each section adds additional meaning to the novel by exploring its themes and motifs, outlining the characters, and finding insights into our shared human emotions.

I really enjoyed this summary, it helped me write a great book report. If you're a student like me, and looking for a quick fix to your procrastination, I suggest Instaread reviews.

Title: The Wake

Author: Paul Kingsnorth

Narrator: Simon Vance

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 49 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-09-16

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 47 votes

Genres: Fiction, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

In the aftermath of the Norman Invasion of 1066, William the Conqueror was uncompromising and brutal. English society was broken apart, its systems turned on their head. What is little known is that a fractured network of guerrilla fighters took up arms against the French occupiers.

In The Wake, a postapocalyptic novel set 1,000 years in the past, Paul Kingsnorth brings this dire scenario back to us through the eyes of the unforgettable Buccmaster, a proud landowner bearing witness to the end of his world. Accompanied by a band of like-minded men, Buccmaster is determined to seek revenge on the invaders. But as the men travel across the scorched English landscape, Buccmaster becomes increasingly unhinged by the immensity of his loss, and their path forward becomes increasingly unclear.

Written in what the author describes as "a shadow tongue" - a version of Old English updated so as to be understandable to a modern audience - The Wake renders the inner life of an Anglo-Saxon man with an accuracy and immediacy rare in historical fiction.

Critic Reviews:

"[R]ich in ghosts and the old gods, is daring." (

Kirkus)

Members Reviews:

Very interesting story, Excellent performance!

Any additional comments?

Well written, intriguing story with an interesting mix 11th century Anglo-Saxon and Middle English with enough modern phrasing and words to render it understandable to a 21st century listener/reader.

Speaking of listener/reader, Simon Vance's narration of this book was absolutely remarkable. He took a very difficult text, and transported me back nearly a thousand years. Very good indeed.

Pleaseget me out of his head!

Simon Vance does a superb job (as usual) narrating this microscopic examination of British history. The timeframe, 1066-1068, captures all the pain and suffering of a people vanquished by an invading army.

However, we see most of this turmoil through the eyes, and in the mind of, Buccmaster, a farmer who has gone insane after experiencing the tragic loss of his land, wife and sons. For awhile this is an acceptable strategy to convey the story to listeners, but it eventually unravels when we figure out that there will be no redemption for Buccmaster or his scorched landscape. He merely mutters inconsistent babbling towards the end, thinking himself some kind of resurrected ancient god.

The "Wake" is meant to represent the aftermath of the Norman Invasion, but it is also a metaphor for the death of rationality in Buccmaster's mind. At some points this was grating. I considered returning the book, then thought better of it, reminding myself that history (fictional or otherwise) is good for the soul.

I give this novel one scythe up and one down.

Natural Narration

The Wake takes place in and around 1066. The grammar can throw you off initially, but is still great, makes it better to hear Buckmaster of Holland. Simon Vance's work as narrator is what makes Buckmaster. Paul Kingsnorth work naturally comes to Simon Vance. If medieval history from a different perspective is what you're looking for, The Wake is amazing, if you'd like to hear it, this is the version to play.

Great Ideas Wasted by a Bad Ending

I was excited by this book. I had read some of Kingsnorth's latest book, CONFESSIONS OF A RECOVERING ENVIRONMENTALIST, and some smaller pieces. I thought I would give this book a try. At first, I was really excited by the book.
