Summary:

It is the turn of the century in an England that never was. Bright new aqua-plants are generating electricity for the streetlights; news can be easily had on the radio-viz; and in Gundisalvuss Land, the war is over and the soldiers are beginning to trickle home. Amongst these is Lt. Benjamin Braddock, survivor of the massacre that ended the war, and begrudgingly ready to return to a world that, well, doesnt seem to need him any more than it did in peacetime. His friends have homes and families to return to, while hes got nothing but his discharge papers and a couple of unwanted medals. Oh, and one new thing: the furious ghost of his commanding officer.

Fortunately, since the officers family is so vehemently adamant that Braddock join their rich and carefree fold, he doesnt have much time to fret about being haunted. But the secrets of the war are about to catch up to them all.

Summary:

Abby Callier is more in love with Shakespearean heroes than any real man, and shes beginning to wonder if there is life for her outside the pages of a book. It doesnt help that her esteemed parents tend to view her as they would one of their science experiments gone wrong. On the eve of finishing her dissertation, she escapes her staid existence to live in the house she inherited from her Great Aunt Evie in the small town of Echo Springs, Colorado. Because, lets face it, when a woman starts comparing her life to horror films, it might be time for a break.

Sheriff Nate Barnes believes in law and order and carefully building the life you want. In his spare time, he has been remodeling his house in the hope that one day it will be filled with the family he makes. But Nate doesnt like drama or complications and tends to avoid them at all costs. And yet, when Miss Abigail Callier, his newest neighbor, beans him with a nine iron, he cant help but wonder if she might just be the complication hes been searching for all along. It doesnt hurt that hes discovered a journal hidden away by the previous tenant, and decides to use Old Man Turners advice to romance Abby into his life.

Abby never expected her next-door neighbor, the newly dubbed Sheriff Stud Muffin, to be just the distraction her world needed. The problem is she doesnt know whether she should make Echo Springs her home, or if this town is just a stopover point in her lifes trajectory. And she doesnt want to tell Nate that she might not be sticking aroundeven though she should, because its the right thing to do, the honest thingbecause then all the scintillatingly hot kisses with the Sheriff will come to an abrupt halt. Did she mention that hes a really great kisser?

Title: War, Memory, and the 1913 Gettysburg Reunion

Author: Thomas R. Flagel

Narrator: John Lescault

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4:58:35

Language: English

Release date: 04-14-20

Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks

Genres: History, Military

Summary:

Union and Confederate veterans meet at Gettysburg on the fiftieth anniversary of the battle.

This reunion drew over fifty-five thousand official attendees who descended upon a town of four thousand during the summer of 1913 with the promise of little more than a cot and two blankets, military fare, and the presence of countless adversaries from a horrific war. Most were revisiting a time and place in their personal history that involved acute physical and emotional trauma.

Contrary to popular belief, veterans were not motivated to attend by a desire for reconciliation, nor did the Great Reunion produce a general sense of a reunified country. The reconciliation premise, advanced by several major speeches at the anniversary, lived in rhetoric more than fact. Recent scholarship effectively dismantles this Reconciliation of 1913 mythos, finding instead that sectionalism and lingering hostilities largely prevailed among veterans and civilians.

Flagel examines how individual veterans viewed the reunion, what motivated them to attend, how they acted and reacted once they arrived, and whether they found what they were personally seeking. While politicians and the press characterized the veterans as relics of a national crusade, Flagel focuses on four men who come to the reunion for different and very individual reasons.

Title: Going Home: A Walk through Fifty Years of Occupation

Author: Raja Shehadeh

Narrator: Fajer Al-Kaisi

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6:06:57

Language: English

Release date: 04-14-20

Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks

Genres: History, Middle East

Summary:

In a dazzling mix of reportage, analysis, and memoir, the leading Palestinian writer of our time reflects on aging, failure, the occupation, and the changing face of Ramallah.

In Going Home, Raja Shehadeh, the Orwell Prizewinning author of Palestinian Walks, takes us on a series of journeys around his hometown of Ramallah. Set in a single daythe day that happens to be the fiftieth anniversary of Israels occupation of the West Bankthe book is a powerful and moving record and chronicle of the changing face of his city.

Here is a city whose green spacesgardens and hills crowned with olive treeshave been replaced by tower blocks and concrete lots; where the Israeli occupation has further entrenched itself in every aspect of movement, from the roads that can and cannot be used to the bureaucratic barriers that prevent people leaving the West Bank. Here also is a city that is culturally shifting, where Islam is taking a more prominent role in peoples everyday and political lives and in the geography of the city.

A penetrating evocation of memory, pain, and place that is lightened by everyday joys such as delightful accounts of shared meals and gardening, Going Home is perhaps Raja Shehadehs most moving and painfully visceral addition to his series of personal histories of the occupation, confirming Rachel Kushners judgment that Shehadeh is a buoy in a sea of bleakness.
