Summary:

The most electrifying debut novel of 2024- Almost Famous meets Slaughterhouse-Five.

Big Time is set in a not-too-distant future Australia, where the eastern states have become the world's newest autocracy - a place where pop music is propaganda, science is the enemy, nationalism trumps all, and moral indecency is punishable by indefinite detention.

The novel opens as Julian Ferryman, bass player for the Acceptables, returns to Melbourne after a year overseas. He reconnects with his band as they prepare to record and tour their highly anticipated second album, and is given his first taste of a new designer drug, F, a powerful synthetic hallucinogen that gives users a glimpse of their own future. Rumour says, the more you take, the further you see - maybe even to the end of time.

Big Time is an anti-fascist ode to the power of pop music and a satire about art in the face of entropy, all wrapped up in an unforgettable road trip.

Summary:

The beach read with big ideas

'I absolutely loved it. Anyone interested in the relationship between tech, our bodies and our minds should bump it to the top of their queue immediately' - Zadie Smith, author of The Fraud

'Audacious, hot, deeply uncomfortable and genuinely thrilling' - Saba Sams, author of Send Nudes

Adrift in her early thirties, Mary sets out to change her life, one ill-advised decision at a time.

First, she books a spontaneous flight to Ibiza where she meets Tom, a brilliant young chemist working on an experimental drug called Eudaxa that claims to cure the anxieties of modern life. As their connection deepens, Mary thinks she might finally be falling in love.

Then Mary lands a job at Openr, an innovative dating app with no limits. Its founder, Mary’s ex girlfriend Lara, will do everything it takes to make it a global phenomenon.

When Mary introduces Lara and Tom, love and pharma collide with devastating consequences. As whispers about Eudaxa’s side effects begin to grow, Mary is forced to ask whether love is even possible in a society that is falling apart.

Electrifying, urgent, and darkly funny, Mariel Franklin's Bonding is a uniquely modern story of sex and freedom in the messy tangle of our digital age.

'Part love story, part love-mare, Bonding asks big, bold questions about the future of human relations and relationships' - Sarah May, author of Becky

Title: Emperor's Tomb

Author: Joseph Roth, Michael Hofmann

Narrator: David Rintoul

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5:35:39

Language: English

Release date: 06-27-24

Publisher: Ukemi Audiobooks from W. F. Howes Ltd

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Classics

Summary:

Untethered by the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and, with it, the dwindling of his family's name, Franz Ferdinand Trotta has few ambitions beyond frequenting the cafes and bars of Vienna. But in a rapidly changing and violent age, disinterest is not an option: as the first intimations of Nazi barbarities merge, Franz Ferdinand is drawn, inexorably, into the coming storm.

Vivid and prophetic, Roth's acclaimed novel is a stirring reflection on the passing of time, youth and disillusionment, and an elegy to a lost Europe.

The Emperor's Tomb is the sequel to The Radetzky March, one of the great masterpieces of 20th century German literature with some characters, and the narrative thread occasionally overlapping. It was written in the last period of Roth's life, and though different in character not least because it is told in first person the shadow of the darkening colours of the end of an era is maintained.

It is especially evocative in the exemplary and atmospheric translation by Michael Hofmann and the tone of David Rintoul's reading.

Unforgettable, really great literature' William Boyd.

The carefully wrought work of a poet in full sympathy with his subject and his subject matter, in all its rootlessness, melancholy and ironic brevity.' Economist

Summary:

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

From bestselling true-crime author Peter Edwards and Governor General's Award-winning playwright Kevin Loring, two sons of Lytton, the BC town that burned to the ground in 2021, comes a meditation on hometown―when hometown is gone.

“It’s dire,” Greta Thunberg retweeted Mayor Jan Polderman. “The whole town is on fire. It took a whole 15 minutes from the first sign of smoke to, all of a sudden, there being fire everywhere.”

Before it made global headlines as the small town that burned down during a record-breaking heat wave in June 2021, while briefly the hottest place on Earth, Lytton, British Columbia, had a curious past. Named for the author of the infamous line, “It was a dark and stormy night,” Lytton was also where Peter Edwards, organized-crime journalist and author spent his childhood. Although only about 500 people lived in Lytton, Peter liked to joke that he was only the second-best writer to come from his tiny hometown. His grade-school classmate’s nephew Kevin Loring, Nlaka’pamux from Lytton First Nation, had grown up to be a Governor General’s Award–winning playwright.

        The Nlaka’pamux called Lytton “The Centre of the World,” a view Buddhists would share in the late twentieth century, as they set up a temple just outside town. A gold rush in 1858 saw conflict with a wave of Californians come to a head with the Canyon War at the junction of the mighty Fraser and Thompson rivers. The Nlaka’pamux lost over thirty lives in that conflict, as did the American gold seekers. In modern times, many outsiders would seek shelter there, often people who just didn’t fit anywhere else and were hoping for a little anonymity in the mountains.

        Told from the shared perspective of an Indigenous playwright and the journalist son of a settler doctor who pushed back against the divisions that existed between populations, Lytton portrays all the warmth, humour and sincerity of small-town life. A colourful little town that burned to the ground could be every town’s warning if we don’t take seriously what this unique place has to teach us.

Janice, la cinquantaine, est femme de ménage. La ' meilleure de Cambridge ', selon ses clients qui apprécient sa gentillesse, sa discrétion et les menus services qu'elle rend.

Guère aidée par un mari qui la rabaisse sans cesse, Janice se sent insignifiante. Seule qualité qu'elle se reconnaît, une grande capacité d'écoute qui lui permet de collectionner secrets et histoires que les gens lui confient.

Un jour, l'une de ses clientes lui demande de s'occuper de sa belle-mère âgée de 92 ans. D'abord réticente, Janice accepte à condition que l'acariâtre Mme B. lui raconte son histoire... Et si, sans le savoir, ce duo improbable était en passe d'inventer une thérapie du bonheur ?
