Doch vor ein paar Monaten hat sie an der Mosel einen alten Gutshof inmitten von Weinbergen erworben und in dem schönen Gebäude die kleine Pension 'Gutshof Moselthal' eröffnet. Weder die Wünsche der Gäste noch die manchmal recht eigenwilligen und doch liebenswerten Dorfbewohner von Wümmerscheid-Sollensbach können Katie aus der Ruhe bringen. Zu ihrem Glück fehlt eigentlich nur noch ein eigener Garten, in dem sie Schnittblumen fürs Haus ziehen möchte. Die passende Fläche hat sie auch schnell gefunden, lediglich eine alte Hütte mit einem Haufen Schrott muss noch entfernt werden. Doch da hat sie die Rechnung ohne den benachbarten Winzer Oliver gemacht. Denn der legt Katie nicht nur so manche Steine in den Weg, sondern trifft sie auch mitten ins Herz ... Der erste Teil der neuen herzerwärmenden Feel-Good-Reihe. Ein kurzweiliges Hörerlebnis in den romantischen Weinbergen an der Mosel - für eine kleine Auszeit vom Alltag!

No meio da estrada, o que a acompanha é o sol, a raiva e a paisagem de babaçus e mucambos, enquanto ela pensa em sua história e na história das mulheres de sua família, no amor que perdeu e nas traições de seu pai, na infância nos anos 60 em Recife e na carta em inglês que precisa enviar. A escrita feroz de Marilene Felinto mistura o passado e o futuro; a ficção, a autobiografia e a história nesse livro que segue tão novo e radical quanto em 1982, na data de sua primeira publicação.

Title: [Spanish] - Autobiografía de Irene Author: Silvina Ocampo Narrator: Soledad García De Quirós Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 32 minutes Release date: July 27, 2023 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: Entre la Roma antigua, una ciudad china o la pampa bonaerense, en estos cuentos la autora profundiza sus preguntas sobre la identidad, la mentira, el rencor, la muerte, la melancolía y los sueños. Publicada por primera vez en 1948, Autobiografía de Irene cumple las promesas de la mejor literatura: una narración ceñida y diáfana, un estilo de económica precisión, el vuelo de la imaginación a sus anchas. En estos cinco cuentos, que transcurren en escenarios tan diversos como la Roma antigua, una ciudad de China o el campo de la provincia de Buenos Aires, Silvina Ocampo explora la identidad, la mentira, el rencor, la muerte, la melancolía, los sueños, las certidumbres e incertidumbres acerca de lo que ocurrió o no ocurrió: a menudo, las líneas temáticas se confunden en la calma y un inusitado esplendor comparece con toda su violencia. La fascinación que el más extenso de los relatos, 'El impostor', ha despertado en guionistas y directores de cine no es casual: esta historia poblada de claves equívocas nos precipita en una ensoñación diurna donde la realidad y sus artificios establecen una fantasmagoría inolvidable. Esta nueva edición incluye el argumento inédito que la autora escribió para una versión cinematográfica, nunca realizada, de esa límpida y ambigua nouvelle. «De las palabras que podrían definirla, la más precisa es, creo, genial.» Jorge Luis Borges

Sie ist jemand, der Veränderungen hasst. Doch irgendetwas muss geschehen. Denn ihre Kinder sind im Begriff auszuziehen, und sie muss sich verkleinern, ihr altes Leben ausmisten, herausfinden, was davon sie behalten, wer sie in Zukunft sein will. Wie ist es, wenn das Leben noch einmal neu anfängt? Doris Knechts neuer Roman ist die zutiefst menschliche und intime Selbstbefragung einer Frau, die an einem Wendepunkt steht. Sie versucht, die Wahrheit über sich selbst herauszufinden. Und zugleich weiß sie, dass ihr das niemals gelingen wird.

Title: The Imperfection of Us: A story of beginnings, endings and everything in between Author: Nick Alexander Narrator: Chris Harper, Imogen Church Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 22 minutes Release date: July 21, 2023 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: ‘What if I am meant to be with one person for life?’ I asked. Mum paused thoughtfully before she replied. ‘Then maybe, Dawn, Billy’s not the one. Maybe you need to find yourself someone boring. Not boring… but someone a bit more normal perhaps?’ I was dressed in purple Doc Martens boots, olive-green leggings and a tartan skirt – an outfit I’d chosen so it would appear to have been carelessly thrown together. Billy had on a shiny green US Air Force jumpsuit. He told me it was what he wore every day and grinned broadly as if that was something to be proud of. I fell for him there and then. He was unlike anyone I’d ever met, and that made him kind of hard to resist. Where my friends were all trying to follow the latest trends, Billy just seemed to invent his own. He had star-quality even then. You could tell he’d be something special one day. Perhaps it was just luck that I met Billy that night, though it always felt more important than that – like he was the one person on the planet I needed to find. But then suddenly Billy was gone and into the vacuum stepped Rob. Reliable, dependable Rob. He told me that he loved me – said he was one of the 'good ones.' And maybe Mum was right. Maybe I did need someone a bit boring. Now the years have gone by and here we are, Rob and I, eating pizza and watching Gogglebox. We both laugh at some joke on the telly and when I glance over I get a warm sort of feeling that seems to say, ‘This is all right, isn’t it?’ Is that love? Even now, I’m not sure. But if it isn’t, it’s still pretty nice. My thoughts drift to seventeen-year-old me kissing Billy in his bedroom, a Patti Smith song playing in the background. And I try to remember what we had back then, because it definitely wasn’t ‘nice’. Sexy, exciting… all-consuming, perhaps. What if I could have that again? An emotional, thought-provoking, and refreshingly honest exploration of relationships, The Imperfection of Us will have you turning pages blurred by tears of sadness and laughter, desperate to find out what the future holds for feisty Dawn and sweet, reliable Rob. Oh, and Billy, of course. Let’s not forget Billy. Because Dawn certainly never has. Read what everyone is saying about The Imperfection of Us: ‘This book emotionally wrecked me. I laughed. I cried.

Una maestra llega a la escuelita y varias vidas cambian. La de esa decena de chicos siempre con ganas de galletitas y gaseosa, que van del garabato a la letra, de los botones de colores a las cuentas matemáticas, de los piedrazos a la poesía. La de Dylan, que un día se asoma desafiante desde el techo. Y la de ella misma, que apenas recibida ha migrado desde un pueblo del interior y completa su salario como moza. De lejos, la ciudad parece un castillo. De cerca, es una fortaleza inexpugnable. En ese ida y vuelta, clase a clase la Seño va transformándose. Los chicos crecen, las adolescentes se convierten en madres y Dylan, que rescató a un cachorro de morir ahogado y dio de comer en el pico a un pichoncito, busca sosiego a su profundo dolor de niño que ha caído de su propio nido. Con humor, ternura y una prosa delicadísima, Marie Gouiric se pregunta quién aprende y quién enseña una vez que alguien se entrega de corazón a los demás.
