Riepilogo Editore:

Dopo aver appreso della morte del marito Aaron, marine caduto in missione, Natalie è passata attraverso il dolore e, con fatica, ha ritrovato la luce grazie all'amore per Liam. Aaron però non è morto, e dopo aver lottato per tornare da sua moglie e dalla figlia che non ha mai conosciuto, ora è lì, davanti agli occhi di Natalie, che si ritrova sospesa tra la gioia e l'angoscia.

Sì, perché durante la sua assenza, Natalie ha conosciuto un'altra faccia del marito, ha scoperto le bugie che lui le ha sempre raccontato, i tradimenti che le ha nascosto. E soprattutto insieme a Liam ha sperimentato il vero significato dell'amore.

Ma ora Liam è deciso a farsi da parte, a sacrificare i suoi sentimenti in nome di ciò che ritiene più giusto: restituire alla piccola Aarabelle la possibilità di crescere con il suo vero padre e permettere a Natalie di ricostruire la famiglia che era andata distrutta.

Con i cuori lacerati, incerti se rinunciare a una parte di sé o seguire ciò che sentono, che futuro sceglieranno Natalie e Liam?

Perfect ending for Natalie and Liam

True love always wins. In the past, women have settled for men but maybe he wasnât the right one. In current time, women are learning to not settle until you know he is the one. Maybe you have to fight to let him know he is your true love and you are meant to be together. This is what Natalie had to show Liam. Natalie is so in love with Liam and so hurt from her husband Aaron. Natalie was the strong one in this story. The shock in the beginning of the book and how 2 people can accept their new life was definitely told in this book. If only more separated and divorced couples would act like Natalie and Aaron did.

I must say she handled it way better than most women would

This book was read immediately after finishing the first one, and I don't think a cliffhanger has ever left me on the edge as much as Consolation's. Conviction picks up right where we left our characters, left to deal with the fallout. Liam, being loyal, takes a step back so Natalie can decide what's in her heart. Being in the position she is, I must say she handled it way better than most women would. Once she gets through to Liam that she knows what she wants, the book takes on a whole different feel. She has to deal with old fears and feelings, only to be reminded that sometimes life cuts you a break or two.

Emotionally charged and Thought Consuming Read!

After reading Consolation, and having been left breathless and slightly broken hearted, I wasn't sure how to mentally prepare for this book. I finally decided to let my need for finding out Liam's fate win me over and I blindly dived in, knowing that I needed to be prepared for one hell of a emotional roller coaster. All the while having hope that Liam would get the happy ending he deserved. I knew once I started reading this book lastnight that I would not be able to just stop and go to sleep, so I pulled a late nighter and finished it one sitting. It had me on the brink of tears the whole way through and had be holding my breath a few times too.

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Als Karl Schmidt, Opfer eines depressiven Nervenzusammenbruchs am Tag der Maueröffnung, nach Jahren der Versenkung von alten Kumpels zufällig in Hamburg als Bewohner einer drogentherapeutischen Einrichtung wiedergefunden wird, ist das der Anfang einer seltsamen Zusammenarbeit:

Die alten Freunde, mittlerweile zu Ruhm und Reichtum gelangt, wollen mit ihrem Plattenlabel auf einer Tour durch Deutschland den Rave der 90erJahre mit dem Hippiegeist der 60er versöhnen und brauchen dazu einen, der immer nüchtern bleiben muss. Das kommt Karl Schmidt gerade recht, denn der hat keine Lust mehr, sich in einer Parallelwelt aus Drogen-WG, Hilfshausmeisterjob und gruppendynamischen Wochenendausflügen zu verschanzen.

Good Listen, thank you, thank you very much

Entertaining listen. The story is silly at times and deadly serious at others. I believe the author had a lot of fun writing this and I had fun listening. Narration is good, especially for a female trying to do an Elvis character.

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Not Sure About This One

I got this ARC via audiobook boom and this is my voluntary review. This one started out strange and got stranger by the minute. Undead Elvis, world turning into a desert wasteland, Memphis and Graceland are one of the few havens for what is left of humanity. Learning to live off of the land and the few plants that will grow all combined to create an interestingly strange story. There was no real cliffhanger but enough of a teaser at the end to let you know there will be another book. The narration was good.The narration kept me listening until the end.

What A Hoot!

The title alone should be an indication that you're in for a fun ride. Silly, quirky and downright absurd, yet oh so can't-stop-listening-able! Yikes, now I'm even making up words. Who cares, it fits! Hope's crazy adventure was so entertaining, with moments of gravity and lots of hilarity. I absolutely loved this! Kathy Garner as narrator was terrific and I loved the deadpan delivery. Hope And Undead Elvis was a great listening experience and I would highly recommend it.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. This review is my honest opinion.

Really good story. Fun and different

I really enjoyed the pacing and flow of this story. Sort of a mini-epic journey. I liked the whole premise. The narration overall was solid and I appreciated the efforts in singing. But I was amused at some of the mispronounced words. I definitely recommend the book overall though.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Great!

I've honestly never listened to another book like this and I really enjoyed it! Unique story that was funny at times but also a really interesting and entertaining story. Highly recommend!

Publisher's Summary:

For decades, Della Brown has tried to forget her service as a US Army nurse in Vietnam. But when she receives a letter from a fellow combat nurse, once her closest friend, all the memories come flooding back: Della's nightmarish introduction to the Twelfth Evacuation Hospital, where every bed held a patient hideously wounded in ways never mentioned in nursing school. The day she learned how to tell young men they were about to die. The night her chopper pilot boyfriend failed to return from his mission. She must also confront the fissures in her family life, the mystery of her father's disappearance, the things mothers and daughters cannot - maybe should not - know about one another, and the lifelong repercussions of a single mistake. An unflinching depiction of war and its personal costs, Her Own Vietnam, is also a portrait of a woman in midlife - a mother, a nurse, and long ago, a soldier.

Members Reviews:

Great Characters, Great Story, Great Listen

What did you love best about Her Own Vietnam?

This book works on so many levels. The characters are believable and drawn with all the contradictions and flaws we humans have. The dynamics between characters--especially the way family members interact--really ring true. It's also a well-written book with some nice turns of phrase and some cool and unexpected metaphors. Plus, before Her Own Vietnam, I'd not really given much thought to the experience of nurses in Vietnam or the fact that they'd have less support back home for dealing with the trauma they'd faced. It's an important story and one that is told really well.

What did you like best about this story?

The story did a good job moving back and forth between the present day and the war, and all the plot points made sense without being predictable. The pacing was good, too. I never felt like it was just dragging on and on.

Which scene was your favorite?

The first two scenes that come to mind might be considered spoilers, so I'll go for the "not as ordered" care package delivered to Della in Vietnam because of the specific responses she and her friends had. I also like how that scene has ripples into the future.

Who was the most memorable character of Her Own Vietnam and why?

We spend most of our time with Della, and I really like seeing how her character transforms in the past and in the present day, so it's probably her. But Charlene is drawn so well that she either ties with Della or is a close second. By the end, it was difficult to remember these weren't living, breathing women.

Any additional comments?

Not only did Lynn Kanter do a wonderful job writing the novel, but Robin Miles also provided fantastic narration. Each of the characters was so distinct that, in the end, I had to remind myself that there had only been one narrator. I'm really looking forward to reading whatever Kanter writes next!

Our Vietnam too....

This book will help anyone hate war. But for those of us who protested the was in Vietnam from the comforts of our homeland it fills a special space of wondering why & who.

After just a year of close, loving marriage, Ruth has been widowed. Her beloved husband, Ben, has been killed in a tragic accident, and Ruth is left suddenly and totally bereft.

Unable to share her sorrow and grief with Ben's family, who are dealing with their pain in their own way, Ruth becomes increasingly isolated, burying herself in her cottage in the countryside as the seasons change around her. Only Ben's young brother, Jo, is able to reach out beyond his own grief to offer Ruth the compassion which might reclaim her from her own devastating unhappiness.

Members Reviews:

In the Springtime of the Year by Susan Hill

An absolutely brilliant novel. Touching, sad, hopeful. It shares with the reader the deep feelings of loss and grief but also love and eventual peace. Poetical prose! Highly recommended.

A helpful and healing book that I will never forget

As a widow, this book had special meaning to me. I read it 4 years after the passing of my husband, and I could relate to all the emotions that the protagonist experienced. This was a beautiful book, with a gentle flow. I simply read it cover to cover and could not put it down. I recommend it to anyone who has experienced profound loss and grief after a loved one's passing. It helped me personally to read the pros of another with feelings similar to mine.

cathartic

Appropriate reading for All Souls' Day, this book deals with the bereavement of a young widow. The numbness lasts for ages and the book gives a cold, numb feeling as it traces her thoughts and actions for the year following her husbandâs tragic accident but ends with a Spring time when she is pregnant by a stranger and new life is to emerge. The support of relatives is spurned by her but ultimately their words and their presence sinks in aid becomes a part of her. A cleansing, cathartic book.

Plot...suspense

The story of three people...an ex-con, a cop, and a librarian...whose lives cross in an attempt to retrieve $168,000 stolen from a small city bank eighteen years earlier.

Poor, poor Ruth

This is one of the saddest books I've ever read. It tells the story of Ruth a young woman who has recently been widowed. It details the way she deals with grief, the torment, and depression that follows such a loss.

Alone with her thoughts, and the material objects left from a short marriage, Ruth has to try and reclaim her life, this time without Ben.

It contains lots of prose describing many things, the woods, the countryside around, but I was left wanting slightly more.

If you don't need a tissue while you read this book, then you didn't cry when you first watched Bambi!

Riepilogo Editore:

È un giorno di sole quando Armin chiama suo fratello Wulf, per mostrargli un prodigio: la costruzione della "strada che non si ferma mai". Una meraviglia che li lascia senza fiato, il miracolo tecnico dei nemici romani, capaci di creare dal nulla una strada che attraversa foreste, fiumi, paludi e non devia nemmeno davanti alle montagne. Improvvisamente i due sentono dei rumori: è una pattuglia romana.

Armin e Wulf sono catturati dai soldati. Nel loro destino però non c'è la morte, né la schiavitù. Perché Armin e Wulf sono figli di re. Sigmer, il loro padre, è un guerriero terribile e fiero, principe germanico rispettato e amato dalla sua tribù. La sua sola debolezza era l'amicizia segreta con Druso, il grande nemico, il generale romano precocemente scomparso, che Sigmer, di nascosto, ha imparato a conoscere e ad ammirare. Ma di questa ammirazione nulla sanno i due giovani.

Devono abbandonare la terra natale e il padre, per essere condotti a Roma. Sono principi, per quanto barbari. Saranno educati secondo i costumi dell'Impero, fino a diventare comandanti degli ausiliari germanici delle legioni di Augusto. Sotto gli occhi dell'inflessibile centurione Tauro, mezzosangue germano convertito all'amore e alla fedeltà verso Roma, impareranno una nuova lingua, adotteranno nuove abitudini, un modo diverso di pensare.

E come possono Armin e Wolf, cresciuti nei boschi, non farsi incantare dai prodigi di Roma? Non solo la strada, ma anche gli acquedotti, i templi, i palazzi meravigliosi. I due ragazzi diverranno Arminius e Flavus, il biondo, cittadini romani, due giovani guerrieri, stimati da tutta Roma, capaci di conquistarsi la fiducia dello stesso princeps Augusto. Ma il richiamo del sangue è davvero spento in loro? La fedeltà agli avi può portare alla decisione di tradire la terra che li ha adottati a favore di quella che li ha generati?

Valerio Massimo Manfredi torna al romanzo e racconta, unendo alla perfezione esattezza storica e respiro epico, la storia straordinaria e mai narrata prima di due fratelli, due guerrieri, le cui scelte hanno portato a Teutoburgo, lo scontro decisivo tra Romani e Germani, la battaglia che ha cambiato il destino dell'Impero Romano e del mondo.

Prodotto e realizzato da Emons, per conto di Mondadori.

Critic Reviews:

"A vivid, amusing and immensely enjoyable read [...] a triumph." (Alexander McCall Smith)

Members Reviews:

Last year's Recipes for Love and Murder from South African author Sally Andrew set ...

Last year's Recipes for Love and Murder from South African author Sally Andrew set a very high standard, introducing a culture that was entirely foreign to me. South Africa mixes so many cultures, Dutch, German, British, Greek and of course the myriad of native African languages and cultures. Tannie Maria is an Afrikaner woman of a "certain age", widowed, who writes a combination advice and recipe column for her local newspaper. It was disclosed in the first book that Tannie Maria suffered years of violent abuse at the hands of her late husband, Fanie.

The Satanic Mechanic begins with the court victory of the area Bushmen tribe over two large corporations, one agribusiness, and one diamond mining. The Bushmen have regained control over their ancestral lands which the corporations have controlled and exploited for decades. The leader of the Bushmen, Slimkat Kabbo, had received death threats prior to the case but everyone hopes that they were just that, threats that will disappear with the end of the case. Slimkat is not afraid and attends a food festival where he is poisoned and dies, despite police protection. Tannie Maria is on the spot, along with her new boyfriend, Detective Lieutenant Henk Kannemeyer. Henk is involved as he is one of the policemen detailed to protect Slimkat.

A secondary plot concerns Tannie Maria's grappling with her inability to take her relationship with Henk to a more physical level. It's clear that her years with Fanie have left her with PTSD and there may be more to his death than meets the eye. After consultations with two "experts", one who prescribes diet pills and the other, anti-depressants. Tannie Maria also hears about an informal therapy group dealing with PTSD, led by the "Satanic Mechanic". He was a Satanist at one point in his life but has renounced those beliefs and is trying to do good instead. He is also an excellent mechanic. The group is a diverse one with a mixture of people and economic statuses. The Satanic Mechanic is helping Tannie but she is still having flashbacks and hallucinations.She also has a very big secret. When another murder occurs, the murder of one of the group members, it is clear that one member has a secret worth killing for.

On its face, The Satanic Mechanic might be a very dark and depressing story. Instead, Sally Andrew has filled it with good humor, quirky characters and above all, mouth-watering descriptions of the food that Tannie Maria makes. Food is something that Tannie Maria loves and excels at. Thankfully, Andrew provides recipes at the end of the book.
