Title: Christmas at Spruce Hill Farm Author: Kathryn Springer Narrator: Ann Marie Gideon Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 16 minutes Release date: October 22, 2024 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: USA TODAY bestselling author Kathryn Springer brings holiday cheer in this festive story about fresh starts and unexpected love blooming on a snow-covered Christmas tree farm. It's three weeks until Christmas, and Lucy Gable is not in the holiday spirit. She’s the assistant to bestselling romance author Brynn Dixon, who’s been suffering from major burnout. Hoping to reduce Brynn’s stress, Lucy’s organized an intimate book tour—one that includes a charming little Christmas tree farm. And they're still hoping that no one discovers that Lucy was the one who finished writing Brynn’s last book… But Lucy’s carefully planned book tour is going completely awry. The Christmas tree farm owner is a reluctant host, the fans are going wild for the changes Lucy’s made to the book and Brynn’s adult son—who no one else knows about—is an unexpected (if handsome) distraction. And, as if those challenges aren’t enough, a winter storm at the farm is ensuring that hiding the truth is all but impossible. Yet somewhere between snowy sleigh rides, a cozy bonfire, caroling and the promise of new love, Lucy is experiencing her first winter wonderland. And Brynn is discovering that it might not be too late to find her own happy ending. With a little courage and a sense of adventure, it might just be the start of whole new chapters for both of them—and an accidentally perfect white Christmas. “Christmas at Spruce Hill Farm is a delightful story overflowing with holiday spirit. Kathryn Springer writes with warmth and charm.” --RaeAnne Thayne, New York Times bestselling author

Title: Prima Facie: Based on the award-winning play starring Jodie Comer Author: Suzie Miller Narrator: Jodie Comer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 18 minutes Release date: March 14, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. This audiobook is narrated by Jodie Comer (Killing Eve, The Last Duel, The End We Start From), who won Best Actress in both the Tony and Olivier awards for her performance in the theatre production of Prima Facie. Her performance in the play was lauded as 'infusing breath-taking emotional drama into every word' (Guardian), with 'tremendous skill and improbable stamina' (New York Times). Here she returns to Tessa in this intimate and skilful performance. From the Olivier award-winning playwright of Prima Facie Suzie Miller comes her first novel, where power, patriarchy and morality diverge. ‘She played by the rules, but the rules are broken.' Tessa Ensler is a brilliant barrister who's forged her career in criminal defence through sheer determination. Since her days at Cambridge, she’s carefully disguised her working class roots in a male-dominated world where who you know is just as important as what you know. Driven by her belief in the right to a fair trial and a taste for victory, there’s nothing Tessa loves more than the thrill of getting her clients acquitted. It seems like Tessa has it made when she is approached for a new job and nominated for the most prestigious award in her field. But when a date with a charismatic colleague goes horribly wrong, Tessa finds that the rules she’s always played by might not protect her, forcing her to question everything she's ever believed in… “It has been an absolute joy to return to Tessa’s story whilst recording this audiobook. My hope is that it will reach the widest number of people, perhaps who weren’t able to see the play. I’ve personally enjoyed delving into her story again and am excited for audiences to experience this further exploration gifted to us by the wonderful Suzie Miller.” Jodie Comer 'Enthralling and sharp-witted . . . Highly recommended' Karin Slaughter 'Bold, fearless, heartbreakingly timeless. Written with skill, humour, despair and hope, Prima Facie is a deeply rewarding, absolute must read' Chris Whitaker ©2024 Suzie Miller (P)2024 Penguin Audio

Their paths cross when they are drawn into the orbit of Henry Thornton, a charming railroad magnate whose extraordinary collection of Chinese antiques includes the fabled Phoenix Crown, a legendary relic of Beijing’s fallen Summer Palace.

Title: In Memory of Us: A profound evocation of memory and post-Windrush life in Britain Author: Jacqueline Roy Narrator: Jessica Alade Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 20 minutes Release date: January 18, 2024 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: What does it mean to remember? Joined at birth, then pulled apart, Selina and Zora’s relationship is marked by a pattern of closeness and separation. Growing up in 50s’ and 60s’ London under the shadow of Enoch Powell, they are instinctively dependent on each other, and yet Zora yearns for her own identity. But in the eyes of the people around them, the twins are interchangeable.   They come as a pair. They are Selzora.   Now in her seventies and living with the early stages of dementia, Selina is tracing shards of memory. She is intent on untangling the traumatic events of the past that changed the twins’ lives. Perhaps Lydia, who has reintroduced herself to Selina with sharp, cool charisma, will help her find answers. But even as Selina struggles to make sense of her memories, it’s all too clear that Lydia is hiding something.   In Memory of Us is a profound evocation of memory, and the strategies employed for illusion and survival in the wake of racism. It offers an often-overlooked insight into life as a Black Briton after the Windrush generation. Praise for In Memory of Us: ‘This reflective study of memory and illusion as a survival technique is fascinating. Offering insight into life as a Black Briton after the Windrush generation, this thoughtful novel entertains and educates' Platinum 'Pacily written' The Observer    'A heartstring-tugging exploration of memory, grief and race in Britain. Roy's prose drips with poignancy and elegance; her characters come to life on the page and you have no choice but to surrender your heart to their journey' Elvin James Mensah, author of Small Joys ‘Jacqueline Roy’s poignant and deeply moving novel draws you into the unique world of living as an identical twin, and a mixed-race one in a deeply racist society at that…A deeply powerful read’ heat   'Around and within this tale of toxic friendship, sibling rivalry and betrayal, Roy unfolds a history of British race-relations . . . This is an important novel. Roy’s writing is both subtle and supple. In compelling but understated prose, she exposes inequalities of race, class and gender that corrupt our interpersonal relationships and our sense of self. In her novels, Roy demonstrates that the personal is always political. Here, she also reminds us of the necessity of facing the past to understand the present' Judith Bryan
