Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Franny Banks ist zwar ein bisschen chaotisch, aber vor allem witzig, charmant und klug - eigentlich müsste sie alle ihre Ziele erreichen können: Schauspielerin werden, den Durchbruch schaffen, einen Mann fürs Leben finden. Für den Notfall hat sie trotzdem einen Plan B: ihren langjährigen Freund Clark heiraten, Englisch-Lehrerin werden, in einen Vorort ziehen. Doch so langsam läuft ihr "Ultimatum zur Traumverwirklichung" ab. Als sich dann auch noch herausstellt, dass sogar Plan B geplatzt ist, muss Franny umdisponieren. Ihr neues Motto: Lieber jetzt als irgendwann.

This author is rapidly becoming a favorite of mine

This author is rapidly becoming a favorite of mine. I am especially happy with the way her characters are developed. Few of them are totally undeveloped. I feel some sadness when I finish one of her books, because I feel as I am losing friends. However, her book endings are always satisfactory, although not especially predictable.

Résumé de l'éditeur:

Une femme sur un banc de la gare de l'Est en pleine nuit revoit les dernières 24 heures qui l'ont amenée là.

Nelly est comédienne de théâtre, elle joue la Mère dans Six personnages en quête d'auteur de Pirandello. Ce soir-là quand débute la représentation, elle reconnaît au centre du cinquième rang l'homme qu'elle a passionnément aimé et quitté pourtant, et dont elle a voulu oublier jusqu'au nom. En proie à une crise de panique, l'actrice s'affaisse et ne peut plus jouer.

Amour et théâtre : l'engagement de soi, la passion, la peur, les sentiments paroxystiques viennent balayer le cours d'une journée superstitieusement réglée. Débutant par une longue dérive, le roman s'emballe dans un crescendo où les coups de théâtre, au propre et au figuré, s'entremêlent.

I love to read debut novels

I love to read debut novels, but sorry folks. In this case, you get what you pay for. Had to make myself finish to see if there was any redeeming value. Nope. The Rosalin duo should keep their day jobs.

I liked this book

I liked this book. It's not very professionally written, and unrealistic but, that made it fun. I wish I could fine more like this one, that's why I'm here browsing now actually. I recommend this if you want a quick, fun read. This book's not very realistic or down to earth but again, it was fun!

Title: Next Big Thing

Author: Terry Kitchen

Narrator: Terry Kitchen

Publisher: Urban Campfire Productions

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

'80s Boston rock novel by scene veteran Terry Kitchen! After years in the sub-basement of Boston's teeming underground music scene, Lennon-spectacled wordsmith Mark Zodiac is used to enduring abuse, neglect, and indifference for his music. And that's just from his own band. But when he's thrust into the spotlight on the night of Shadowland's record release concert, the crowd tunes in as never before - much to the chagrin of Mark's best friend/Shadowland's star-in-waiting Will. With the record moving up the charts, their ego-librium gives way as Mark strives to keep control of his music without selling his soul in the process. Complicating Mark's world is the shadow of the loss that both drives and haunts him, even as he attempts to find love amidst the graffitied alleyways of Kenmore Square. On the eve of stardom, Mark must decide if being the Next Big Thing is really the most important thing.

At once disarmingly absurd and heartbreakingly real, Next Big Thing combines the gritty backstage vibe of Roddy Doyle's The Commitments with the emotional thawing heart of Jay McInerey's Bright Lights Big City, and every line crackles with the kinetic current of true rock'n'roll.

Critic Reviews:

"A great debut novel." (San Francisco Book Review)

"Kitchen gets all the details right - I felt myself back in the Rat, the Channel and the other clubs of that era - but most of all, he gets the underlying sense of adventure. Next Big Thing reminds me just how much it all meant and how exciting it was." (Brett Milano, author of The Sound of Our Town: A History of Boston Rock & Roll)

Members Reviews:

Highly entertaining read and relatable to struggling musicians of any genre.

Highly entertaining read and relatable to struggling musicians of any genre. It paints a picture of band life that most rock, pop artists have experienced. It is funny without being a parody and includes the pathos of attempting to make it while continuing hitting walls.

Next Big Thing Hits All The Right Notes!

This novel hits all the right notes- It details the passion and pressures of a rock band trying to get its big break. The descriptions of the Boston music scene and of the creative process of musicians are spot on, and the emotional turmoil of band politics and relationships is note-perfect.

This is a great read, highly recommended!

Tough, gritty portrait of life in a not-yet-famous rock band

Boston rocker Terry Kitchen has written a heartfelt and unflinching portrait of Mark Zodiac, a working-class guy trying to claw his way up the long ladder of the pop music business. Set in the 1980s in Boston, Markâs band Shadowland is just like thousands of other club-level combos found in every city and town â talented, determined, and hopeful. Theyâre good enough to get a local following but not yet ready to break out nationally. âNext Big Thingâ follows Mark as he navigates his complicated life: girlfriends, bandmates, competing musicians, radio guys, managers. They all have their own ideas about what it takes to get ahead. Mark has his ideas too, but heâs not an egomaniac; he makes an effort to be accommodating, especially to his best friend/band mate/musical rival Will. Like Lennon and McCartney minus the platinum records, the two partners argue and reconcile, and neither one is confident enough to get a divorce and go it alone.

Title: Miss Garnet's Angel

Author: Salley Vickers, Kati Nicholl (editor)

Narrator: Anna Massey

Format: Abridged

Length: 3 hrs and 59 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-25-14

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

The new edition of Salley Vicker's sensational debut novel.

Miss Garnet's Angel is a voyage of discovery; a novel about Venice but also the rich story of the explosive possibilities of change in all of us at any time.

Julia Garnet is a teacher. Just retired, she is left a legacy which she uses by leaving her orderly life and going to live - in winter - in an apartment in Venice. Its beauty, its secret corners and treasures, and its people overwhelm a lifetime of reserve and caution. Above all, she's touched by the all-prevalent spirit of the Angel, Raphael.

The ancient tale of Tobias, who travels to Media unaware he is accompanied by the Archangel Raphael, unfolds alongside Julia Garnet's contemporary journey.

The two stories interweave with parents and landladies, restorers and priests, American tourists and ancient travellers abounding. The result is an enormously satisfying journey of the spirit - and Julia Garnet is a character to treasure.

Critic Reviews:

"Subtle, unexpected and haunting." (Penelope Fitzgerald)

"Rich, complex and hauntingshe makes the ancient story as riveting as Miss Garnet's own adventures." (Sunday Times)

"Writes like a haunted angel." (The Times)

Members Reviews:

Delightful

A good tale well read. Miss Massey's cool precise voice suits this intriguing story well. Only four stars because of the foolish gong sounds interspersed too liberally - they are a dreadful distraction.

Miss Garnet's Angel

I read and loved this book years ago..it was lovely to revisit it and extra special to be able to listen to it at my leisure.

Title: Stitch

Subtitle: A Novel

Author: Richard Stern

Narrator: Alfred Gingold

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 14 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-23-14

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

In one of the world's most beautiful cities, an aging sculptor serves as an inspiration and a warning to two aspiring artists.

Pursuing literary glory, Edward Gunther gives up his job as a copywriter, sells everything he owns, and moves with his wife and three children from Chicago to Venice. But success does not come as quickly or as painlessly as Edward had hoped. During his first month in Italy, he struggles to get his essays published, argues with his wife about the family finances, and embarks on an unsteady affair with Nina Callahan, an American poet who insists on keeping him at arm's length.

It seems that Edward's dreams will never come true, but when he discovers that Nina has befriended Thaddeus Stitch, the famous sculptor, a ray of hope appears. If anyone has the spark of genius, it is Stitch, who counted Yeats and Rilke as his friends and is inarguably one of the 20th century's greatest artists. Perhaps some of the old man's creative energy will rub off on Edward, to whom a note of encouragement from such a luminary would mean everything.

But Stitch is bitter and distant, preoccupied with his own doubts. Ancient now, he feels his talent slipping from his grasp and recognizes that the world is ready to move on without him. He knows that his masterpiece, a collection of figures and abstractions on an island in the Venetian Lagoon, will eventually disappear beneath the rising waters of the Adriatic. Over the course of a foggy winter, these three lonely souls try to come to terms with the direction of their lives and the meaning of their work.

Written shortly after Richard Stern met Ezra Pound and widely recognized as a remarkable portrait of that inimitable literary lion, Stitch is an incisive and sympathetic novel about the joys and disappointments of a life devoted to art.

Title: Eclipse

Author: Richard North Patterson

Narrator: William Hope

Format: Unabridged

Length: 15 hrs and 6 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-18-14

Publisher: Pan Macmillan Publishers Ltd.

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

A spellbinding novel from the thinking man's thriller writer.

In a novel of international intrigue, an American lawyer, Damon Pierce, attempts to save Bobby Okari, the West African leader of a protest movement, from execution by the country's corrupt and autocratic leader. Pierce is in a race against time, and as the complex trial - involving terrorism and the geopolitics of oil, missing witnesses and evidence, and the whims of a lawless country - unfolds, bodies fall and fates dangle.

Complicating matters further is Okari's wife, Marissa Brand, with whom Pierce had a relationship years before that he's never quite forgotten; she, in fact, persuaded him to take the case in the first place, and it is who she plays a crucial role in the eventual outcome of this taut and atmospheric novel.
