Riepilogo Editore:

Cosa turba la serenità di Yayoi, diciannove anni, la vita apparentemente idilliaca della sua "famiglia felice della classe media che sembra uscita da un film di Spielberg", dove il giardino è ben curato, gli abiti perfettamente stirati, i fiori sempre freschi sul tavolo e i genitori comprensivi e sorridenti? Forse a minacciare l'equilibrio di Yayoi è una sensibilità paranormale che le fa percepire presenze invisibili, e che contrasta con l'incapacità a ricordare gli anni dell'infanzia, stranamente cancellati dalla sua memoria. O forse il pericolo è il suo trasporto per Tetsuo che tende a superare i limiti dell'affetto fraterno.

Publisher's Summary:

Trevor Gray is a loner. One day his solitude in Chattanooga is interrupted when he sees a man who looks exactly like him - his doppelganger. Trevor follows this man, Brad Compton, observing him and his beautiful wife from a distance, never revealing his identity.

A short time later, Brad goes missing and is assumed dead. When the police learn about Trevor, he becomes a prime suspect in Brad's disappearance - but so is a mysterious homeless man who later becomes Trevor's friend.

As the investigation progresses, strange forces seem to bring people together in ways that change their lives forever; those involved find out how little control they have over their own fates.

This is a tale of mystery and betrayal, of love and friendship, and of the enduring quest for understanding in a world that seems to have no meaning.

Résumé de l'éditeur:

Cela fait bientôt sept ans qu'Éric et sa petite Anna-Nina sillonnent les routes de France. Solitude choisie. Jusqu'à ce soir de juin, où le vent et la pluie les obligent à frapper à la porte de Valentine. Un orage peut-il à lui seul détourner d'un destin que l'on croyait tout tracé ?

Avec la vitalité, l'émotion et la générosité qui ont fait l'immense succès de Juste avant le bonheur et Pars avec lui, Agnès Ledig explore les chemins imprévisibles de l'existence et du cœur. Pour nous dire que le désir et la vie sont plus forts que la peur et les blessures du passé.

Vif, empathique, plein de finesse, ce nouveau roman d'Agnès Ledig traite des surprises que réserve le destin, quand pourtant tout semblait écrit : rencontres, désirs, amours, permettent d'oublier le passé et ses blessures. Une lecture à écouter vous murmurer au creux de l'oreille qui fait un bien fou.

Résumé de l'éditeur:

Retrouvée dans la remorque d'un camion en Allemagne à la frontière polonaise, Martha est incapable de se souvenir de son identité. Personne ne sait comment elle est arrivée là. Son amnésie est totale. Et quand on lui présente son mari et son fils, quand tout prouve qu'ils sont sa famille, elle rentre près du lac d'Annecy et découvre sa vie passée.Mais au fil du temps, quelque chose cloche. Elle ne se reconnaît pas dans cette vie qu'elle doit apprendre. Une part d'elle-même a disparu, Martha en est certaine lorsqu'un nom surgit dans sa mémoire. Alors elle va enquêter.

Que faisait-elle sur cette route lointaine, un matin glacé de janvier ? Y a-t-il un lien avec son travail de professeure dans une école pilote pour jeunes en difficulté ? Pourquoi n'avait-elle dans ses poches qu'un tube de rouge à lèvres ? Pourquoi, surtout, le sentiment que quelque chose - ou quelqu'un - lui manque atrocement est-il aussi ancré en elle ?

Kritik Bewertungen:

Herz meets Schnauze. Niemand schreibt komischer und berührender über den Pott, Berlin, Huren, Luden, Taubenzüchter, Seidenschlüppis, Puffs, Hipster, Hobbyflecken, Mord und eine Omma, die so richtig austeilen kann. Eine wundervolle Liebeserklärung ans Ruhrgebiet, und Schlag auf Schlag eine herrlich turbulente Begründung, warum wir immer wieder scheitern müssen, damit am Ende alles gut werden kann.

-- Mario Giordano

Rotzig und respektlos, sexy und sentimental, spannend und politisch unkorrekt.

Publisher's Summary:

Set in Rhodesia 1976, this coming-of-age story delivers twisted romantic adventure.

Overnight, 16-year-old Sandra Robertson finds herself alone in a hostile land where her education is terminated. Friends rally and send her to live with her grandmother. A true survivor with ambition, Sandy has little experience but manages to secure work. Hotel employment not only provides food and accommodation, but it also happens to provide education of a different sort. Sandy's head spins from chivalry to curtness and from bedlam to bedrooms in a series of dodgy encounters. Other messed-up women try to intervene but to no avail. Only one person can save her, but will he try?

Members Reviews:

Captivating story

Hotel Girls was not only a good read it was an education. Having grown up in southern California it was fascinating to learn just how different my world was compared to growing up in South Africa, while at the same time the journey of growing into a young woman appears not to be so different. The story reaffirmed what we all know; whatever nationality you are, wherever you are living; growing pains, longing to fit it, to be happy and fulfilled, to be loved, are all universal desires and part of the human experienceâand in Hotel Girls our heroine moves through her mistakes with humor and honesty. An entertaining read with twists and turns that reminded me Iâm happy Iâm no longer in my teens & twenties.

An Enjoyable Read!

It is rare that I enjoy books with sexual content and romance, but sometimes I must make an exception. This book was excellent. It was difficult for me to believe it was fictional, it felt so real. I have lived in South Africa, and the setting and characters are so true to life. The protagonist, Sandra Robertson, comes to live in Durban after the tragic death of her family in the Rhodesian bush war. She finds a job at the Leopard Lair Hotel, and the fun begins. A diverse cast of characters, starting with the Frog Prince, had me in stitches. A thoroughly enjoyable read!

A fascinating journey from childhood to adulthood, set in South Africa

A fascinating journey from a tragic childhood, tracing the heroine's struggle to find her own identity as a woman. After several unsuccessful relationships she eventually finds happiness in a fulfilling relationship. The majority of the book is set in and around Durban, and the author has a fine eye for detail, showing an intimate knowledge of South Africa, its landscapes and its people. Scenes which, in other hands, might have been tawdry, were handled with a surprising sensitivity, each one contributing to the heroine's growth and self-knowledge.

Fun book to read

Hotel Girls

I enjoyed reading this book as it reminded me of places I knew. The author is a personal friend and even though the book is fictional the story line was reminiscent of a past life.

Nice

Very predictable, but I enjoyed reading about what goes on in the hotel world and I really enjoyed exploring Africa.

Titolo: Morte di un uomo felice

Autore: Giorgio Fontana

Narratore: Stefano Billi

Formato: Unabridged

Durata: 5 hrs and 13 mins

Lingua: Italiano

Data di pubblicazione: 02-17-17

Editore: Audible Studios

Categoria: Fiction, Contemporary

Riepilogo Editore:

Milano, estate 1981: siamo nella fase più tarda, e più feroce, della stagione terroristica in Italia. Non ancora quarantenne, Giacomo Colnaghi a Milano è un magistrato sulla linea del fronte. Coordinando un piccolo gruppo di inquirenti, indaga da tempo sulle attività di una nuova banda armata, responsabile dell'assassinio di un politico democristiano. Il dubbio e l'inquietudine lo accompagnano da sempre. Egli è intensamente cattolico, ma di una religiosità intima e tragica. È di umili origini, ma convinto che la sua riuscita personale sia la prova di vivere in una società aperta. È sposato con figli, ma i rapporti con la famiglia sono distanti e sofferti. Ha due amici carissimi, con i quali incrocia schermaglie polemiche, ama le ore incerte, le periferie, il calcio, gli incontri nelle osterie.

Dall'inquietudine è avvolto anche il ricordo del padre Ernesto, che lo lasciò bambino morendo in un'azione partigiana. Quel padre che la famiglia cattolica conformista non poté mai perdonare per la sua ribellione all'ordine, la cui storia eroica Colnaghi ha sempre inseguito, per sapere, e per trattenere quell'unica persona che ha forse amato davvero, pur senza conoscerla.

L'inchiesta che svolge è complessa e articolata, tra uffici di procura e covi criminali, tra interrogatori e appostamenti, e andrà a buon fine. Ma la sua coscienza aggiunge alla caccia all'uomo una corsa per capire le ragioni profonde, l'origine delle ferite che stanno attraversando il Paese. Si risveglia così il bisogno di immergersi nella condizione degli altri, dall'assassino che gli sta davanti al vecchio ferroviere incontrato al bar, per riconciliare la giustizia che amministra con l'esercizio della compassione. Una corsa e un'immersione pervase da un sentimento dominante di morte. Un lento disvelarsi che segue parallelo il ricordo della vicenda del padre che, come Giacomo Colnaghi, fu dominato dal desiderio di trovare un senso, una verità. Anche a costo della vita.

Insieme al precedente romanzo di Giorgio Fontana, "Per legge superiore", anche "Morte di un uomo felice" riflette sulla giustizia, le sue possibilità e i suoi limiti.

Recensioni critiche:

Premio Campiello 2014, Premio Arturo Loria 2014.

"Giorgio Fontana ha scritto un romanzo - lucido, bellissimo - che ancora mancava. Un romanzo che stavo aspettando. Attraverso la storia del magistrato Colnaghi, il suo sguardo, la sua solitudine, riesce a penetrare la dimensione della vita quotidiana al tempo del terrorismo... Che questo libro delicato, tagliente e doloroso sia stato scritto da un narratore italiano nato nel 1981, lo stesso anno in cui il suo protagonista viene assassinato, è per me fonte di consolazione. E di speranza."

Title: McGowan's Call

Author: Rob Smith

Narrator: Rob Smith

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 8 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-16-17

Publisher: Drinian Press LLC

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Davis McGowan could not have anticipated how his career would isolate him in his private life. After ordination, he finds himself an alien in a world of human need. This fictional account of a young pastor's rise and fall is based on the secret reality faced by the ordinary people who have sensed a "call" to one of the helping professions. Never quite accepted as a local, he navigates the path of conscience through the pitfalls of personal loneliness.

McGowan's Call is a collection of short stories and a novella that chronicles Davis' path from the river town of Hatteras, Ohio to the suburbs of Dayton.

This work of fiction provides a rare insight to pastoral ministry outside the scandals that regularly make headlines. It is an honest exposé of the real crisis that afflicts those who live in the public eye.

Rob Smith is the author of two novels including Night Voices. Ann Joslin of Sandusky Bay Journal describes Night Voices as "an exciting novel of adventure."

In McGowan's Call, this talented writer explores the inner landscape of those who find themselves inserted in the personal crises of others.

Rob Smith's short stories have appeared nationally in Writer's Journal and other literary magazines. In 2006, he received the Robert Frost Poetry Award for his poem "Catbird". He currently resides on Ohio's north coast and sails the waters of Lake Erie on a sloop that he and his wife are restoring.

Members Reviews:

Highly recommended

Reverend Davis McGowan isn't some hell-fire and brimstone spewing, pulpit pounding, holier-than-thou, televangelist-wannabe schmuck, but a kind hearted, wise, gentle shepherd who lovingly tends to his flock, as a man of God should. He accepts all, judges none, and makes no claims to be perfect.

In my eyes, he is the Christian ideal that we should all aspire to be.

This book took me on an emotional roller coaster ride - I laughed, I cried,

and at the end ... I Wanted More!

Looking forward to starting the next book in the series soon.

WITH WARMTH AND WISDOM

"Brodie was severely bent over and walked like a miser scanning the ground for wayward pennies."

'McGowan's Call,' by Rob Smith, is a collection of compellingly and gently told, heartwarming and sometimes heart-wrenching stories of genuine human-interest appeal, replete with warmth and wisdom.

Recommendation: An enjoyable and thought-provoking read.

"Many people cling to the romantic notion that church doors should always be open to the needy or to some "fugitive soul" seeking sanctuary. The reality is that church buildings are subject to vandalism and staff members are seen as an easy mark by those with violent intentions."

Kindle edition

Living in the suburbs of Cleveland

I really liked this book and bought another book by Rob Smith. Living in the Cleveland area, it was a fun read because I knew of most of the places he talked about in the story. Great read! One I couldn't put down! Looking forward to reading the next one!

Worthy, entertaining read.

I must say, I did enjoy reading this group of stories and novella. At times I was reminded of Jan Karon's Mitford series, which I also enjoy to great lengths. The ability to have a greater glimpse into the religious profession interested me, and I would read the successor to this book.

My one "beef", if you can call it that, is the final story ended abruptly.

Publisher's Summary:

"I'll make my sisters squirm like well-salted earthworms. I won't sell. Even my jutti wont sell. And if I die now, then even my ghost won't sell!"

The late Binodini Thakur had been very clear that she would never agree to sell her hissa in her Bauji's big old house on Hailey Road. And her daughter, Bonu, is determined to honor her mothers wishes. But what to do about her four pushy aunts who are insisting she sell? One is bald and stingy, one is jobless and manless, one needs the money to 'save the nation' and one is stepmother to Bonus's childhood crush - brilliant young Bollywood director Samar Vir Singh, who promised BJ upon his deathbed that he would get the house sold, divvy the money equally and end all the bickering within the family. The first word baby Bonu ever spoke was 'Balls' and indeed, she is ballsy, bs-intolerant, brave and beautiful. But is she strong enough to weather emotional blackmail by the spadefull? Not to mention shady builders, wily politicians, spies, lies and the knee-buckling hotness of Samars intense eyes?

Sharply observed and pulse-quickeningly romantic, this is Anuja Chauhan writing at her sparkling best!

Laugh- a- minute Mills & Boons

Anuja's novels have a feel good theme, A bit of laughter, an underlying theme of romance and overall setting of sisterhood/family. One of my favorite modern English language Indian writers. I read this book over 1 long blissful weekend. Read this novel as trademark Anuja Classic.

A Bollywood potboiler.

Its makes for a fast but silly read!! Designed to a film but doesnt truly succeed!! Too much 'Alls well that ends well!! Read it at your own peril!!

Romance Amidst Family Drama

This is a cute story. The Characters are likable, the plot twist interesting, the romance is predictable. Good humor throughout the story. Ending left me slightly disappointed, but I guess "all's well that ends well."

Great sequel.

Was looking forward to this book after reading Those Pricey Thakur Girls and it does not disappoint. All loose ends are neatly tucked away, beloved characters dusted off and general mirth abounds. Very good read.

Superb book!!

Wow ... I have read it 3 times over and it has me in splits all the time. Great read!!
