Title: Wife and War: The Memoir

Author: Amalie Flynn

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 1 min

Language: English

Release date: 11-20-14

Publisher: Amalie Flynn

Publisher's Summary:

Wife and War: The Memoir is Amalie Flynn's story of 9/11, of being just blocks away and witnessing the terror attack, of running in the dust and debris as the Twin Towers collapsed behind her, and of how, in the years that followed 9/11, she became intertwined with the war on terror that began on that day. She became a military wife. She and her husband survived his 15 month deployment to Afghanistan. And then they endured the aftermath of war when war followed her husband home, occupied their house and their marriage, and created battlefields they did not expect. But Wife and War: The Memoir is more than just Flynn's story. In a time when war spreads itself across the globe, Wife and War: The Memoir is our story.

Meshing of Poetry and Nonfiction at its Finest

Iâll confess, my initial interest in Wife and War was not due to hearing about how phenomenal a writer Amalia Flynn is, and trust me she is a phenomenal writer, nor was it from all the praise her book received. Nope, my initial interest was from the book being required reading for a college course that I was taking, though that quickly changed and I became quite engrossed in the poetry of her life. I generally do not read a lot of nonfiction that isnât science related, and I definitely donât read a lot of poetry in my spare time, but I can say with all honest that this book has made me reconsider my reading choices. Not only are Amalia Flynnâs poems well crafted but she weaves the threads of her experience watching the towers fall throughout the fabric of her experience as a soldierâs wife. Itâs well written and canât praise Amalia enough.

A profoundly beautiful book

I first discovered Amalie Flynn's poetry a few months before my husband returned from a yearlong tour of duty in Afghanistan. Reading her words I felt an instant jolt of recognition. Her poems made me feel less alone and helped me maintain my sanity in the welter of emotions that accompanied both the deployment and the homecoming.

I was very excited to hear that she had published a memoir, and couldn't wait to read it. I would recommend her work to anyone.

This book powerfully expresses a reality that is seldom discussed -- our nation's wars are not confined to the battlefield, but permeate life on the homefront in invisible ways. The constant fear and isolation that a deployment brings for the family left behind; the strange truth that "war is hard but coming home can be harder." And in its aftermath, learning to cope with "that electric current of war, the subtle disturbances that war brings"

Amalie Flynn has taken all of these experiences and transformed them into art. Read this book. You won't be disappointed.

A Poignant Look at the War That is Fought at Home

I have been a fan of Amalie Flynn's blogs and was delighted to read her much anticipated memoir. It was one of those books that I refused to put down, and was quickly read in a mere couple of sittings. Her writing style is utterly unique and her written voice, so honest. I have not been affected in the same way by the attacks on 911 or the resulting war, but the struggles outlined in her work are so relateable. I really felt that I was in her shoes.

It's so easy to be removed from the continuous ill effects that war has on American families, but this book revealed so many things I had never been forced to think about.

Title: Two Feet

Subtitle: Random Thoughts and Random Travels

Author: Mark Roper

Narrator: Miles Anderson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 43 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-12-14

Publisher: Mark Roper

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

Under the vast African sky, a young boy is forced to come to terms with a whole new reality. Abandoned by his father, his new playground is the open plains, and his new family, a deeply-rooted local community with some seemingly unorthodox ways - among them, Swazi warrior Mabuza, and stern, religious Afrikaner Meneer Gerber.

But Mark soon finds that this unconventional upbringing might be exactly what he needs to fill the emptiness created by his life-altering loss. While he imagines his father fighting for his life in a distant hospital, the boy learns to find solace and hope through the wisdom and traditions of his new community - including important lessons about life, overcoming obstacles, and how to walk with bare feet.

This inspirational memoir documents Mark Ropers unique adolescence spent in 1960s South Africa, and his struggle to move toward a brighter future after the abrupt disappearance of his father. With equal parts insight, emotion, and humor, Two Feet takes a candid look at the realities of family life, while evoking the adventure and curiosity of childhood.

Titel: Herkunft

Autor:: Botho Strauß

Erzähler: Burghart Klaußner

Format: Unabridged

Spieldauer: 2 hrs and 41 mins

Sprache: Deutsch

Veröffentlichungsdatum: 11-12-14

Herausgeber: HörbucHHamburg HHV GmbH

Kategorien: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Botho Strauß erzählt, wovon er noch nie erzählt hat: Von seiner Kindheit und Jugend, von den Orten und Landschaften, in denen er aufgewachsen ist, von seinen Erinnerungen an die prägenden, frühen Jahre, von seinem Vater. Botho Strauß erzählt die Geschichte seiner Herkunft.

Botho Strauß wurde im Dezember 1944 in Naumburg geboren. Der Vater verließ in den 1950er Jahren Hab und Gut, ging in den Westen, nach Bad Ems, fing mit sechzig Jahren wieder von vorn an: "Wir sind weggegangen, weil wir nicht wollten, dass du dort zum Kommunisten erzogen wirst."

Mit seinem neuen, überraschenden Buch findet Botho Strauß noch einmal zu einer ganz neuen Seite seines Schreibens, zu einem ganz anderen Rhythmus: Zum Ton des Erinnerns, der Vergewisserung über die eigenen Ursprünge. Die Jugend ist die Zeit, da die Zukunft einem noch bevorsteht; jetzt lässt Strauß eine lang zurückliegende Gegenwart wiedererstehen. Vor allem ist es der Vater, dessen Bild immer deutlicher hervortritt, liebevoll gezeichnet, doch ohne Selbsttäuschung. Botho Strauß' Herkunft ist das konzentrierte, reiche Werk eines großen Erzählers.

Title: Tales Told by an Idiot

Author: Keith Perreur-Lloyd

Narrator: Audioscape Players

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 51 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-07-14

Publisher: AudioscapeProductions

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

At the age of youthful unreasoning, Keith Perreur-Lloyd cut his ties, and set off with enough money to last for a couple of months - well, maybe three. Effectively, he had begun his career... fundless travel. His pattern over the following years - involving about 114 jobs - was to leave a country with whatever he had saved whilst working there, (or more likely with just the end of month's wages), to get to the next place of his choice, to look for work immediately and... to dig in again. By the way, most of the characters and events are real - more or less.

Leidenschaftlich, mitreißend, witzig - ein faszinierendes Porträt jüdischen Lebens in Deutschland:

David wäre gerne Israeli.

Deutscher zu sein ist keine einfache Sache, gesteht Adriana Altaras ihrem Mann zu, erst recht nicht in einer jüdischen Familie...
