Publisher's Summary:

While gridlocked in the churchyard of a small Irish town, the traffic frozen in place for the funeral of a young mother and her infant, an unbidden thought comes to Frances Moon. "I lost a baby when I was 19." She is surprised by how easily the long-suppressed memory slips into her consciousness, and by her own voice as she speaks the thought aloud to Ian, her partner of 20 years. The next morning, Ian is gone.

Numbed by abandonment, Frances sets out for the small town in Canada where she grew up - and where she began to make many poor choices. The novel flashes back to Frances as a curious, imaginative, and well-loved little girl who begins to lose herself once forced from her family's idyllic farm and into school. As she withdraws, only two people offer comfort: Dooley Sullivan, a prankster, and Silas Chance, an Indian who works at the lumberyard, and the Moon family's new tenant. Silas dies violently, the victim of a hit-and-run. And at the site there is evidence the driver stopped but did not help. In such a small town with the usual racial prejudices, the case is never solved. But years later, on the evening of her marriage, Frances remembers who the driver was.

Members Reviews:

Tried my patience on every level.

The story was slow and ponderous. The narration was stilted and plodding. Disappointing all around.

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Eine Hymne auf die große Liebe. Zum ersten Mal nach 25 Jahren Ehe schlafen Max und Tina abends nicht nebeneinander ein: Tina ist beruflich in Paris und Max bleibt in seiner Heimatstadt, wo er eine Bar betreibt. Abends steht Max hinter dem Tresen und hört sich die Geschichten seiner Gäste an. Tagsüber bringt er mit seinem Handkarren das Altglas weg, beschwört den verschwundenen Mühlbach, repariert das Mobiliar - oder begibt sich auf die Suche nach einem ausgestopften Stierkopf, der unbedingt in der Bar hängen soll. Durch die Abwesenheit seiner Frau wird ihm bewusst, wie sehr er seine Familie, seine Freunde und sein Leben liebt.

Alex Capus, der schon seine autobiografisch inspirierten Kolumnen "Skidoo" und "Mein Nachbar Urs" selbst eingesprochen hat, liest auch diesen persönlichen Roman mit großem Charme.

Publisher's Summary:

A heartwarming novel from the New York Times best-selling author. Perfect for fans of Love Letters and Summer at Willow Lake.

Annie Rush seems to have it all - a handsome husband and their fabulous life in Manhattan. But all of that is snatched away when she is involved in a life-changing accident. Awakening from a coma a year later, Annie finds that the life she knew has crumbled away. In the throes of grief, Annie grasps her new reality - she has to start over from scratch, which means heading home. Annie couldn't wait to escape the small town where she grew up, but now she finds herself warming to the close-knit community and its homespun values. There's also a face from the distant past - Donovan Lynch - and all the reasons she's never quite forgotten him come flooding back. Annie expects to pull herself together and return to the city, but fate has other plans....

Critic Reviews:

"This is Susan Wiggs at her best. I devoured the book, turning the pages so fast I got a papercut!" (Debbie Macomber, New York Times best-selling author)

"Love, loss, passion and everything in between...I love Susan Wiggs' novels so much." (Jenny Colgan)

"A wonderful read, fun and wise and absolutely delicious!" (Nancy Thayer, New York Times best-selling author of The Island House)

Members Reviews:

Great amnesia tale

Would you listen to Family Tree again? Why?

Most definitely! It's a motivating read, makes my memory lapses seem not quite as bad as Annie, and

What other book might you compare Family Tree to, and why?

House Trained by Jackie Bouchard. Both Annie (Family Tree) and Alex deal with life changing incidents which requires them to adapt to their new circumstances. They have some failings, but manage triumph in the end, just not in the way they originally expected.

What does Christina Traister bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you had only read the book?

I don't really know, as audiobooks feel the same as normal books to me. I only listen to them because it's less tiring than reading, which is necessary since I have a medical condition with high fatigue and love reading so was a bit frustrated before I found audiobooks.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No. Not because it isn't good, or that in some places I found the plot dragging (which may be because I listen when I'm tired), but because it was a bit of a deep emotional book, and I mostly need light reads so had to take time out to relax.

Any additional comments?

I felt sorry for Annie prior to the accident causing a year long coma, and very sorry after. It was so tough on her to not remember things, to have to relearn how to move her body, to get used to the initial high fatigue which is hard because she was previously a very active person. Her evil ex becomes even evil-er (no such word but who cares), which made me feel even sorrier for Annie. Annie isn't one to mope (much), she works as hard as she can to find her feet following her coma. Thankfully she does have the support of her family, which in itself is a bit of a surprise because there were some issues with her father prior to the coma, so she's got something extra to deal with on top of everything else.

I did cry a few times because there are moments when life overwhelms Annie. She rekindles friendship with someone from the past who could play a big part in her future.

Publisher's Summary:

June was a young widow with a crush on Craig Kirtz, a disc jockey at a local rock station. To her surprise the two struck up a friendship that seemed headed for something more. But it was June's 13-year-old daughter, Bobbie, whom Craig had wanted all along.

Bobbie thought her secret life - the sex, drugs, and relationship itself - could remain buried in the past. But 30 years later, when she discovers Craig had similarly pursued a number of other young girls, Bobbie returns home with one purpose in mind: to bring Craig to trial.

Her decision is greeted with mixed feelings. She's called a "middle-aged woman with a vendetta". She's accused of waging war against her own family.

June remembers things differently from the way Bobbie does. Craig insists he has done nothing wrong. But the past has a way of revealing itself, and some relationships lay dormant through the years, ready to stir to life at the slightest provocation. While their traumatic history is relived in the courtroom, Bobbie and June must face the choices they made and try to make sense of the pain they endured while seeking justice at long last.

Publisher's Summary:

In the 1850s, it was estimated that over 30,000 children were homeless and roaming the busy streets of New York City. Charles Brace saw a need for the children to have homes of their own. He founded the Children's Aid Society. Brace theorized that the children would have a better chance at becoming contributing members of society if they were raised by "God-fearing" farm families. The "Orphan Train" Movement started in 1853 and continued into the early 1900s.

Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline follows Niamh (pronounced Neev) who lived with her family in New York until her father and brothers are killed in a fire and her mother is sent to a mental hospital. Niamh is left to the Child's Aid Society and eventually placed on an Orphan Train to be transported to the Midwest in search of a new family. Many years later Niamh's name is changed and changed again. She is now 91 and twice widowed. Molly is a girl on a crash course with disaster. She has been passed around in the modern day foster system since she was a young girl. Her father died in a car accident and her mother was taken to jail. Molly is sentenced to spend 50 hours of community service for stealing and is sentenced helping Vivian clean out her attic. Somehow the unlikely duo become close friends.

Wow thanks! So easy to understand!

What did you love best about Orphan Train: Summary and Analysis?

I loved how this book helped me understand Orphan Train completely without having to buy the full book.

Wow, amazing review!

It's hard to believe that over 30,000 children were homeless and roaming the busy streets of New York City in the 1850s. This book is so powerful. The author did a great job and reviewing the Orphan Train book. The narrator also made it an enjoyable listening experience. Recommend!

Publisher's Summary:

Curious place Corfu! Civilized, loving but simultaneously explosive. (...) Hunger and dreams,... accompanied by music. Terrific combination that chases away insecurity. Most used word was "berese" i. e. credit. People of Corfu owed their harvest, their job, their existence and their money and they constantly lacked money to buy a new clothe. The only thing they didn't owe to any dealer or lender was the "Holy madness" they carried in their genes and romanticism that illuminated their difficult lives.

In this long audio book, the author and famous actors, using the idiomatic language of the island give life to four tragicomic tales of the Eptanisa. The persons in these stories become alive and are given the opportunity to live for a while with us. In addition we have the opportunity to live the local history.

"NIORANTES - Four comico-tragic short stories", is a part of the "time machine" that leads us to our past but also leads our past towards us, so that we come to know it .

Please note: This audiobook is in Greek.

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Konstantin ist ein Glückskind. Das sagt zumindest seine Mutter, die alles dafür tut, die in der DDR aufwachsenden Söhne davon abzuschirmen, dass ihr Vater ein Kriegsverbrecher war.

Vergebens. Unermüdlich versucht Konstantin, dem Schatten des Vaters zu entkommen. Er ändert seinen Namen, bewirbt sich bei der Fremdenlegion und bringt es fast bis zum Rektor einer Oberschule. Die Vergangenheit holt ihn wieder ein, als seine Frau nach 25 Ehejahren drauf und dran ist, seine wahre Identität zu entdecken.

Christoph Hein erzählt ein Leben in der DDR, in dem das Private nie privat bleiben darf, sondern der Staat zum eigentlichen Gestalter des Lebens wird.
