Title: Reader, I Married Him

Author: Tracy Chevalier - editor

Narrator: Laura Kirman

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 21 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-21-16

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

A collection of short stories celebrating Charlotte Brontë, published in the year of her bicentenary and stemming from the now immortal words from her great work Jane Eyre.

The 21 stories in Reader, I Married Him - one of the most celebrated lines in fiction - are inspired by Jane Eyre and shaped by its perennially fascinating themes of love, compromise and self-determination. A bohemian wedding party takes an unexpected turn for the bride and her daughter; a family trip to a Texan waterpark prompts a life-changing decision; Grace Poole defends Bertha Mason and calls the general opinion of Jane Eyre into question. Mr. Rochester reveals a long-kept secret in 'Reader, She Married Me', and 'The Mirror' boldly imagines Jane's married life after the novel ends. A new mother encounters an old lover after her daily swim and inexplicably lies to him, and a fitness instructor teaches teenage boys how to handle a pit bull terrier by telling them Jane Eyre's story.

Edited by Tracy Chevalier, this collection brings together some of the finest and most creative voices in fiction today to celebrate and salute the strength and lasting relevance of Charlotte Brontë's game-changing novel and its beloved narrator.

A Mixed Bag

There are some little gems here, don't get me wrong, but too many 'stocking fillers' and nothing big enough to be a 'main present'. The performance too, is patchy, too many mispronunciations of common enough words and names, which set my teeth on edge. If I had read it first I wouldn't have wasted a credit on it.

Publisher's Summary:

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of My Map of You by Isabelle Broom, read by Olivia Poulet, Nicola Stanton and Kristin Atherton.

Holly Wright has had a difficult few years. After her mother's death, she's become expert at keeping people at a distance - including her boyfriend, Rupert. But when Holly receives an unexpected letter explaining that an aunt she never met has left her a house on the Greek island of Zakynthos, the walls she has built begin to crumble.

Arriving on the island, Holly meets the handsome Aidan and slowly begins to uncover the truth about the secret which tore her family apart. But is the island where Holly really belongs? Or will her real life catch up with her first?

Members Reviews:

A fine debut novel

I loved the cover of this book, the blurb and what I'd read about it so I was keen to read this myself.

Essentially it is the story of Holly and how a surprise letter from an Aunt she never knew she had, leads her on a journey to Zakynthos to hopefully discover the truth about her mother and her Aunt. As well as uncovering the secrets of the past, it also helps Holly to re-assess her life and what she really wants for her future. Throw in a handsome sexy Irishman to stir things up and it all made for an interesting mix.

I enjoyed this book and especially the descriptions of Zakynthos, which should have the Greek Tourist Board rubbing their hands in glee. It was a perfect little tour of the island that would enchant anyone. As my first adult holiday was to a Greek Island, it certainly brought back happy memories and reminded me of just how beautiful and relaxed island life can be, away from the tourist hot spots. I also enjoyed meeting some of the island's inhabitants, both animal and human, but especially Irish vet, Aidan, (a certain namesake Mr Turner sprang to mind, which helped feed the imagination).

If I had any qualms about the book, it was the English characters that left a little to be desired. I initially took a dislike to Rupert, his lifestyle and his friends, though I suspect that might have been a deliberate ploy. However there were also times that I didn't particularly like Holly and her failure to be fair and honest. By the end of the book I'd almost done an about turn re Rupert, who while still not my cup of tea, was loyal and supportive.

Misgivings aside, and as is always the case, these are purely personal reflections, it tells an interesting and engaging story, that bodes well for the future given that this is a debut novel.

I received a review copy via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

This is the perfect escapism book for the summer

Thank you to Penguin Michael Joseph for accepting my request via Netgalley. This is Isabelle's debut book. I requested it for two reasons one was the cover and the second is that I am half Greek and love reading any books set in Greece.

Holly didn't know she had an aunt living on Zakynthos. When she's left her aunts house in the will Holly decides to go there for 2 weeks. Her plan is to sort the house out and sell it on. But when she starts to go through her aunts things she's looking for the secret that tore her mum and her twin sister apart.

This story is quite heartbreaking but I loved every part of it.

I didnt like Rupert to begin with.

Members Reviews:

A little gem, a vital aqualung for a soul in stasis.

This book brought me the same wonder that I get when I walk along a beach and I find a piece of mother of pearl, or pebble in the shape of Africa -a private, intense joy as if the universe has conspired to drop a bit of magic into my lap. I felt like I was reading someones diary, a very deep personal place inside someones soul that opened briefly -and you got to see it quickly before the secret door closed again forever. There are turn of phrases that struck me as totally unique and unused, a world I would like to visit. I want to be friends with these people -I want to hang out with these characters at the 'Starlight'. I want to lie on those loungers looking up at the stars. You know that feeling when you were a kid and you really wanted the Willie Wonka Golden wrapper to be real -and then to find one. This is the place I want to be real as an adult. I liked being led there and finding a totally unknown part of yourself you didn't know you had -with Green Margie as your tour guide.

A Beautiful Reminder

This story of recovery and reclamation of self under the Karoo stars is funny, honest and charming. Through Margie's slow return from pain and Cape Town to the basic natural joy of seedlings and sunrise, we get to accompany her in an evaluation of what is really necessary for happiness. Each character is drawn with critical nuance and we are able to grow in love or distaste for them as the tale unfolds. The author shades in a careful picture of the politics of a small Karoo town, the racism and resistance to change sitting in spiky contrast to the natural beauty. If ever a book has powered up my desire to throw my life and dogs in the car and head for that wide dry land, it is this book

I hated saying goodbye to Margie

Margie is the kind of person you meet at page one and hate to say goodbye to at the end of the book. It's easy to see why she struggles with life's endless challenges - she's clever, demanding and impulsive, she takes no prisoners, suffers no fools - but mostly, she is decent and very very funny. I loved Margie and felt spellbound by her story. I loved this book.

Warmth, laughter and insight

An absolutely enjoyable read, full of warmth, laughter, and insight. A story of restoration, friendship, and the joys of the human spirit, with characters that are wonderful to get to know.

excellent book, thoroughly entertaining especially for South Africans

excellent book, thoroughly entertaining especially for South Africans, but also a very good read for any audience

Title: Relativity

Author: Antonia Hayes

Narrator: Antonia Hayes

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13 hrs and 32 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-07-16

Publisher: Hachette Audio UK

Ratings: 2 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Before your brain can register what you're being told, you know that something is wrong. And before you can respond, it's already too late. Because once you've heard those words, an event is set into motion and everything will change.

"Help," he said. "He's not breathing." A tiny baby is rushed to hospital. Doctors find an injury to his brain and suspect he was shaken by his father, who is later charged and convicted. The baby grows up in the care of his mother. Life goes on.

Twelve years later, Ethan is now a singular young boy. Gifted with an innate affinity for physics and astronomy, Ethan sees the world in ways his classmates (and even his mum and teachers) simply can't - through a prism of light, time, stars and space.

Ethan is the centre of his mother's universe. Claire has tried to keep him safe - from illness, from feeling 'different', and from finding out what happened when he was a baby. But the older Ethan gets, the more questions he asks about his childhood and the father whose lifelong absence can't be explained by a single crushed photograph and a name, Mark, which is all Ethan has of him to cling to.

A single handwritten letter is all it takes to set off a chain of events which demand that the gravity of pure love pull both parents into Ethan's orbit. As the years seem to warp and bend, the past is both relived and revealed anew for each of them.

Relativity is an irresistible story about love, unbreakable bonds, irreversible acts and science.

Critic Reviews:

"Relativity is wonderful, a beautifully written, heartbreaking novel that I feel certain will find the huge audience it deserves." (S J Watson, author of Before I Go to Sleep and Second Life)

"Relativity is a novel of assured and measured empathy, a story of familial love and familial hurt that is fair, honest and remarkably non-judgemental. Hayes is a convincing writer and a true storyteller: her characters are alive." (Christis Tsiolkas, author of The Slap)

"The race towards the conclusion keeps us guessing, but ultimately, it's the beautifully drawn characters who stay with you long after the final page." (Australian Women's Weekly)

"Relativity is a transcendental book that manages to stay grounded and true in its warmth and pathos. With fully realised characters and a gripping storyline that unfolds into a carefully constructed equation of familial love, I could not put it down." (Alice Pung, author of Unplolished Gem and Laurinda)

"Pulls you into the moment like you've unexpectedly pin-dropped through Antarctic ice...Relativity upends expectations and holds you in its thrall as Hayes asks unsettling questions about the frailties of memory and love...An Australian debut not to be missed." (Readings Monthly)

Members Reviews:

Complex and beautiful

The writing is so fluid and sophisticated. Who knew reading about physics would be so moving? Literally moved from emotion to emotion right alongwith the story. I experienced such a range of feelings toward the same characters. Lovely work about the power of forgiveness.

The boy who can see physics

Loved the blend of interesting science and family story in this complex and beautiful novel. Such a well-written book, so many of the sentences were like jewels. Ethan was such a finely drawn and magical character. The boy who can see physics will stay with me for a long time.

Publisher's Summary:

From the best-selling author of Thursdays in the Park comes a tense, emotional drama about what happens to a family when a secret is kept hidden and a stranger is suddenly introduced into the dynamic.

Annie Delancey is happily married, in her early 50s, with three grown children. But Annie guards a secret. At age 19 she had a baby boy and gave him up for adoption. She still thinks of him every day.

One day she receives a letter from Kent Social Services; her son, Daniel, wants to make contact. A part of her is overjoyed - she longs to meet him. But another part fears what this revelation will do to her family, none of who know about her past.

When Daniel is introduced to Annie's family, a few small tears in the family fabric suddenly gape wide, and the impact is greater than she could have ever imagined.

Members Reviews:

Five Stars

Loved this book thanks

How difficult is it to hold a secret you want to tell?

Annie Delancey has a wonderful husband, her children have grown into amazing people, relations with her mother are stable, but Annie has a terrible secret that is about to be revealed to mixed reviews. Annie had a one night relationship that led to a son she gave up for adoption which only her mother and husband are aware of until her son; Daniel wants to be a part of her life.

When the confession comes forth the reaction is mixed and the more integrated Daniel becomes in their lives the more combative Annieâs relationships become with her second son and then her husband. Everyone sees Daniel as an interloper into what they considered the perfect family life, but facing the fact that no one is leading a golden life comes with consequences. Annieâs husband grows distant, her children critical, and her mother even more remote. To reconcile that the life and love she has for the family she adores who are now jealous of a son from the past makes no sense. Annie is a mother to all of her children and will not have Daniel pushed out regardless of how much it takes out of her to keep him in.

When a scandal blows up and the sudden death of a family member come tumbling down on her shoulders Annie shows what she is made of, and even when the past has to be confronted nothing will stop her from mending hearts and fulfilling everyoneâs needs.

Slice of life

3.5 stars

Annie Delancey has the perfect life. A successful business she built from the ground up doing something she loves, a supportive and loving husband, and three children navigating young adulthood. When she receives a letter from Kent Social Services her perfect life will be challenged by a secret sheâs kept from her children; thirty-five years ago an unwed Annie gave her first born son up for adoption.

Annie told her husband, Richard, about Daniel prior to their marriage but the time had never seemed right to tell her children, Ed, Marsha, and Lucy. Now Daniel wants to connect with his birth mother leaving Annie no choice but to reveal her past to her children. After all, not a day has gone by that she hasnât thought of him, wondered what he was like, if sheâd done the right thing and had his adoptive parents loved him.

Title: A Dog's Life

Author: Michael Holroyd

Narrator: Jonathan Keeble

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 43 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-05-16

Publisher: Quercus

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Eustace is the undisputed patriarch of the Farquhar family - that is, he would be if everyone left him alone so he could get on with things, like shaving and finding his way downstairs.

It's not Henry's fault that he snores and that his marriage has collapsed. Or that he failed to get into the cricket team. But he has made up for it and is now a faster motorist than ever he was a bowler. He is a good father, too, and one day when he wakes up from daydreaming, his son, Kenneth, will thank him.

It is good that Anne sleeps with a whistle in her mouth - how else could she terrify the burglars? As for Mathilda, she would love to like her mother but prefers going for long walks with the dog. But what will happen to them all if the dog dies?

The story is followed by a devastating postscript. Placing this eccentric family in isolation after two world wars and at the beginning of our aggressive financial culture, it turns comedy into tragedy. A Dog's Life marks a very personal addition to Michael Holroyd's remarkable career.

Critic Reviews:

"One of the great biographers of our age." (Lynn Barber, Daily Telegraph)

"Michael Holroyd has a great novelist's sense of the obstinate mystery of the human person." (George Steiner)

"A writer who can do with English what his forbears so signally could not do with money; keep its value up." (Candia McWilliam, London Evening Standard)
