Publisher's Summary:

Tucked into the north Maine woods, along the west branch of the Penobscot River, is the fly fishing destination town of Roslyn. The river, and dozens of streams in the valley, are waters famous for the fish they hold. Ben Garrison, a beautiful, gentle young man with a skeletal deformity and a bad limp evolves into the most capable, accomplished hermit in town; he is a master gardener, a gourmet chef, a poet and a Zen-like fly fisher, and a confidant of the lovely farmhand Annie Nielson. After an unspeakable tragedy, Annie and Ben explore the dynamics of an unlikely relationship. Annie must discover her own destiny while coming to grips with her untold dreams, and with her conflicting commitment to helping on the family farm, all the while fishing for the salmon and trout that are native to the cold, clear waters in the mountain streams. There are life lessons within the minutes, and there is even a little fly fishing.

touching book

This is a romantics view of life , fly fishing and life in the wilds of Maine. Worth a look, esp. if you have some familiarity with any of the above subjects. Told by one who is obviously used to spinning a yarn, and keeping an audience entertained. Good intro novella

Great story

Headline "great story ".Held my interest all through the book look fwd to another by denis dauphinee as soon as i can get this dumb review over

Boring love story.

Excellent book about fly fishing techniques, but somewhat bland, almost like a chick flick book about love. Forced myself to finish it. I don't recommend it.

Dauphinee catches the big one with his novel The River Home

Most of us who write want to write a novel, plan to write a novel, have tried to write a novel, or have written an unpublished novel. I recently launched my third attempt at writing a novel, fervently believing the mantra: if at first you donât succeed, try, try, again.

I am learning that it takes a great idea, a ton of effort, some real writing talent, and a lot of luck to write and publish a novel. I actually ran out of story at about 2000 words in my previous attempts, but this time, Iâm already up to 6,000! Just 44,000 to go.

So letâs start by applauding Denis D Dauphineeâs perseverance in not only writing a very good novel, but in finding a publisher who believed in it.

The River Home was published by North Country Press in Unity, Maine, and itâs a keeper. Dâs other book, Stoneflies and Turtleheads, also published by North Country Press, is a work of nonfiction, all about fly fishing. And he carries the fly fishing theme through The River Home.

But itâs not all about fly fishing. Thereâs love and tragedy, hope and renewal, in a small rural Maine town, with plenty of references to actual places so that the story seems all so real. I laughed. I cried. I couldnât wait to read the next chapter.

I even appreciated the fact that the print is large â very suitable for tired old eyes like mine.

My wife Linda and I were attracted to the book as soon as we saw the cover, a beautiful pony-tailed blond girl fly fishing on a stream.

Title: Julian Fellowes's Belgravia Episode 8

Subtitle: An Income for Life

Author: Julian Fellowes

Narrator: Juliet Stevenson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 46 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-26-16

Publisher: Orion Publishing Group

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Information comes to light that could prove both dangerous and useful to a man with ambition.

Julian Fellowes's Belgravia is a story in 11 episodes published week by week in the tradition of Charles Dickens. Belgravia is the story of a secret. A secret that unravels behind the porticoed doors of London's grandest postcode. The story behind the secret will be revealed in weekly bite-sized instalments complete with twists and turns and cliffhanger endings.

Set in the 1840s, when the upper echelons of society began to rub shoulders with the emerging industrial nouveau riche, Belgravia is peopled by a rich cast of characters. But the story begins on the eve of the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. At the Duchess of Richmond's now legendary ball, one family's life will change for ever....

Members Reviews:

BELGRAVIA is most readable, most affordable, most entertaining and interesting

Over the past few weeks I have read chapters (or installments) 4 through 8 of Julian Fellowes BELGRAVIA.

Chapter 4 - At home in Belgrave Square

Chapter 5 - The assignation

Chapter 6 - A spy in our midst

Chapter 7 - A man of business

Chapter 8 - An income for life

As I wrote in a previous review, BELGRAVIA is a quiet, detailed story set in 1840s England and revolves around a secret. The story is set against the backdrop of British society and manners.

Chapters 4 through 8 reveal an emerging clash between the established, entrenched society and the ânew rich/nouveau richeâ upstarts. There is also an evolving tension between upstairs and downstairs attitudes and responsibilities and expectations. I find these to be very interesting threads and they certainly reflect the society of the period.

I am eagerly awaiting chapters 9, 10, and 11 and I have enjoyed the serialization of the novel more than I originally thought I would.

I know this serialization idea was not a novel one (excuse me), but it isnât used much (if at all) currently.

A bit of quick research on Wikipedia informed me that âIn literature, a serial is a printed format by which a single, larger work, often a work of narrative fiction, is published in sequential installments.â

Serialization was very popular in Britainâs Victorian era.

Serialization has examples in Britain, France, the U.S., Russia and China.

In 1836, Dickensâ THE PICKWICK PAPERS established the popularity and viability of this format. Thackeray, Wilkie Collins and Arthur Conan Doyle all published serializations.

In the U.S., Harriet Beecher Stowe used this publishing method. UNCLE TOMâS CABIN was published over a 40 week period by The National Era.

I found out that BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES by Tom Wolfe ran in 27 parts in Rolling Stone and that Stephen King has used the internet as a venue for serialization.

Excuse me for prattling on, but I became very interested in this literary format. (Thank you Wikipedia for providing me with so much info.)

I find BELGRAVIA to be a serialization most readable, most affordable, most entertaining and interesting. The plot points are firmly established and tension is upheld throughout. I will be sorry when BELGRAVIA concludes with Chapter 11.

Akin to Downton!

I enjoyed the series, Each installment led me to want to read the next. It certainly is not as dramatic or involved as Downton Abbey,

but it was of that genre.

OK

It's not Downton Abbey, that is for sure. It has a nice story line but no surprises.

Résumé de l'éditeur:

Ils s'appellent Étienne, Abel, Philomène et Mélanie. Ils ont vingt-trois, quatorze, dix et six ans quand nait le XXème siècle. Enfants de pauvres métayers du Causse de Granger (Lot) - et Dieu sait ce qu'il en allait d'être pauvres et métayers dans ces années-là et sur leur terre de misère ! - , ils ne peuvent choisir qu'entre le départ ou la soumission. Mais déjà le monde change, des idées nouvelles circulent qui commencent à ébranler cet univers de pierre figé dans l'Histoire.

Les paroles d'Armand le sabotier, l'arrivée d'un instituteur laïc jettent des ferments de révolte qui, pour certains, la grande Guerre venue et s'éternisant en massacres, conduiront aux mutineries de 1917. Ainsi va le destin des hommes. Mais les femmes demeurent, patientes prêtresses de la vie et de la mort. Par-delà les drames, dépassant les injustices et les crimes, elles poursuivent leur œuvre de création. Elles sont l'amour. Un jour, Philomène enfant a donné à son ami Adrien deux petits cailloux bleus pour quils lui portent chance. Deux petits cailloux bleus...

Voici l'histoire d'une famille, d'une terre, d'un village et d'une époque où chaque français d'aujourd'hui peut reconnaître les siens. Ici, tout est vrai et juste : les actes, les paroles, les pensées, les sentiments. Ici, se respirent l'air du Causse, glacé ou brûlant, et le parfum des pierres et des genévriers.

Titre: Ils attendaient l'aurore

Auteur: Claude Michelet

Narrateur: Yves Mugler

Format: Unabridged

Durée: 10 hrs and 10 mins

Langue: Français

Date de publication: 05-20-16

Éditeur: Audible Studios

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Résumé de l'éditeur:

Paris, 1940. Jean, Albert et René sont jeunes et bercés d'illusions... Mais ils ne savent pas encore à quel point leurs choix vont sceller leur destin. Le grand roman de Claude Michelet sur la Résistance. En cet hiver 1940, les Allemands occupent Paris. Trois amis, Jean, Albert et René partagent un goût commun pour la natation et la même inquiétude devant un avenir qui s'annonce très sombre. Le 11 Novembre, sans trop réfléchir, Jean participe à une manifestation anti-allemande organisée autour de l'Arc de Triomphe. Pris à part par la police, il blesse un gendarme en voulant s'enfuir, lui laissant entre les mains son veston et ses papiers.

Désormais, c'est un fugitif qui n'a d'autre choix que de se tourner vers une jeune journaliste américaine rencontrée peu avant, qui le conduit dans une maison de couture dirigée par une femme étonnante : Claire Diamond. Bien qu'elle habille les compagnes de tous les Allemands influents de Paris, Jean va vite comprendre que Claire joue un rôle dans la Résistance qui est en train de naître. C'est elle qui va lui permettre de rejoindre ces réseaux vers lesquels il se sent si naturellement attiré. Albert, lui, a choisi la Collaboration. Il n'hésite pas une seconde à infiltrer les cercles étudiants et dénonce tous les rebelles à la propagande nazie. Sous pseudonyme, il collabore activement aux journaux les plus virulents, tels "Je suis partout" ou "La Gerbe". Quant à René, trop préoccupé de son plaisir personnel, des femmes et de la belle vie, il ne choisit aucun des deux camps. Il se retrouvera pourtant enrôlé de force dans le STO et souffrira de mille morts au fin fond de l'Allemagne.

À travers trois destins, Claude Michelet retrace avec la rigueur de l'historien et le souffle du romancier toutes les facettes de cette époque dramatique ou une infime poignée d'hommes et de femmes ont su redonner à la France sa grandeur et son honneur. C'est aussi, en filigrane, l'hommage de Claude Michelet à son père, le grand patriote et résistant que fut Edmond Michelet.

Davidù sale sul ring per la prima volta a nove anni.

Titolo: Le certezze del dubbio

Autore: Goliarda Sapienza

Narratore: Anita Zagaria

Formato: Unabridged

Durata: 5 hrs and 48 mins

Lingua: Italiano

Data di pubblicazione: 05-20-16

Editore: Audible Studios

Categoria: Fiction, Contemporary

Riepilogo Editore:

Una provocazione, un furto in casa di conoscenti, ecco l'evento che apre a Goliarda Sapienza le porte del carcere romano di Rebibbia. Accolta con sospetto dalle compagne di cella per i mocassini alla moda e la camicetta di seta che indossa, la scrittrice comprende presto, però, che in prigione, dove ipocrisie e illusioni vengono meno, può finalmente essere se stessa.

Ben più amara è la scoperta di quanto sia difficile tornare alla vita quotidiana, quando poche settimane dopo viene rilasciata, a un mondo che non capisce il diverso e non perdona gli errori.

Romanzo di febbre e d'intelligenza, "Le certezze del dubbio" racconta, attraverso una scrittura corporea, il passaggio a quel nuovo mondo che è la città, e insieme la rivelazione che la solidarietà, l'amicizia e il calore sono possibili anche al di fuori delle mura circondariali.

Recensioni dei membri:

not as good as l'arte della gioia

I bought this book after reading 'l'arte della gioia', which I loved. Although I like Sapienza's writing generally, 'le certezze del dubbio' is a fairly short autobiografical fragment, whereas l'arte della gioia is a rich and satisfying fresco spanning half a century of Italian history.

Title: The Trap

Author: Melanie Raabe

Narrator: Julie Teal

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 3 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-19-16

Publisher: Pan Macmillan Publishers Ltd.

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

The Trap by Melanie Raabe is set and ready to spring.

I know who killed my sister.

I wrote this novel for him.

Twelve years ago Linda's sister, Anna, was murdered. Her killer was never caught, but Linda saw him. Now, all these years on, she's just seen him again. On TV.

He has since become a well-known reporter, and Linda - a famous novelist and infamous recluse - knows no one will believe her if she accuses him, so she does the only thing she can think of: she writes a thriller about a woman who is murdered, her killer never caught. When the book is published, she agrees to give just one media interview. At home. To the one person who knows more about the case than she does.

He knows what happened that night, and she wrote a book about it, but when the doorbell rings neither of them can be sure how the story will end.

Members Reviews:

Not great

What did you like best about The Trap? What did you like least?

It was quite intriguing, but was sort of a book within a book and got a bit confusing at some points.She would be telling the tale in the first person, but next thing it turns out that what she was saying was happening was just her imagination - then she would relate what was really happening, but all the while I was wondering if it was another of her imaginings or dreams. She goes off on a tangent quite a lot and talks a load of rubbish. I wasn't interested in the main character at all I found her to be boring

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The meeting with the journalist was the best part of the book. The least interesting was her endless descriptions. By the end, I really didn't care what the ending was going to be!

Would you listen to another book narrated by Julie Teal?

I don't think so

If this book were a film would you go see it?

No

Members Reviews:

Classic melodic rock!

Boulevard were a melodic rock band from Canada and this is the Majestic Rock Records reissue of their second album Into The Street. Boulevard's music is a blend of strong songwriting and excellent musicianship with good quality production and killer vocals. The end result of this mix was a classic album of high quality melodic rock similar in style to Toto, Tim Feehan, Neverland, and early Richard Marx. Highlights include the opening song "Talk To Me", the melodic rocker "Lead Me On", the blissful sound of "Eye Of The Hurricane", the strong power ballad "Crazy Life", and the awesome playing in "Where Are You Now". Into The Street is a good example of what happens when everything comes together for a band and it's a shame that Boulevard faded so soon after the release of this album. Into The Street is definitely a melodic rock classic and is essential listening for fans of this style of music.

A must have!

I'm writing this review just to let you know that If you are a fan of classic 80's AOR then this is a must have. This band has a unique sound, crisp and clear vocals, full of melodic harmonies and great musicianship. Actually you must also own their first album, that one is more keyboard oriented as "into the streets" is more guitar oriented. Make no mistake, you won't regret it, both albums define what AOR really is. All songs are great, no fillers, but my favorite is "Crazy Life", man what a great song, go to YouTube and check the promo video of this song, it's just pure classic AOR breeze with great melodic moments. Too shame these guys from Canada didn't get what they deserved and only lasted 2 albums after quitting all thanks to the grunge wave, but I least we can still hear them today with these re-issues. Get both albums really.

Great Follow Up Album, An Essential Album For Fans Of 80s And Early 90s Rock

You can tell the band hit the ground running on their second offering. It's a powerful album, featuring quite a few good songs. The recording quality has improved as well. Still, there's something about their first album, and their earlier works from Germany, that speak to me on a deeper level. If you're into 80s rock laced with a little synth, or early 90s rock, this album should definitely be added to your collection.

Popular AOR master-class!!!

"Into the street" is the second album by Canadian AOR band "Boulevard" originally released in 1990, reissued in 2010 by "Metal Mind Productions". The line up has remained fairly consistent since their 1988 debut, featuring lead singer David Forbes, guitarist Randy Gould, keyboardist Andrew Johns, saxophonist Mark Holden plus the new rhythm section of Tom Christiansen and Randall Stoll.

Technically "Into the street" provided a considerable departure from the sound of their debut "Blvd".
