Title: Mother Superior

Author: Saleema Nawaz

Narrator: Erin Moon

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 48 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-14-17

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Fiction, Literary

Publisher's Summary:

Mother Superior introduces Saleema Nawaz as a truly bold new voice in fiction. Gorgeous, sensuous prose and edgy, taboo-breaking subject matter combine to create a collection quite unlike anything else being published today.

A prostitute takes shelter with a group of young anarchists. A sister goes missing, mailing a trail of encoded postcards from destinations across the globe. The daughters of a Montreal bagel-shop owner navigate the tricky terrain of being young, Sikh, and female, one growing larger while the other fades. A woman watches with lust and longing as the object of her affections, her pregnant roommate, is pursued by an unsavory suitor. And a precocious child spies on her adoptive mother, trying to grasp the secret of her mother's hidden obsession and of her own unexplained origins.

The seven stories and two novellas in Mother Superior are a heady blend of misfits and mothers, of sisters and complex, mysterious others. Nawaz traces the scars left by family secrets and sings the complex, captivating language of lust and of love.

Members Reviews:

VIBRANT, BOLD AND SIZZLING!

The stories in this collection take place in Montreal. There are seven stories and two Novellas, titled Mother Superior and The White Dress. The White Dress won the inaugural Robert Kroetsch Award for Best Creative Thesis at the University of Manitoba and Mother Superior has received praise as well.

I love Saleema Nawaz's writing. It is full of energy and it is original. The cast of characters are absorbing and memorable.

In Mother Superior, a wayward young woman lives with her lesbian roommate, who eyes her with lust. She is pregnant and won't get an abortion. She says that she is a slut for Jesus and the story goes on.

My tthree girls has one of the girls seriously ill and she won't take her medication, because she is pregnant. What happens to her and the two girls who happen to be her sisters?

In Bloodlines, a Montreal bagel-shop owner has two daughters, Beena and Sadhana. Their mother is hit while riding her bicycle and dies. A year later, their father dies suddenly. Their uncle moves in and takes over the bagel business and the sisters are left on their own. Beena is growing larger, while Sadhana is keeping a secret. The story is about how the daughters make their way in the community being young, Sikh and female.

In the story titled Sandy, Sandy is found lying on the street bleeding and drunk. She is wearing a red halter top and a miniskirt. The words that come out of her mouth are "I WAS BORN TO DO THIS". She is a three hundred pound prostitute. She is given shelter by a group of rebels.

The cast of characters are a varied group of misfits including mothers, sisters and others who are trying hard to make it into society.

Saleema Nawaz is a new star on the horizon. I love her unique, vibrant and witty style of writing. Her stories will draw you in from beginning to end.

I highly recommend Mother Superior. It merits FIVE STARS.

Title: Out of Practice

Subtitle: The Larkford Series, Book 1

Author: Penny Parkes

Narrator: Anna Bentinck

Format: Unabridged

Length: 16 hrs and 31 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-09-17

Publisher: Simon & Schuster UK

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Fiction, Literary

Publisher's Summary:

Out of Practice is based around a large country medical practice, which proves to be a hotbed of rivalry, resentment and romance - and that's just the doctors. Think James Herriot meets House.

Meet married mum of two and successful GP Holly Graham as she relocates her family to join the team at The Practice at Beckerford, hoping to find the peaceful life she craves, despite the chaos that comes with her two-year-old twins and the troublesome state of her marriage. It will certainly be a challenge to keep her private and professional lives separate in such a tight-knit community.

Her colleagues have their own issues to contend with. The gorgeous Dr. Dan Carter is struggling to focus on work, and the last thing he needs is any more stress; having his ambitious ex-girlfriend, Dr. Julia Channing, working alongside him isn't really helping. Thankfully the rather delectable Dr. Taffy Jones is on hand to distract Holly from the escalating situation at home.

Feisty octogenarian and resident celebrity Elsie Townsend is Holly's favorite patient and saving grace. Elsie's inspirational life lessons come at the perfect moment, as the practice is suddenly under threat of imminent closure, and Holly rediscovers her voice and her priorities just in time.

Julia Rose has created a masterpiece

this beautifully written descriptive novel gave me a true picture of what Autumn's life was like growing up the Milwaukee Wisconsin.I could relate to her struggles through her life and her determination to fight to better herself and address her demons. Great book!

Looking forward to her next book!

Ms. Rose is a fantastic writer. You can really tell she writes from the heart. Even though this is aimed at young adult readers, I really enjoyed this book, being in my late 30's.

Rose did a good job with her use of metaphors

The story is interesting and moves well. Rose did a good job with her use of metaphors.

Title: The Stove-Junker

Author: S.K. Kalsi

Narrator: Brad Wills

Format: Unabridged

Length: 14 hrs and 34 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-04-16

Publisher: Surya K. Kalsi

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Fiction, Literary

Publisher's Summary:

Part elegy, part history, part existential ghost tale, The Stove-Junker is a harrowing, lyrical meditation on loss, heartbreak, and the power of memory. In this extraordinary debut novel, S.K. Kalsi has crafted a haunting tale of unvarnished self-examination, as experienced through the story's central character, Somerset Garden, the stove-junker.

In the winter of 2012, 79-year-old Somerset travels back to his ancestral home in idyllic Drums, Pennsylvania, to renovate his dilapidated house. Burdened by the loss of his beloved wife, the long-ago disappearance of his rebellious son, and angry at God and at himself, Somerset hopes to reach a final understanding of the meaning of his life. While a blizzard barrels down from the north, Somerset discovers an unnamed boy squatting on the property, a strange child who forces him to confront his past.

As he unearths objects in the house that had been lost or discarded in the debris, Somerset remembers his father's cruelty and the accident that cost him his brother's life; he revisits the itinerant wandering of his youth, tethered to a troubled mother; he mourns the loss of his wife and ponders the decades-long absence of his son - all of whom are caught in the grip of Luzerne County's ancient history of violence.

Five Stars

I loved it! But then again it's my novel :)

Rewarding for literature lovers, challenging for others

In an excellent, depressing, and undoubtedly realistic 2012 blog post entitled " 'It Can't Be Done': The Difficulty of Growing a Jazz Audience," Kurt Ellenberger notes:

"...most of the music we are trying to build an audience for is cognitively demanding. So we're looking for some marketing, education, packaging or programming strategy that will influence and/or supersede both personal taste and the enormous pressures of the dominant popular culture; at the same time, we're asking people to commit to an art form that will tax (and probably frustrate) their capabilities before, hopefully, delivering a heightened aesthetic experience."

Most people, even most educated and intelligent people, don't want to grapple with cognitively demanding material in their leisure time. Attempts to make them want to - Oprah Winfrey's 2005 "Summer of Faulkner" is a great example - are almost always foreordained to failure. Dragging those who are not accomplished swimmers into the deep end of the pool is more likely to alarm them than stimulate or satisfy them.

I say this by way of preface to introducing a beautiful novel by a clearly gifted author - S.K. Kalsi's The Stove-Junker. As it happens, Faulkner is the first author that Kalsi acknowledges in a list of influences in the "Acknowledgements" at the back of the book, and the comparison is not an over-reach, because the commonalities are apparent:

Stream-of-consciousness writing style

Dense, poetic, highly specific prose

Unreliable narration

Thickly described place-setting (in Kalsi's case, Luzerne County in Northeast Pennsylvania)

Only a couple of inches beneath the highly figured modernist surface, you find a melodramatic, potentially pulpy story of a deeply dysfunctional family across a couple of generations, with heavy "shadows of the past"

This last point is what makes Kalsi more Faulknerian than Joycean (Joyce is the second writer he thanks).

Der brutale Fall ins Nichts.

An einem nebligen Abend startet ein Privatjet zu einem Flug nach New York. Wenige Minuten später stürzt er in den Atlantik. Alle Passagiere sterben - nur der Maler Scott Burroughs und der vierjährige JJ überleben inmitten der brennenden Trümmer. Und Scott gelingt das Unmögliche: Er schafft es, den Jungen an das weit entfernte Ufer zu retten. Doch keiner von beiden kann sich an die Geschehnisse vor dem Absturz erinnern. Während die Suchtrupps fieberhaft nach den Leichen und der Blackbox fahnden, drängen sich neue Ereignisse in den Vordergrund. Scott gerät dabei in eine Welt der Intrigen und Manipulationen, in der niemand vor dem brutalen Fall ins Nichts geschützt ist.

Publisher's Summary:

Twelve-year-old Larry Blank fears he's as nondescript as his name. At his tony private school, where kids compete to claim links to oppression, his humdrum family history marks him so boring he's not even worth bullying. In the run-up to his bar mitzvah, he hits on the idea of spinning his ancestors' experiences into a saga harrowing enough to bestow on him the coveted status of underprivilege. Funny, poignant, a coming-of-age story like no other, Ordinary Pain is also a thought-provoking look at the mysterious workings of empathy in an age of identity politics.
