In Western Australia, Sarah chuckles as she describes her final will and testament - which will throw the metaphorical cat among the family pigeons - whilst sharing a bottle of wine with her neighbour Thomas as they sit on the terrace of her luxurious waterside home. Six months later, at the age of ninety-five, she peacefully passes on. Married and widowed three times, Sarah has had a great life as a successful businesswoman. Now she's left her Australian house to her two great-nieces - on the condition that they live in it together for a year. After that, they can sell it and split the money between them. If either of them doesn't last all twelve months, the next person on the list will be invited to try for the inheritance - but will still have to stick it out a full year before the house can be sold . . .

Greta Jellings blushes and bumbles her way through her carefully ordered existence, forever constrained by what her mother would have said and done.

Title: Three Tales

Author: Gustave Flaubert

Narrator: Andrew Wincott

Format: Unabridged

Length: 04:40:52

Language: English

Release date: 03-31-22

Publisher: Naxos Audiobooks

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Classics

Summary:

Published at the end of Flaubert's career, Three Tales is a collection of three compelling short stories about faith, loneliness and love. In 'A Simple Heart' (the inspiration for Julian Barnes's novel Flaubert's Parrot), a saint-like servant girl begins to experience religious visions of her pet parrot after enduring the loss of loved ones. 'The Legend of Saint Julian the Hospitaller', based on a stained-glass window in Rouen Cathedral, presents the origin story of Julian the Hospitaller, who renounces the violence of his past and cares for the indigent. 'Herodias', the final story, retells the beheading of St John the Baptist, and the seduction of Herod by Salome. Elegant and bracing, Three Tales is a rich, stylistic showcase from the writer best known for the perennial favourite Madame Bovary.

Title: Holding Tight, Letting Go: My Life, Death and All the Madness In Between

Author: Sarah Hughes

Narrator: Melissa Woodbridge

Format: Unabridged

Length: 04:11:10

Language: English

Release date: 03-31-22

Publisher: Bonnier Publishing Audio

Genres: Biography & Memoir

Summary:

'Too often we minimise the reality of terminal cancer, concentrating instead on survival records and talking only in positive pink ribbon terms. But what of those who live daily with the shadow of the disease? This is a book about how that feels. It is about how to die as much as about to how to live; yet it is also life-affirming, funny and shot through with hope.'

Life is full of small details that we tuck away somewhere to revisit when we need them most: the calming sound of the sea, that childlike joy when you feel the sun hit your face on an early February morning. These small details knitted together, make up our perfect, ordinary lives. Few understood the importance of these more than Sarah Hughes, who lived with terminal metastatic cancer for over three years and who died in April 2021.

This book is a celebration of everything that can make up a life, and how to hold it all close: how to cherish the perspective-changing, exhale-bringing perspective of a trashy novel; how to find the upside of chemo (finally being able to fit into flippy french tea dresses); how to explore the intimate topography of a body that's yours and yours alone.

For fans of Matt Haig and Maggie O'Farrell, this is a tender word-of-mouth bestseller: the sort of book you'll press into the hands of your friends, family and a stranger in a bookshop.

Title: Three Lives

Author: Gertrude Stein

Narrator: Laurel Lefkow, Trei Taylor

Format: Unabridged

Length: 08:49:06

Language: English

Release date: 03-31-22

Publisher: Naxos Audiobooks

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Classics

Summary:

Gertrude Stein's pioneering triptych Three Lives portrays the lives of three working-class women in the fictional American town of Bridgepoint (Baltimore). A progenitor of the 'stream of consciousness' technique later adopted by Joyce and Woolf, Stein takes us into the minds of three distinct women, who are each trapped in their societal positions. 'The Good Anna' follows a stern but kind German immigrant, 'Melanctha' the tragic life of an African-American woman of the same name, and 'The Gentle Lena' a dreamy and unopinionated servant whose passiveness becomes her undoing. The non-linear narratives, with their syntactical repetition and de-emphasis on plot, were unique for their time and owed much to the author's friendships with the artists Cézanne, Picasso and Matisse.
