Title: Guiding Lights: The Extraordinary Lives of Lighthouse Women

Author: Shona Riddell

Narrator: Madeleine Lynch

Format: Unabridged

Length: 05:43:46

Language: English

Release date: 12-06-20

Publisher: Findaway Voices

Genres: History, Biography & Memoir, World, Women

Summary:

Women have a long history of keeping the lights burning, from tending ancient altar flames or bonfires to modern-day lighthouse keeping. Yet most of their stories are little-known. Guiding Lights includes true stories from around the world, chronicling the lives of the extraordinary women who mind the worlds storm-battered towers.

From Hannah Sutton and her partner Grant, the two caretakers living alone on Tasmanias wild Maatsuyker Island, to Karen Zacharuk, the keeper in charge of Cape Beale on Canadas Vancouver Island, where bears, cougars and wolves roam, the lives of lighthouse women are not for the faint of heart. Hear accounts spanning the history of lighthouse keeping, from the dramatic torching of Puysegur Point, one of NZs most inhospitable lighthouses; haunted lighthouses across the US and their tragic tales; lighthouse accidents and emergencies around the world; and two of the worlds most legendary lighthouse women: Ida Lewis (US) and Grace Darling (UK), who risked their lives to save others.

The book also explores our dual perception of lighthouses: are they comforting and romantic beacons symbolising hope and trust, or storm-lashed and forbidding towers with echoes of lonely, mad keepers? Whatever our perception, stories of womens courage and dedication in minding the lights then and now continue to capture our imagination and inspire.

Title: Fishers of Men - The Gripping True Story of a British Undercover Agent in Northern Ireland

Author: Rob Lewis

Narrator: Peter Noble

Format: Unabridged

Length: 08:17:12

Language: English

Release date: 12-03-20

Publisher: Bonnier Publishing Audio

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Non-Fiction, True Crime, Mystery, Thriller & Horror, Military

Summary:

Fishers of Men is the true account of secret operations in Northern Ireland carried out by the British Army's most clandestine unit. It tells the unique story, through Rob Lewis's own extraordinary experiences, of an essential instrument in the fight against terrorism, that of covert intelligence gathering. The men and women who work in this field are a special breed who undertake hazardous risks with unflinching tenacity and professionalism - the price of negligence is high, and the need for secrecy must be preserved even at the expense of personal relationships.

The sheer determination and single-mindedness required to achieve selection to this secret world is graphically described, as well as how, against seemingly impossible odds, the operators of the FRU managed to persuade terrorists and their close associates to turn informer. The methods the unit used to target, recruit and handle their contacts, how they protected their informants, and the terrifying life their agents led are all told by an agent handler, using many of his cases to illustrate the sharpness, intelligence (and sense of humour) essential to the job.

Fishers of Men fills a gap in the available information about the secret war against terrorism in Northern Ireland. It is a gap that has so far remained largely unexplored - until Rob Lewis's informative and explosive book.

Release date: 11-25-20

Publisher: Naxos Audiobooks

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Classics

Summary:

Tobias Smollett, in his creation of the Scot Roderick Random, exposes the sheer incompetence and injustice of the Royal Navy, as well as the snobbery and hypocrisy prevalent in English middle-class society at the time. Set in the mid-18th century, this picaresque novel follows the life and adventures of Roderick, the eponymous hero who has been shunned by his gentleman father's family on the basis of the lowliness of his mother's family. Expelled from school, Roderick falls back on his natural wit and the support of his maternal uncle. Embarking on a global voyage, hindered by his naivete and with only a few friends to help him, he pursues the rich ladies of the world in order to rise into the high society from which he was rudely ejected. He ends up twice serving on British ships, latterly a warship onto which he is press-ganged. Where will his travels take him?

Title: Odd Women

Author: George Gissing

Narrator: Juliet Stevenson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 16:59:32

Language: English

Release date: 11-25-20

Publisher: Naxos Audiobooks

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Classics

Summary:

'What is more vulgar than the ideal of novelists? In real life, how many men and women fall in love?' So says Rhoda Nunn, George Gissing's formidable heroine. Through a gripping and thought-provoking story, Gissing presents the reality for Victorian women: a society in which marriage is judged to be the only acceptable way forward. His perspective is strikingly sympathetic for its time, and as such the novel has an exhilarating freshness far removed from the contemporary sentimental romantics. The young Monica Madden cries for two days before her marriage to Edmund Widdowson; the ensuing claustrophobia, which opens the door for the more desirable Bevis, contrasts with Rhoda's independence - yet Rhoda's own principles are tested when she falls in love rather by accident... The Odd Women is a remarkable book, ultimately optimistic in its hope for a societal shift that will benefit both men and women alike.
