Not what it starts out to be

My wife quite enjoyed this book till in the middle there was a vivid description of the woman's husband engaged in homosexual acts. At this point she stopped reading.

Title: A Week of This

Subtitle: A Novel in Seven Days

Author: Nathan Whitlock

Narrator: Jo Anna Perrin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 55 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-22-12

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Darkly comic and startlingly honest, this novel follows the lives of an extended family over one increasingly desperate week. Manda is a 38-year-old, tough, sarcastic woman who has yet to make peace with the town she was brought to as a teenager after her parents' messy divorce. Her mother is estranged, her father is ill, her brother and stepbrother are emotionally distant and growing restless, and all the while, her tight-lipped and depressed husband is pressing her to have a baby. Full of barbed dialogue and macabre, deadpan descriptions of family dynamics and the awkward social dances performed daily, this novel depicts those who feel permanently out of place.

Editorial Reviews:

The sharp and animated voice of veteran performer, Jo Anna Perrin, puts listeners right into the darkly comic mess that is Manda and her family. A Week of This, from newcomer Nathan Whitlock, is a uniquely plotted novel that follows the sarcastic Manda and her extended family for the course of one week. Full of clever dialogue and witty descriptions, this audiobook is an entertaining and sharply crafted look at the awkward and unavoidable interactions we all have to deal with when it comes to family.

No plot

It was a very disjointed read. There was absolutely no plot and the characters never got anywhere. I kept waiting for a purpose to begin for all the words.

Language: English

Release date: 11-21-12

Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Publisher's Summary:

For Tom, a counsellor struggling to rebuild his emotional life after the breakdown of his marriage, the suburbs are his world. His neighbours in Winter Close are his 'people', a kind of twenty-first century tribe. Tom, however, has a weakness for jumping to dramatic conclusions about his neighbours' relationships with each other and with him. Although he's often wrong, the truth is even more engrossing than his fantasies.

When a freak storm hits Winter Close, more is destroyed than trees and houses. Personal façades are demolished as well, exposing tensions and releasing repressed emotions that draw Tom and all his neighbours into a painful series of confrontations and reassessments.

Members Reviews:

A Novel way of approaching social statistics

Can't help feeling that Mackay's characters in the Close signify a too neat representation of Australia's diverse ethnic, economic and gender diversity a little too accurately. What you rightly expect from this author. Maybe it comes across as a little too contrived.

Entertaining enough

I am fairly new to the "chick lit" genre and was hoping for a lot of comical relief when I bought this book. Although it was entertaining enough, I was not overly entertained and rarely laughed while reading the book. I wouldn't have minded if I had borrowed the book from the library. I would suggest borrowing it rather than buying it.

Enjoyable read

This is the story of Annie, a journalist dealing with ageing parents, flighty sister, cut-throat magazine life and love troubles....a lot packed in to the story, but well written so its an enjoyable read. The characters are well developed, and the ones you are meant to like - you do! Especially enjoyable is the interaction of Annie and her family. Some of the scenes with the parents are very touching and realistic without ever being over the top and cliched.

I would have liked the ending to be a little longer; it seemed to end a bit too sudden and believed the book would have benefited with maybe one more chapter.

Overall, a good and quick read.

Publisher's Summary:

Italy, 1492. Five-year-old Mura is a strange and bewitching child. Daughter to a Nordic mother and Spanish father, she has been tutored in both Arabic learning and the ancient myth cycles of the north. But her widower father has been arrested by the Inquisition, and Mura is sold to a Genoese slaver. In the port of Savona, Mura's androgynous looks and unusual abilities fetch a high price.

She is bought as a house slave for the powerful Medici, arriving in Florence as the city prepares for war against the French. When the family is forced to flee, Mura finds herself gifted to the notorious Tigress of Forli, Countess Caterina Sforza. Beautiful, ruthless and intelligent, the Countess is fascinated by Mura's arcane knowledge. As the Tigress educates her further in the arts of alchemy, potions and poisons, she becomes much more than a lady's maid. Mura becomes a potent weapon in the Machiavellian intrigues of the Renaissance court...
