Publisher's Summary:

Peace has finally returned to the tiny hamlet of Clayton County in the Florida Panhandle. But for how long?

Two years ago, the town of Clayton and the county of the same name were under the universal media microscope. A 25-year-old cold-case murder trial with an Alzheimer's patient, Jacob Jeebs, as the key witness, broke all legal boundaries and the world was watching.

Now, a major award-winning movie director and A-list actors are coming to town to make a film about the trial and the man whose testimony shook the world. What could possibly go wrong?

The presidential election is in full swing and Florida is a major player in the process. The Russians have invaded cyberspace and are doing their best to swing the election in their favor.

Members Reviews:

The same characters continue to entertain, inform and share their eventful lives with the readers . Highly recommend.

Another great read that kept me interested, laughing and enjoying the same characters as in the two previous books in this series. A new surprise character adds to the depth and to the importance of the main topic being touched upon in this book.

Best-selling author Rachael Johns returns with a poignant, heartwarming story of a woman who wants nothing else than to be a mum, and one who never wanted to be a mother.

Mother: female parent of a child

Mum: the woman who nurtures, raises and loves a child

Radio host Harper Drummond lives for her career. Every day she meets fascinating people doing extraordinary things, but has begun to wonder whether there could be something more for her out there. She's financially secure, happily married to Samuel and has a great group of friends - what more could she want? It's only when she interviews one special couple that she starts to think about whether she could make a different kind of contribution.

Claire and Jasper Lombard are passionate about their thriving hot air balloon business and know they're lucky to find such joy in their work and in each other. But while Jasper has accepted that he will never be a father, Claire has found it hard to come to terms with her infertility. She doesn't want Jasper to regret choosing her over a child in the years to come. Is there a way to give themselves a real chance at being a happy family? Can they find someone who will give them the greatest gift? Or will it come at a greater cost?

The poignant, heartwarming story of two women: one who wants nothing else than to be a mum, and one who never wanted to be a mother, from the best-selling, ABIA award-winning author of The Patterson Girls.

Members Reviews:

A love story of a different sort

The opening chapters of The Greatest Gift had me wondering a bit where the story was going. Jumping back and forth between two time periods, and focusing on a different set of characters in each, it took a while before it became clear how those two disparate stories would intersect.

Once the mist started to part at around chapter five, I realized I was hooked.

To my mind, The Greatest Gift by Rachael Johns is very much that. Two completely separate stories with three or perhaps four central characters, that just happen to intersect in a way that irrevocably changes the course of each of those central character's lives in ways they never could have imagined.

Focusing heavily on the way childhood experiences can mold and shape our approaches and attitudes to things, this book is very much centered around the questions of motherhood that I suspect are endemic to almost all women. Do I want to become a mother? Would I be any good at it? Am I even capable of bearing a child?

Different approaches and answers to each of these questions are touched upon by the wide variety of friends and family that interact with the primary characters as the story unfolds, and just when you think things are starting to make sense, the major plot twist in the story forces each of these questions back under the microscope to be re-examined under a new paradigm.

It was at that point that this story really took hold of my heart. What had been interesting and compelling reading, suddenly became a riveting, can't-even-imagine-putting-it-down experience as the various characters struggled to find new answers in the brave new world left in the wake of the upheaval that rocked their collective worlds.

I've always thought that the best books get you thinking.

Categorías: Fiction, Contemporary

Resumen del editor:

Con ecos de la novela Grandes esperanzas de Charles Dickens y de películas como Gloria de John Cassavetes y El chico de Charles Chaplin, Los niños es una novela inquietante y profundamente original, todo un hallazgo literario de una de las voces más interesantes del panorama de la literatura latinoamericana actual.

Laura Romero, antigua locutora de comerciales de muebles y del servicio telefónico que da la hora y rentista de la mina de sal familiar, vive con su galgo Brus y es asidua de los supermercados. A la casa de esta mujer solitaria llega, una noche, un niño de seis años llamado Fidel. No se sabe de dónde viene ni quién es, habla siempre misteriosamente y parece no estar familiarizado con los usos del mundo. Mientras trata de asignarle significados a su presencia, Laura lo pierde y lo recobra intermitentemente, pasando por varios estadios en los que encuentra personajes y situaciones que todos conocemos: el vendedor de mercancías en un bus, el lenguaje burocrático del hogar de paso, la señora parlanchina.

A través de la historia central de una pareja insólita - la de un niño y una mujer que no es ni pretende ser su madre - , y en un tono de fábula clásica, y con visos de terror psicológico, Los niños explora los límites del aislamiento y la intimidad y hace una reflexión, en ocasiones humorística, sobre la compasión, la maternidad, la hospitalidad, el abandono, y la infancia.

Avis des membres:

great performers hampered by a far-fetched story

The book starts out with promise and the reader is drawn in by what appears to be a tragedy but later turns out to be an improbable silly plot of a woman faking her death for gain.

"The first book about Diana that presents her as a real woman." (Erica Jong)

Members Reviews:

Seriously creepy

I want my money back. This book disturbed me greatly. It was taking reality and adding Diana into the mix but not really. I am very sorry for purchasing this piece of trash.

Amazing

Loved the book and instead re-reading it I thought I'd listen instead, omg, this was AMAZING! So well done, it felt like I was experiencing the book for the first time. I have to admit, I sat in my car in the parking lot a few times just to finish the chapter. It felt like she was right next to me, speaking to ME. Yes I am now an Imagining Diana groupie but I haven't been this excited since I used to count the minutes to Sunday night first for Sex in the City then for Mad Men.

Dans ce recueil comme un clin d'œil à Hemingway, des hommes cherchent des femmes qui les abandonnent ou qui sont sur le point de le faire. Musique, solitude, rêve et mélancolie, le maître au sommet de son art.

Eight-year-old Hariet, known to all as Ari, is dispatched to Cape Breton and her aunt Mary, who offers an unexpected refuge to Ari and her steadfast companion, Jasper, an imaginary seahorse.

"Tucker's voice is unique and powerful. She is certainly a writer to watch." (Michelle Berry, author of Interference)

Members Reviews:

Reading this book is like Dancing in Stardust

This book is about a girl growing up under dreadful circumstances. If this child's circumstances where all that there was to the book, it would be depressing. However the language with which it is written is so beautiful and poetic that the awful is made less awful . I don't think I have ever read anything that I became so involved with the language . I enjoyed every minute of reading this book and felt alone once it was over. I can do nothing more than recommend this book very very highly to anyone who wants to read the beautiful and poetic story of a sad life.

Love, Hate, Love...

The Clay Girl is a work of sculpted art! This novel winds it way through love, disfunction, beautiful art, loss of love, sorrow, survival, and overcoming evil.

Ari is a beautiful soul who is full of goodness and her aunties are amazing artists who help Ari escape a tragic upbringing. Ari has a host of angels (and a seahorse) she can depend on to escape to a life of creativity, simplicity, honest relationships and true happiness.

Verbal and sexual abuse is rampant in our world and no person should have to endure what this family did...especially the children. Beautiful writing and goodness conquers evil.

The story is very good and the characters are those that you want in ...

READ THIS BOOK. The story is very good and the characters are those that you want in your life, But the writing,,,the writing will bring you to your knees. It can only be described as spectacular.

Magically poetic prose.

This book reads like poetry. The subject is tragic but the titular character tells the story carefully revealing details with perfect timing and artistic style. My book club will love this one.

Captivating

Our local newspaper recommended this book and it was delightful would highly recommend.

Publisher's Summary:

At 400 pounds, Billy Brennan can always count on food. From his earliest memories, he has loved food's colors, textures, and tastes. The way flavors go off in his mouth. How food keeps his mind still and his bad feelings quiet. Food has always made everything better, until the day Billy's beloved son, Michael, takes his own life.

In Michael's memory, Billy determines to make a difference and undertakes a public weight-loss campaign to raise money for suicide prevention - his first step in an ambitious plan to save himself and others. However, Billy's dramatic crusade appalls his family, who simply want to get on with their lives. Despite his crushing detractors, Billy garners welcome allies: his community, a coworker who lost his father to suicide, and a filmmaker with his own dubious agenda, as well as a secret miniature kingdom that Billy populates with the subquality dolls and soldiers he rescues from disposal at the local toy factory where he works. But it is only if Billy can confront the truth of his pain and suffering and the brokenness around him that he and others will see the change they need.

Set in rural contemporary Ireland, The Weight of Him is an unforgettable, bighearted novel about loss and reliance that moves from tragedy to recrimination to what can be achieved when we truly decide to take a stand.

Members Reviews:

Just Wonderful!

A very touching and enlightening story that made me search deep within myself. I highly recommend this story.

Heavy

No pun intended- but this book weighed quite heavily on me. The book handles extremely hard topics very well, but the pacing of the book made me feel like there was an imbalance of rushed moments and moments that dragged on and a bit of strange time jumping. Besides this though, the book was really emotionally powerful.

A very Touching Story.

Where does The Weight of Him rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

I would rank in the 40th percentile. I have listened to so many, that's the only way I know how to rate it.

What other book might you compare The Weight of Him to and why?

No other books I've listened to.

What about Tim Gerard Reynoldss performance did you like?

I believe Tim Gerard Reynolds added a lot to this book. I dont believe it's one I could've stuck with if reading.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I believe it did make me tear up a little. The story is about a son who commits suicide , the family is clueless. The father is determined to make it his fault.

Any additional comments?

The Dad in the book comes up with a unique way to try and increase awareness of suicide among teens especially. Despite ridicule from family and friends he trudges on. It's very endearing how positive his attitude and self restraint make Him very loveable.
