Résumé de l'éditeur:

"En descendant de l'avion à Lagos, j'ai eu l'impression d'avoir cessé d'être noire."

Ifemelu quitte le Nigeria pour aller faire ses études à Philadelphie. Jeune et inexpérimentée, elle laisse derrière elle son grand amour, Obinze, éternel admirateur de l'Amérique qui compte bien la rejoindre. Mais comment rester soi lorsqu'on change de continent, lorsque soudainement la couleur de votre peau prend un sens et une importance que vous ne lui aviez jamais donnés ?

Pendant quinze ans, Ifemelu tentera de trouver sa place aux États-Unis, un pays profondément marqué par le racisme et la discrimination. De défaites en réussites, elle trace son chemin, pour finir par revenir sur ses pas, jusque chez elle, au Nigeria. À la fois drôle et grave, doux mélange de lumière et d'ombre, Americanah est une magnifique histoire d'amour, de soi d'abord, mais également des autres, ou d'un autre. De son ton irrévérencieux, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie fait valser le politiquement correct et les clichés sur la race ou le statut d'immigrant, et parcourt trois continents d'un pas vif et puissant.

Finalista Premio Planeta 2015

Cuando Chris muere en un accidente de coche sospechosamente lejos de donde debía estar, la vida de su mujer, Alice, con una niña de seis años y otra en camino, se desmorona.

Incapaz de asumir la pérdida y con el temor de que tal vez su relación perfecta haya sido una mentira, se obsesiona con descubrir de dónde venía Chris y qué secreto escondía. Reconstruye el último viaje de su marido con la ayuda de las cámaras de seguridad de los establecimientos por donde este había pasado, hasta llegar al epicentro del misterio: Robin Island, en Cape Cod, Massachusetts, una pequeña y, solo en apariencia, apacible isla que modifi cará profundamente a Alice mientras busca respuesta a la pregunta: ¿Qué hacía Chris en la isla?

La isla de Alice oscila entre el thriller y el viaje emocional. Una historia de superación y una peripecia absorbente y cautivadora.

Publisher's Summary:

Carson Bradley is the CEO of Bradley Pharmaceutical Corporation, a powerful and influential multi-billion dollar drug empire. His wealth spans beyond anyone's imagination, but is useless to his lonely soul, which has been dormant since the death of his first love to cancer. Every day he strives for the sake of his research because he's determined to eradicate that vile disease forever.

Lillian Ly is a young, humble medical student whose compassion for people is boundless. Being raised poor by a single parent, she matured quickly and respects the sacrifices her mother has made for her. Lillian's determination leads her down a stringent five-year path with no room for love.

When a tropical storm forces their paths to cross at an unlikely place thousands of miles away from home, they both realize love isn't a matter of choice or determination - love is powerful and irrepressible, especially between two kind-hearted people with a common interest in healing the world.

Carson is familiar with desolation - 15 years to be exact. With Lillian by his side, he will never return to that dark place again - even if it means dragging her through his ugly past and into his dangerous world of pharmaceutical rivalries. Lillian's uncomplicated life will soon be a distant memory as she follows her heart to be with the only man she's ever loved. Together, they will endure any obstacle to hold on to their forever.

Contains mature themes.

Fantstic Book....Following in the foot steps of Christian Grey and Gideon Cross!

This book caught my eye because of the beautiful cover, it has great great significant in the story. I like it when book covers actually match the story. I loved Lilly the minute I got a description of her. She looks exactly like my daughter with the mixed of nationalities. I think it is wonder that the author has chosen to write a character like that. She is strong and independent, just love her. Carson is a strong alpha male. This story is like the other two series I mentioned in the way that a young innocent girl meets a rich billionaire playboy. The meat go the story however is not the same. There are no abuse in Lilly or Carson's life when they were younger. They are just both trying protect themselves from being emotionally hurt, while achieving the life goals.

Love this book and can't wait for the conclusion in the second book.

CAPTIVATING

Making an ordinary to an extraordinary! It might seem like a regular love story but there is something that draw you to keep on reading and you just cannot stop. I read it nonstop the whole day & night! To some, the beginning might be slow but I found that part intriguing and it was the one that lured me, activated my curiosity on how the 2 protagonist lives will get intertwined. I found that part helpful as to have a better understanding of their past and now dealing the present as their path intersect with each other. The story in itself was a total package. Not only an emotional rollercoaster but it deals with the rich & the poor, the west & the east, the good & the evil, suspense, love of family, friendship, faith, love at first sight, destiny and the love! Their attraction is so palpable. Their love for each other makes you fuzzy, warm & hot! I just love them to death. Carson & Lilly are one good creation. Lil is a beautiful person inside and out.

Publisher's Summary:

Writer Halley Brennan couldn't dream up a better love story than her own. Married for eleven years, she and her husband, Adam, are still living their happily ever after. They both know what they want - and don't want - for their life together. And that includes being child-free. But when one of them has a change of heart about wanting a baby, it brings their marriage and life plans into harsher focus.

Devastated that this bombshell might destroy their relationship, Halley finds comfort in her closest friends: Nina, who's finally pregnant after years of trying; her sister, Charlotte, an overwhelmed mother of three; and Marian, a successful businesswoman who regrets letting go of her one true love.

Now, with their guidance and support, Halley begins a painful journey of self-discovery. As she searches her heart to make a life-changing decision for both herself and Adam, she realizes that someone is bound to get hurt. Will their perfect love be too great a sacrifice for everything her heart wants?

Members Reviews:

A great read

Everything the Heart Wants was a great read. I don't think I have ever read a book with a main character that was so me in this way. We are first introduced to our main character, Halley, when she is telling us a bit of her history. How she has never wanted kids, never, how she would bring that up on the first date with guys she dated to make sure that that was okay with them before things get serious. Because if they really want kids it wouldn't work out. Better to find that out before you fall in love and start planning a future and realize you both want different things. Because kids? They are a big deal. There is not an easy way to compromise with kids. If you are not on the same page then one person must put aside their wants for the other. Which could be not so good in the long run depending on the situation/relationship/people involved. And that is me. I am so Halley in this way. I have never wanted to have kids. I brought it up right away with anyone I dated because it is a big deal. It really is a deal breaker for some people. And I got lucky to find my husband who is totally on board with it just being us. We love our life as it is. I love my friend's kids, I am super happy for them that they have the family that they want and it is great. I just don't want that for myself. So I got Halley. Everything she said about how she met her husband and how her life worked out up until this point I was just like yes! Exactly! Yes! It was pretty awesome because like I said I have never encountered a character like that in one of my books. It was refreshing to read. Something different.

Only what happens when one person in the relationship changes their mind? What happens when you are still super in love, but one person now wants a baby? When one person goes back on that life of no kids that was agreed upon? Man, this was a rough one. And it was a bit...intense for me to read. Nerve-wracking and really shook me up. I will be honest it made me a little paranoid that maybe my husband would change his mind and then what would I do? Because I am still firmly in the no kids boat. As I was reading I was afraid to go on, but couldn't put it down at the same time. I didn't want to see what would happen because as I said kids are a big deal.

Title: Sad Girls

Subtitle: A Novel

Author: Lang Leav

Narrator: Shiromi Arserio

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 14 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-31-17

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Sad Girls is the much-anticipated debut novel from internationally best-selling author Lang Leav. A beautifully written and emotionally charged coming-of-age story, where young love, dark secrets, and tragedy collide.

School is almost out for Audrey, but the panic attacks are just beginning. Because Audrey told a lie and now her classmate, Ana, is dead. Just as her world begins to spin out of control, Audrey meets the enigmatic Rad - the boy who could turn it all around. But will their ill-timed romance drive her closer to the edge?

Members Reviews:

Sad Girl is a depressingly sad audiobook.

Sad Girls by Lang Leav is appropriately titled. Dont listen to this audiobook without first seeing your doctor, and then only if your doctor will prescribe a strong prophylactic antidepressant. Otherwise you might decide to end it all before finishing this book. The book is enshrouded in a doleful cloud of melancholia. This young author, she is 34 if my web search is correct, and young is a relative term, appears to lack a solid moral compass. She also lacks a basic understanding of human nature and human interactions. She misunderstands people, profoundly. So her characters are difficult to develop an attachment to. They are difficult to like. When she kills one off, it is difficult to regret their loss. If she is the phenomenal best-selling author my web-search says she is, then I worry about our lost generation of twenty-somethings who are reading this drivel, living in their parents basements, still playing video games, and reading trash romance novellas. They really need to come out into the sunshine, interact with real people in the real world, and give up smoking dope. Instead I think they, too often, shrink from the light, remaining alone, in a self-imposed solitary confinement. The light hurts their eyes. Interacting with real people is too difficult. But I have derived some benefit from the long and unpleasant experience of reading this tiresome novel. It has given me much to think about as I deal, on a daily basis, with this lost generation of snowflakes who yearn to live in a socialist utopia, free from work and worry. I hope, if the author reads this unkind review, she will use it to seek a better moral compass. I suggest seeking a relationship with Jesus Christ, who is Love incarnate, the Word of God made flesh. She should also seek to better understand people, so that human nature will be more accurately reflected in the characters she creates in her future novels. Fame and fortune alone do not bring happiness or instill the sense of purpose that humans need more than happiness. A kind review is not what Lang Leav needs. She may also need to be on Prozac, or maybe she just needs more aerobic exercise. Daily exercise can often sufficiently counter even significant depression, doom and gloom. That being said, I do think this young author has potential if she can overcome her inexperience with life and the thick fog of depression that permeates this novel. She has a unique and artful dexterity in her use of the English language, Australian though it may be.

Riepilogo Editore:

Ambientato a Roma dal 1941 al 1947, il romanzo è un grande affresco corale che racconta gli orrori della guerra e della storia, "questo scandalo che dura da duemila anni". Al centro, le disgraziate vicende della maestrina Iduzza Ramundo, vedova mite e rassegnata, e del figlio Useppe, pischelletto dai grandi occhi azzurri spalancati sul mondo.

Pubblicato nel 1974, ottenne un enorme successo e infiammò violente polemiche, diventando immediatamente un caso politico e letterario. Dal romanzo è tratto il film omonimo, diretto da Luigi Comencini e interpretato da Claudia Cardinale.

Recensioni dei membri:

Linguaggio fresco, contenuto polverosissimo

A volte ho dovuto interrompere lascolto per il susseguirsi delle miserie descritte nel romanzo. Serio, drammatico, tragico tutto il libro. In realtà non succede niente di visceralmente catastrofico. Vediamo: una maestra profondamente balorda, di mente mal cresciuta e lenta sopravvive la seconda guerra mondiale a Roma, insieme al suo pupo bastarduccio che due anni dopo, dovuto a certi effetti post-traumatici degli avvenimenti, muore durante un attacco epilettico. Non erano trasportati come tutti gli altri giudei della capitale, non erano messi dentro a camere a gas, pativano la fame sì, ma niente orrendo. Eppure...

lorrendo per me in tutta quella faccenda sorge dallottusità della madre, la quale non è capace per un solo istante di stimulare il suo bambino. Useppe, nato precoce e promettente, alla fin fine diventa un bimbo segregato, tardo, senza informazioni proprie sul mondo intorno a lui. La madre non gli parla, non gli racconta e canta sempre la medesima canzone e Useppe è costretto varie volte a star solo in una camera chiusa a chiave senza uno straccio o anima viva con cui giocare. La gente intorno a loro è troppo indaffarata a badarci, ognuno gli caccia via, rimane dunque la madre sempliciotta che no nutre e basta. Useppe muore non per ragioni sanitari, egli muore per via dellindifferenza generale e mancanza di stimoli mentali. Dico sul serio, La Storia mi fece maggiore effetti che un qualsiasi romanzo di orrore.

Daltro canto il libro ormai perse ogni rapporto con la realtà. Allepoca forse forse destava polemiche ma oggigiorno è fuori stagione. Un redattore del 2017 taglierebbe a titolo giusto due terzi del testo. Sì, Elsa Morante scrive bellissima, ma il romanzo è stracolmo di descrizioni ed idee irrelevanti al lettore di oggi. Io stesso dovevo saltare alcuni capitoli dove il tossicomane Davide parla per quasi cento pagine sugli orrori della guerra e su certi sbagli storici. Presso Morante è tutto ingombrante, troppo, abbundante, interi paragrafi o capitoli a descrivere visioni e sogni, relazioni famigliari e andirivieni per strade in rovina: ma con certi brani memorabilissimi. La psicologia dei personaggi non regge affatto, quel che rimane però è lempatia immensa della Morante per i bambini.

Invece delLa Storia il romanzo doveva intitolarsi magari Ida ed Useppe o Roma città zombi, perché cè solo lambizione del titolo e manca un resoconto storico belle proprio. Ma poniamo che anche questo serve come unallegoria.

La narrazione della signora Forte è eccessionale. Ella canta, grida, sussurra e ride con trasporto, offrendo colori a un libro alquanto debole.

Publisher's Summary:

Note: This is an unofficial summary and analysis of The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. This summary and analysis is not endorsed by or affiliated with Margaret Atwood.

Here's a free excerpt from the book:

The narrator of the book is an unnamed woman throughout the length of the novel. In the start of the book, the narrator is kept inside a high school's gymnasium (The Rachel and Leah Center, informally known as The Red Center) and several other females are also there. Aunt Elizabeth and Aunt Sara serve as guards and discipline them. While these two utilize cattle prods to intimidate, other guards possess guns. The women have to stay in the gym except for the walks they are allowed to take twice a day. The school's field is shielded by barbed wire and male guards known as Angels.

The women are forbidden from talking among themselves and exchange names via lip-reading. Subsequently, the narrator is inside a room that is white and scarcely furnished. The room does not contain anything that can be utilized as a weapon. As she hears a bell, the narrator changes into red attire engulfing her entire frame. A shade covers her face. She descends the stairs with her shopping basket. The narrator enters the kitchen and receives some tokens from Rita, the cook. Rita is a 'Martha' and dressed in green. The name of the cleaner is Cora. The narrator wants to have conversations with the two like they do with each other but the Marthas are not supposed to have conversations with her kind. She remembers Luke. Rita orders the narrator to go to the market.

Members Reviews:

Minimalist treatment at best.

Just wanted an idea of what it was about and it barely supplied that. I think it was a waste of money.

The Handmaid's Tale

I haven't finised reading the book yet but it is really the worse nightmare a modern woman could live through. All the progress and rights women have wored for so hard, and won taken away from her, not allowed to read write, to vote, have a job, those who can bear children can not raise them. The only privelege is male priveledge, men onlu have rights, everything is decided for the women by a few rich old men. Who are the only ones who can have sex with the hand maidens. It is horrible and scary. What's worse it is possible.

A scary future, an easy read.

After hearing about the show and this boon I was interested in reading it , especially as everyone was talking about it. Easysummaries made it possible to read the book and talk about it without taking all that time. The book is a scary look into a bleak future for women. Easysummaries kept the main vibe of the world in its summary. I was able ti learn all the names and important parts. Hopefully this future never comes to pass.

Very Useful

I used this as a supplemental guide for my book club. It was orderly, concise and helpful to me as I prepared my presentation for my club.

Thanks

I have not read the book or watched the show. I wanted to know what the book was about. Now I know.

Title: The Scoreless Thai

Subtitle: An Evan Tanner Novel

Author: Lawrence Block

Narrator: Theo Holland

Format: Unabridged

Release date: 10-03-17

Publisher: Lawrence Block

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Presenting Evan Tanner - the first series character created by Lawrence Block, best-selling author of A Walk Among the Tombstones....

Ever since a shred of shrapnel did a number on his brain's sleep center, Even Tanner has been awake 24/7. This gives him more time than your average underachiever. Time to learn the world's languages (he's fluent in Basque, but has trouble with Chinese). Time to embrace the world's lost causes and irredentist movements (The Flat Earth Society, the League for the Restoration of Cilician Armenia, the Society of the Left Hand). Time to write term papers theses for students with more money than knowledge. And, most important, time to do his dreaming while he's wide awake.

When his girlfriend, T'pani "Tuppence" Ngawa, disappears on a jazz tour of Thailand, Tanner flies to Bangkok, slips his CIA escort, and rushes to the rescue-only to wind up caged by bandits, who plan to behead him at daybreak. He enlists a young and sexually inexperienced Thai, Dhang, with the promise that he'll get him laid. Their escape route ultimately leads to North Vietnam-and, eventually, into the DMZ. Oh, you don't really expect a summary of a Tanner adventure to make sense, do you? It's a wild ride, partly by bullock cart, and no one but Tanner could bring it off....

Members Reviews:

What a man won't do for a pretty girl.

Another rollicking adventure for Evan Tanner! Well plotted, with characters you care about.

Theo Holland once again does an excellent job with the various accents and voices.

I look forward to the next Evan Tanner adventure voiced by Theo Holland.

I couldn't listen to it

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

A decent reader

Has The Scoreless Thai put you off other books in this genre?

No, but I wish Audible would find some better readers

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Too much, which is a pity because I like the author, as you know. The same applied, only less so, with the later Bernie Rodenbar books. The original reader was great. The more recent one was not. Why change a winning formula?

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Scoreless Thai?

Don't know, didn't get that far

Any additional comments?

I wouldn't mind an exchange

Publisher's Summary:

Israel Ingham's life has never been easy. He grew up in a house devoid of love and warmth. Nothing he ever did was good enough. The fact that Israel is gay just added to the long list of his father's disappointments.

Then a letter from Eastport Children's Hospital changes everything.

A discovery is made, one of gross human error. Twenty-six years ago, two baby boys were switched at birth and sent home with the wrong families.

Sam, Israel's best friend, has been his only source of love and support. With Sam beside him every step of the way, Israel decides to meet his birth mother and her son, the man who lived the life Israel should have.

Israel and Sam become closer than ever, amidst the tumultuous emotions of meeting his birth family, and Sam finds himself questioning his feelings toward his best friend. As Israel embraces new possibilities, he needs to dissect his painful relationship with his parents in order to salvage what's left. Because sometimes it takes proof you're not actually family to become one.

Contains mature themes.

Outstanding Tearjerker from the Land of Oz

Aussies talk funny and they drink waaaay too much, but you will need a box of Kleenex to get through this one. Very emotional ride well worth the ride, but with a happy ending (Thank God!).

THE BEST!

I belly laughed, I cried, was turned on, was truly touched, and felt the full gamut of emotions throughout this book! This is the story that would translate well onto the big screen, truly the story every romantic needs to read/listen to! The writing is SO GOOD! The small expressions, the detail, and the word choice... SO GOOD! Worth every second of your time!

Wow

Didnt want to stop hearing.

Moving!!! Well written, well read, good story. It hit many nerves...

Not what it seams more about sexuality than switching

Should warn it is very explicit about homosexuality than family I fact hardly about switching at all

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

In this intense, multilayered domestic drama, two families become entangled in a web of lies, secrets, and betrayal that results in an act of violence so shocking their love may not survive.

On the outside, Lily Isley's life seems perfect: a wealthy husband, a ritzy gated community in Dallas, and a handsome son, AJ - a decorated marine about to be married to his love, Shea. But when a bridesmaid is murdered in AJ's apartment and he can't be found, Lily's world collapses and a long-held family secret is at risk of exposure.

Dru Gallagher's life took a different course. After her ex-husband, suffering from post-traumatic stress, threatened her and her daughter, Shea, with a shotgun, Dru was forced to leave her marriage and forge ahead as a working-class single mom. Now, the anger she sees in war veteran AJ's eyes is heartbreakingly familiar - and makes Dru deeply afraid for her daughter's safety...especially after Shea's best friend and maid of honor is found dead.

With a killer on the loose and time running out, Lily and Dru, two very different women, unite in a single goal: to save their precious children from scandal, even from death. But will the mothers' protection be enough, or will the fateful secret they expose - and the truth it reveals - destroy every hope of love?

Members Reviews:

Alright story

These two mothers did not work together to save their children, as the details state. I guessed the "bad guy" the moment he was introduced to the story. The character, Edward, was of no consequence to the story at all. The notion that real-life adults keep these kind of secrets is nonsense...it was like a mediocre Hallmark made for tv movie. But if you like that sort of thing, then this book is for you.

Storyline good but narration terrible

I liked the storyline but the narration was terrible. Reminded of guy who narrated Michael Bennet books by Patterson.....a lack of emotion when emotion was needed!

the truth

What disappointed you about The Truth We Bury?

Mostly the narrator. the dialog was very corny. Seems more like a young adult book

What could Barbara Taylor Sissel have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

improve dialog and ge another narrator

What didnt you like about Donna Postels performance?

It was over done. She had too much intensity when it wasn't needed. Just made it sound silly.

You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

So far I haven't found any

Lots of twists and turns!

I didn't see who was behind the killings until they were exposed. The characters in the story were great, you either loved them or hated them; which is awesome when they can evoke that kind of emotion.
