Title: [Spanish] - Estado del malestar Author: Nina Lykke, Ana Flecha Marco (translator) Narrator: Sara Gómez Alonso Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 32 minutes Release date: September 28, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Galardonada con el Premio Brage, el más importante galardón literario de Noruega, y la novela más vendida en su país en 2019, Estado del malestar ha supuesto la consagración de Nina Lykke como una de las grandes escritoras de su país gracias a la ironía con la que critica el aparente paraíso de los países nórdicos. Estado del malestar es una sátira de la insoportable levedad de la clase media surgida al calor del Estado del bienestar, vista por una mujer privilegiada que vive en uno de los países más ricos del mundo y, sin embargo, se halla siempre al borde de un ataque de nervios. Elin es una doctora muy profesional y competente, pero está cansada de ser buena, de ser una esposa y madre ejemplar, de atender a pacientes que se autodiagnostican en Google y buscan curas a males imaginarios. Bebe casi una botella al día del vino más caro y ve series de televisión, mientras su marido Axel se inscribe en una carrera de esquí tras otra. Hasta que un día, por error, Elin envía una solicitud de amistad a Bjørn, su novio de juventud, poniéndolo todo patas arriba. Acorralada por sus dilemas, Elin abandona su casa y se instala a vivir en su consulta. Sabe que en algún momento tendrá que salir de su madriguera y afrontar la realidad, pero permanece allí en una especie de estado catatónico. Desde una esquina la interpela el esqueleto de plástico Tore, una voz en off mordaz y socarrona que le señala las verdades que no se atreve a reconocer. 'Considerar a Elin como un mero estereotipo de la sociedad de bienestar noruega sería empequeñecer a este personaje rico en matices de cuyo fino humor gozará cualquier lector. Sus reacciones y conflictos resultarán familiares a muchos lectores; sin ir más lejos, su hábito de encadenar capítulos de series con una copa de vino siempre llena en la mano. ¿Será entonces que la Europa del Norte no es tan diferente de la del sur?'—Mercedes Cebrián, El País 'La ingeniosa misantropía de Lykke y su desprecio hacia la época actual son tan corrosivos que me veo empujado a la indignación moral, pero no puedo, me hacen disfrutar demasiado.'—Inger Bentzrud, Dagbladet 'Estado del malestar levanta la alfombra de los siempre perfectos países nórdicos y cuestiona si esa exigencia de ser felices no nos convierte en seres profundamente tristes.'—Eva Cosculluela, Heraldo de Aragón

Title: The Frederick Sisters Are Living the Dream: A Novel Author: Jeannie Zusy Narrator: Gabra Zackman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 30 minutes Release date: September 20, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine meets Early Morning Riser with a dash of Where’d You Go, Bernadette in this “funny and insightful” (Real Simple) novel about one woman whose life is turned upside down when she becomes caregiver to her sister with special needs. Every family has its fault lines, and when Maggie gets a call from the ER in Maryland where her older sister lives, the cracks start to appear. Ginny, her sugar-loving and diabetic older sister with intellectual disabilities, has overdosed on strawberry Jell-O. Maggie knows Ginny really can’t live on her own, so she brings her sister and her occasionally vicious dog to live near her in upstate New York. Their other sister, Betsy, is against the idea but as a professional surfer, she is conveniently thousands of miles away. Thus, Maggie’s life as a caretaker begins. It will take all of her dark humor and patience, already spread thin after a separation, raising two boys, freelancing, an ex who just won’t go away, and starting a dating life, to deal with Ginny’s diapers, sugar addiction, porn habit, and refusal to cooperate. “The Frederick sisters will have you laughing out loud—often through tears—in this roller coaster ride of a novel that explores what it means to be family” (Tracey Lange, New York Times bestselling author).

Gripping' Liane Moriarty ‘A gripping and unflinching narrative that is as heart-wrenching as it is unputdownable’ Karin Slaughter * * * They claim they saw nothing. She knows they’re lying ‘Just let him go.’ Those are words Ky Tran will forever regret. The words she spoke when her parents called to ask if they should let her younger brother Denny out to celebrate his high school graduation with friends. That night, Denny – optimistic, guileless Denny – is brutally murdered inside a busy restaurant in the Sydney suburb of Cabramatta, a refugee enclave facing violent crime, and an indifferent police force. Returning home for the funeral, Ky learns that the police are stumped by her brother’s case. Even though several people were present at Denny’s murder, each bystander claims to have seen nothing, and they are all staying silent. Determined to uncover the truth, Ky tracks down and questions the witnesses herself. But what she learns goes beyond what happened that fateful night. The silence has always been there, threaded through the generations, and Ky begins to expose the complex traumas weighing on those present the night Denny died. As she peels back the layers of the place that shaped her, she must confront more than the reasons her brother is dead. And once those truths have finally been spoken, how can any of them move on? * ‘A shocking, deeply moving and truly special debut … A richly crafted mystery, a story that is both impossible to put down and impossible to forget’ Chris Whitaker, We Begin at the End ‘Poignant and impeccable storytelling’ Oprah Daily

Title: The Marsh Queen Author: Virginia Hartman Narrator: Cassandra Campbell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 22 minutes Release date: September 6, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: For fans of Where the Crawdads Sing, this “marvelous debut” (Alice McDermott, National Book Award–winning author of The Ninth Hour) follows a Washington, DC, artist as she faces her past and the secrets held in the waters of Florida’s lush swamps and wetlands. Loni Murrow is an accomplished bird artist at the Smithsonian who loves her job. But when she receives a call from her younger brother summoning her back home to help their obstinate mother recover after an accident, Loni’s neat, contained life in Washington, DC, is thrown into chaos, and she finds herself exactly where she does not want to be. Going through her mother’s things, Loni uncovers scraps and snippets of a time in her life she would prefer to forget—a childhood marked by her father Boyd’s death by drowning. When Loni comes across a single, cryptic note from a stranger—“There are some things I have to tell you about Boyd’s death”—she begins a dangerous quest to discover the truth, all the while struggling to reconnect with her mother and reconcile with her brother and his wife. To make matters worse, she meets a man whose attractive simple charm threatens to pull her back towards everything she’s worked to escape. Torn between worlds—her professional accomplishments in Washington, and the small town of her childhood—Loni must decide whether to delve beneath the surface into murky half-truths and avenge the past or bury it, once and for all. “Fans of Delia Owens and Lauren Groff will find this a wonderful and absorbing read” (Suzanne Feldman, author of Sisters of the Great War).

Title: Didn't Nobody Give a Shit What Happened to Carlotta Author: James Hannaham Narrator: Flame Monroe, James Hannaham Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 19 minutes Release date: August 30, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 1 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 1 of Total 1 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: In this “dangerously hilarious” novel (Los Angeles Times), a trans woman reenters life on the outside after more than twenty years in a men’s prison, over one consequential Fourth of July weekend—from the author of the PEN/Faulkner Award winner Delicious Foods. Carlotta Mercedes has been misunderstood her entire life. When she was pulled into a robbery gone wrong, she still went by the name she’d grown up with in Fort Greene, Brooklyn—before it gentrified. But not long after her conviction, she took the name Carlotta and began to live as a woman, an embrace of selfhood that prison authorities rejected, keeping Carlotta trapped in an all-male cell block, abused by both inmates and guards, and often placed in solitary. In her fifth appearance before the parole board, Carlotta is at last granted conditional freedom and returns to a much-changed New York City. Over a whirlwind Fourth of July weekend, she struggles to reconcile with the son she left behind, to reunite with a family reluctant to accept her true identity, and to avoid any minor parole infraction that might get her consigned back to lockup. Written with the same astonishing verve of Delicious Foods, which dazzled critics and readers alike, Didn’t Nobody Give a Shit What Happened to Carlotta sweeps the reader through seemingly every street of Brooklyn, much as Joyce’s Ulysses does through Dublin. The novel sings with brio and ambition, delivering a fantastically entertaining read and a cast of unforgettable characters even as it challenges us to confront the glaring injustices of a prison system that continues to punish people long after their time has been served.
