Publisher's Summary:

Mary Ellen’s father didn’t—exactly—trade her for a house. Marrying the wealthy and handsome Randall Coulson isn’t something she wants to do, but, being an obedient daughter, she agrees to the marriage. Randall Coulson wants Mary Ellen for one reason: to give him sons. He has no desire to form a bond of love or friendship with his young bride. His own heart is already taken. This bittersweet story of love, lies, and family secrets takes place during a turbulent period of American history, one in which the perception of women and their role in society changed during the course of one woman’s life.

Title: De L'Orme

Author: G.P.R. James

Narrator: Lynne Thompson

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 20 hours 32 minutes

Release date: March 30, 2020

Genres: Historical

Publisher's Summary:

G.P.R. James was a historian and novelist, who took well-documented historical events and characters and wove stories around minor or imaginary actors in the events. In this work, set in seventeenth century France, we follow the adventures of young Louis, heir to the Count of Bigorre, after an encounter with the vindictive Marquis de Saint Brie forces him into exile. The tale wends its way inexorably towards the Battle of Marfee in the 30 years War and the death of the Count of Soissons in a failed coup against the much hated minister, Cardinal de Richelieu. Young love, a brush with the law, card sharks, a deadly avalanche-- life is definitely interesting for the young adventurer.

Length: 15 hours 31 minutes

Release date: March 26, 2020

Genres: Historical

Publisher's Summary:

El mundo está cambiando y nadie podrá impedirlo. Una sociedad se resiste al fin de una época. Una mujer busca su propio destino. Algunas novelas tienen el poder de reflejar la vida en todo su esplendor, trasladarnos a una época prodigiosa, captar el instante preciso en el que todo estaba a punto de cambiar. Esta es una de esas novelas. Micaela es una joven maestra que llega a Comillas, uno de los pueblos más elegantes de la costa cántabra, en el verano de 1883. Allí conoce a Héctor Balboa, un indiano que acaba de regresar de Cuba tras amasar una gran fortuna y está construyendo una escuela para los hijos -y no las hijas- de los aldeanos. Micaela empieza entonces su batalla para que también las niñas puedan recibir la educación que merecen y necesitan, al tiempo que entre ella y Héctor va surgiendo una atracción capaz de derribar todas las barreras. Ambientada a finales del siglo XIX, en un momento histórico decisivo y lleno de contrastes, Un destino propio nos habla de aquellas primeras mujeres valientes que se atrevieron a alzar la voz contra una sociedad que se negaba a escucharlas.

Title: Siddhartha: A Novel

Author: Herman Hesse

Narrator: Bert Decoy

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 4 hours 6 minutes

Release date: February 25, 2020

Genres: Historical

Publisher's Summary:

Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read What is the purpose of life? Is religion the answer? How, in a world beset with misery and conflict, can we help to find inner peace? Siddhartha helped inspire the legions of counter-cultural “hippies” and other refuseniks who challenged the Western capitalist order in the 1960s and 1970s. Brought to you here in a new translation by William Aaltonen, Siddhatha is as relevant now as it was on publication. The tale follows a wealthy son of a Brahmin, Siddhatha, as he explores the extremes of human existence: first through religion, then via harsh self-denial, then by plunging headlong into the hedonism of sensual love, wealth, gambling, and power. At the very last, he finds a way to temper the pain of human existence, to transcend the self, and reach spiritual resolution. Herman Hesse’s profound and absorbing novella will help you find serenity and spiritual meaning in a difficult world.

Title: The Body outside the Kremlin: A Novel

Author: James L. May

Narrator: Daniel Gamburg

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 15 hours 48 minutes

Release date: January 21, 2020

Genres: Historical

Publisher's Summary:

Solovetsky occupies the island site of a former monastery in the White Sea. Here, hundreds of miles from civilization, and with a skeleton crew of secret-policemen in charge, some prisoners are consigned to all kinds of forced labor and others sit at comfortable desks in administrative or cultural positions. With the brutal winter fast approaching, Tolya Bogomolov, a young mathematician serving a three-year sentence, hopes an acquaintance he’s been cultivating will lead to a less brutal work assignment, maybe even a little more bread in his ration. Knowing Gennady Antonov, who holds a privileged position restoring the monks’ seized collection of icons, ought to improve Tolya’s odds of reassignment. But when Antonov’s body is discovered floating frozen in the bay, their connection turns dangerous. At first the authorities question Tolya, but then he’s mystified when they assign him to assist the elderly detective investigating the case—but better to find the real killer than have the murder pinned on him. Digging into Antonov’s secrets turns up strange expropriations of the museum’s icons, rumors of an escape conspiracy among White Army officers, and an illicit affair with a female prisoner who won’t tell all she knows. To avoid becoming the murderer’s next victim, Tolya must defy Solovetsky’s unforgiving regime and make ruthless use of his fellow prisoners. Putting his story to paper at last means reckoning the true cost of his survival.
