Publisher's Summary:

Set in 19th-century New England, this exquisite novel tests a woman's love against her husband's utopian quest.

Sophy Hedge, the artistic daughter of the town's minister, falls in love with Gideon Birdsall, a driven theology student assisting her father with a Hebrew lexicon. Sophy is drawn to Gideon's intellect, passion, and spiritual nature while Gideon glimpses in her a free soul unbound by convention. Yet Gideon's restlessness after they wed worries Sophy, and she finds his friendship with Leander Solloway, the charismatic new schoolmaster, a cause for anxiety. As the men immerse themselves in Gideon's mystical theories, Sophy translates her fears into secret paintings.

When Sophy becomes pregnant, Gideon and Leander construct a faux Eden in a greenhouse as part of a daring experiment to discover the language of paradise - the tongue Adam spoke when he named the creatures of the Earth. Sophy must decide whether to live and paint in the world her husband has made or escape to save her child and herself.

Addressing the timeless issues of faith, art, and the elusive dream of perfection, Barbara Klein Moss has captured the fragility of human longing.

Stunning and affecting

Here, for those who love to enter and inhabit rich fictional worlds, is one of stunning beauty. Barbara Klein Moss takes us back to agrarian nineteenth-century New England, where, in distant Cambridge, Ralph Waldo Emerson is stirring up controversy with his theories of transcendentalism, and at home, Sophia Hedge, daughter of a scholar-clergyman, is passionately painting inexpert but vivid landscapes. Into her world comes one of her fatherâs students, the earnest Gideon Birdsall, who has set himself the task of discovering the language of Eden. Eagerly signing on to assist the Reverend Hedge with his Hebrew Lexicon, Gideon experiences his own transcendence through the beautiful letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Love ensues, and so much more.

Moss is a writer of astonishing ability, whose gorgeously crafted sentences toss off amazements of language and metaphor and are as fresh, alive, and original as Sophyâs paintings. I was pulled into the book completely, so that when the story began to twist and turn, I was unable to stop thinking aboutâand caring aboutâthe characters. They are all beautifully and memorably wrought, but Sophy is the stand-outâgrounded and complicated, she quickly takes root in the reader's heart. I also found the story entirely compelling, having hungered, like Gideon, to find a way--THE way--to the source of all spirit and knowledge. The Language of Paradise is a deeply affecting book that sends its characters in search of Eden and allows us to go along.

A Beautiful Book

I haven't written many Amazon book reviews, but I finished this book almost a month ago, and these characters, that are still living inside my head, compelled me to do so. I can still feel Sophy's repression and her yearning for freedom, Gideon's obsession to find that very first language, and Leander - ah Leander - he is still seducing me, as he seduced so many others. This book pulled me into the most beautiful fictional world I have visited in a long time.

Writing of uncommon beauty

I was immediately struck by the language of this book. Precise, flowing and often lyrical, it never sounds overworked or too clever.

Title: Gallipoli Street

Author: Mary-Anne O'Connor

Narrator: Rebecca Macauley

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13 hrs and 48 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-30-15

Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Genres: Fiction, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

At 17 Veronica OShay is happier running wild on the family farm than behaving in the ladylike manner her mother requires, and she despairs both of her secret passion for her brothers friend, Jack Murphy, and what promises to be a future of restraint and compliance.

But this is 1913, and the genteel tranquillity of rural Beecroft is about to change forever as the OShay and Murphy families, along with their friends, the Dwyers, are caught up in the theatre of war, and their fates become intertwined.

From the horrors of Gallipoli to the bloody battles of the Somme, through love lost and found, the Great Depression and the desperate jungle war along the Kokoda Track, this sprawling family drama brings to life a time long past...a time of desperate love born in desperate times and acts of friendship against impossible odds.

A love letter to Australian landscape and character, Gallipoli Street celebrates both mateship and the enduring quality of real love. But more than that, this book shows us where we have come from as a nation by revealing the adversity and passions that forged us.

A stunning novel that brings to life the love and courage that formed our Anzac tradition.

Résumé de l'éditeur:

À Paris, en 1784, l'hiver est terrible et la famine rôde. Le peuple élève des pyramides de glace pour remercier les souverains de l'octroi de quelques nourritures. Dans l'une d'elles, au dégel, apparaît le corps d'une femme dénudée qui ressemble étonnamment à la reine Marie-Antoinette.

Nicolas Le Floch se lance dans une enquête difficile qui le conduit dans le Paris de la débauche, d'où il ressort que la victime participait à des soirées fort particulières organisées par le futur duc d'Orléans. Et ce qui n'est qu'un fait divers se révèlera un complot visant à compromettre la couronne. Le Floch, bénéficiant de la confiance de Louis XVI, en viendra à bout.

This street should be named Joseph McCarthy Blvd.

I can't say enough about the stellar production of this short story. I normally listen to audiobooks at 1.25 speed on a little bluetooth speaker, but this production style demands total stereo immersion. It's really a great experience that recalls the historic radio dramas of last century.

The story, to a modern listener at least, is bizarre (and not in the good way). It's a product of its time, during the First Red Scare, and drips with fear and racism. If the same exact story was published today, it would be seen as an allegory against Islamophobia. But as far as I could tell, this seemed to be written in earnest. This was an unfortunate introduction to the world of Lovecraft, but nonetheless, I am eager to listen to more from SonicMovie.

Publisher's Summary:

Tony Grams comes to America at the start of the 20th century, set on becoming a new man. Driven to leave poverty behind, he lands a job at the Ford Motor Company that puts him at the center of a daring social and economic experiment.

The new century and the new auto industry are bursting with promise, and everyone wants Henry Ford's Model T. But Ford needs men to make it. Better men. New men. Men tough enough and focused enough to handle the ever-bigger, ever-faster assembly line. Ford offers to double the standard wage for men who will be thrifty, sober, and dedicated... and who will let Ford investigators into their homes to confirm it.

Tony has just become one of those investigators. America and Ford have helped him build a new life, so at first he's eager to get to work. But world war, labor strife, and racial tension pit his increasingly powerful employer against its increasingly desperate enemies.

As Tony and his family come under threat from all sides and he faces losing everything he's built, he must struggle with his conscience and his weaknesses to protect the people he loves.

An interesting story of one man and the Ford Compa

Any additional comments?

This was an interesting story which is a historical fiction about one man, his family and the Ford company program. It was hard in Italy people had to do what they had to do to get by. Tonys father gets into a little trouble once all is taken care of he moves his family to the states where the story takes off. This is a book about morals, working for what you get and being the best you can be. This story covers a lot of issues throughout history from spying, racism, morals, paranoia and a lot more. It shows how one company helped their employees make a new life giving them what they worked for and treating them fair.

The narrator Mr. Matthews did a wonderful job with a smooth voice. Some of his character voices were very close to others but for the most part you could tell who was talking and just what was going on. You had no doubt about the emotion each character has. It was well read with no high or low volumes where he might have take a break. If breaks were taken you could not tell. It was a very clear and clean audio.

I wouldnt say this was a page turner but it is an eye opener it is a little dry, it has a lot of facts of interest but at time my mind wondered off. One thing for sure it is a story you will remember and it will stay with you after you put it down. This was an in lighting read that is well written giving you some facts of days long ago. It shows how a company gave back to those that gave leaving you wondering just how much of an impact this company had and has on the USA throughout the years and still today.

A sea and land adventure.

Lord Ramage seems to be ever getting the 'short end of the stick' from his superior officers with his assignments. Non-the-less, he always seems to figure it out and come up 'smelling like a rose' to those very same admirals, though they will never admit it. He once again is placed into an actual historical event along the Spanish Main on the Island of Curacao, where his ability to 'fathom' out successful plans against an enemy secures himself, his crew, and all those under his command, a victory for Great Britain. His struggles start at sea but end on land. A good adventure. JC

Quick and entertaining read

Very entertaining read. I have now read most of this series and continue to enjoy them. They are not a detailed or as filled-out as O'Brien's Aubrey/Maturin series, but still a fun read.

Just as good the 2nd time

I*m reading the Ramage series for the second time and find it as riveting as the first. It has been a few years since I first met this sailor. Although Pope gets a little repetitious at times, when you read the series. I would suggest you read them in order. Pope knows sailing, so you might need a guide to the terms he uses, but it really isn't a necessity. The stories are varied and though fiction it does give you an insight into the life of a sailor in 1800's. Reading on my old Kindle does cause one problem in that you can not enlarge the maps at the beginning of the books. The writing

does put you in the middle of the action. Even though I have read the stories before, I found his writing kept my interest. I am no sailor. I get seasick just looking at the ocean, but these stories, even the second time, kept my interest.

Fast-paced sailing adventure in the Islands

Ramage, whose name originates from the French meaning, a musical melody by the birds - or less aptly put, bird-song, Volume 9, is a fast-paced sailing adventure in the Islands of the Caribbean about the quickstep evolving analysis and action of a naval Captain involving bloody privateers, a greedy Admiral of the Blue, an Island Governor going back on his word, and, Wow(!), You Can't Put This Book Down(!), and you are reaching for the next book in the series saying, "Did I just finish that?!"

Misplaced history

This novel, written as No. 9 in the series, is based on historical events occurring in 1800. It follows No. 6 (Ramage & the Guillotine) which seemed to be set in 1801, and is one of the sequels to No. 7 (Ramage's Diamond) which seems to be set historically in 1804. Dudley Pope seemed to have a major problem setting his later novels in proper historical order. Readers continuing the series should be aware of that problem. The novels must be read in numerical order for development of Ramage's career, love life, etc., but after No. 7 they seem to drop back to circa 1799 and then progress forward again to 1804. Among other things, the series puts the frigate Calypso in continuous service with the same crew from circa 1799 to 1805.

As a series the endless repetition is ridiculous and boring. Even in the first novel I found myself ...

This a review of the series rather than this particular novel. The author is undoubtedly knowledgeable about ships, the history and culture. If he had written one novel it would probably rate four stars. As a series the endless repetition is ridiculous and boring. Even in the first novel I found myself skipping through multiple kindle pages. It takes longer to read about weighing anchor (each time) than to do it. I'm just starting the sixteenth novel in the series and would recommend it to those who enjoy the genre. But I would rather read Patrick O'brian or Alexander Kent.

Great

Good read very spellbinding as all of these books have been. Have read few books that were more interesting. Great!

Against all odds

Lord Ramage, the most junior captain in the Royal Navy, has been given seemingly impossible tasks by the local Admiral in the Caribbean, perhaps to vindicate his own favorite frigate captain. It's a two part adventure in which Ramage succeeds against difficult odds. Another great sea tale by Douglas Pope. JC Yuill

No "Red Flag" for Ramage

I read this entire series several years ago and thoroughly enjoyed each book. Dudley Pope was not quite as gifted as Patrick O'Brian but his characters are believable and the story line in each is plausible. He avoids a lot of the "gore" that some authors include. I also found these books to be "family friendly" in that Pope doesn't go into explicit descriptions of the sailor's escapades on shore.

Quick and entertaining read. Not as detailed as O'Brien's Aubrey/Maturin series.

A different sea story

I love stories of the royal navy in the sailing days. The author always has an extra twist beyond the normal stuff. It is great

Pope's Strength

Having read all of Hornblower and all of Bolitho, I can say they got a bit formulaic. Pope is refreshing. Specifically, he uses the story to explain the workings of not just ships, but of society of the time, of commerce from the inside, of various trades. It's like taking a tour of those times with a great guide AND a great story.

Each novel has taken on a different aspect of life and times. Am now reading Ramage #6 and intend to buy them all.

And for those wondering--yes, he does explore ships and seamanship with an insider's eye. He notes all manner of things about this that are not found in Hornblower or Bolitho series. You won't get bored.

Ramage faces the unexpected.

Dudley Pope takes an unusual twist and turn from the usual predicaments of the war with the French. He deals with massive fraud and treachery within the Postal Packet service. Along with the mystery of just what is going on, there is a mutiny during which he is faced with tough decisions to save his beloved which was taken as a hostage by the mutineers. A very refreshing mix of the expected and the unexpected. A refreshing surprise.

JC Yuill

The best of the Ramage tales so far...

I really liked the details of the workings of the 18th century British government and society. As always, I was struck by the vibrant descriptions of the coastlines from the sea. A great read.
