Members Reviews:

Interesting peek into an exclusive world

It is a shame that this book needs a good editing; there are funny stories, great recipes written in charming style but it can get a bit lost in sentence structure, grammar and typos. That said, Dame DJ is a charming writer with access to people and places that many of us can only dream of. This book deals with the one of the exotic food stuffs on the planet and she takes us to through a history of the truffle, modern trade and we meet some of the talents who get to use this wonderful fungus on a daily basis.

The recipes had my mouth watering and I'm going to start saving my pennies to at least get some truffle oil!

Equal Parts Yearning and Laughing

This book both made my mouth water and made me laugh out loud. It is filled with delicious-sounding truffle recipes well beyond my budget and informative/hilarious descriptions of posh London eateries that make me yearn and laugh in equal measure. I hugely enjoyed the many tidbits like this quirky positive reaction to a renovated high-end restaurant: "It had none of those modern minimal grey hard lines of industrial chic that we have had thrust upon us, which essentially make people look ugly, badly dressed, jaundiced, greasy and unwanted."

Another Gem from Dame D J.,

Another Gem from Dame D J.,

Written with the usual clarity, wit and humor from the Author,

"Truffles For London" is a fascinating and interesting read on a subject immersed in mystery.

It includes some mouth-watering recipes as well.Looking forward to more books. DAJ.

Title: Union Bound

Author: William R. Walters, Michael Davis

Narrator: Dalen Gunn

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 20 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-22-16

Publisher: Books in Motion

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

A companion audiobook to the provocative award-winning Civil War film of the same name, Union Bound is a powerful story of one man who understood what slavery is all about and who risked everything to do the right thing - to save his country, to free slaves. It is a story of compassion, resolve, and unity against a common evil. It is a story of our past to encourage us to be resolute today.

Based on the actual diaries of Union soldier Joseph Hoover, Union Bound is the story of how Sergeant Hoover came to join the Union army only to be captured during the Battle of the Wilderness and taken to the dreaded Andersonville prison in Georgia, where he was held four long months before being transferred to the Florence Stockade in South Carolina. Shortly after arriving to the Florence, Joseph escaped, and the very slaves he had fought to free helped him travel the Underground Railroad back to his company in the North. In this amazing true story, you will find honor, integrity, love of country, and the belief that all men are indeed equal.

A collection of essays, it was originally written as a gift to the author's family following the death of her grandmother, Esther Masquelier, and was never intended for publication. The essays here are the inspiration behind placing The Narrow Gate, her debut novel, in the town of McDonald.

Members Reviews:

Wonderful Stories Read Out Loud! Loved it !

Any additional comments?

Very enjoyable book. The stories are well told and the narration by Lisa Hicks is superb (as always.) Roberts has an amazing way of drawing you into the moment, engaging your imagination and emotions, but without becoming too sentimental. The short novel really works as an audio book because it is nice to have the stories spoken out loud by a gifted voice actor.

Beautiful

A lovely story of what family means to everyone. Really enjoyed listening to someone else read the story instead of me reading. This way I was able to do my work.

Titel: Jacques Cousteau - Tauchfahrt in die Tiefe (Abenteuer & Wissen)

Autor:: Berit Hempel

Erzähler: Norman Matt

Format: Unabridged

Spieldauer: 1 hr and 8 mins

Sprache: Deutsch

Veröffentlichungsdatum: 12-14-16

Herausgeber: Headroom Verlag

Kategorien: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

"Wer Fische studieren will, muss am besten selber zum Fisch werden." Das behauptete und bewies der geniale Meeresforscher Jacques Cousteau, der das Leben unter Wasser so genau erforscht und so spannend beschrieben hat wie kein anderer. Bereits als Kind begann er zu tauchen und zu experimentieren. Die Geschichten von Indianern, die durch Schilfrohre unter Wasser atmen, ließen ihn nicht mehr los. So entwickelte er das Tauchen mit Sauerstoffgeräten und wurde zu einem der größten Pioniere in der Erforschung der Tiefen des Ozeans.

Auch Prof. Dr. Antje Boetius begann sich schon als Kind für das Meer zu interessieren. Ihr Großvater war Kapitän und erzählte oft von seinen Erlebnissen auf See. Heute ist die Meeresforscherin Professorin für Geomikrobiologie an der Universität Bremen und erklärt in diesem aufregenden Abenteuer-Feature auf anschauliche Weise, was mit unserem Körper unter Wasser geschieht. Für ihre Forschung erhielt Antje Boetius als einzige Frau 2009 den Leibniz-Preis.

My name is Linda Buchan, and when I was 18 years old I died. It was Saturday, June 27, 1998, when my young life ended and my new life began. A life that was to be so completely different to the one that I had envisaged, the one that I had expected....

In Linda Buchan's raw and powerful memoir, she shares her journey from the terrible night when the life and future she thought lay ahead of her was shattered. From that moment she began a new life, firstly fighting just to survive, then forging her way with incredible courage and determination to live a fulfilling and purposeful life on her own terms.

Firas Alshater ist ein ganz normaler Berliner mit Hipsterbart und Brille, ein Comedian und erfolgreicher YouTuber. Nur, dass er bis vor zwei Jahren in Syrien für seine politischen Videos sowohl vom Assad-Regime als auch von Islamisten verhaftet und gefoltert wurde. Erst die Arbeit an einem Film erbrachte ihm das ersehnte Visum für Deutschland, und Firas betrat den größten Kokon der Welt: den Westen. Seitdem versucht er, uns zu verstehen: das Pfandsystem, private Briefkästen, Fahrkartenautomaten und die deutsche Sprache ("Da reicht ein Leben nicht für"). Doch als sein Bruder mit Familie über das Mittelmeer nach Europa kommt, erkennt Firas: Ich bin schon total deutsch. Kann also noch was werden mit uns und diesem neuen Land.

Von seinen Erlebnissen in Deutschland und Syrien erzählt Firas witzig, tragikomisch, offen und immer liebenswert frech.

Title: The Other Mother

Subtitle: A Rememoir

Author: Teresa Bruce

Narrator: Teresa Bruce

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 47 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-18-16

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

The Other Mother is a true story of a TV reporter and the deep bond she forges with a woman four times her age - a bond that changes her life.

Byrne and Duncan Miller do not blend in to the beautiful background that is Beaufort, South Carolina. She is an 82-year-old modern dance pioneer from Manhattan who started out on the burlesque stage during the Great Depression. He is a pipe-smoking frustrated novelist and one of the original Mad Men of Madison Avenue. Teresa Bruce stumbles onto the story of their love and quickly becomes one of Byrne's "collected daughters". Byrne and Teresa's friendship is a dance between love and madness, loyalty and truth, and speaks to anyone who has ever needed and cherished the love of an "other mother".

Members Reviews:

Fascinating story, wonderfully told.

This is the way all memoirs should be written! Teresa Bruce brings the story of her "Other Mother" fully to life with astonishingly few words. Every chapter reveals another facet of this complex woman. The seamlessly intertwined tale of Bruce's life and relationship with Byrne brings a personal dimension to the book and reinforces the timeless nature of human foibles, triumphs and love.

A "Bashing" read

Would never have chosen to read this book but it was the chosen book for our book club read. Living in Beaufort, the setting of this book, I was familiar with Byrne Miller and Teresa Bruce. A book of abuse and excuses for one's ego. A waste of money.

Teresa Bruce's Other Mother

This book has stunned me, by which I mean it stays with me â I find myself thinking about it at odd moments, and other books or ideas lead me back to it. I warn you âthis is a rave review.

When I bought Teresa Bruceâs book, The Other Mother, I had already seen her Ted Talk and read her blog, so I knew what to expect â or so I thought. Certainly, as I began to read, I found it as charming and beautifully written as anticipated â a paean to the much older woman who had become her mentor and friend. In what Bruce calls a ârememoirâ, she tells us that Byrne Miller was âanother motherâ to her and to other women, giving them all support, wit, and wisdom in her âwomenisms,â and serving as a role model of spirit, dauntlessness, and partner in a perfect marriage.

Byrne Miller is a dancer married to a novelist, and she has managed to create a vehicle for world-famous dance companies in a small South Carolina town, a feat that should have been impossible to even imagine. Teresa Bruce is a former Olympic hopeful gymnast who broke her back in training, and her dancer past and journalistic present have brought the two together.

Teresa Bruce comes to know Byrne Miller at a time of her own becoming, and she strives to follow her example in many ways, not only in her own career, but also as a loving wife in the perfect love between two artists. But, gradually and subtly, and always with great love and respect, Bruce unfolds for us, as must have unfolded for her, the deeper truths of her friendâs life and marriage.
