Publisher's Summary:

GPU-fängelset ligger som ett ohyggligt hot p toppen av en höjd och allt som oftast försvinner det i snöyran. Ryssarna är där och har befäst det. Plötsligt lter det som om ngot kommer nerramlande genom ett stort rör, följt av ett skdunder. Snön sprutar upp i kaskader framför oss. Det här gillas inte, protesterar Porta nerifrn sin snögrop. Det var ju vi som skulle skjuta med mörsare och inte kollegorna p andra sidan. Alltid ska de bryta mot överenskomna regler!

Based on a true story...

It is 1894 in the remote settlement of Bulawayo, in what later became Southern Rhodesia. Recent immigrants from Ireland, Morris and David Langbourne throw body and soul into rebuilding their previously devastated business. Between Morris' brilliant business acumen and David's almost limitless energy, their future looks very promising as they take massive financial and logistical risks and look forward to a booming business in the backwoods of beyond.

Then the unimaginable happens: disease, a devastating plague, unforgivable stupidity in political designs, war, and starvation. And if this wasn't enough, Morris makes a very simple mistake with exponential consequences. Yet these are the Langbourne brothers, and they refuse to be beaten.

Members Reviews:

A gem of a book

âIshmaelâs Orangesâ is a gem of a book. I first spotted a mention of it while reading another of this authorâs works: a contemporary true-life story titled âRaqqa Road: A Syrian Escapeâ in Granta (No. 136, 2016). Ms. Hajaj has natural gift for writing, crisp and sure. In her few works to date, her storytelling and journalistic chops both come powerfully together.

This book is a rich tapestry of a novel with settings in London, Kuwait, Israel, and Palestine, depicting the families of two cultures in opposition, and brought searingly to life by a vivid cast of fully-imagined characters. Through the years, a slow, aching tragedy builds from a star-crossed marriage of two young people, the one Palestinian, the other Jewish. Salim and his wife Jude and their children, especially their son Marc, are gradually ripped apart by loyalty and bloodline and are at cross-purposes for imagining their futures. Salim, educated in London, chooses to return to the land of his birth. Marc, his son of âmixed heritageâ rejects the Palestinian ways and wants desperately to become a dancer. Jude is unable to convince her husband of his obligation to raise a multi-cultural family in harmony.

The author thus brings this explosive mix to life, as we watch a loving but irreconcilable marriage of two people who cannot avoid the conflicts of their entirely different ancestries. Salim leaves London soon after becoming a professional businessman, and takes his family with great hopes to Kuwait. But Salimâs contacts with his old relatives, now in Lebanon, soon become more than distracting. Jude struggles with identity in a land not her own, and strictures on her not previously imagined. The pleasure of reading this book is further enhanced by the harrowing back stories of each of their large, extended families. You are brought into armed struggle in the midst of the fragrant orange groves of long-ago Jaffa. You feel the plight and pain of both Arab and Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

In Kuwait Salimâs intransigence, as much as Judeâs hidden feelings, forces more than one showdown. Eventually Jude secretly returns to England with her children, and for that, all are brokenâmost bitterly Salim who feels both the loss of family and the magnetic pull of his radicalized younger brother Rafan. As Jude and Salim implode in this marriage of irreconcilable cultures, their son Marc tragically internalizes the conflict. What hovers over their lives is Salimâs dream of retaking of his fatherâs land from the Israelis. His hope is to recover the familyâs modest house by the sea in Jaffa, originally his fatherâsâland that was literally stolen by the Israeli government in 1948 following the partition of Palestine.

Publisher's Summary:

Swept up in a whirlwind courtship, Katja and Wasyl begin life anew in a Ukrainian settlement of Western Canada. The dusty Canadian prairies promise hope and independence, but when war breaks out between the old world and the new, their newfound stability is shattered. Rumors of the internment of Ukrainian Canadians haunt the new settlers. Would the country they love betray them like this?

An incident throws the couple and their young children into turmoil, and Katja faces the prospect of enduring a Canadian winter without Wasyl by her side. The close community of Edna-Star bands together during this trying time, but the help of the suave Dr. Smith holds its own danger. Is the family strong enough to weather the storm that they are up against?

Members Reviews:

Good story. The thematic material is covered rather superficially

Good story. The thematic material is covered rather superficially. Probably good for a High School treatment of the topic of forced labor in the Canadian rockies during World War I.

Five Stars

Great summer read

Riveting Canadian - Ukrainian history of new immigrants to 'Kanada' ...

Riveting Canadian - Ukrainian history of new immigrants to 'Kanada', filled with hope - until Katja's young husband, Wasyl, is cast into a Canadian forced labor camp in 1917. Imprisoned, he emerges a leader among the other Ukrainian Canadians who, having escaped corruption in their birth country to homestead in their dream land, also find themselves forced to build roads in Banff, Alberta. During her husband's absence, Katja, raped by her family doctor, nevertheless forges ahead as a dauntless leader - as does her daughter. Their leadership, despite trauma, resulted in huge contribution to Canada. Incredibly moving, informative read.

Eleanor Cowan - author of :A History of a Pedophile's Wife: Memoir of a Canadian Teacher and Writer

Heartbreaking Storytelling

Kalyna is a powerful novel that transports the reader to a not-too-distant era, where your ethnicity could put your entire future into question. This fictional tale unearths a little-known part of Canadian history: the internment of Ukrainian-Canadians. With lyrical language and a depth of understanding into Ukrainian culture, Ms. Clark brings her readers into the world of of Katja and Wasyl, a young immigrant couple. Her vibrant voice - and those of her characters - make this heartbreaking story a stellar example of literary fiction. I enjoyed every moment of this book.

Title: Questions of Travel

Format: Unabridged

Length: 16 hrs and 5 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-23-17

Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Fiction, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

A dazzling, compassionate and deeply moving audiobook from one of world literature's rising stars.

A mesmerising literary novel, Questions of Travel charts two very different lives. Laura travels the world before returning to Sydney, where she works for a publisher of travel guides. Ravi dreams of being a tourist until he is driven from Sri Lanka by devastating events. Around these two superbly drawn characters, a double narrative assembles an enthralling array of people, places and stories - from Theo, whose life plays out in the long shadow of the past, to Hana, an Ethiopian woman determined to reinvent herself in Australia.

Award-winning author Michelle de Kretser illuminates travel, work and modern dreams in this brilliant evocation of the way we live now. Questions of Travel is an extraordinary work of imagination - a transformative, very funny and intensely moving novel.

Critic Reviews:

''Man Booker-longlisted de Kretser's precisely written novel is concerned with tourists, refugees and the complexities of immigration...a nuanced and ambivalent look at the crassness of tourism.'' (The Sunday Times)

''This is a novel unlike any other I have read.... It is not really possible to describe, in a short space, the originality and depth of this long and beautifully crafted book.'' (The Guardian)

''Novel by novel, the Sri Lankan-born Australian has emerged as one of the most fiercely intelligent voices in fiction today. This new work, her most ambitious yet, makes globalisation and its discontents the focus of a multi-faceted story that unites grandeur and intimacy.'' (The Independent)

Members Reviews:

Wonderful book but ..

I loved most of this performance. The Laura part was read beautifully so that the essence of the writing was fully realised. But the Ravi part was spoiled for me by the narrator's attempt at Australian accents. I live in Australia and most people do not speak in this very ugly, strident accent. A shame, as apart from this, i would highly recommend this audio book.

Genres: Fiction, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

Cornerstone is another Cornish based story by Bill Stenlake. Cador Krev's family are an old Cornish family. His parents have given him an old Cornish name. Cador was involved in an accident at work. One of his colleagues died while Cador and one other were badly burned and scarred for life. It takes him two years to be fit enough to decide whether he wants to go back to work or move on to a new challenge. With compensation in his pocket, he decides to move to Cornwall, the home of his ancestors. While looking for a property he stays at a private Hotel in Perranporth which was recommended by his surgeon. On his first night he is nearly run down by an out of control car. The family who own the hotel become involved in trying to help him and protect him too. Events lead Cador to believe he is the target for one family's resentment and loss. He finds out he is the beneficiary of a will which appears to be where the hate comes from. Everything seems to center around the Cornerstone, which is an innocuous stone in the corner of a cemetery on the estate. It is believed the Cornerstone holds the key to why the Krevit mines were so successful in the 1700s compared to the other mines in the area. The secret is there to be told in a book about the Cornerstone, but no one knows where it is. The story deals with Cador's efforts to resolve the situation today and also eventually goes right back to the middle of the 1700s, when Troudemons Hall was built, as Cador follows a trail of clues to uncover the meaning of the Cornerstone, a secret that has remained uncovered for well over 200 years.

Members Reviews:

This should be a required read for everyone!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Pompey Hollow Book Club to be better than the print version?

Unfortunately, I have not read the printed version of this book. I tend to listen to more books than I read now a days.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Pompey Hollow Book Club?

There so many it is hard to pick a specific moment. I guess the swapping of the sandwich for a quarter. It set the whole tone of the book.

What does Lee Alan bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

Had I read the book, I would have had my voice in my head. Having Lee Alan read the book I could imagine my grandfather relating tales from his boyhood. Lee added the extra dimension to the story.

Any additional comments?

It is a story about how people are kind and generous to each other.

It is a story about how people work together and accomplish great things.

It is a story that the leaders of our country should read. They could absolutely learn from this work of art.

Title: A Man of Genius

Author: Janet Todd

Narrator: Miriam Margolyes

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13 hrs and 27 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-16-16

Publisher: Craftsman Audio Books

Genres: Fiction, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

Set in the bustling society of Regency England and decaying Venice, A Man of Genius portrays a psychological journey from safety into secrecy and obsession.

After a troubled childhood, Ann St Clair achieves independence by earning her living as an author of cheap Gothic novels. Within a group of male writers, she meets and is enthralled by the supposed poetic genius, Robert James. They become uneasy lovers.

Ann and Robert James travel from London through a Europe exhausted by the long Napoleonic wars. They arrive in a Venice of spies and intrigue, where their relationship becomes tortuous and Robert descends into near madness. Forced to flee with a stranger, Ann delves into her past, to be jolted by a series of revelations about her lover, her parentage, the stranger and herself.

Members Reviews:

More than a journey to hell and back

This fine book is like a midnight express to hell. As one drawn to literatures of angst, trouble, and tragedy, and the gothic tradition, I found the journey both interesting and worthwhile. Happily, Todd provides a return ticket from perdition, and in coming back, I discovered another level of interpretation that enhances this satisfying novel with a significant creative achievement. While plainly itself as a harrowing story of a woman writer in the early 19th century, the novel may also be read as a compressed social history of gender identity, fiercely dramatized through contrasts. This perception made the book for me a "page turner" and standout artistic achievement. Janet Todd is an eminent scholar and biographer of 18th and 19th century English women writers. Now she makes a striking first offering as a writer of fiction herself.

Genius and Madness

This is a very unusual book, a total immersion in the near-Regency period, not a sentimental romance but a Gothic novel about a Gothic novelist. Following her obsessive love for what she believes to be "a man of genius" from London to the back alleys of Venice, she encounters realistic privation, modern violence, delirium and ultimately.....I'm not going to give away the ending. I am not sure the author gives away the ending. The historical details are impeccable. The characters are fascinating. It's hard to believe it is a first novel.

A brilliantly written Gothic tale of obsession, madness and mystery

Many years ago I read Horace Walpole's The Castle of Otranto, a short, slightly overripe novel published in 1764. In it, we are gripped by events such as a bleeding statue, a praying skeleton and a castle of horror, amongst other chilling marvels. Otranto was the very first Gothic novel, inaugurating a new genre that - along with its offshoot, Horror - has become a mainstay of both publishing and films. If you've never read Walpole's brilliant foray into darkness, I strongly recommend it.

Since reading Otranto, I've searched for years for another novel whose sense of oppressive secrecy and malevolent evil disguised as Byronic magnetism would equal Walpole's uncanny tale of the darkly romantic Manfred of Otranto castle. Janet Todd has written a novel that features a similarly charismatic Gothic hero - Robert James - whose flamboyant genius attracts the obsessive attentions of Ann, a successful writer of Gothic novels in post-Napoleonic 1819 Europe. The novel shifts between Regency London and an occupied Venice with all of its decadent history intact.

Résumé de l'éditeur:

4 mai 1897. Autour de l'épisode méconnu du tragique incendie du Bazar de la Charité, La Part des flammes mêle les destins de trois figures féminines rebelles de la fin du XIXe siècle : Sophie d'Alençon, duchesse charismatique qui officie dans les hôpitaux dédiés aux tuberculeux, Violaine de Raezal, comtesse devenue veuve trop tôt dans un monde d'une politesse exquise qui vous assassine sur l'autel des convenances, et Constance d'Estingel, jeune femme tourmentée, prête à se sacrifier au nom de la foi.

Qu'ils soient fictifs ou historiques (la duchesse d'Alençon, née duchesse de Bavière, est la sœur de Sissi), Gaëlle Nohant donne vie et chair à ses personnages dans une histoire follement romanesque, qui allie avec subtilité émotion et gravité. Tout à la fois porté par un souffle puissant, littéraire et généreux, La Part des flammes, nous entraîne de rebondissements en révélations à la manière d'un roman feuilleton.
