Title: Milk Glass Moon

Author: Adriana Trigiani

Narrator: Adriana Trigiani

Format: Abridged

Length: 5 hrs and 6 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-08-03

Publisher: Random House Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 93 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Transporting us from Ave Maria's home in the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Italian Alps, from New York City to the Tuscan countryside, Milk Glass Moon is the story of a shifting mother-daughter relationship, of a daughter's first love and a mother's heartbreak, of an enduring marriage that contains its own ongoing challenges, and of a community faced with seismic change.

All of Trigiani's beloved characters are back: Jack Mac, Ave Maria's true love, who is willing to gamble security for the unknown; her best friend and confidant, bandleader Theodore Tipton, who begins a new life in New York City; librarian and sexpert Iva Lou Wade Makin, who faces a life-or-death crisis. Meanwhile, surprises emerge in the blossoming of crusty cashier Fleeta Mullins, the maturing of mountain girl turned savvy businesswoman Pearl Grimes, and the return of Pete Rutledge, the handsome stranger who turned Ave Maria's world upside down in Big Cherry Holler.

In this rollicking hayride of upheaval and change, Ave Maria is led to places she never dreamed she would go, and to people who enter her life and rock its foundation. As Ave Maria reaches into the past to find answers to the present, readers will stay with her every step of the way, rooting for the onetime town spinster who embraced love and made a family. Milk Glass Moon is about the power of love and its abiding truth, and captures Trigiani at her most lyrical and heartfelt.

A good finale to the Big Stone Gap series

This story sees a lot of loose ends tied up, dreams realized and re-dreamed and even a surprise ending. What an emotional and fun way to end the series. I hope to finish all of Adriana's books by the summer.

AWESOME

Adriana Trigiani has Southwest Va down to a art.. I live near Big Stone Gap and know this area really well... I can envision the areas she is depicting with such clarity.

Even when she talks about Europe it all becomes clear in my mind... like you are actually there.

This is a Must read... I loved it

Sweet and Warm

This story is wonderful and tender and tough and sweet and warm. A lovely window into a life.

Wonderful continuation

This is another enjoyable tale of the Ave Maria in the big stone gap series. I highly recommend starting from the first one and working through each! All of Adriana's books have been great company on my long daily commute!

Publisher's Summary:

While Newton and Ellis investigate a counterfeiting ring, they come upon a mysterious coded message on the body of a man killed in the Lion Tower. Despite Newton's formidable intellect, he is unable to decipher the cryptic message or any of the others he and Ellis find as the body count increases within the Tower complex. As they are drawn into a wild pursuit of the counterfeiters that takes them from the madhouse of Bedlam to the squalid confines of Newgate prison and back to the Tower itself, Newton and Ellis discover that the counterfeiting is only a small part of a larger, more dangerous plot, one that threatens much more than the collapse of the economy.

Critic Reviews:

"An illuminating, often crackling exploration into the mysteries of science, mathematics, religion, and human nature." (Booklist, Starred Review)

"The ever-versatile Kerr...weaves a rich tapestry of interesting characters and period details. Highly recommended." (Library Journal)

"A most gripping and well-appointed entertainment." (Publishers Weekly)

Great Historical Fiction

The story takes place in late 17th century London during the part of Newton's career spent at the Royal Mint. Christopher Ellis is sent to assist Dr. Isaac Newton in his investigations of counterfitters whose operations threaten to bring down a war-weakened economy of England.

The pair of Ellis and Newton almost seem like Holmes and Watson as the book tours through religious history and prejudices to catch the couterfitters who are committing murder in the Tower of London. The author presents a detailed look at what Isaac Newton might have been like while combining this profile within mystery and history set in this novel that is ripe with the names of Newton's famous contemporaries.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was meticulously researched to the point that I had a hard time telling where the fiction began and reality ended. As a nice finishing touch, the book has a light sprinkling of humor in it which will catch you by surprise and leave you delighted.

Enjoy.

Great Book

The book was very fast paced and engaging. I definetly recommend it to anyone who reads historical fiction or murder mysteries.

Well done for an abridgment

This is the only abridgment that I own from Audible, and it was a mistake. I'd planned to purchase the full version. I'm not unhappy that I bought the abridgment; this is very well done. However, if you have the option, the unabridged version is far superior. There's a sense of things missing in an abridged version, even if the story is complete.

A reallly good read (listen)

I really enjoyed this book. I couldn't wait to get back to it.

Bloody Marvellous

Kept me gripped all the way through. The authentic reading and language used takes you back to 17th England and a side to Issac Newton I never knew existed.

Great Read -

What Tales of the City did for San Francisco, Misadventures in the (213) does for Los Angeles in this tale of a struggling screenwriter, his circle of celebrity-seeking friends, and their madcap attempts to make it in "The Biz." Misadventures? What else would you call making off with fish from Tina Louis's koi pond, calling Leeza Gibbons mid-flight to ask who does her headshots, or auctioning off Andrew Shue's chicken-wing and Heather Locklear's lip print for charity? Packed with Hollywood life lessons and more B-level celebs than you can shake a casting sheet at, Misadventures in the (213) is a brilliantly witty romp through the L.A. entertainment machine. And some of it actually happened.

Really bad audio quality for outdated fluff story

I originally got this book because I love Kathy Griffin and had just heard "Official book Club Selection." I wanted to hear as much as I could. When I started to listen to it on a plane the audio quality was so bad I could barely keep listening. I was on a long plane ride so I braved it. The story itself was so-so, taking place in the 90's with so many pop culture references to the time it almost felt like a period piece. Even the reference to the "213" is outdated today. It wasn't the best use of my time, but Kathy definitely delivered- in the same way she delivered on Suddenly Susan. Not the best acting, but always fun. She has gotten much better over time. Not sure if the audio can be fixed- but if it can and you're from LA and like fluff- you might enjoy listening to this one.

Horrible - want refund

No Kathy Griffin that I could hear, just Karen Griffin. Terrible sound quality, story very hard to follow. Had to give it one star or couldn't post this review.

Terrible audio!!!

Do NOT waste your money or credit on this unbearable book. It sounds like it was recorded in a tunnel. It is the worst sounding book I have ever heard. It is so bad, I thought, surely Audible is not offering a book this poorly produced and I changed headphones, cleaned my Aux jack, then finally started another book just to confirm it was in fact the audio on this particular book. STAY AWAY!!

Poor audio quality

This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

This book is ruined by poor audio quality and poor production values.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Dennis Hensley and Kathy Griffin ?

Yes I would

De tachtigjarige Geertruida Amalia Langhout heeft altijd moeten vechten voor haar bestaansrecht. Op jonge leeftijd verliest ze haar ouders en ze groeit op bij de hardvochtige Zusters van de Liefde. Ze wordt, net als de andere kinderen, niet bij haar naam genoemd, maar aangeduid met een nummer. Als ze als dienstbode bij een gegoede familie in Bussum komt te werken lijkt het tij te keren: ze wordt verliefd, raakt zwanger en heeft grootse plannen. Totdat Frédérique Vos haar pad kruist. Vrouwen als Frédérique Vos gaan er geen seconde van uit dat de wereld niet om hen draait. Ze dartelen binnen op hun hoge hakken, pakken je man en kind af en nemen je geld. Zonder ook maar één vlek te maken op hun beeldige witte handschoentjes. Is Amalia, oud en wijs geworden, eindelijk in staat om te doen wat ze al lang had moeten doen, namelijk wraak nemen op haar oude vijandin?

Met Zondaarskind trekt Marion Pauw alle registers open en bewijst ze opnieuw dat haar inlevingsvermogen geen grenzen kent. De filmrechten van Zondaarskind zijn in 2011 verkocht aan het hoofdstedelijke filmproductiebedrijf NL Film.

Title: Beginner's Luck

Publisher's Summary:

In Beginner's Luck, Pedersen introduces us to the endearing oddballs of Cosgrove County, Ohio, who burst to life and steal our hearts--and none more so than Hallie Palmer, 16, savvy and wise beyond her years, a young woman who knows life is a gamble...and sometimes you have to bet the house.

This is the second book I have read by this author and I would recommend both. In both books the theme is a little off-beat, but entirely easy to follow and get involved with both books. In this book a 16 year old girl is looking to quit school and leave home. She is also known around town as a gambler. The characters are very interesting and warm, and I found myself routing for them all.

Fantastic writing.

This author is amazing. I read the four books connected to this series. The stories move forward, are very poignant, and humorous, I enjoyed every minute of them. I downloaded another book of hers and I am enjoying it equally.

Fun, light read.

Well written with lots of interesting facts. Interesting because the characters are so unique.

"A Tree Grows In Brooklyn" for the new millennium

This charming novel is sort of a throwback to the 1950s, even though it takes place in the present. Which just goes to show once again how everything changes and everything stays the same -- at least when it comes to important things like love, death, the necessity of friendship, and the difficulty of finding where we belong in the world. I'd recommend this book to any young person who ever felt as if they didn't fit in and to any older person who enjoys an old-fashioned good read that's witty, poignant, and filled with original characters and great dialogue. I had not heard of this author ever before but from the picture she appears young enough to serve up a few more stories and I look forward to that. And if you ever wondered what might have happened if Anne from Green Gables had become a gambler this novel may just hold the answer.

A Great Surprise!

I've been a member of a book club for over 15 years and I have never had such pleasant surprise of a book in all that time. Another member suggested the book and frankly, I was somewhat reluctant to partake because I had seen the Amazon review from a Reader in Austin, Tx's and the comments about Why bother? That reviewer says nothing happens, etc. And she's right. If you're waiting for the big car chase or the big explosion, it's not going to happen. But if you want to be sucked into the lives terrific, loveable, quicky characters, this is a must read!! I had a hard time putting it down and I hope Ms. Pedersen writes a sequel because I'm dying to know what happens in the next stage of all these characters' lives.

Title: Emotionally Weird

Author: Kate Atkinson

Narrator: Kara Wilson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 22 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-12-15

Publisher: Random House Audiobooks

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

On a peat and heather island off the west coast of Scotland, Effie and her mother Nora take refuge in the large decaying house of their ancestors and tell each other stories.

Nora, at first, recounts nothing that Effie really wants to hear, like who her father was - variously Jimmy, Jack, or Ernie.

Effie tells of her life at college in Dundee, the land of cakes and William Wallace, where she lives in a lethargic relationship with Bob, a student who never goes to lectures, seldom gets out of bed, and to whom the Klingons are as real as the French and the Germans (more real than the Luxemburgers).But strange things are happening.

Why is Effie being followed? Is someone killing the old people? And where is the mysterious yellow dog?

Members Reviews:

Disappointed

Not as good as some of her other books. Took me a long time to work out who was who and why any of it mattered. And the narrator did not differentiate enough between settings to help sort this out. I think Kate A can get too carried away with her own cleverness, and this time it just didn't work out.

Intriguing story.

Unfortunately the reader did not use enough difference in the voice to make clear who all the different characters and stories were. The constant Scots accent hardly varied. Pity

Over complicated

There is so much going on in this book that i lost interest. I am a big fan of her later works so thought I would read some of her earlier work but the storyline keeps moving between now, past and the book the main character Effie is writing. Her use of language is brilliant but unless you have a degree in English you will need you dictionary near by.

Rambling...

Just could not get into the storyline or thread of this book, very disappointing having enjoyed Life After Life.

Title: Amour Provence

Author: Constance Leisure

Narrator: Emily Sutton-Smith

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 28 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-05-16

Publisher: Brilliance Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

A lush, evocative, debut novel set in Provence about the people who grow up and live and remain in two tiny neighboring villages - from the Nazi occupation to the present day - in particular, one man and one woman who have yet to find love.

In the south of France farm life unfolds with the rhythm of the seasons. But the lives of these villagers in Amour Provence reflect the reality that the midi is a place of extremes, the summers of unbearable heat and the winters that are often rude and harsh. Like the climate, the characters find themselves swept away by storms of unannounced and devastating intensity. A vintner's adolescent son has a passionate romance with his schoolmate's mother and they suffer different and enduring consequences. A young Arab woman forced into an arranged marriage, learns that life in the land of Liberté and Egalité can be just as confining as in her own country. A French woman who has lived abroad for many years returns home and discovers that certain members of her family are not pleased to have her back. An unexpected encounter with his past brings new sparks of life to a man who believed he had lost everything, including the only woman he ever loved.

In these two small adjacent villages in the South of France, characters lead lives that overlap and intertwine. Many are close neighbors who have known each other from childhood, linked by ancestors who clung for centuries to their patrimony, the land, which had always been poor, but is now a source of wealth drawn from wine, olives, and tourists. They know a great deal about each other's hidden passions and weaknesses. Age-old resentments and closely guarded secrets retain their hold but are never to be discussed. Amour Provence is a portrait of lives deeply lived, shadowed by the past, against the backdrop of a region and a nation gripped by change.

wonderful read

loved this book. was not ready to let go of the characters when the book ended but it did end in a great spot leaves a lot to speculate on what was next to come for them. writing painted a beautiful picture of the villages enough that I would love to go wander around a village and then just sit and watch life move around me the sights and sounds. great read can't wait to see what constance leisure has in store for us with her next novel.

... view of Provence and it's inhabitants as they navigate love, family life and change

This novel gives readers a unique insider view of Provence and it's inhabitants as they navigate love, family life and change. The colorful details about town life, the food and wine and the characters themselves weave a spell that will make you want to visit ASAP. Can't wait for the sequel !

Five Stars

Loved this book! The characters, the countryside...a definite page-turner!!!

Book review

Very well-written and insightful

Languorous narrative connecting generations in France's best known wine region.

Lyrical, sensual, romantic- these are the feelings stirred upon reading Constance Leisure's wonderful first novel, Amour Provence. Comprised of related vignettes revolving around life in rural France's Provence region, Leisure develops story lines bridging time in small Provence towns.
