Shattered Crowns: The Sacrifice Audiobook by Christina Croft

Title: Shattered Crowns: The Sacrifice Author: Christina Croft Narrator: Jack Wynters Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 11-27-17 Publisher: Christina Croft Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Fiction, Historical Publisher's Summary: In the summer of 1914, the capitals of Europe erupt in a patriotic frenzy as peoples on all sides, roused by the press, rejoice at the outbreak of the "war to end wars". The rejoicing soon turns to disillusionment as the full horrors of the bloodiest conflict the world has ever seen become apparent. For the Emperors of Germany, Austria-Hungary and Russia comes the growing awareness that this war, which they sought desperately to avoid, is not being fought for territory or honor, but rather to destroy the old world order and to replace their autocracies with secular ideologies and international economic control. Amid the intrigue and deception, Kaiser Wilhelm, Tsar Nicholas, Emperor Franz Josef, Archduke Karl, and Queen Marie of Roumania not only face the horrific sacrifice of their people, but are also confronted by their own personal and family tragedies. The Sacrifice is the second novel in the Shattered Crowns trilogy, following the royalties of Europe from 1913 to the Treaty of Versailles. The Sacrifice covers the period from the outbreak of war to the Russian revolution (1914-1917) and is based on actual events. Members Reviews: WWI In A New Light! This second book in the "Shattered Crowns" trilogy, follows the lives of many members of the royal houses of Europe from 1914-1917. If you haven't already done so, I would recommend reading the first book in this series: "Shattered Crowns: The Scapegoats", to give you a good foundation before reading this one. Even if you aren't familiar with the royalty of Europe during the time, the author presents you with a small sketch of each character at the beginning of the book. While presented as historical fiction, these books are based on true events. The author has clearly done a significant amount of research not only into WWI itself, but also the royal families presented here. There is a good deal of questioning in this book, one of the most intriguing questions being: who stood to profit from this war? The answer might surprise you! You will also be surprised to learn that the Kaiser was not a blood thirsty tyrant, as often depicted. While he has his weaknesses, he was also a man overwhelmed by daily responsibilities during the war. He was torn by the despair that the war had caused his entire family and his countrymen. Peace would have been a welcome relief to him, and to his credit he did care enough about his Romanov cousins in Russia (during their revolution) to offer them safe refuge. Tsar Nicholas' portrayal in this book is equally interesting. While a man of simplicity who was unprepared to rule Russia, he was far from the "weak" and "unintelligent" man that many reports might make you believe. He took his coronation oath with extreme seriousness and felt it was his duty to uphold all responsibilities connected with it. The sketches of Emperor Franz Josef, Emperor Karl, Queen Marie and others were equally impressive and accurate. Most impressive was the fact that none of the royal cousins actually wanted this war! This book completely questioned my previous understanding of WWI, its causes and consequences. It presents the war in a completely different and human way that very few books have had the ability to do.

La isla de los amores infinitos [The Island of Eternal Love] Audio Libro por Daína Chaviano
Sep 26, 201710:52:00Tap to summarizeEscuche este audio libro completo gratis en https://hotaudiobook.com Título: La isla de los amores infinitos [The Island of Eternal Love] Autor: Daína Chaviano Narrador: Paula Andrea Formato: Unabridged Duración: 10 hrs and 52 mins Idioma: Español Fecha de publicación: 09-26-17 Editor: Audible Studios Calificaciones: 3 de 5 de 1 votos Categorías: Fiction, Historical Resumen del editor: Tres familias de orígenes y culturas dispares protagonizan esta apasionante saga de emigrantes que recalan en Cuba y cuyos destinos a lo largo de más de 150 años correrán parejos con los de la bella isla. Desde el Miami actual, la historia retrocede hasta 1856, cuando entran en contacto los personajes, procedentes de China, España y África, y surge el amor, que hallará una mágica continuidad un siglo más tarde. Una hermosa historia de esperanzas y sueños rotos, de nostalgia, exilio y amores unidos por el destino. Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish. Opiniones de los miembros: nice view into Cuba's racial diversity, but not my favorite by Chaviano Years ago I listened to Daína Chaviano's "El hombre, la hembra, y el hambre" (Man, Woman, & Hunger; but in Spanish with alliteration!) and really enjoyed it, a portrayal of hunger and extenuating circumstances in modern Cuba. So I was excited to try "La isla de los amores infinitos" (The Island of Eternal Love), another of her books (and her first to be translated into English). I listened to the audiobook in Spanish, so I definitely missed some stuff. But in short, Chaviano alternates between four stories: one of a Cuban exile in modern Miami, and the other three taking place in the past and covering Cuba's three major races: One African family, one Spanish family, and one Chinese family. There are fantastical elements, like an imp is only visible to the women of one family and a phantom house that keeps appearing in different parts of Miami, but most of the book is grounded in everyday realities like forbidden (inter-racial) love, trying to buy one's way out of slavery, having your shop burnt down by competitors, and getting arrested first by the pre-revolutionary Cuban government and then by the revolutionary Cuban government. Here are a few lines I liked. On suicide: "La muerte no resuelve nada. Sólo sirve para darle molestias a los vivos." On remembering a place you left: "Cuando la gente se aleja de un lugar, lo mitifica." "Es cierto. La Habana que añoras seguramente ya no existe." I enjoyed this moderately, but I never got completely wrapped up in the tale. (And I didn't get the resolution I wanted on the phantom house.) Overall, if you haven't read anything by Daína Chaviano, I'd recommend "El hombre, la hembra, y el hambre" first. Note on content: A couple of characters become sex workers out of desperation, but the characterizations are not very explicit. Some violence. Tedious, unrealistic and banal character description Tedious, unrealistic and banal character description. I bought it because I had read her previous novel "El hombre, la hembra y el hambre" a few years ago and liked it very much. Sorry I cannot say the same about this one. Un libro que atrapa Una obra maestra con mucha inteligencia y sensibilidad. Tiene una trama apasionante donde se unen las tres principales etnias que componen la cultura Cubana: la Espanola, la Africana y la China. No conocia previamente a esta gran escritora y menos conocia el hecho de que la cultura China representa el tercer eslabon de la cultura Cubana.

One year later....

As Olivia is drawn into events a century ago, she becomes aware of the past and the present intertwining, blurring her understanding of what is real and what is imagined. As she begins to understand why a nation once believed in fairies, will Olivia find a way to believe in herself? Critic Reviews: "Enchanting, magical....

(Pam Jenoff, New York Times best-selling author of The Orphan's Tale) Members Reviews: Brilliant! I absolutely love this book. I couldn't stop reading but didn't want it to end. This has to be my favourite read of 2017.

Tales from a Strange Southern Lady Audiobook by Jan Fink

Title: Tales from a Strange Southern Lady Author: Jan Fink Narrator: Natalee Pfeifer Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 08-11-17 Publisher: Fifth Estate Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Fiction, Historical Publisher's Summary: Jan Fink's stories are drawn from her life experiences and the people she has met along the way. She allows her characters to channel their stories in their own voices. Stories that involve what it is to be human and capable of greed, hatred, brutality, and even murder. Her characters take us through the struggles of the human capacity for good and evil, the capacity to love, human frailty, the burden of guilt and sin, and realizing the dark side of their own nature. From Anna fleeing her eccentric Southern family, Olivia's childhood memoir, Damon Pierce's knowledge, John Love's quest for Clara Jean, Little Bill's Greenland to Pauley and Dylan's driving lesson, a mother's story of abuse, the long-winded George McNutt, Buzz the collector, and Archie's question, they are each in their own way searching for meaning and freedom. Tales from a Strange Southern Lady is fashioned with sentences that artfully paint perfect pictures and a sharp, wicked sense of humor. At the same time they carry that sort of Southern innocence and naiveté that makes the characters so likable and the bad ones so hateable. Members Reviews: On Discovering Jan Fink I will seek out more stories from this extraordinary writer. Talented. Soulful. I want more!

Title: Red Sky at Noon Author: Simon Sebag Montefiore Narrator: Simon Bubb Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 07-06-17 Publisher: Random House Audiobooks Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Fiction, Historical Publisher's Summary: Random House presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of Red Sky at Noon by Simon Sebag Montefiore. 'The black earth was already baking, and the sun was just rising when they mounted their horses and rode across the grasslands towards the horizon on fire....' Imprisoned in the Gulags for a crime he did not commit, Benya Golden joins a penal battalion made up of Cossacks and convicts to fight the Nazis. He joins the Russian cavalry, and on a hot summer day in July 1942, he and his band of brothers are sent on a desperate mission behind enemy lines. Switching between Benya's war in the grasslands of Southern Russia and Stalin's plans in the Kremlin, between Benya's intense affair with an Italian nurse and a romance between Stalin's daughter and a journalist also on the Eastern Front, this is a sweeping story of passion, bravery and human survival, where personal betrayal is a constant companion and death just a heartbeat away. Critic Reviews: "A master storyteller - his fiction is compelling." (GQ) "A natural storyteller who brings his encycolopedic knowledge of Russian history to life in language that glitters like the ice of St Petersburg." (Washington Post) Members Reviews: Magnificent A novel depicting that even in the darkest of hours beauty and love can be found. brilliant book, very well narrated Very good, gripping storyline, shows many aspects of the eastern front with a cleverly interwoven love plot. superb narration and consitent accents makes an easy listen. I would highly recommend a sequal tieing up some loose ends

Eureka Audiobook by Anthony Quinn

Title: Eureka Author: Anthony Quinn Narrator: Kim Hicks Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 07-06-17 Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Genres: Fiction, Historical Publisher's Summary: Sex, drugs, cinema and stardom in a glorious technicolour romp through London's Swinging '60s. Summer, 1967. As London shimmers in a heat haze and swoons to the sound of Sgt. Pepper, a mystery film - Eureka - is being shot by German wunderkind Reiner Werther Kloss. The screenwriter, Nat Fane, would do anything for a hit but can't see straight for all the acid he's dropping. Fledgling actress Billie Cantrip is hoping for her big break but can't find a way out of her troubled relationship with an older man. And journalist Freya Wyley wants to know why so much of what Kloss touches turns to ash in his wake. Meanwhile, the parallel drama of Nat's screenplay starts unfurling its own deep secrets. Sexy, funny, nasty, Eureka probes the dark side of creativity, the elusiveness of art and the torment of love. Critic Reviews: "By his own terms, Quinn is the literary equivalent of Houdini, a novelist who has a particular talent for absenting himself and letting his characters come to life." (The Independent) Members Reviews: A real find! Having never read the author before, I wasn't sure what to expect from this novel. What a happy surprise ("Eureka!") to discover some great writing that delivers on all fronts: interesting characters (some of whom seem to have non-fictional counterparts in real life), two exciting plot lines (one is in the form of a film script) and immersive period detail of 1967 London. I'm ready to read Quinn's Curtain Call and Freya right now.

It depicts a powerful, but disturbing, picture of poverty, racism, and juvenile cruelty. On the other hand, it showcases the strength of will to overcome those conditions through perseverance. Members Reviews: sweet coming of age. Ok I normally listen to Zombie books, or horror books, or the end of the world kind of books. This was a great little VACAY from them. it totally kept my interest. yea it wasn't full of drama, scary things or end of the world things; but it kept me entertained. Its set back in the 40s. and told from a mother, and daughters point of view, Its about how they have overcome rotten things in their life. its a feel good read. I really did enjoy this. The Narrator, did an AMAZING job! I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. Great Story! The detailed descriptions of the characters, surroundings and mannerisms made me feel like I was watching everything unfold. I truly enjoyed this book. Sunday Wild Child I LOVED this book! The tensions between a mother and daughter are very real and relatable.During the depression Bonnie is basically left alone by her husband only to get pregnant on every visit home.It is sometimes sad and sometimes funny.Reagan Boggs is a wonderful narrator.I was provided this book free for review by the author,narrator or publisher. Wonderful story of so much heartbreak and the stru Any additional comments? When I first saw this up for review I thought it would be more of a raw book on abuse and such but really it was a very well thought out book of two people mother and daughter telling their view points on the same issues as they happen. There is some abuse and racism along with a few other things but it is told with class that does shock you but not in an over bearing way. A mother has to deal with an abusive husband that needs to show his manhood by producing children. He started out as a wonderful father and husband turns to drinking and evil ways showing his true feeling not only to his family but the blacks in the town they are in. Going through one town after another with nothing to their name living on what jobs he can find leaving them with little or nothing to eat. One woman tries her best to be the best mother who came from money but was disowned when she married. She learns the hard way how to not only grow as a person but finds her back bone. To a daughter who is determined to not be like her mother she takes the world by storm getting in trouble showing the world no one will get her down. No man will ever treat her like her father treats her mother. As people look down on them, makes fun of them and talk about them this family stands proud. Ms. Boggs narration is wonderful, her character voices are a delight from the tough hateful men to the lady who gives all, to the ones that try to take what do not belong to them. Her children voices really pull you in as they show their hurt, anger and stand proud. The narrator really puts a lot of emotion into this audio you can hear the desperation, anger, hope, fear, the little joy and happiness they have in her tones as she takes them through the years and all they learn. She really put a lot of thought into each character and how she would portray them.
