Ones We Loved: A Novel - Tarisai Ngangura
Apr 22, 202512:00:00Tap to summarizeListen to this audiobook in full for free onhttps://hotaudiobook.com/freeTitle: Ones We Loved: A NovelAuthor: Tarisai NganguraNarrator: TBDFormat: UnabridgedLength: 12:00:00Language: EnglishRelease date: 04-22-2025Publisher: HarperCollins PublishersGenres: Fiction & Literature, Literary Fiction, Black LiteratureSummary:An aching love story and literary debut for readers of Jael Richardson, NoViolet Bulawayo and Francesca Ekwuyasi On a bus moving across a rural landscape, from town to dusty town, two young people are escaping with their lives. She has committed a crime for which there will be retribution. He is staggering from a sudden loss. These two will find each other and attempt a new way forward. But the talons of the past have dug deep, and the wounds have not yet healed. Moving back and forth in time, from the fragile bonds of this new relationship to the lives they lived before, The Ones We Loved tenderly weaves both myth and memory. It’s a story about generational living written in the rhythms of oral retellings practiced by Zimbabwe’s Shona ethnic group, where the soundscape of a ngano (story)—its melodies, pauses, lifts and stops—creates a call-and-response interaction with the listener. The novel also pulls from literary stewards of Black Americana such as Toni Morrison and Zora Neale Hurston, shaping characters whose way of loving is inherited and channelled into the lands they inhabit, the people they care for and the present they cling to.

Among the passengers is an anarchist intent on destruction, a young boy travelling alone, a pregnant woman fleeing her home village for the anonymity of the big city, a medical student who suspects a girl may have a fatal disease, and the railway men, devoted to the train, to the company and to each other. Based on an 1895 disaster that went down in history when it was captured in a series of surreal, extraordinary photographs, The Paris Express is a thrilling ride and a literary masterpiece that captures the politics, fears and chaos of the end of the nineteenth century.

In nineteenth-century China, tightly bound feet, or “golden lilies,” are the mark of an honorable woman. When Little Flower is sold as a maidservant to Linjing, a daughter of the prominent Fong family, she clings to the hope that her golden lilies will someday lead her out of a life of slavery. Not only does Little Flower have bound feet—uncommon for a muizai—but she is gifted at embroidery, a skill associated with women of fortune. Resentful of these talents, Linjing does everything in her power to keep Little Flower under her thumb. But when scandal strikes the Fongs, both women are cast out to the Celibate Sisterhood, a strict group of women who make their way in life by weaving silk. Little Flower suddenly sees a path to freedom through her skill when she catches the eye of a nobleman. But there is a huge risk: the Sisterhood punishes disobedience with death. And if Linjing finds out, will she use this knowledge to reclaim her power over Little Flower, or will she protect her? Richly atmospheric and profoundly moving, The Lotus Shoes is an empowering tale of two women from opposite sides of society and their extraordinary journey of sisterhood, betrayal, love and triumph.

Above the Noise: My Story of Chasing Calm - Dave Zarum

We struggle to admit when things aren’t okay, even when it’s obvious to everybody around us. I’ve seen how toxic that can become. I’ve experienced it myself, keeping everything under wraps until your head and heart are full of fire and rage.” Six-time NBA All-Star DeMar DeRozan has been called a “basketball savant” (ESPN) and “the best closer in the NBA” (GQ). But when he went public with his depression, it sparked a conversation that reached far beyond the court. By speaking out and breaking the stigma of mental illness, he added a new, seldom-heard voice to the mental health dialogue: that of a successful Black male athlete, openly naming his pain and advocating for others to do the same. Now it’s time to tell the full story. Born and raised in Compton, DeRozan was no stranger to hardship—he grew up in poverty and lost friends to gang violence. Practising in worn-out school gyms and community centres, fuelled by hunger and a desire to prove himself, he began to rise. But doubts followed. In Above the Noise, DeRozan opens up about both his proudest triumphs and the times he felt so weighed down he couldn’t get out of bed. He reflects on what it took to make a name for himself in a new country after getting drafted by the Toronto Raptors. He recounts the pressure of playing with veteran athletes as a twenty-year-old rookie, and the pain of losing role models. And he reveals what it felt like to be traded away from the team that he wanted to play with for the rest of his career. From a scared, angry kid to a confident father of five, DeRozan traces his journey to basketball stardom and the forces that honed him into the player—and the slowly healing person—he is today. His memoir will encourage anyone who has ever felt alone in their struggles and inspire people to rise above the noise and speak their truth.

The wedding of influencer Radhika Singh and hotel developer Raj Joshi, a week-long affair at a luxury resort in Cabos, won’t just be the event of the season—it will also mark the union of two powerful and wealthy Indian-American families. Everyone who matters will be there. The outfits will be couture. World-renowned chefs and decorators will be flown in. No expense will be spared for what Radhika and Raj have coined “R&R,” a week of rest, relaxation and celebration of their love. Shaylee “Shay” Kapoor is an outsider with an agenda of her own, but she just so happens to be dating Raj’s best friend, Caleb Prescott III, and is the unwelcome plus one at the wedding. Then, on the day before the ceremony, Raj and Radhika are found dead in their luxury villa, both with gunshots to the head. Chaos descends on the hotel. Shay, the apparently devoted girlfriend, stays by Caleb’s side as the investigation unfolds, while family and close friends grieve and accusations run wild. The police believe the murders are a drug cartel hit, but the doors to the couple’s villa have state-of-the-art locks. There was no way for the murderer to slip in. The only ones who had a key were the bride’s sister, the best men and the wedding coordinator. Shay may be an outsider—and she definitely has secrets of her own—but she seems to be the only person with enough perspective to untangle everyone’s lies and discover why anyone would want the bride and groom dead.
