    Come Sunday , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 692min
    A wonderful new storyteller unleashes a soaring debut that sweeps from the hills of Hawaii to the veldt of South Africa. Come Sunday is that joyous, special thing: a saga that captivates from the very first page, breaking our hearts while making our spirits soar. Abbe Deighton is a woman who has lost her bearings. Once a child of the African plains, she is now settled in Hawaii, married to a minister, and waging her battles in a hallway of monotony. There is the leaky roof, the chafing expectations of her husband's congregation, and the constant demands of motherhood. But in an instant, beginning with the skid of tires, Abbe's battlefield is transformed when her three-year-old daughter is killed, triggering in Abbe a seismic grief that will cut a swath through the landscape of her life and her identity.  What an enthralling debut this is! What a storyteller we have here!  As Isla Morley's novel sweeps from the hills of Honolulu to the veldt of South Africa, we catch a hint of the spirit of Barbara Kingsolver and the mesmerizing truth of Jodi Picoult. We are reminded of how it felt, a while ago, to dive into the drama of The Thorn Birds.  Come Sunday is a novel about searching for a true homeland, family bonds torn asunder, and the unearthing of decades-old secrets. It is a novel to celebrate, and Isla Morley is a writer to love. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jennifer Wiltsie.

    Suburban Redux: A Novella , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 161min
    In this novella adaption of his hit stage play Suburban Redux, award-winning author and playwright Andrew Biss presents a hilarious and poignant tale about love, truth, and acceptance in a romantic comedy for the modern family. After 30 years of arid matrimony and suburban monotony, Mrs. Pennington-South's only dream is that her son, Cuthbert, will break free of the cycle of upper-middle-class inertia that suffocated her. Raising him in the hope that he is homosexual, she soon begins dragging home potential suitors for tea - on this particular occasion a rather shy, awkward young man named Tristram. Cuthbert, however, finds he can no longer maintain his facade and at last confesses to his mother his guilty secret: his heterosexuality. When Cuthbert leaves to meet Trixie, his new female friend, Mrs. Pennington-South - heartbroken, but accepting - takes solace in the company of Tristram, and a mutual love of the arts soon leads to a newfound friendship. After several weeks, however, Tristram's feelings take on more amorous overtones, and a confession of love for a woman almost 30 years his senior sends Mrs. Pennington-South into a state of emotional turmoil. Her anxiety is further heightened by the unexpected arrival of Cuthbert, merrily announcing that he has brought Trixie home for an introduction and the big news they wish to impart. Mrs. Pennington-South, mortified at having to face the reality of her son's lifestyle choice, fearfully awaits the dreaded Trixie. Nothing, however, could have prepared her for what will come next. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Milly Scott.

    Debt , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 760min, (USK 18)
    Thrilling...emotional...amazing.... Words can't describe the feelings I have after finishing what was one of themost fantastic novels I have read to date. (Summer's Book Blog) "It's 4am. I just finished this book, and I don't even know where to begin. I stayed up all night reading it. I kept trying to put it down, but itwouldn't let me. Lord, what a story." (Fangirl Moments & My TwoCents Blog) "I need time to fully process what I just read but at this point PHENOMENAL won't cover it - It's THAT amazing!" (SizzlingPages Romance Reviews) I don't know what I was thinking when I hired someone to attack me. Maybe I was bored, or lonely, or there was a void so deep inside of me that I needed something explosive to fill it. It was supposed to be safe. A thrill. A way to break through the monotony of everyday life. It was an illusion of danger that I could walk away from as soon as it was over. Except that it wasn't. Because I had been in danger long before I ever invited it into my life. My mission is almost complete. The bubbling boil of vengeance that heats my blood might finally simmer. She is the last piece of the puzzle. Once I destroy her, everyone who ever hurt me will have paid their debt. It was supposed to be quick and easy, but as soon as I met her it got complicated. Very complicated. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mackenzie Harte, Rock Engle. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/032986/bk_adbl_032986_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Fuerteventura - A fascinating Journey: Vistapoints & Cities - Audiotraveller, Hörbuch, Digital, 25min
    Fuerteventura is the second largest island of the Canary archipelago in the Atlantic. This unspoilt landscape is sparsely populated, lies about a hundred kilometers off the African coast and belongs politically and socially to Europe. We start exploring the island in the far north. Corralejo developed into a ferry port and within a few decades into a lively resort. A fairly large marina also shows that many residents of mainland Spain have set up their second home here.Puerto del Rosario, the island's capital, is spreading out on the eastern Atlantic coast, where shepherds used to graze herds of goats. The place was created in 1797 as a port and with the increase in shipping traffic and as the central gateway to the island more and more people settled here. Since the 1980s, historic buildings have been restored and parks and a harbor promenade have been created. Only a few kilometers from here into the interior of the island, an old Canarian ruin field emerges, La Atalayita, a stone village from the Stone Age. Archaeologists have tried to reconstruct the pre-Spanish housing complexes. Igloo-like buildings made of lava rocks.In Jandia, most tourist settlements appear as a special contrast to the monotony of the stony steppes, scree fields, dark volcanoes and glowing sand dunes. The extensive desert-like dune landscape of El Jable shows that North Africa with its Moroccan coast is not far away. Volcanic mountains and dream beaches with sun, sand and sea abound. Fuerteventura is a Canary Island dream! Language: English. Narrator: James T. Brown. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/cfsu/000124/bk_cfsu_000124_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
