It is 1910. Jessica and Phyllis Melville have grown up at Ellinghurst, their family estate. A headstrong beauty, Jessica longs for London - the glitter and glamor of debutante life - while bookish Phyllis dreams in vain of attending the university. Neither girl questions that it is Theo, their adored brother, whom their mother loves best.

Fascinated by the house but alternately tormented and ignored by the Melville children, Oskar seeks refuge in Ellinghurst's enormous library. Over the next decade, as the Great War devastates and reshapes their world, the sisters come of age in a country unrecognizable from the idylls of their youth.

The Lost Art: A Romantic Comedy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 508min
Dowdy art exhibit coordinator Ava Young is happy with her man suits and sensible clogs. She likes the way they clip-clop on the museum's tile floor. But they don't win her any lovelorn looks from her office crush. In fact the handsome new guy calls her "sir" when they first meet. Oh well. She's always known the only way a guy would take a second look at her was if she was the only person in the room. And on fire. After her workplace crush devastates her by, frankly, calling her something super-duper mean, Ava is ready to make some drastic changes inside and out, even if it means giving up chocolate or taking hilariously out-of-date but strangely wise-sounding advice on femininity from a 1959 book on How to Snare a Modern Man. Either way, she'd better hurry because when a priceless art exhibit gets a theft threat on Ava's watch, a billionaire bachelor and a handsome FBI agent will be taking a good, long look at the art. And at Ava. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Natalie Duke. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/037754/bk_acx0_037754_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.- Shop: Audible

Keep Dreaming: Leron's Song , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 22min
Leron's Song is a story that underscores the difficult and all too prevalent problem of bullying. The narrative focuses on a young man, Leron, who often day dreams and "lives" in his own world of music. He constantly hears it, dreams it, and like a shadow, it follows him wherever he goes. Throughout the story he is bullied frequently by a group of older kids, which keeps him from ever expressing his true genius. He consistently suppresses his God given ability because he feels inadequate. One of the turning points, as the story moves along, is the destruction of an important composition of his. This awful incident really devastates Leron. Although, this unfortunate incident occurred, which felt like a punch in stomach. Leron has a revelation about himself and it sends him headlong into his greatest musical adventure. Granted, bullying is most certainly the primary theme of this comic; this story is also about the unwavering human spirit. Keep Dreaming is definitely a pause resister and an amazing story for all ages. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joseph A. Batzel.
