"True belonging doesn't require us to change who we are. It requires us to be who we are." Social scientist Brené Brown, PhD, LMSW, has sparked a global conversation about the experiences that bring meaning to our lives - experiences of courage, vulnerability, love, belonging, shame, and empathy. In Braving the Wilderness, Brown redefines what it means to truly belong in an age of increased polarization.

Carson McCullers was all of 23 when she published her first novel, The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter. She became an overnight literary sensation, and soon such authors as Tennessee Williams were calling her "the greatest prose writer that the South [has] produced." The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter tells an unforgettable tale of moral isolation in a small southern mill town in the 1930s.

Excellent narrator and reflection of universality
Revisado: 08-17-23
I do not like female narrators in general, however , she was fantastic. She grabbed the inflection, accent of various cultures within culture . And the delivery was superb.
I have a greeter appreciation of Carson McCullers’ foreshadowing of WWII.
I first read her books 60 years ago when I was a young kid. In audible form , this was a gift.

Seth Hubbard is a wealthy man dying of lung cancer. He trusts no one. Before he hangs himself from a sycamore tree, Hubbard leaves a new, handwritten, will. It is an act that drags his adult children, his Black maid, and Jake into a conflict as riveting and dramatic as the murder trial that made Brigance one of Ford County's most notorious citizens, just three years earlier. The second will raises far more questions than it answers. Why would Hubbard leave nearly all of his fortune to his maid? Had chemotherapy and painkillers affected his ability to think clearly?

Why did Agatha Christie spend her career pretending that she was "just" an ordinary housewife, when clearly she wasn't? Lucy Worsley's biography is not just of a massively, internationally successful writer. It's also the story of a person who, despite the obstacles of class and gender, became an astonishingly successful working woman. With access to rarely seen personal letters and papers, Lucy Worsley's biography is both authoritative and entertaining and makes us realize what an extraordinary pioneer Agatha Christie was—truly a woman who wrote the twentieth century.

The case seems so simple that Inspector Morse deems it beneath his notice. A wealthy, elderly American tourist has a heart attack in her room at Oxford’s luxurious Randolph Hotel. Missing from the scene is the lady’s handbag, which contained the Wolvercote Tongue, a priceless jewel that her late husband had bequeathed to the Ashmolean Museum just across the street. Morse proceeds to spend a great deal of time thinking—and drinking—in the hotel’s bar, certain the solution is close at hand, until conflicting stories, suspicious doings, and a real murder convince him otherwise.

Narration excellent
Revisado: 03-02-23
Some reviews were scathing. Americans listening to a different accent or delivery???
The narrator is adept at various UK accents and personalities of that then culture. The American accent was generic, but that’s ok. It was clearly meant to not sound like a Brit.
I heard Inspector Morse and Lewis , as I knew them, speaking. Kept my attention. And I found I I was laughing at Morse’s acerbic wit.
The quotes at the beginning of the chapters were reflective of Morse’s way of looking at the world. And why would anyone complain about what cannot be changed or explained by the author??
BTW, this reviewer is an American , born and raised in the Northeast USA. So, the first sentence or two were observations of the negative comments, The condescension was not lost on me.

During the first half of the 20th century, the Peoria State Hospital was the premiere mental health facility of its day. Dr. George Zeller instituted the eight-hour workday for his staff, removed patient restraints, and made the asylum into a model for the care of the mentally ill. Today, there are only a few buildings of the hospital left. Some of them are still in use, others are inhabited only by ghosts. Our guide to these ghosts - and the history they represent - is Sylvia Shults.

Thank you, Sylvia, for great stories and detailed history. I feel sometimes I was with you . I felt like I witnessed what others saw. Your courage is outstanding re self- disclosure. I have no doubts you’ve helped hundreds because of this.
The narrator is a joy to listen to.

If the information had been supplied as if all reading are intelligent, it would’ve been great. I have a science and nutrition background. I can tell you the list of never ending questions would’ve decompensated any client I knew at one time.
Yup. I agree with another viewer - FEAR MONGERING.

When his son gets a school assignment on heroes, John seizes the chance to teach him all about the great figures of the Latino world. But once he sets out on his irreverent crash course across three continents and 3,000 years of history - from conquistadores to cumbia, Montezuma to Menudo, and taking on the characters in all of it - he uncovers provocative truths that shock even him.

Disappointed
Revisado: 02-09-20
Not for me. Some humor was offensive and disrespectful to the Hispanic culture.
The mocking of the father of a kid bullying his son was fairly entertaining. I would’ve found contempt for that bully and his father, also.
