Historia
Argued with intelligence and passion, this book is essential listening for everyone who loves Australia enough to want to make it a better place for us all. Australia's unprecedented run of economic growth has failed to deliver a more stable or harmonious society. Individualism is rampant. Income inequality is growing. Public education is under-resourced. The gender revolution is stalling. We no longer trust our major institutions or our political leaders. Yet esteemed social researcher Hugh Mackay remains optimistic.

Historia
A bloated corpse turns up in the Thames, throat slashed, and the only clue is a hospital wristband reading "Dr. F. Klein". Frieda is taken to see the body and realizes with horror that it is Sandy, her ex-boyfriend. She's certain that the killer is Dean Reeve - the man who has never stopped haunting her. But the police think he has been dead for years, and Frieda is their number one suspect. With few options, Frieda goes on the run to save herself and try to uncover the truth.

Historia
A sophisticated, pause-resisting double love story spanning 40 years-an unforgettable Brief Encounter for our times. It is 1960. When Jennifer Stirling wakes up in the hospital, she can remember nothing-not the tragic car accident that put her there, not her husband, not even who she is. She feels like a stranger in her own life until she stumbles upon an impassioned letter, signed simply "B", asking her to leave her husband. Years later, in 2003, a journalist named Ellie discovers the same enigmatic letter in a forgotten file in her newspaper's archives.

Interesting and catching but way too long
Revisado: 10-10-16
Would you listen to The Last Letter from Your Lover again? Why?
If it was shorter, I could consider it. It is way too long and slow at times.
Would you recommend The Last Letter from Your Lover to your friends? Why or why not?
Probably. I liked the story, especially the first part but found the second a bit too far fetched.
What about Susan Lyons’s performance did you like?
I liked Susan Lyons' performance the way she mimicked the different people. She made a very slow story bearable.
If you could take any character from The Last Letter from Your Lover out to dinner, who would it be and why?
Ellie would probably be a person I would enjoy to share a dinner.
Any additional comments?
The end was too sweet.

Behold the man: stinking, drunk, and brutal. Henry Drax is a harpooner on the Volunteer, a Yorkshire whaler bound for the rich hunting waters of the arctic circle.

strong in words as in tension, absorbing
Revisado: 10-10-16
What made the experience of listening to The North Water the most enjoyable?
The performance of the reader was magnificent and the description and choice of words very precise (although I not always knew all of them - as a non native English reader)
What did you like best about this story?
The unexpected turns and twists of the story
Which scene was your favorite?
Many different once. For example: In the captain Brownlee's office when Sumner asks to be allowed to examine Drax or when they catch the polar bear cub. I was fascinated how the writer described smells and sounds.
If you could take any character from The North Water out to dinner, who would it be and why?
I think the only one I would feel safe is Patrick Sumner

In 1918, after four harrowing years on the Western Front, Tom Sherbourne returns to Australia to take a job as the lighthouse keeper on remote Janus Rock. To this isolated island, where the supply boat comes only four times a year and shore leaves are granted every other year at best, Tom brings a young, bold, and loving wife, Isabel. Three years later, after two miscarriages and one stillbirth, the grieving Isabel is tending the grave of her newly lost infant when she hears a baby’s cries on the wind. A boat has washed up on shore carrying a dead man and a living baby.
