In India, two out of every three people are under the age of thirty-five. These are men and women who grew up with the internet and the advent of smartphones and social media. But when it comes to love and marriage, they’re expected to adhere to thousands of years of tradition. It’s that conflict between obeying convention and embracing modernity that drives journalist Mansi Choksi’s The Newlyweds. Choksi shines a light on three young couples who buck against arranged marriages in the pursuit of true love, illustrating the challenges, shame, anger, triumph, and loss their actions set in play.

So romantic and clueless at the start. Each individual adjusting to their partner along the way, as we do, but these people under intense social pressure. Fear, loss, violence all just for being in love. And there’s growth. This is a fantastic story of 3 love stories. The writing filled me with images of India and tormented me as I started to understand the deeply ingrained beliefs that these couples were up against. I can’t even imagine trying to create a lasting relationship in these circumstances. Fantastic to listen to! Highly recommend. Please write more. 5 years of research?! Amazing.

For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand.

Creates a beautiful, lush Marsh world. Compelling story of young girl’s will to live. Life, love, great mystery, natural beauty. It’s a fun read. Better on paper than listened to.

In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, the Osage rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions, and sent their children to study in Europe.

Spine chilling, incredible, terribly sad- in my top 5
Revisado: 02-15-19
What a terrible story. Written so beautifully. This is honestly one of my favorite books now. I recommend listening to it on Audible. It’s read very well. It reads like a suspenseful murder mystery. It’s just crazy that it’s all true. It outraged me and broke my heart. Very important story. Beautifully written.

Growing up on idyllic St. Thomas in the early 1800s, Rachel dreams of life in faraway Paris. Rachel's mother, a pillar of their small refugee community of Jews who escaped the Inquisition, has never forgiven her daughter for being a difficult girl who refuses to live by the rules. Growing up, Rachel's salvation is their maid Adelle's belief in her strengths and her deep, lifelong friendship with Jestine, Adelle's daughter. But Rachel's life is not her own.

Annoying and affected voices, lovely story

Did not enjoy the readers tones. Too pretentious which distracted from the v rich story
