Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 72
When Mona Ramsey married Lord Teddy Roughton to secure his visa—allowing him to remain in San Francisco to fulfill his wildest dreams—she never imagined she would, by age 48, be the sole owner of Easley House, Teddy’s grand, romantic country manor in the UK. She also didn't imagine that she’d need to open the manor’s doors to paying guests to afford the electric bill and repair the leaking roof. Yet somehow she and her young friend Wilfred--whom guests assume is serving as Easley’s charming-but-clumsy butler--and the loopy old gardener Mr. Hargis, are making it work.

The accents are horrible.
Revisado: 03-10-25
I love Armisted Maupin and his stories, and have liked the Audible versions thus far. However. I ended up returning this selection and I’ll just read the book… Mara Wilson has a lovely voice, but I only got through the first chapter because her British accents are worse than Dick Van Dyke’s. It was difficult to listen to, for a story that takes place in England. Oh well. At least I could return it!

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 177
A fiercely ambitious TV talk show host finds she must choose between national stardom in New York and a husband and child in San Francisco. Caught in the middle is their longtime friend, a gay man whose own future is even more uncertain. Wistful and compassionate, yet subversively funny, Sure of You could only come from Armistead Maupin.

Motormouth who doesn’t get the characters. 2.5 stars.
Revisado: 03-16-22
Hmm. This isn’t my first experience with this story, and imo, McCormick doesn’t seem to get these characters in the way I’ve always heard them. I wish Frances McDormand or Cynthia Nixon did this one as well as the majority of the others, but it’s not totally awful. I recommend listening to it on .08 or .09… he will sound slightly drunk sometimes, but at least he doesn’t sound like he’s on speed.

In 1893, Liliuokalani, the Queen of Hawaii, was deposed and five years later her nation became an incorporated territory of the United States. Published shortly after these momentous events, her book Hawaii's Story by Hawaii's Queen is an incredibly personal history of the islands that she was born to rule. Liliuokalani covers from her birth in 1838 through the reigns of her forebears to her own turbulent time as Queen of the Hawaiian Islands.

This should be required reading for all Americans
Revisado: 05-19-19
If you’ve ever been to Hawai’i and loved it- and let’s face it, if you’ve been to Hawai’i, and there’s not something wrong with you, you’ve loved it ;) -you should read this first-hand account of exactly how American business, aided by America’s government, forcibly took control of the Hawai’ian islands and imprisoned its rightful and duly elected monarch. Emily Woo Zeller reads the text beautiful and accurately, and her Hawai’ian pronunciation is very good. A+ from me.
