Historia
England, 1835. London is awash with thrilling new ingredients, from rare spices to exotic fruits. But no one knows how to use them. When Eliza Acton is told by her publisher to write a cookery book instead of the poetry she loves, she refuses - until her bankrupt father is forced to flee the country. As a woman, Eliza has few options. Although she’s never set foot in a kitchen, she begins collecting recipes and teaching herself to cook. Much to her surprise, she discovers a talent - and a passion - for the culinary arts.

Women Creating food and recipes in a time men rule the kitchen
Revisado: 02-16-25
Narration was very good indeed.
The story was excellent full of social historical details on the life of women and what they were able to do, in the kitchen in particular in Victorian times. The recipe history and the creativity of the recipes, also what people ate such as badger was very educational and interesting.
If you enjoy cooking, food and eating, and history, particularly about women in Victorian times I highly recommend this book

Great End of Series Final Story
Revisado: 08-10-24
Enjoyed the final story in the Maise Dobbs series. It’s difficult to know the this thoughtfully and historically factually correct series has ended. This final book made an excellent job of knitting all the characters and ends together. I will miss this series greatly and look forward to listening to the whole series again in the not too distant future.
I didn’t enjoy the narrator. It would have been easier to have her not try to do all the different accents. It took away from the pleasure of listening to a great book.

A must read
Revisado: 07-30-24
I learned much about America and the Vietnam war from this book. It is amazingly well written, and a deep meaningful account of what happened to a generation who went to serve their country. I couldn’t put this book down, and I did not want the story to end. I love all of Kristen Hannah’s books, but this has to be the best so well written and so well told

Historia
Who hasn’t wondered for a split second what the world would be like if a person who is the object of your affliction ceased to exist? But then you’ve probably never heard of The McMasters Conservatory, dedicated to the consummate execution of the homicidal arts. To gain admission, a student must have an ethical reason for erasing someone who deeply deserves a fate no worse (nor better) than death. The campus of this “Poison Ivy League” college—its location unknown to even those who study there—is where you might find yourself the practice target of a classmate.

An interesting and amusing storyline, also thought provoking. Would be good for a car journey, or other travel, or while doing chores.
The narration was excellent as was the dialogue. I recommend this book.

Historia
In 1838, a young woman was given a diary on her wedding day. Collecting snippets of fabric from a range of garments—some her own, others donated by family and friends—she carefully annotated each one, creating a unique record of their lives. Her name was Mrs. Anne Sykes. Nearly two hundred years later, the diary fell into the hands of Kate Strasdin, a fashion historian and museum curator. Using her expertise, Strasdin spent the next six years unraveling the secrets contained within the album's pages, and the lives of the people within.

A very interesting diary, about women thru fabric and fashion. Enjoyed and would recommend it takes us away from our daily life and the life of another era of women’s lives.

In June 2021, the whole world was listening as Britney Spears spoke in open court. The impact of sharing her voice—her truth—was undeniable, and it changed the course of her life and the lives of countless others. The Woman in Me reveals for the first time her incredible journey—and the strength at the core of one of the greatest performers in pop music history. Written with remarkable candor and humor, Spears’s groundbreaking book illuminates the enduring power of music and love—and the importance of a woman telling her own story, on her own terms, at last.

I didn’t know much about Britany only what I glanced at in the tabloids. I am so overwhelmed by her bravery and honesty. Her story is incredible and interesting and I recommend this book.

The story was so interesting. Initially, I didn’t think it was going to be so absorbing. It’s a story that is sadly true.

This story read by Prince Harry was interesting and honest. I especially enjoyed hearing about his military life. It is sad as expected but also inspirational. My hope is Harry will find the peace and happiness with his new family and bravely found new life in California
