Historia
As the child of a Hooters waitress and an ex-pro wrestler, Margo Millet's always known she’d have to make it on her own. So she enrolls at her local junior college, even though she can’t imagine how she’ll ever make a living. She’s still figuring things out and never planned to have an affair with her English professor—and while the affair is brief, it isn’t brief enough to keep her from getting pregnant. Despite everyone’s advice, she decides to keep the baby, mostly out of naiveté and a yearning for something bigger.

Historia
Nikki lives in cosmopolitan West London, where she tends bar at the local pub. The daughter of Indian immigrants, she's spent most of her 20-odd years distancing herself from the traditional Sikh community of her childhood, preferring a more independent (that is, Western) life. When her father's death leaves the family financially strapped, Nikki, a law school dropout, impulsively takes a job teaching a "creative writing" course at the community center in the beating heart of London's close-knit Punjabi community.

Historia
Playwright, poet, and novelist Ntozake Shange originally composed for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf in as a mesmerizingly original choreopoem. The New York Post called it "rich with the author's special voice: by turns bitter, funny, ironic, and savage; fiercely honest and personal." Now a new audiobook, it chronicles the interconnected lives of a group of women facing shatteringly difficult issues, and evokes the indomitable power of enduring hope and joy.

Theatre needs a full cast
Revisado: 07-21-21
While Thandy Newton is excellent- you didn’t serve this piece by having her read all 7 characters. Hearing her announce character names before each line disturbed the poetry and rhythm of the piece. Great play - not a great recording.

Meet Alex, a photographer on a holiday with his family in the south of France. Meet Abe, a music producer with a baby on the way. Two men - both fathers, husbands, and sons - take us on a journey you will never forget. The finest actors of their generation, Academy Award® nominee Jake Gyllenhaal (Sunday in the Park with George) and Tony Award nominee Tom Sturridge (1984), had audiences roaring to their feet during the sold-out Broadway engagement. Now Sea Wall / A Life, a dramatic exploration of transformative love and devastating loss, comes to Audible.

TRIGGER WARNING
Revisado: 06-28-21
This is excellent - really. But I would have appreciated a child loss trigger warning. I simply would have skipped it, or had been more prepared for that. I was listening in the airport and had to excuse myself to ugly cry in the bathroom. So - TRIGGER WARNING CHILD DEATH.

Revisado: 07-30-20
Look, I am so glad Audible is stepping up their game on recording plays and having them in the library. The issue here is it’s clear the actors aren’t in the same space. They don’t get to work off each other. The reads by the actors are so flat and lack all urgency. Please, have these actors at least zoom with each other so they can play off each other. This was so poorly acted I could barely listen to it. If you need to read this for some reason just pick up the script and read it yourself. Skip this recording at all costs.

Historia
Some Americans cling desperately to the myth that we are living in a post-racial society, that the election of the first Black president spelled the doom of racism. In fact, racist thought is alive and well in America - more sophisticated and more insidious than ever. And as award-winning historian Ibram X. Kendi argues in Stamped from the Beginning, if we have any hope of grappling with this stark reality, we must first understand how racist ideas were developed, disseminated, and enshrined in American society.

A MUST READ
Revisado: 07-22-20
This book was an eye opening experience for me. I cannot recommend this book enough to ANYONE. You don’t need to be a history buff to follow Ibrams line and what you will learn is not taught in schools.
READ THIS BOOK!!!

When Mr. Earnshaw brings a black-haired foundling child into his home on the Yorkshire moors, he little imagines the dramatic events which will follow.

A classic but not my favorite
Revisado: 11-05-15
Very well read by Timson and McTeer. It is a classic tale, but for the modern reader it drags a bit for my taste.

Historia
Famous, all-encompassing, passionate, but ultimately doomed love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, and how this unresolved passion eventually destroys them and the people around them. Today considered a classic of English literature, Wuthering Heights was met with mixed reviews when it first appeared, mainly because of the narrative's stark depiction of mental and physical cruelty.

Buy the Janet McTeer and David Timson version
Revisado: 10-31-15
I couldn't get past the first two hours with this reader. She was very bad, I'm not sure if she even knew what she was saying most of the time and didn't do much to differentiate between character voices. This made it very hard to follow. I gave up and bought the McTeer/Timson version and am much happier. This story needs at least two narrators since the POV changes so much.

Historia
In the spring of 1974, Calliope Stephanides, a student at a girls' school in Grosse Pointe, finds herself drawn to a chain-smoking, strawberry-blonde classmate with a gift for acting. The passion that furtively develops between them - along with Callie's failure to develop physically - leads Callie to suspect that she is not like other girls. In fact, she is not really a girl at all.
