Historia
In 2020, Olivia Laing began to restore an eighteenth century walled garden in Suffolk, an overgrown Eden of unusual plants. The work brought to light a crucial question for our age: Who gets to live in paradise, and how can we share it while there's still time? Moving between real and imagined gardens, from Milton's Paradise Lost to John Clare's enclosure elegies, from a wartime sanctuary in Italy to a grotesque aristocratic pleasure ground funded by slavery, Laing interrogates the sometimes shocking cost of making paradise on earth.

I wish I could listen to Olivia Laing’s thoughts forever
Revisado: 09-07-24
The writing itself was beautiful and Olivia reads it with serenity but passion. She has such a wide array of interests and infinite curiosity that are wonderfully woven together to create a vivid picture of wrestling with your love for an activity and its long and varied history. Her references are incredible and I found myself constantly googling as I listened to see what books and gardens and people she was discussing. I feel like I could spend a year reading all the books she describes in such wonderful ways. Her parallels between experiences and references were what made me wish I could see how her mind works, it seems an interesting and beautiful place. So so happy I listened to this, it’s been a perfect send off to the summer!

Historia
Emmy Award-winning actress Tatiana Maslany narrates a brand-new special edition recording of the first audiobook in the worldwide best-selling trilogy from Suzanne Collins! In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by 12 outlying districts. The Capitol keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.

I loved this book when I was a young teenage girl and as an adult I wanted to listen to it but hadn't loved the old audiobook. With this edition, her voice is so so perfect for Katniss and she does a great job of invoking Katniss' internal dialogue between this tomboy type of exterior and pragmatic nature with the emotional side of being a teenage girl in a crazy time and place. Shout out to Tatiana for putting the best voice to Katniss I've ever experienced!!
