With the coruscating gaze that informed The Sympathizer, in The Refugees Viet Thanh Nguyen gives voice to lives led between two worlds, the adopted homeland and the country of birth. From a young Vietnamese refugee who suffers profound culture shock when he comes to live with two gay men in San Francisco, to a woman whose husband is suffering from dementia and starts to confuse her for a former lover, to a girl living in Ho Chi Minh City whose older half sister comes back from America having seemingly accomplished everything she never will.

In this revolutionary book, renowned physician Gabor Maté eloquently dissects how in Western countries that pride themselves on their healthcare systems, chronic illness and general ill health are on the rise. Nearly 70 percent of Americans are on at least one prescription drug; more than half take two. In Canada, every fifth person has high blood pressure. In Europe, hypertension is diagnosed in more than 30 percent of the population. And everywhere, adolescent mental illness is on the rise. So what is really “normal” when it comes to health?

As a botanist and professor of plant ecology, Robin Wall Kimmerer has spent a career learning how to ask questions of nature using the tools of science. As a Potawatomi woman, she learned from elders, family, and history that the Potawatomi, as well as a majority of other cultures indigenous to this land, consider plants and animals to be our oldest teachers.

I found this book devastatingly beautiful, informative, and compassionate. The science of plants and animals intermixed with native legends, customs and belief made for a rich tapestry of understanding of the challenges that our generation and the ones yet to be born must face as we choose to continue on the path of consumerism that has been the accepted norm or begin to form new patterns based on spiritual motivation and scientific goals. I highly recommend this book.

Conceived nearly a century ago by a man who died believing himself a failure, it's now a revered classic and a rite of passage in the reading lives of millions. But how well do we really know The Great Gatsby? As Maureen Corrigan, Gatsby lover extraordinaire, points out, while Fitzgerald's masterpiece may be one of the most popular novels in America, many of us first read it when we were too young to fully comprehend its power.

From one of Israel’s most acclaimed writers comes a novel of extraordinary power about family life - the greatest human drama - and the cost of war. Ora, a middle-aged Israeli mother, is on the verge of celebrating her son Ofer’s release from army service when he returns to the front for a major offensive. In a fit of preemptive grief and magical thinking, she sets out for a hike in the Galilee, leaving no forwarding information for the “notifiers” who might darken her door with the worst possible news.

A mother's heart

The story that at first seemed long and somewhat tedious morphed into a saga, the depth and beauty of which an sure will haunt me for a long time. This is one of those books I would recommend without vreservation.

Curiously Enthralling
Revisado: 04-16-18
Where does The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
For several years i have been a regular listener of audiobooks. This book held my interest completely. If I was distracted for a minute I had to go back and listen again to each phrase. The book is certainly near the top in enjoyable listening experiences.
What did you like best about this story?
I loved the understanding of autism in the boy, the sensitivity to his unique way of seeing the world, his courage and the struggle of his parents in their journey to express their love for Him.
What does Jeff Woodman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The narration was done perfectly, so unobtrusively read that the story was transparent and the emotion read true.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Through different eyes many things are curious
