You’ve heard of an Essex Girl or even a Chelsea Girl, but what about a Hounslow Girl? Definition of a Hounslow Girl: a young Muslim woman who wears hooped earrings with her headscarf and grapples with traditional values while hustling her way through urban London. The Diary of a Hounslow Girl is a bold and provocative one-person play, written and performed by Ambreen Razia. From the joys of traditional Pakistani weddings to fights on the night bus, this is a comic story of dreams, aspirations and coming of age, told through the eyes of a 16-year-old British Muslim girl.

Compelling story Bad Sound
Revisado: 12-29-18
American audiences may struggle to understand the English language used here. Very London. Good storyline, good delivery spoilt by very bad soundmix. In fact if the story was less compelling I would have given up halfway through because of the bad audio mix.

Historia5 out of 5 stars 11
Continuing the history of the Irish Darcys begun in Missus and continued in The Harp in the South, this third novel of the trilogy re-acquaints listeners with the vicissitudes of slum life in a Sydney suburb. An unforgettable family and a cast of unforgettable characters enliven a story that is sometimes tragic, but often humourous, in a time of poverty and destitution, hope and promise.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 12
Inspector Singh is home - and how he wishes he wasn't. His wife nags him at breakfast and his superiors are whiling away their time by giving him his usual 'you're a disgrace to the force' lecture. Fortunately for Singh, there is no rest for the wicked when he is called out to the murder of a senior partner at an international law firm, clubbed to death at his desk.

What did you love best about The Singapore School of Villainy?
I always enjoy material written about Singapore especially fiction and I have read others in thi sseries.
What about Jonathan Keeble’s performance did you like?
I love this artists work, His command of the accents that are so diverse in the dialogue could not be faulted in this read.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 215
An unidentified corpse is recovered from a peat bog on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland. News of the discovery soon reaches Fin Macleod. However, since swapping his life in Edinburgh for a quiet existence on Lewis, such mysteries are no longer a concern for the former detective inspector. Or so he thought. The sequel to The Blackhouse, which was selected for the WH Smith Richard and Judy Bookclub, and the second book in the Lewis trilogy.

superb read

What about Peter Forbes’s performance did you like?
Peter Forbes read of this Peter May book is "superb". The pronunciation of the very difficult Gaelic words throughout the book are delivered perfectly. His performance makes this complex story line live.
Excellent.

Historia4 out of 5 stars 29
America is Gone. It’s 2003 and American forces are assembled in Kuwait for the invasion of Iraq. In Paris an assassin wakes from a coma, in the Cascades a lone hiker watches a plane fly into a mountain and just north of the Equator a modern-day pirate, a rogue-Tasmanian, is witness to the unspeakable. In one instant an inexplicable wave of energy has changed the world. From Canberra to Cairo things will never be the same.

Great Story, mixed performence
Revisado: 04-22-12
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Love this book and all 3 in the series. Great thought provoking storyline.
Did Tom Weiner do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
appalling Australian accents and pronunciation of Australian names...most disappointing.
