In a remote Polish village, Janina devotes the dark winter days to studying astrology, translating the poetry of William Blake, and taking care of the summer homes of wealthy Warsaw residents. Her reputation as a crank and a recluse is amplified by her not-so-secret preference for the company of animals over humans. Then, a neighbor, Big Foot, turns up dead. Soon, other bodies are discovered, in increasingly strange circumstances. As suspicions mount, Janina inserts herself into the investigation, certain that she knows whodunit. If only anyone would pay her mind....

Unique story - unlike any book I've read in all my decades. I definitely need to listen again!
Revisado: 04-20-25
Quirky narrator, hilarious nicknames for everyone she encounters, surprise ending, and great quotes from William Blake's poetry. I might even have to learn more about astrology.

Imaginative creation, destruction, and revival of our world
Revisado: 04-03-25
Many individual stories linked to a unique land and house in New England. Some stories are gripping, others not. The writing is beautiful and evocative, and the ghosts are a delight.

Breathtaking, heartbreaking, astounding
Revisado: 01-12-25
The story is compelling, as are the characters and the writing. James has the heft of an epic poem that gets stronger with every development. By the last chapters, I couldn't take a pause. I had to keep listening listening to the brilliant narration and thundering conclusion. Percival Everett's masterpiece places him right up there with Homer and Dante's.

With her remarkable insight into the human condition and silences that contain multitudes, Elizabeth Strout returns to the town of Crosby, Maine, and to her beloved cast of characters—Lucy Barton, Olive Kitteridge, Bob Burgess, and more—as they deal with a shocking crime in their midst, fall in love and yet choose to be apart, and grapple with the question, as Lucy Barton puts it, “What does anyone’s life mean?”

Not the best in this series

The same intriguing cast of characters in the same regions of the country that we've come to know so well. But the pace and substance of the narration lack the punch of others in this series.

Raised in Marrakech by a French mother and English father, a 17-year-old girl has learned above all to avoid mauvais ton ("bad taste" loses something in the translation). One should not ask servants to wait on one during Ramadan: they must have paid leave while one spends the holy month abroad. One must play the piano; if staying at Claridge’s, one must regrettably install a Clavinova in the suite so that the necessary hours of practice will not be inflicted on fellow guests.

For the very first time, Judi opens up about every Shakespearean role she has played throughout her seven-decade career, from Lady Macbeth and Titania to Ophelia and Cleopatra. In a series of intimate conversations with actor & director Brendan O'Hea, she guides us through Shakespeare's plays with incisive clarity, revealing the secrets of her rehearsal process and inviting us to share in her triumphs, disasters, and backstage shenanigans.

This is DC Smith's third investigation with the Diver and Diver Associates agency. They have been asked by a member of Norfolk's aristocracy to look into the tragic death of her younger brother, Freddie, the late Lord Thorpe of the title. The inquest verdict was of misadventure, but it isn't long before Smith begins to suspect there has been a serious miscarriage of justice.
