The Spinning Jenny was invented in 1770, and with that, a new era of manufacturing and industry changed lives everywhere within a generation. A world filled with unrest wrestles for control over this new world order: A mother’s husband is killed in a work accident due to negligence; a young woman fights to fund her school for impoverished children; a well-intentioned young man unexpectedly inherits a failing business; one man ruthlessly protects his wealth no matter the cost, all the while war cries are heard from France.

As marvellous as all the other Kingsbridge novels

I like the way this narrator (John Lee) tells these stories. It's not too quick nor too slow. Just the right pace. And there is enough expression to easily imagine the feelings of the characters but not too much to make it hard to believe.
The story, as usual with Kingsbridge novels, is captivating. The best thing is that Ken Follett takes not just any period in history but a period of a particularly significant social upheavel and let us learn about it through the eyes of people who lived at the time. I know it's fiction, but Ken Follett understands the people's psychology and their motives so good that the characters become real. And it's easy to imagine that people such as these really lived.
Also I appreciate that there is love in the novels but it's just one of the aspects of life. It's not overwhelming.

Yuval Noah Harari, author of the critically acclaimed New York Times best seller and international phenomenon Sapiens, returns with an equally original, compelling, and provocative book, turning his focus toward humanity's future and our quest to upgrade humans into gods.

This book really makes you think and reconsider everything you took for granted before.
And the performance is engaging and that's great!

'The one book that has satisfied me completely – the book I always wanted to write.' Agatha Christie. Returning from a visit to her daughter in Iraq, Joan Scudamore finds herself unexpectedly alone and stranded in an isolated rest house by flooding of the railway tracks. Looking back over the years, Joan painfully re-examines her attitudes, relationships and actions and becomes increasingly uneasy about the person who is revealed to her….

As soon as I heard the first words in the sample I knew I would love this book. The voice and the manner of Jackie Crago suits this book perfectly. That is exactly how I imagined Joan Scudamore to sound. I knew the story, I'd read this book before and Iloved it.
