Great short listen based on a true story!

Enjoyed this very much. Like listening to an old time radio show with the sounds and voices creating the mood. Did some googling after I finished and makes it all the more interesting because it’s based on true events.

Young playwright Melina Green has just written a new work inspired by the life of her Elizabethan ancestor Emilia Bassano. But seeing it performed is unlikely, in a theater world where the playing field isn’t level for women. As Melina wonders if she dares risk failure again, her best friend takes the decision out of her hands and submits the play to a festival under a male pseudonym.

Loved this book! The mix of Elizabethan England and present day is very compelling. How far women have come (or not) in the past 400 years spawns lots of thoughts. Highly recommend this book!

Following the death of her former husband, Cam, fifty-four-year-old Eleanor has moved back to the New Hampshire farm where they raised three children to care for their brain-injured son, Toby, now an adult. Toby’s older brother, Al, is married and living in Seattle with his wife; their sister, Ursula, lives in Vermont with her husband and two children. Although all appears stable, old resentments, anger, and bitterness simmer just beneath the surface. How the Light Gets In follows Eleanor and her family through fifteen years (2010 to 2024).

Count the Ways was a fabulous read—but I don’t think you need to read it before this one. Wonderful story and the weaving in of real current events during the story was a plus. Love her books!

TJ Devlin is the charming disappointment in the prominent Devlin family, all of whom are lawyers at their highly successful firm—except him. After a stint in prison and rehab for alcoholism, TJ can’t get hired anywhere except at the firm, in a make-work job with the title of investigator. But one night, TJ’s world turns upside down after his older brother John confesses that he murdered one of their clients, an accountant he’d confronted with proof of embezzlement. It seems impossible coming from John, the firstborn son and Most Valuable Devlin.

Crissy Dowling has created a world that suits her perfectly. She passes her days by the pool in a private cabana, she splurges on ice cream but never gains an ounce, and each evening she transforms into a Princess, performing her musical cabaret inspired by the life of the late Diana Spencer. Some might find her strange or even delusional, an American speaking with a British accent, hair feathered into a style thirty years old, living and working in a casino that has become a dated trash heap.

Bohjalian’s stories are often a little dark and this one is no exception. I thought the narrator who voiced Chrissy was great but the Betsy/Marissa just so so. I enjoyed the book—have read all of this author’s books.

As an adoptee born in 1952 this book hit me deeply in many ways. Although I always knew I was adopted, I know others for whom it was kept a secret. Heather Marshall does a fabulous job weaving her characters' stories. A wonderful story especially at this time when women 's rights are being challenged.

Couldn’t stop listening once I started. This was my era—I was a teenager in the 60’s so the story really resonated with me. Such a different time for women.

I thought this was a fabulous book—I was sobbing at the end as it touched me so deeply. It’s about the messiness of families and of life in general and also about love, connection and forgiveness. I loved it.
