And When She Was Good , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 622min
In the comfortable suburb where she lives, Heloise is just a mom, the youngish widow with a forgettable job who somehow never misses her son's soccer games or school plays. But in discrete hotel rooms throughout the area, she's the woman of your dreams - if you can afford her hourly fee. For more than a decade, Heloise has believed her unorthodox life to be a safe one. But now this secret life is under siege. And nearby another so-called 'suburban madam' has been found dead in her car, an apparent suicide... Can Heloise stay alive long enough to remake her life again? Can she really expect to leave everything else behind? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Anne Wittman.

The House of Haddock , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 19min
Arthur George Morrison (1863-1945) was an English writer and journalist known for his realistic novels and stories about working-class life in London's East End. The House of Haddock is the humorous story of an old rogue whose formerly genteel family has fallen on hard times. A former ancestor of his once gave a set of almshouses to the village, and our anti-hero sets out to ensure that one of these is allocated to him. His first challenge is to get one of the existing tenants to leave. His initial attention is on dispatching an elderly disabled man with a bad cough, whose demise appears to be imminent and inevitable. But after the death of this individual, the church authorities allocate that almshouse to a youngish widow. This lady proves to be quite a challenge...and his strategy for taking possession of her house backfires spectacularly.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cathy Dobson.

The Cowboy's Baby Goes to Heaven , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 506min
Former diplomat Leona Robin wonders if she made a mistake moving to rural Texas. Her son loves it here, but in a place where it's normal for a prize bull to have his own pet pig and hay bales are raining from the sky, Leona wonders how she'll ever fit in. That is, until she's thrown right into local preacher Ralph Maybeath's arms. Is this love? Maybe, maybe not. Ralph is being coached by a six-year-old orphan called little Leon who is trying to make the three of them into an instant family using fairy tales as his inspiration. Want to bet his youngish, not-even-a-little-bit-dead granny will have a lot to say about this when she finds out? While little Leon conspires back in Texas, the newlywed owners of the Sleeping Beauty Ranch transport their prize bull, Baby, to greener pastures up north, with Baby misbehaving every step of the way. The ranch owners are also saddled with a rodeo cowboy and a nosy reporter who seem like the perfect match - if they can ever get past last year's Internet scandal involving some naked pictures and a pink port-a-potty. The Cowboy's Baby Goes to Heaven, the second in The Cowboy's Baby series, is a story about taking chances, seeing people for who they are, and one very, very stubborn bull. ungekürzt.

In 2014, Stacy Thomas decided to fulfill one of her childhood dreams by moving to South Korea. In this book, she related the challenges she encountered while teaching English as a second language to Korean school children in grades one-six, during which she felt a kind of rage that was similar to that of the Incredible Hulk on a daily basis. After the completion of her one-year teaching contract, she decided to travel to Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Taiwan, Australia, and New Zealand for three months as a belated 30th birthday gift to herself. Come along with Stacy as she shares the many priceless experiences that she was fortunate and unfortunate to come across during her journey through nine different countries.

On Bended Knees (eBook, ePUB)
THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF MARTIN GOODMAN'S WHITBREAD SHORTLISTED NOVEL'Goodman writes with flare and panache, and the narrative fizzes along. Goodman's novel soars.' The Times 'A perceptive, moving novel. Martin Goodman takes fierce delight in cutting through the easy cliches about the "new" Europe.' Christopher Hope'Goodman's quirkily charming novel interweaves a young man's search for selfhood in provincial Britain with the mysteries of his mother's German past. ~ Natasha Walker, VogueThe Second World War is over, but the Europe's wounds have not yet healed.Tomas is half-German, he is taught by English war veterans. He walks the ruins of Coventry with his English Gran, the city still crumbling from the blitz.When he nears adulthood, Tomas goes to Germany to stay with his blind uncle. The enigmatic old man was once a German soldier. They explore the drastically changed Berlin, leading one another to places new. Out in Dresden, a city decimated by Allied firebombs, Tomas has more family still. What might a young man make of all this?ON BENDED KNEES explores the inheritance of war guilt in a post-war Europe. It considers how the next generation can reconcile the sins of the last; a timeless dynamic in the modern world.What might we inherit from the wars of our elders, and how might we move on?'The emotional tact of Martin Goodman's ON BENDED KNEES slips down like a milky cuppa. Yet Goodman's plot unfolds against a backcloth of even deeper red. Tomas grows up with his German mother in the postwar Midlands, a place of oozing war-wounds where a gung-ho film or a World Cup tie can split his heart in two. "We carry old deaths within us," warns his dying teacher and Tomas must turn pilgrim in Dresden to make peace with his family's past. This quiet and subtle study of reconciliation tends to stick with English understatement and eschew German grandeur. No matter, Britain has squads of youngish writers trained to squeeze the last drop of moral juice out of the Second World War and its aftermath. It takes a braver soul, like Goodman, to hint that postwar babes should try instead to lay these ghosts to rest.' The Observer'A professional combination of rite-of-passage novel and cultural quest.... Berlin is brilliantly seen through the hero's eyes, as is the character who effectively steals the novel, the blind and autocratic Herr Poppel. The novel comes most to life when Tomas and Poppel are taking their walks around the divided city's streets and parks... A very impressive debut.' Colin Donald, The Scotsman- Shop: buecher
