W Is for Wonder , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 234min
W Is for Wonder collects the first 10 episodes of the adventures of W, a superhero like no other, who struggles between the hunger for justice and the need to use violence to achieve that very ideal of justice. Through the episodes, the listener follows W, a shadow running in the darkness of lonely New York City corners, chasing criminals, helping lost souls. Some nights are memorable for W and they are filled with successes in fighting crime; some nights W holds on to the daytime identity of Guinn McGovern, trying to deal with a normal social existence and the struggles of modern dating. Some nights W has to wear both hats: the job of the superhero doesn’t allow any day off, even when some truths about Guinn, and about how some of the main characters of the series became who they are, could be waiting around a corner. ungekürzt.

Things That Happened Before the Earthquake: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 648min
Welcome to LA? Nineties Hollywood gets an Italian makeover in this poignant and ruefully funny coming-of-age novel featuring a teenage girl who's on shaky ground - in more ways than one. Mere weeks after the 1992 riots that laid waste to Los Angeles, Eugenia, a typical Italian teenager, is rudely yanked from her privileged Roman milieu by her hippie-ish filmmaker parents and transplanted to the strange suburban world of the San Fernando Valley. With only the Virgin Mary to call on for guidance as her parents struggle to make it big, Hollywood fashion, she must navigate her huge new public high school, complete with Crips and Bloods and Persian gang members, and a car-based environment of 99-cent stores and obscure fast-food franchises and all-night raves. She forges friendships with Henry, who runs his mother's movie memorabilia store, and the bewitching Deva, who introduces her to the alternate cultural universe that is Topanga Canyon. And then the 1994 earthquake rocks the foundations not only of Eugenia's home but of the future she'd been imagining for herself. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Carlotta Brentan.

Nine , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 512min
From the author of Africa and the W series, a gripping novel that follows Amber Gillingham, an accomplished journalist, as she wrestles with society’s expectations about women and motherhood. Everything is perfectly organized in Amber’s life: her days at work, in the offices of a prestigious magazine in New York; her time with her beloved husband, Mike, and their adventurous vacations around the world. When Amber finds out she is pregnant, her immediate reaction is sheer denial: This can’t be true. She always knew she would want children one day, but now it feels so sudden, so unexpected. She tries to play for time, but Mike’s reaction to the news, with pure delight and anticipation, is the exact opposite. Wasn’t he happy before? Was it all a lie? The news of the pregnancy propagates like circular water waves, from close family to friends, to colleagues, to acquaintances. At each circle, Amber further detaches from the new role society is imposing on her, and she refuses to comply with the expectation of full submission to the child. At each circle, new voices join the choir of enthusiast celebrations, obstructing Amber’s restless attempts to keep control on her life, to remain who she is without losing herself, her husband, or her job. Nine explores the role of women in today’s society, the meaning of modern motherhood and how it impacts the relationship between a woman and her companion, her workplace, her friends, her family. Perfect for book clubs! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Carlotta Brentan. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/136096/bk_acx0_136096_sample.mp3.
