    The Pruning , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 578min
    A woman who longs for belonging navigates the perils of romance and religion in Ora Murphy’s engrossing novel.In Ora Murphy’s novel The Pruning, a woman searches for love and religious belonging.Ruth, a single mom of three, approaches her rabbi to officially convert to Judaism after living a Jewish life for 15 years. As she awaits an answer from a London beit din, she meets Samuel, an Orthodox Jewish man. Though she’s at first determined to steer clear of dating until her conversion is confirmed, she and Samuel enter into a relationship. Within weeks, Ruth introduces Samuel to her children and meets his mother. When her lie of omission is revealed, Samuel feels betrayed; he breaks up with Ruth. Though she spirals afterwards, she’s also guided toward self-acceptance, discovery, and new love.Family is the central concern of the novel. Ruth’s drive to convert is propelled by her need to create a stable foundation for her children. Her Orthodox community adheres to the tenet of matrilineal descent, though, and Ruth, who was adopted, doesn’t know her mother or her mother’s history. By contrast, Samuel’s roots are easy to trace; born to Spanish Jewish parents, he can tell their love story from the Spanish Civil War to the present.The push and pull between the clarity of Samuel’s roots and the obscurity of Ruth’s is a major conflict, both in the couple’s relationship and within the book. Ruth is surrounded by people who are sure of themselves and their places in their community; they know where they came from. By contrast, she uses her work, the ritual of the Jewish calendar, and her romance with Samuel to distract herself from her lack of knowledge about her family. Throughout, Ruth is compelling because of her flaws. She’s undisciplined when it comes to romance, but she loves her children and is fierce in protecting them. Her choices are not always correct, but she owns them when they cause trouble. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ora Murphy.

    Palermo: A Place to Die , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 176min
    It all started with a horse race in picturesque Palermo, Sicily, but this wasn’t your typical race with rules designed to protect the horses, jockeys, and bettors; this was a Mafia-sponsored street race, a blood sport free-for-all more suited for the Coliseum than the backstreets of the Sicilian town.Race promoter Santos Luzzato, nephew to Nicky the Mushroom Fungo, wanted in on his American uncle’s horse-racing connections with the LA triads. The race leads to a series of decisions that end with a suspicious car accident that kills billionaire heiress and race horse owner Josephine Somersby Murphy, sister to the governor of California Samuel Somersby, a man with presidential ambitions and ties to Johnny Luck, LA triad big shot.Love, sex, murder, and race horses create a toxic mix of intrigue and suspense that drives Luck’s protégé Jesse James to Sicily, Argentina, England, and Switzerland in her pursuit of the truth.Who killed Josephine Murphy? Was it Luzzato, Nicky Fungo, Murphy’s brother, the governor, or was it someone closer to Jesse? Palermo, a place to die. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Douglas M. Hayden.
