Hum If You Don't Know the Words , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 865min

Perfect for fans of The Secret Life of Bees and The Help, a perceptive and searing look at Apartheid-era South Africa, told through one unique family brought together by tragedy. Life under Apartheid has created a secure future for Robin Conrad, a 10-year-old white girl living with her parents in 1970s Johannesburg. In the same nation but worlds apart, Beauty Mbali, a Xhosa woman in a rural village in the Bantu homeland of the Transkei, struggles to raise her children alone after her husband's death. Both lives have been built upon the division of race, and their meeting should never have occurred...until the Soweto Uprising, in which a protest by black students ignites racial conflict, alters the fault lines on which their society is built, and shatters their worlds when Robin's parents are left dead and Beauty's daughter goes missing. After Robin is sent to live with her loving but irresponsible aunt, Beauty is hired to care for Robin while continuing the search for her daughter. In Beauty, Robin finds the security and family that she craves, and the two forge an inextricable bond through their deep personal losses. But Robin knows that if Beauty finds her daughter, Robin could lose her new caretaker forever, so she makes a desperate decision with devastating consequences. Her quest to make amends and find redemption is a journey of self-discovery in which she learns the harsh truths of the society that once promised her protection. Told through Beauty's and Robin's alternating perspectives, the interwoven narratives create a rich and complex tapestry of the emotions and tensions at the heart of Apartheid-era South Africa. Hum If You Don't Know the Words is a beautifully rendered look at loss, racism, and the creation of family. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Katharine Lee McEwan, Bahni Turpin.

Here...Hold My Wine!: Robin's Practical and Impractical Guide to Life: Vintage 2019 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 273min

Okay, so you're checking out this book, and you're wondering if it’s any good. Well, I can tell you this much: If you ever find anyone who has been through as many things as I have and is still left standing, then you know I’m someone who can’t be stopped. I have had many people come to me and ask me how I became so successful in life. Well, I believe, it’s the "thought process" that got me to where I am today. Nothing stops me from achieving my dreams. So, now, you are thinking, “Is this is going to be one of those boring ‘self-help’ books that everyone writes?” Well, you are wrong, my friend. When you read or listen to my original stories, or should we call them, "real-life drama", the "things" that happen to me are almost unbelievable experiences anyone could have, and with such bad luck. Bad luck...is there such a thing? You know what they say about karma. I guess I have really pissed off someone along the way. So, should I tell you early on the crazy things that happen to me? Nah...I want you to listen to the book, so there you have it. But, I have always taken the bull by the horns, so to speak, and changed the direction in my life by having a certain thought process. By sharing my stories of life’s ups and downs, I will hopefully give you a guide to my overall thought process, how I tackled each and every obstacle, and the decisions I made to keep moving forward in the direction I wanted. Hopefully, you can apply the way I approached challenges to make your life better. Cheers! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rosie O'Toole.

The Spell , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 660min

The Spell is a comedy of sexual manners that follows the interlocking affairs of four men: Robin, an architect in his late 40s who is trying to build an idyllic life in Dorset with his younger lover, Justin; Robin's 22-year-old son, Danny, a volatile beauty who lives for clubbing and casual sex; and the shy Alex, who is Justin's ex-boyfriend. As each in turn falls under the spell of romance or drugs, country living or rough trade, a richly ironic picture emerges of the clashing imperatives of modern gay life. At once lyrical, sceptical and romantic, The Spell confirms Alan Hollinghurst as one of Britain's most important novelists.From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Line of Beauty. ungekürzt.
