Title: Crooked Plow: A Novel Author: Itamar Vieira Junior Narrator: Soneela Nankani Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 25 minutes Release date: December 17, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: The prize-winning international bestseller—800,000 copies sold in Brazil Shortlisted for The International Booker Prize 2024 Longlisted for the Dublin Literary Award 'I heard our grandmother asking what we were doing.' 'Say something!' she demanded, threatening to tear out our tongues. Little did she know that one of us was holding her tongue in her hand. Deep in Brazil's neglected Bahia hinterland, two sisters find an ancient knife beneath their grandmother's bed and momentarily mystified by its power, decide to taste its metal. The shuddering violence that follows marks their lives and binds them together forever. Heralded as a new masterpiece, this fascinating and gripping story about the lives of subsistence farmers in Brazil's poorest region, three generations after the abolition of slavery, is at once fantastic and realist, covering themes of family, spirituality, slavery and its aftermath, and political struggle.

Title: The Swiss Summer Author: Stella Gibbons Narrator: Bronwen Price Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 36 minutes Release date: December 17, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Worn down by postwar London life, forty-something Lucy Cottrell finds herself accepting a surprise invitation to spend the summer at a Swiss chalet, accompanied by the very practical and undemonstrative Freda Blandish, whom she barely knows. The two are charged with inventorying the contents of the chalet, but distractions soon abound, first from Freda's slightly woebegone daughter Astra and her hoity-toity friend Kay, then from Lucy's godson Bertram and his friend Peter. Utta, the housekeeper, determined to prevent any changes to the chalet she loves, and a challenging paying guest add complications, as do clashing personalities, misunderstandings, and budding romance—not to mention a bit of Alpine climbing. Packed with good humor, lush scenery, and irresistible charm, The Swiss Summer, first published in 1951, is one of Stella Gibbons' most delightful novels. 'For holiday reading it would be hard to find anything better.' —Guardian

Title: I Make Envy on Your Disco: A Novel Author: Eric Schnall Narrator: Charlie Carver Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 52 minutes Release date: December 3, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Winner of the Barbara DiBernard Prize in Fiction 'A funny and moving debut.'—Charles Arrowsmith, The Washington Post “A love letter to Berlin, to travel, and to saying yes to life.”—Alan Cumming It’s the new millennium and the anxiety of midlife is creeping up on Sam Singer, a thirty-seven-year-old art advisor. Fed up with his partner and his life in New York, Sam flies to Berlin to attend a gallery opening. There he finds a once-divided city facing an identity crisis of its own. In Berlin the past is everywhere: the graffiti-stained streets, the candlelit cafés and techno clubs, the astonishing mash-up of architecture, monuments, and memorials. A trip that begins in isolation evolves into one of deep connection and possibility. In an intensely concentrated series of days, Sam finds himself awash in the city, stretched in limbo between his own past and future—in nightclubs with Jeremy, a lonely wannabe DJ; navigating a flirtation with Kaspar, an East Berlin artist he meets at a café; and engaged in a budding relationship with Magda, the enigmatic and icy manager of Sam’s hotel, whom Sam finds himself drawn to and determined to thaw. I Make Envy on Your Disco is at once a tribute to Berlin, a novel of longing and connection, and a coming-of-middle-age story about confronting the person you were and becoming the person you want to be.

• Brightly Shining by Caroline Waight, Ingvild Rishøi

Title: Brightly Shining Author: Caroline Waight, Ingvild Rishøi Narrator: Jesse Vilinsky Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 58 minutes Release date: November 19, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Beautifully told with humor and tenderness, a Norwegian Christmas tale of sisterhood, financial hardship, and far-off dreams, acclaimed by reviewers and beloved by readers across Europe, where it has been a major bestseller. Christmas is just around the corner, and Ronja and Melissa’s dreamer of a father is out of work again. When ten-year-old Ronja hears about a job at a Christmas tree stand near where the family lives in central Oslo, she thinks it might be the stroke of luck they all need. Soon, the fridge fills with food, and their father returns home with money in his pocket and a smile on his face. But one evening he disappears into the night under the pretense of buying Christmas gifts—and the daughters know he has gone to his favorite local pub, Stargate, and they come to terms with the fact that he may lose his wonderful new job. Melissa decides to take his place at the Christmas tree stand, working before and after school in the December afternoon dark, and brings along Ronja, who quickly charms all the middle-class customers. On rare breaks the sisters dream of a brighter place of kindness and plenty, and find help from some of those around them—but both understand that their family structure is a precarious one, and that they are going to need luck and strength to transcend their circumstances. Skillfully told, evoking the delight, misunderstandings, and innocence of a child’s voice, Brightly Shining is small in stature but with an outsize impact on the listener, and has all the markings of a magical modern classic.
