• The Swiss Summer by Stella Gibbons

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

• Brightly Shining by Caroline Waight, Ingvild Rishøi

  https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/818056 to listen full audiobooks. 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.

• [French] - La nostalgie heureuse by Amélie Nothomb

  https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/817168 to listen full audiobooks. Title: [French] - La nostalgie heureuse Author: Amélie Nothomb Narrator: Violaine Fumeau Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 2 minutes Release date: November 7, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Je plonge dans la foule. Tout ce qui la traverse me traverse. (…) Je voudrais que cela ne s'arrête pas. Je suis une aspirine effervescente qui se dissout dans Tokyo. A. N.Cela faisait seize ans qu'Amélie Nothomb n'était pas retournée au Japon, son pays natal qu'elle n'a cessé d'imaginer, de réinventer. Sous sa plume et dans son cœur, il était devenu fiction. Mais dans ce récit autobiographique, tout se veut réel. L'auteur de Stupeur et tremblements retrouve des lieux, des êtres qui ont compté (Nishio-san, sa nounou adorée, Rinri, l'amoureux éconduit de ses 20 ans), nous raconte ses émotions, ses impressions. Elle évoque aussi ses rapports avec la langue apprise dans son enfance, puis oubliée. Et laisse, sans crainte ni regrets, remonter les souvenirs…Un texte qui touche juste parce qu'il est fragile. Une douce célébration des trajectoires, de la trace, de l'oubli et du ressouvenir. Nils C. Ahl, Le Monde des livres.
