    Ocean State
    When I was in eighth grade my sister helped kill another girl. From the striking opening line of Ocean State, the reader is thrust into the world of the murderer, Angel, and her family, and the victim, Birdy, as they plummet towards a conclusion both tragic and inevitable. Overarching it all is the testimony of Angel's younger sister Marie, who reflects back on the doomed autumn of 2009 with all the wisdom of hindsight. At its heart, the murder is a crime of passion - Angel and Birdy love the same teenage boy, frantically and single mindedly, and are compelled by the intensity of their feelings to extremes neither could have anticipated. O'Nan's expert hand paints a fully realized portrait of these women, but also weaves a compelling story of working-class life in Rhode Island, animating the banality of poverty. Propulsive, moving and deeply rendered, Ocean State is a masterful novel by one of the great storytellers of hard-scrabble America.

    The Beloveds , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 512min
    An exploration of domestic derangement, as sinister as Daphne Du Maurier's classic Rebecca, that plumbs the depths of sibling rivalry with wit and menace. Oh, to be a Beloved - one of those lucky people for whom nothing ever goes wrong. Everything falls into their laps without effort: happiness, beauty, good fortune, allure. Betty Stash is not a Beloved - but her little sister, the delightful Gloria, is. She's the one with the golden curls and sunny disposition and captivating smile, the one whose best friend used to be Betty's, the one whose husband should have been Betty's. And then, to everyone's surprise, Gloria inherits the family manse - a vast, gorgeous pile of ancient stone, imposing timbers, and lush gardens - that was never meant to be hers. Losing what Betty considers her rightful inheritance is the final indignity. As she single-mindedly pursues her plan to see the estate returned to her in all its glory, her determined and increasingly unhinged behavior - aided by poisonous mushrooms, talking walls, and a phantom dog - escalates to the point of no return. The Beloveds will have you wondering if there's a length to which an envious sister won't go. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Fiona Hardingham.
