    When successful 29-year-old Manhattan attorney Emily Haxby ends her happy relationship just as her boyfriend is on the verge of proposing, she can’t explain to even her closest friends why she did it. Somewhere beneath her sense of fun, her bravado, and her independent exterior, Emily knows that her breakup with Andrew has less to do with him and more to do with...her.  As the holiday season looms and Emily contemplates whether she made a huge mistake, the rest of her world begins to unravel: she is assigned to a multimillion-dollar lawsuit where she must defend the very values she detests by a boss who can’t keep his hands to himself; her Grandpa Jack, a charming, feisty octogenarian and the person she cares most about in the world, is losing it, while her emotionally distant father has left her to cope with this alone; and underneath it all, fading memories of her deceased mother continue to remind her that love doesn’t last forever.How this brave, original young heroine finally decides to take control of her life and face the fears that have long haunted her is the great achievement of Julie Buxbaum’s marvelous first novel.  ungekürzt.

    An Irish Country Girl: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 619min
    Readers of Patrick Taylor's books know Mrs. Kinky Kincaid as the unflappable housekeeper who looks after two frequently frazzled doctors in the colourful Irish village of Ballybucklebo. She is a trusted fixture in the lives of those around her, and it often seems as though Kinky has always been there. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Some 40-odd years before and many miles to the south, the girl who would someday be Kinky Kincaid was Maureen O'Hanlon, a farmer's daughter growing up in the emerald hills and glens of County Cork. A precocious girl on the cusp of womanhood, Maureen has a head full of dreams, a heart open to romance, and something more: a gift for seeing beyond the ordinary into the mystic realm of fairies, spirits, and even the dreaded Banshee, whose terrifying wail she first hears on a snowy night in 1922. As she grows into a young woman, Maureen finds herself torn between love and her fondest aspirations, for the future is a mystery even for one blessed with the sight. Encountering both joy and sorrow, Maureen at last finds herself on the road to Ballybucklebo---and the strong and compassionate woman she was always destined to become. An Irish Country Girl is another captivating tale by Patrick Taylor, a true Irish storyteller. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Terry Donnelly.

    Als Tanja am Fenster saß: Ringelgasse 19, 4, Hörbuch, Digital, 49min
    Es hat geregnet. Der ganze Hof steht unter Wasser. Einzig das kleine Rasenstück unter dem Baum ist noch trocken - wie eine Insel im Ozean. Prompt sind die Kinder aus der Ringelgasse 19 auf einer einsamen Insel im weiten Meer gestrandet und versuchen, wieder nach Haus zu kommen. Auf einer einsamen Insel lauern aber auch Gefahren und dann wird es auch noch dunkel... Schließlich wird Hausmeister Wutz zum Retter, indem er kurzerhand das Meer ablässt... Mit einem Mal fällt ein Schuh vom Himmel. Einfach so und nur einer. Tanja und Tonja fällt sofort das Märchen vom Aschenputtel ein - nur dass das hier ein Herrenschuh ist und also keine Prinzessin gesucht wird, sondern bestimmt ein König. Wem der Schuh passt, der ist König. Tomek passt der Schuh und Tomek versucht, ein ganz großartiger König zu sein. Aber das ist schwer... sehr schwer. Tomek ist froh, als sich dann doch der Eigentümer des Schuhs meldet und Tomek kein König mehr sein muss... Willi ist ganz allein im Hof. Keiner kommt und spielt mit. Es sieht so aus, als ob alle schlechte Laune hätten - überall wird gestritten und gezankt. Selbst Pia hat schlechte Laune. Das gab es noch nie! Die Witwe Lüderitz meint, man bräuchte nur eine kleine Aufheiterung... Willi überlegt, wie er eine kleine Aufheiterung in die Ringelgasse 19 bringen kann und ihm fällt auch wirklich etwas ein... Tanja und Tonja ist es zu langweilig im Hof der Ringelgasse 19. Sie könnten doch alle mal rausgehen, raus in die Natur! Kein schlechter Gedanke und so verabreden sich alle zu einem Picknick im Wald. Schön ist es im Wald und ein bisschen unheimlich. Nach dem Picknick machen die Kinder aus der Ringelgasse 19 das, was sie immer machen - Fußballspielen und Seilspringen. Doch dann hören sie ein Geräusch... Tomek fragt sich: Warum haben die Kinder aus der Ringelgasse 19 eigentlich kein Baumhaus? Da ist ein Baum, der wirklich gut geeignet ist. Blitzschnell hat Tomek ein schickes Baumhaus aufgezeichnet. Aber wie sich herausstellt, deutsch. Thomas Karallus, Stefan Kaminski. https://samples.audible.de/bk/edel/001040/bk_edel_001040_sample.mp3.
