Isadora: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 648min
Using the scaffolding of Isadora Duncan's life and the stuff of her spirit, Amelia Gray delivers an incredibly imaginative portrait of the artist. In 1913 the restless world sat on the brink of unimaginable suffering. But for one woman, the darkness of a new era had already made itself at home. Isadora Duncan would come to be known as the mother of modern dance, but in the spring of 1913 she was a grieving mother after a freak accident in Paris resulted in the drowning deaths of her two young children. The accident cracked Isadora's life in two: on one side the brilliant young talent who captivated audiences the world over, on the other a heartbroken mother spinning dangerously on the edge of sanity. Isadora is a shocking and visceral portrait of an artist and woman drawn to the brink of destruction by the cruelty of life. In her breakout audiobook, Amelia Gray offers a relentless portrayal of a legendary artist churning through prewar Europe. Isadora seeks to obliterate the mannered portrait of a dancer and to introduce the listener to a woman who lived and loved without limits, even in the darkest days of her life. ungekürzt.

The Pearly Queen , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 648min
The Pearly Queen was really Aunt Edie. She was 39, had a good job in a factory, lived in a flat off Camberwell Green and had never married. Her fiancé had drowned in the Thames when she was a girl, and since then she had been on her own, though not from choice. Everyone loved Aunt Edie - but especially the Andrews family.Jack Andrews was having a tough time. He'd come back from the First World War to find his wife had 'got religion'. She'd got it so badly that she finally went off, left Jim and the three children and joined Father Peter's League of Repenters. She never really came home again. Jack and the children managed as best they could, but things were pretty tough when Aunt Edie turned up. The first thing she did was give her cousin, Maud Andrews, a piece of her mind for running off and leaving her family. But when that didn't do any good, Edie moved in and took over the Andrews family. For the first time in years life began to look good again. Aunt Edie was warm, generous, kind and, above all, she was their very own Pearly Queen. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jilly Bond.

Starke Frau, was nun?, Hörbuch, Digital, 648min
Starke Frau, was nun? Lisa ist emanzipiert, erfolgreich und jung, verabscheut Machos, Autos sowie Fleisch, und verspürt keine Skrupel, ihre Meinung lautstark an den Mann zu bringen -der wahren Geißel der Menschheit. Dazu hat sie einen tollen Job vorzuweisen, ein zwangloses Verhältnis zu Robert, aber auch genügend Freizeit, sich politisch zu engagieren. So weit, so gut...Dann taucht jedoch der Schönling Chris aus dem amerikanischen Exil auf, der sämtliche ihr verhassten Klischees erfüllt, zudem Emanzen, Fahrräder und Vegetarier für einen echten Witz hält, und ständig seine empörenden Ansichten an die Frau - vorzugsweise Lisa - bringen muss. Einer lebenslang begeisterten und abgrundtiefen Abneigung der beiden steht also absolut nichts im Wege. Wäre da nicht der leicht verstörende Umstand, dass sie sich zumindest in einem Belang sogar atemberaubend gut verstehen… Eine spritzige Romanze mit einem winzigen Hauch Satire... deutsch.
