The Shiralee , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 542min
A true Australian classic, warmly welcomed into the Bolinda Classics range. A shiralee is a swag, a burden, a bloody millstone - and that's what four-year-old Buster is to her father, Macauley. He takes the child on the road with him to spite his wife, but months pass and still no word comes to ask for the little girl back.Strangers to each other at first, father and daughter drift aimlessly through the dusty towns of Australia, sleeping rough and relying on odd jobs for food and money. Buster's resilience and trust slowly erode Macauley's resentment, and when he's finally able to get rid of her, he realises he can't let his shiralee go. In evocative prose that vividly conjures images of rural Australia, The Shiralee reveals an understanding of the paradoxical nature of the burdens we carry and creates a moving portrait of fatherhood, told with gruff humour and a gentle pathos. ungekürzt.

Crescent Moon: A Thrilling Journey Into the Dark Depths of Retribution and Redemption : The Crescent Moon Saga, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 100min
Desensitized and detached from the worldly goods that fall before her, Mai finds herself in a position of great fortune and opportunity being raised as the only child in the respected Zhang family. Steeped in riches, albeit riches stained with blood, Mai finds it all too much to sacrifice her morality for the life of luxury. The sudden disappearance of her beloved grandfather, the constant presence of the Win Chun family and the ever growing threat of the Shadow Government conjures a story of eternal panic, mistrust and revenge as Mai begins to piece together her family’s true history. The story takes place in 1970s China; the backdrop is scenic and vivid; bustling marketplaces and sprawling metropolises. The contrast of this beautiful imagery is the dirt ridden underworld of crime bosses, hired thugs and crooked politicians. Follow Mai Zhang as she uses her affluent upbringing against her own family and traverses through the cold blooded grip the Shadow Government has on her way of life. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Barbara Cartland's Etiquette Handbook , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 408min
For the record, the word "parlour" is not used, nor is the relatively recent insidious "lounge", except about airports, hotels and liners.' 'Boys should be taught at a very early age - six or seven - to say "Sir" to an older man.' 'When there are servants, the plates for the first course are never put on the table until everyone is seated.'' I cannot stress too often that on every formal occasion, whether it is Luncheon, a Bazaar or a Meeting, a hat should be worn.' Written nearly 50 years ago, Barbara Cartland's Etiquette Handbook conjures up a period when addressing work colleagues by their first names was frowned upon, wives could expect to receive a weekly allowance of five shillings from their husbands, and hats were ubiquitous. Laced throughout with Barbara Cartland's wit and wisdom, and Francis Marshall's illustrations, this is a wonderfully evocative insight into the manners of an England that has largely disappeared. ungekürzt.

Vintage Saints and Sinners: 25 Christians Who Transformed My Faith , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 398min
Saints are people too. The word saint conjures up images of superstar Christians revered for their spectacular acts and otherworldly piety. But when we take a closer look at the lives of these spiritual heavyweights, we learn that they also experienced struggle, doubt, and heartache. In fact, we learn that in many ways they're not all that different from you and me. Narrating her own winding pilgrimage through faith, Karen Marsh reveals surprising lessons in everyday spirituality from these "saints" - folks who lived and breathed, and failed and followed God. Told with humor and vulnerability, Vintage Saints and Sinners introduces us afresh to 25 brothers and sisters who challenge and inspire us with their honest faith. Join Karen on her journey with the likes of Augustine, Brother Lawrence, and Saint Francis, as well as Amanda Berry Smith, Søren Kierkegaard, Dorothy Day, Howard Thurman, Flannery O'Conner, and many more. Let their lives and their wisdom be an invitation to authentic life in Christ. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ann Richardson.

Byron Easy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1211min
It's 24 December 1999. Byron Easy, a poverty-stricken poet, half-cut and suicidal, sits on a stationary train at King's Cross waiting to depart. He has in his lap a bin-liner containing his remaining worldly goods - an empty bottle of red wine, a few books, a handful of crumpled banknotes. As the journey commences he conjures memories of the recent past, of his rollercoaster London life, and, most distressingly, of Mandy - his half-Spanish, Amazonian wife - in an attempt to make sense of his predicament. What has led him to this point? Where are his friends, his family, his wife? What happened to his dreams? And what awaits him at the end of his journey? Byron Easy is an epic, baroque sprawling monster of a novel, and a unique portrait of love and marriage, of the flux of memory, and of England in the dying days of the 20th century, from a young British writer of exceptional promise. ungekürzt.
