Brooklyn im Januar 2016: Während eines Schneesturms fährt Professor Richard Bowmaster mit seinem Wagen auf ein anderes Auto auf.

A special thank you to NetGalley, Atria, and Simon & Schuster Canada for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Three different people are brought together in an interesting premise that travels from present-day Brooklyn to Guatemala in the recent past to Chile and Brazil in the 1970s. The st...
I just looked at when I started this book and have to say it's really sad it took me this long to through in the towel.

This is written in a memoir style and is simply Allende's experience of her country. It's the way she remembe...
This is an astounding story that revolves around the life of Zarite, a slave on the island of Saint-Domingue.With a total length just under 18 hours, this is a bit more of an audiobook than I typically prefer to bite off, but the story is well worth the time it takes to read or listen to. It probabl...
