Title: [Spanish] - Fever Fiebre (Spanish edition): Una novela sobre Mary Tifoidea Author: Mary Beth Keane Narrator: Georgia Tancabel Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 56 minutes Release date: April 28, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: En vísperas del siglo XX, Mary Mallon emigró de Irlanda a los quince años para abrirse paso en Nueva York. Valiente, obstinada y soñando con ser cocinera, luchó por ascender desde el escalón más bajo de la escala de servicio doméstico. Astuta y emprendedora, se metió en la cocina y descubrió que poseía el talento de un verdadero chef. Buscada por la aristocracia de Nueva York, y con una independencia poco frecuente para una mujer de la época, parecía haber logrado la vida que pretendía cuando llegó a Castle Garden. Luego de eso, un «ingeniero médico» muy resuelto, notó que ella dejaba un rastro de enfermedad dondequiera que cocinara, y la identificó como una «portadora asintomática» de fiebre tifoidea. Con esta teoría aparentemente ridícula, hizo de Mallon una mujer perseguida. El Departamento de Salud la envió a North Brother Island, donde la mantuvieron aislada de 1907 a 1910, y luego fue liberada bajo la condición de que nunca más trabajara como cocinera. Sin embargo, para Mary, que estaba orgullosa de su posición social anterior y era una apasionada de la cocina, las alternativas eran detestables. Entonces desafió el edicto. La novela revive los comienzos del siglo XX en Nueva York: los barrios, los bares, el parque forjado en el alto Manhattan, el tráfico de botes, las mansiones, los talleres clandestinos y los rascacielos emergentes. Fiebre es un relato ambicioso de una vida olvidada. En la imaginación de Mary Beth Keane, Mary Mallon se convierte en una heroína cautivante, dramática, desconcertante, comprensiva, intransigente e inolvidable.

Cussy’s not only a book woman, however; she’s also the last of her kind, her skin a shade of blue unlike most anyone else. Not everyone is keen on Cussy’s family or the Library Project, and a Blue is often blamed for any whiff of trouble.

Inspired by the true blue-skinned people of Kentucky and the brave and dedicated Kentucky Pack Horse library service of the 1930s, The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek is a story of raw courage, fierce strength, and one woman’s belief that books can carry us anywhere―even back home.

Title: Make Me a City: A Novel Author: Jonathan Carr Narrator: Fred Berman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 20 minutes Release date: March 19, 2019 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: A propulsive debut of visionary scale, Make Me a City embroiders fact with fiction to tell the story of Chicago's 19th century, tracing its rise from frontier settlement to industrial colossus. The tale begins with a game of chess—and on the outcome of that game hinges the destiny of a great city. From appalling injustice springs forth the story of Chicago, and the men and women whose resilience, avarice, and altruism combine to generate a moment of unprecedented civic energy. A variety of irresistible voices deliver the many strands of this novel: those of Jean Baptiste Pointe de Sable, the long-unheralded founder of Chicago; John Stephen Wright, bombastic speculator and booster; and Antje Hunter, the first woman to report for the Chicago Tribune. The stories of loggers, miners, engineers, and educators teem around them and each claim the narrative in turns, sharing their grief as well as their delight. As the characters, and their ancestors, meet and part, as their possessions pass from hand to hand, the listener realizes that Jonathan Carr commands a grand picture, one that encompasses the heartaches of everyday lives as well as the overarching ideals of what a city and a society can and should be. Make Me a City introduces us to a novelist whose talent and ambition are already fully formed.

All Oksana wants is to be as far away from her family as possible, to have friends, and to be normal—and though she constantly tries to do the right thing, she keeps getting in trouble.   As she grows up, she continues to misbehave, from somewhat accidentally maiming the school-bus bully, to stealing the much-coveted key to New York City’s Gramercy Park, to falling in love with a married man. After her grandmother moves back to Ukraine, Oksana longs for the motherland that looms large in her imagination but is a country she never really knew.   When she visits her grandmother in Yalta and learns about her romantic past, Oksana comes to a new understanding of how to live without causing harm to the people she loves. But will Oksana ever quite learn to behave? Praise for Oksana, Behave! “Tragicomic and bittersweet . . . an immigrant's coming-of-age tale done with brio.”—Kirkus Reviews “What luck for readers that Oksana can’t behave! Little devil, infinite imbecile, poor futureless child—all the names her displaced, loving family give to her as she crashes and burns and wanders the wilderness of her inheritance, fit perfectly. As outrageous as she is, as funny and as awful as she can be, though, in Oksana, Maria Kuznetsova has also created a character of great passion and depth—of tragedy, even, too—the very sort that populate the stories of Chekhov and Tolstoy, the poems of Anna Akhmatova, and all the other Russian writers Oksana looks to for comfort and company and some sort of bearing in this absurd world. This novel is a stark, hilarious delight.”—Paul Harding, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Tinkers

Told in alternating viewpoints—Max in the years leading up to WWII, and Hanna in the ten years after—In Another Time is a beautiful novel about love and survival, passion and music, across time and continents.

Bush years—amid the twin catastrophes of the Iraq insurgency and Hurricane Katrina—Landfall brings Thomas Mallon's cavalcade of contemporary American politics, which began with Watergate and continue with Finale, to a vivid and emotional climax.
