"Über die Verstrickungen von Vergangenheit, Erbe und Verantwortung: Als der Egomane Philip Brooke stirbt, kommen seine Kinder Frannie, Milo und Isa für fünf Tage auf dem gewaltigen Familienanwesen in Sussex zusammen. Haupterbin Frannie hat hier vor Jahren die Führung übernommen. Sie will die Ländereien renaturieren und für ihre siebenjährige Tochter eine Zukunft schaffen. Doch der unstete Milo hat andere Pläne - und den Segen seines Vaters dafür. Isa kämpft gegen innere Dämonen, sie hat die Tochter von Philips langjähriger Geliebter zur Beerdigung eingeladen. Und die kennt das wahre Erbe der Brookes aus den Zeiten des Empire. Eine fesselnde Geschichte mit Schubkraft: Wo wir uns treffen von Anna Hope ist ein meisterlich komponierter Familienroman über die Beziehungen, die uns für immer prägen, über ererbten Besitz und historische Verantwortung - feinsinnig, klug und packend bis zum Schluss. Das HörErlebnis wird außergewöhnlich empathisch von Julia Meier gesprochen."
"In a spellbinding narrative of sacrifice and survival, chaos and connection, four characters are caught up in the tides of history over three centuries and drawn to the sacred White Rock of San Blas off the coast of Mexico.
In 2020 an Englishwoman travels to give thanks for her child, a singer in 1969 runs from the law, from his rabid fans and an America burning with the fever of the Vietnam War, two Yoeme sisters are torn from their homeland at the start of the twentieth century, and in 1775 a Spanish Lieutenant prepares to set sail from the White Rock to continue the conquest of the Pacific coast.
The White Rock is a breathtaking novel about what happens when the stories we have lived by can no longer keep us safe."
"Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Expectation by Anna Hope, read by Vinette Robinson.
Hannah, Cate and Lissa are young, vibrant and inseparable. Living on the edge of a common in East London, their shared world is ablaze with art and activism, romance and revelry – and the promise of everything to come. They are electric. They are the best of friends.
Ten years on, they are not where they hoped to be. Amidst flailing careers and faltering marriages, each hungers for what the others have. And each wrestles with the same question: what does it take to lead a meaningful life?
EXPECTATION is a novel of the highs and lows of friendship – how it can dip, dive and rise again. It is also about finding your way: as a mother, a daughter, a wife, a rebel. Most of all, it explores that liminal space between expectation and reality, the place – full of dreams, desires and pain – in which we all live our lives."
"By the acclaimed author of WAKE:
Where love is your only escape ....
1911: Inside an asylum at the edge of the Yorkshire moors,
where men and women are kept apart
by high walls and barred windows,
there is a ballroom vast and beautiful.
For one bright evening every week
they come together
and dance.
When John and Ella meet
It is a dance that will change
two lives forever.
Set over the heatwave summer of 1911, the end of the Edwardian era, THE BALLROOM is a tale of unlikely love and dangerous obsession, of madness and sanity, and of who gets to decide which is which."
"Five Days in November, 1920:
As the body of the Unknown Soldier makes its way home from the fields of Northern France, three women are dealing with loss in their own way: Hettie, who dances for sixpence a waltz at the Hammersmith Palais; Evelyn, who toils at a job in the pensions office, and Ada, a housewife who is beset by visions of her dead son. One day a young man comes to her door. He carries with him a wartime mystery that will bind these women together and will both mend and tear their hearts.
A portrait of three intertwining lives caught at the faultline between empire and modernity, Wake captures the beginnings of a new era, and the day the mood of the nation changed for ever"
