In 'A Countess from Canada,' Bessie Marchant weaves an engaging narrative that combines elements of romance, adventure, and social commentary against the backdrop of early 20th-century society. The story follows the journey of a young Canadian woman who unexpectedly inherits a title in the English aristocracy, exploring themes of identity, class, and the cultural contrasts between Canada and Britain. Marchant's prose is characterized by vivid descriptions and a lively dialogue that brings to life the social mores of her time, reflecting the tensions and aspirations of a generation navigating a rapidly changing world. Bessie Marchant, an accomplished author known for her prolific output during the early 1900s, often drew upon her experiences and the societal issues of her day. Raised in a time of great change, she possessed a keen awareness of the roles and expectations placed upon women, which strongly influenced her writing.

'A Countess from Canada' is a captivating read for anyone interested in historical fiction, the complexities of social class, and the experience of women during this transformative period. Marchant's insightful portrayal of her protagonist's struggles is both timeless and poignant, making this novel a valuable addition to the canon of early feminist literature.

The audiobook follows Lale Sokolov, a young Jewish man who finds himself imprisoned in the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp, where survival is a daily struggle against brutality and despair. However, Lale’s story is not just about survival; it is about the power of love, resilience, and hope when faced with unimaginable horrors.
     
    Lale is chosen to become the tattooist of Auschwitz, a role that, while providing some semblance of safety, forces him to confront the dehumanizing nature of the camp. As he tattoos identification numbers onto fellow prisoners, Lale’s path crosses with that of Gita Furman, a fellow prisoner who becomes his source of hope and strength. Their relationship, born in the most dire of circumstances, becomes a beacon of love and connection in a world where both seem impossible.

    "A murder will occur tonight at Beecham House . . ." Who could resist such a compelling invitation? Of course, the murder in question purports to be a party game, and Phyllida looks forward to using some of the deductive skills she has acquired thanks to her employer, Mrs. Agatha, who is unable to attend in person. 
     
     
     
    The hosts, Mr. and Mrs. Wokesley, are new to the area, and Phyllida gladly offers their own overwhelmed housekeeper some guidance while events get underway. Family friends have been enlisted to play the suspects, and Mr. Wokesley excels in his role of dead body. Unfortunately, when the game's solution is about to be unveiled, the participants discover that life has imitated art. Mr. Wokesley really is dead! 
     
     
     
    In the absence of Inspector Cork, Phyllida takes temporary charge of the investigation, guiding the local constable through interviews with the Murder Game actors. At first, there seems no motive to want Mr. Wokesley dead . . . but then Phyllida begins to connect each of the suspects with the roles they played and the motives assigned to them. It soon becomes clear that everyone had a reason to murder their host—both in the game and in real life. Before long, Phyllida is embroiled in a fiendishly puzzling case, with a killer who refuses to play by the rules . . .

    In this melting pot, everyone must establish a life for themselves. The obstacles are many, but the future is still bright ...
