  This program includes a bonus conversation between the author and editor.Volodymyr Zelensky captivated the world when his country was invaded by Russia in February 2022. His appearances were accompanied by countless inspiring statements. But there's a single one that informs Unlocking Your Inner Zelensky: "We are all simple people."Jessie Kanzer sees Zelensky as a Spiritual Leader for Our Times. As a native Russian speaker (like Zelensky himself), she picks up on the deep philosophical ramifications behind his words. Rich and yet easily understood, the life lessons in Unlocking Your Inner Zelensky are accessible and wise, and are more about starting where you are than about war.Kanzer herself has a bit part in Zelensky's life story, acting in one of his movies filmed in the States. She's a self-described "spiritual nerd" who followed Zelensky long before he stood before a blue and yellow backdrop on the national stage. She writes, "What is so incredible about our man Volodymyr is that his belief in himself stems not from seeing himself as special, but from seeing himself as ordinary and from knowing there is great power in this ordinariness."A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press Essentials.

  The charming, funny successor to the hugely popular ‘Notes to my Mother-in-Law’, from the inimitable Phyllida Law. 
  Following Phyllida Law’s wonderful and acclaimed ‘Notes to my Mother-in-Law’ – which comically and tenderly documented the author’s relationship with her husband’s mother who lived with the family for 17 years – we now have a chronicle of Phyllida’s relationship with her own mother who suffered from dementia. Recently widowed, bringing up her own two daughters (actresses Emma and Sophie Thompson) and working as a successful actress herself, Phyllida went up and down to Scotland to spend as much time with her ailing mother as she could manage. During the period she kept a lively and frank journal noting many of the sad yet funny examples of her mother’s faltering grip on reality. The journal includes reminiscences of her own childhood and the tragic death of her only brother. 
  This book promises to be just as warm and moving as her first and will also be beautifully enhanced by the author’s illustrations. 
  In her Sunday Times bestselling book, How Many Camels Are There in Holland?, Phyllida Law offers a deeply personal and moving account of her life. This top autobiography is a testament to her resilience, her love for her family, and her dedication to her craft. 
  For fans of Nina Stibbe (Went to London, Took the Dog), William Miller (Gloucester Crescent), Alan Bennett (Enough Said), India Knight (The Goodness of Dogs), and Maggie O'Farrell (I Am, I Am, I Am).

  A mesmerizing case from H. B. Irving’s A Book of Remarkable Criminals: the rise and ruin of Antoine François Derues, the smooth‑smiling Parisian grocer who posed as a nobleman to seize an estate—and left a trail of fraud, poison, and audacious disguise. With a dramatist’s eye for motive and method, Irving follows Derues as he charms the de Lamotte family, forges fortunes, spirits away bodies in trunks, impersonates his victim in another city, and faces a relentless investigation and a harrowing public execution. Part social history, part courtroom thriller, this classic true‑crime profile lays bare the vanity, piety, and cold calculation behind one of 18th‑century France’s most infamous poisoners. 
   
  Todd Richards narrates with crisp, steady suspense, immersing you in salons, wine cellars, and courtrooms as the net tightens. Perfect for listeners of historical crime, legal history, and immersive nonfiction storytelling.
