  Betrayal wears a mask of duty, and forbidden passion demands the ultimate sacrifice in Tolstoy's epic masterpiece. 
  In the sweeping continuation of this timeless saga, the fallout of Anna's illicit confession reverberates across Russia. Alexey Alexandrovitch Karenin, desperate to maintain his immaculate societal facade, coldly calculates his revenge without shedding a single drop of blood. Instead of a duel or a scandalous divorce, he sentences his wife to a torturous prison of outward propriety. Meanwhile, deep in the country, a heartbroken Konstantin Levin seeks refuge in the exhausting, rhythmic labor of the peasant fields. But just as he vows to renounce the superficialities of the aristocracy forever, a fleeting, dawn-lit glimpse of his lost love, Kitty, shatters his newfound resolve and pulls him back into the agonizing labyrinth of human desire. 
  Why you will love this audiobook:This cornerstone of Classic Literature masterfully intertwines grand societal critique with intimate psychological depth. Fans of sweeping historical fiction, tragic romances, and vintage philosophical tales will be utterly captivated by this iconic story of morality, societal expectations, and unbridled love. Tolstoy's lush prose and profound exploration of the human condition make this an essential, unforgettable listen. 
  About the Author:Graf Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910) is widely considered one of the greatest novelists in the history of world literature. A Russian aristocrat who later embraced a radical philosophy, his unparalleled realism and psychological insight forever changed the literary landscape.

  Emer Martin's is a radical, vital voice in Irish writing, as she challenges the history of silence, institutional lies, evasion and the mistreatment of women across mid-to-late twentieth-century Ireland.
  
  
  Two families inhabit this immersive polyvocal work, an intergenerational saga announced with The Cruelty Men (2018) and continued here as punk rockers and Magdalene laundries spiral into a post-colonial Ireland still haunted by its tribal undertow. Scenes surface from Ireland's mythological past, Tudor plantations, workhouses and industrial schools, the Troubles laid bare, the transformative pre-digital decades playing out in this propulsive narrative. Thirsty Ghosts is epic in scope while intimate in focus.
  
  
  The Lyons, professionals in a newly independent state, are attacked by paramilitaries in their family home in Tyrone. The eccentric O'Conaills of Kerry, traumatized by displacement, find themselves in leafy Dublin 4. We encounter a servant who meets Henry VIII, a Lithuanian Jewish family who become part of the fabric of Dublin, and a wild young girl who escapes the laundry only to stumble into a psycho pimp.
  
  
  Related with dark humour, verve and high literary style, Thirsty Ghosts is a revelatory exploration of Ireland combining themes of power, class, fertility, violence and deep love, forces as universal as the old stories that permeate and illuminate each character's life.

  Far Creek Road - A Novel

  “With the charming and very funny Tink, Krueger has created an unforgettable character whose innocent curiosity busts through the societal conventions of early 1960s Canada. This is a masterful depiction of an atmosphere tense with fear and fuelled by grownup transgressions, where adult morality is contaminated by politics that tear communities apart.” — Sheila Murray, author of Finding Edward
  		 
  It’s 1961, and Mary Alice (Tink) Parker lives with her parents in a Vancouver suburb where many fathers are traumatized veterans of the Second World War and almost all the mothers are housewives. They believe they’ve earned secure and prosperous lives after the sacrifices they made during the war. But under the conformist veneer seethe conflicts and secrets that make the serenity of Grouse Valley precarious.
  		 
  This is the story of the unravelling of a neighbourhood. It’s told by Tink, an eccentric child who is funny, observant, and impossibly nosy, who has an unnerving tendency to blurt whatever’s on her mind. Bucolic at first, the story darkens as McCarthy-era paranoia infects the adults and spills over into the lives of the children. The parents of Tink’s best friend Norman are schoolteachers with leftist beliefs. When the Cuban Missile Crisis threatens, Norman’s parents face a witch hunt while the boy becomes a target of bullies. Tink does her best to defend Norman. But as she looks for help, she stumbles on a web of secrets that triggers events beyond anyone’s control. Gripping and perceptive, the novel portrays a divided era with eerie similarities to our own.
