Nevermore

Rolf Boldrewood

Sinopse

In "Nevermore," Rolf Boldrewood masterfully weaves a narrative that explores the themes of loss, memory, and the haunting remnants of the past. Set against the backdrop of colonial Australia, the novel is characterized by its rich, descriptive prose and a keenly observed psychological depth that invites readers to reflect on their own experiences of grief and nostalgia. Boldrewood employs a blend of realism and romanticism, creating a tapestry of characters whose lives intertwine in a quest for understanding amidst personal and societal turmoil, making the book a significant work in the Australian literary canon of the late 19th century. Rolf Boldrewood, born Thomas Alexander Browne, was a prominent figure in Australian literature, known for his vivid depictions of the Australian landscape and his exploration of colonial life. His own experiences as a landowner and a participant in the Gold Rush informed his perspectives on social issues, which resonate through the pages of "Nevermore." The author's ability to reflect on both the beauty and the tragedy of the human condition stems from his multifaceted background and keen observational skills. I highly recommend "Nevermore" to readers interested in a profound exploration of the human experience. Boldrewood's insightful narrative and complex characterizations will resonate with those who appreciate literary works that navigate the intricate relationship between memory and identity. This novel stands as not just a gothic tale but as a reflective commentary on the enduring impact of the past.

Castle Gate - The Audiobook

Lisa Bonnice

Castle Gate isn’t just set in the past — it’s haunted by it.
Step back in time, and across the veil.
Castle Gate is a gorgeously researched, spiritually resonant historical novel rooted in genealogy and the lives lost in Utah’s 1924 Castle Gate Mine Disaster. Woven with ancestral voices and emotional truth, it brings to life what it meant to be an immigrant, a miner, a woman, or a child navigating the injustices of early 20th-century coal town America—where company scrip ruled, housing was tied to the job, and Prohibition-era secrets ran deep.
But this is more than a glimpse into the past.
It’s a story the dead have been waiting to tell—one of resilience, injustice, and the healing power of being witnessed across generations.
Weaving together meticulous research and her own ancestral lineage, award-winning author Lisa Bonnice channels a tale both personal and universal—blurring the line between history and mediumship. This is the kind of story that keeps you walking longer, driving slower, and listening deeper.
“… we don’t really die until someone says our name for the last time.”
✨ Narrated with wit and warmth by Scottish voice artist Eleanor Morton.
📎 Bonus PDF includes: archival photos, historical references, discussion guide, and a full list of the men lost in the Castle Gate disaster.
