  In a German Pension - 13 Stories

  'One cannot go about in a German pension without coming to the conclusion that life is very full of mysterious things.'
  
  First published in 1911, In a German Pension is the first collection of short stories from one of the modernist masters of the form, Katherine Mansfield.
  
  Written during Mansfield's stay in Bad Wörishofen after her unfortunate marriage and subsequent miscarriage, the stories in this emotionally acute collection offer sharp, satirical observations of German society, noting everything from proper etiquette to gender role expectations and the repression of women. Taking place within a boarding house, each story centres around a semi-autobiographical female figure. Mansfield expertly explores themes such as cultural misunderstandings and the absurdity of societal conventions, all told through what would become her trademark dry humour and nuanced critique. This audiobook edition is brilliantly brought to life by Eve Karpf.
  Katherine Mansfield (1888 – 1923) was a New Zealand writer and critic. She was an important figurehead of the modernist movement, befriending the likes of Virginia Woolf and D. H. Lawrence amongst others. Her works regularly explored themes such as sexuality, religion and existentialism, and have been translated into twenty-five different languages across the world.

  Jonas Schwartz isn't just good at playing football. He's also good at playing hearts, and four years ago, he played mine like it was the easiest game of his life. 
   
   
   
  Brokenhearted, I ran off to art school, swearing to forget about my one-off secret weekend with the star quarterback. 
   
   
   
  I'd heard whispers about his injury, but I never expected Jonas to return to our hometown to rehab his knee, and I certainly never thought he'd show up on the other side of my door with a pizza in hand. 
   
   
   
  He looks good. Better than before. 
   
   
   
  Whatever—I'm over him. I've completely moved on. 
   
   
   
  I just wish my heart would get the memo . . .

  Siren's Lullaby Over Sapphire...

  Over the sapphire waves of Marinus, where sirens' lullabies weave illusions from foam and ocean guardians patrol the abyssal trenches, siren Liora sings a forbidden melody that saves storm-tossed sailor Rhys from drowning—binding their souls in a bond of salt and thunder. Exiled from her pod for consorting with surface folk, Liora's lullaby awakens Rhys's latent storm magic, drawing the wrath of kraken lords and envious tide witches. As they sail treacherous maelstroms and dive into bioluminescent grottos, their love uncovers a submerged siren pact that could soothe the seas' rage or unleash tidal cataclysms. Pursued by harpoon-wielding hunters and spectral waves, they must harmonize lullaby and storm to reclaim a lost conch of calm. In the heart of sapphire depths, where every wave carries a siren's sigh and every storm hides a sailor's dream, their bond becomes the melody that tames the untamed ocean.
