Quentins, Hörbuch, Digital, 358min
Every table at Quentins Restaurant has a thousand stories to tell: tales of love, betrayal and revenge. Ella Brady wants to make a documentary about the renowned Dublin restaurant that has captured the spirit of a generation and a city in the years it has been open. In Maeve Binchy's magical Quentins, you will meet new friends and old: the twins from Scarlet Feather , the signora from Evening Class, Ria from Tara Road - and a host of fresh faces. There is Monica, the ever-cheerful Australian waitress, and Blouse Brennan, whose simplicity disguises a sharp mind and a heart of gold. Presiding over Quentins are Patrick and Brenda Brennan, who have made Quentins such a legend. But even they have a story and a sadness which is hidden from the public gaze. As Ella uncovers more of what has gone on, she wonders about the wisdom of bringing it to the screen. Should the restaurant keep its secrets? Language: English. Narrator: Kate Binchy.

Kress, Hörbuch, Digital, 358min
Ein moderner Werther auf Stolperkurs. Die Welt ist eine Zumutung, jedenfalls für Kress. Wohin er sieht: Mittelmaß. Einzig die Universität ist ein erträglicher Ort, dort studiert Kress Goethe, Kleist, Kant, eben was im 19. Jahrhundert Rang und Namen hatte. Nach dieser glanzvollen Epoche ging es steil bergab, für Kress bis nach Berlin-Neukölln. Dort lebt er in einer unsanierten Hinterhofwohnung und führt philosophische Gespräche mit dem Tauberich Gieshübler. Doch dann geschieht etwas Unvorhergesehenes: Kress verliebt sich. Und muss auf einmal mitmachen, was seine Altersgenossen lieben - Partys, Small Talk, Ausflüge. Sein Scheitern ist grandios... deutsch.

Against a backdrop of Russian mobsters and corrupt lawyers, Butch and Marlene are on a mission to restore the system's lost dignity and bring the rapists to justice. All the while terrorists are at it again, planning to blow the roof off Times Square on New Year's Eve.

Defiant , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 358min
Defiant, by Sabrina York - book four in the steamy Regency Noble Passions Series. When rakish Ned falls in with the wrong crowd, his brother decides to send him to the Continent for "seasoning". For Sophia, this just won't do. She's loved Ned for ages - and also longed for adventure. She runs away from her boring suitors and disguises herself as a cabin boy on the Defiant, the ship sailing Ned to Italy. Ned knows he's not good enough for Sophia, but once they're on the Defiant, he can't stop himself from touching her, tasting her, loving her. Not when a wild tempest and a band of ruthless pirates threaten them. Not when every look from her gives him such pleasure. And certainly not when she comes, warm and wild and willing, to his bed. If they survive their voyage, Sophia's brother might kill him, but it will have been worth every moment and every hot, sweet kiss. 2015 Passionate Plume Finalist ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Collectors, Hörbuch, Digital, 358min
The U.S. Speaker of the House is assassinated in a terrifyingly precise execution in the heart of Washington, D.C. In a quieter corner of the nation's capital, the rare book room of the Library of Congress, a reclusive, wealthy scholar drops dead under mysterious circumstances that leave no clues. Following on the heels of the natural death of the Speaker of the House, the city and the nation begin to tremble. In California, a beautiful but capable woman is planning and executing one of the most brilliant cons on record.

Sight , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 358min
Long-listed for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2018 The extraordinary first novel from the author of the prize-winning An Account of the Decline of the Great Auk, According to One Who Saw It. It seemed, at times, an act of profound selfishness to have a child so that I might become a parent; but selfish, too, to have a child and stay the same, or not to have one - unless the only honest choice would have been to try to become this kinder version of myself without the need to bring another into it.... In Sight a woman recounts her progress to motherhood while remembering the death of her own mother and the childhood summers she spent with her psychoanalyst grandmother. Woven among these personal recollections are significant events in medical history: Wilhelm Rontgen's discovery of the X-ray and his production of an image of his wife's hand; Sigmund Freud's development of psychoanalysis and the work that he did with his daughter, Anna; John Hunter's attempts to set surgery on a scientific footing and his work, as a collaborator with his brother William and the artist Jan van Rymsdyk, on the anatomy of pregnant bodies. What emerges is the realisation that while the search for understanding might not lead us to an absolute truth, it is an end in itself. Wonderfully intelligent, brilliantly written, and deeply moving, Sight is a novel about how we see others and how we might know ourselves. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lucy Paterson.

A tense cat-and-mouse game and a brilliantly realised story of hope in a seemingly hopeless place. Percy is 16 and used to her mama disappointing her. But this time her mama's been gone for nine days, and she's been seen up at Shelton Potter's farmhouse. Which can only mean she's strung out on meth again, and who knows when she'll be back. A blizzard rolls in, and Percy jumps in her pickup and sets off for the farmhouse. She finds Shelton and a woman passed out on the floor, sleeping off the latest binge. But no sign of her mama. Percy heads upstairs and finds a neglected baby girl in urgent need of care and attention. Percy knows she has no choice. She has to take the baby and get her to a hospital as soon as she can. But the blizzard shows no sign of stopping, and soon her pickup is snowed in. Now she's on foot, and before long two-bit criminal Shelton wakes up and heads out with four of his associates, on the hunt for whoever has taken the baby.... Taut, darkly humorous and told in Percy's unflinching voice, Sweetgirl is a moving exploration of courage and sacrifice that is horrifying, tender, and hopeful. ungekürzt. Language: English.
