January 1946: London is emerging from the shadow of the Second World War, and writer Juliet Ashton is looking for her next book subject. Who could imagine that she would find it in a letter from a man she’s never met, a native of the island of Guernsey, who has come across her name written inside a book by Charles Lamb.... As Juliet and her new correspondent exchange letters, Juliet is drawn into the world of this man and his friends - and what a wonderfully eccentric world it is.

In this remarkable dual memoir, film legend Martin Sheen and accomplished actor/filmmaker Emilio Estevez recount their lives as father and son. In alternating chapters—and in voices that are as eloquent as they are different—they narrate stories spanning more than 50 years of family history, and reflect on their journeys into two different kinds of faith.

Emotional, inspirational, and truly worth listening to
Revisado: 07-28-24
Emotional, inspirational, and truly worth listening to. Highly recommended! A relatable story of unusual yet very normal family, a father and son relationship through different stages of life and contemporary historical time.

When Dorothy Day died in 1980, the New York Times eulogized her as “a nonviolent social radical of luminous personality...founder of the Catholic Worker Movement and leader for more than 50 years in numerous battles of social justice.” Here, in her own words, this remarkable woman tells of her early life as a young journalist in the crucible of Greenwich Village political and literary thought in the 1920s, and of her momentous conversion to Catholicism that meant the end of a Bohemian lifestyle and common-law marriage.

Moving and humbly. A life of a modern saint, human but perfected by love. To see beauty in everything. To see God in the faces of all men.

When Andrew McCarthy's eldest son began to take his first steps into adulthood, McCarthy found himself wishing time would slow down. Looking to create a more meaningful connection with Sam before he fled the nest, as well as recreate his own life-altering journey decades before, McCarthy decided the two of them should set out on a trek like few others: 500 miles across Spain's Camino de Santiago. Over the course of the journey, the pair traversed an unforgiving landscape, having more honest conversations in five weeks than they'd had in the preceding two decades.

Touching, humorous.

I got this as I prepare to walk the Camino. However, don’t expect tons of tips on how to avoid blisters and how to pack for the trip. Instead, allow yourself to enjoy their journey and glimpses of what to pack in life. Glad I found this book. Well done.

According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655, before she exploded), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner. So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan.

Polly has two sets of memories.... One is normal: school, home, friends. The other, stranger memories begin nine years ago, when she was 10 and gate-crashed an odd funeral in the mansion near her grandmother's house. Polly's just beginning to recall the sometimes marvelous, sometimes frightening adventures she embarked on with Tom Lynn after that. And then she did something terrible, and everything changed. But what did she do? Why can't she remember? Polly must uncover the secret, or her true love - and perhaps Polly herself - will be lost.

One of the best novels by DWJ! The twist and turns, and seemingly normal events would eventually make you want to read/re-listen again and again to get the clues! Enchanting story!

Heartwarming, thrilling, and totally enjoyable. Highly recommended for all ages. To see the wonders of the world and all that it offers and to be back home again, in the graveyard.
As always, a truly wonderful performance by Neil Gaiman.

Jose Rizal’s two novels Noli Me Tangere and its sequel El Filibusterismo are beloved classics in The Philippines. Here, they are read with characteristic flair by Academy-Award Nominee Richard E. Grant, who apart from his work in Film and TV, is well-loved by audiobook listeners. It might be fiction, but it is also Philippine history. Rizal travelled to Europe as a student and wrote these books there under difficult circumstances. His friends helped ship them back to Manila where the books were swiftly banned by the Spanish authorities.

Timeless story but needs different performer
Revisado: 01-03-23
Truly thrilling to have this book in Audible, thank you! The story is timeless, tragically published at the price of blood of our National hero, Jose Rizal. A must read/listen for everyone.
My only complaint is the performance. I wish it was read and performed by a Filipino, Spanish, or someone who can pronounce well the words in Filipino and Spanish.

In the COVID crisis, the beloved shepherd of over one billion Catholics saw the cruelty and inequity of our society exposed more vividly than ever before. He also saw, in the resilience, generosity, and creativity of so many people, the means to rescue our society, our economy, and our planet. In direct, powerful prose, Pope Francis urges us not to let the pain be in vain.

Maria Ressa is one of the most renowned international journalists of our time. For decades, she challenged corruption and malfeasance in her native country, the Philippines, on its rocky path from an authoritarian state to a democracy. As a reporter from CNN, she transformed news coverage in her region, which led her in 2012 to create a new and innovative online news organization, Rappler.

A story of courage
Revisado: 12-26-22
Believe in Good, and be that good that encourages others to muster courage to believe and fight for what is good in the world. Brave and powerful narrative of Maria Ressa’s fight for press freedom and truth in the age of disinformation, autocracy, and lies. If it happens it the Philippines, it is happening elsewhere now or in the near future. Highly recommended reading.
