She was an all-American girl who became a legend of unparalleled stature. She inspired the adoration of millions, and her life has beguiled generations of fans and fellow artists. The story of Norma Jeane Baker, better known by her studio name, Marilyn Monroe, has been dissected for more than three decades, but never has it been captured in a narrative as breathtaking and transforming as Blonde.

FABULOUS

Loved every minute of it! The narrator is one of the best I've ever heard on an audible book. She brought Norma Jean and Marilyn to life. I was riveted right up to the very end.

The Cartiers is the revealing tale of a jewelry dynasty—four generations, from revolutionary France to the 1970s. At its heart are the three Cartier brothers whose motto was “Never copy, only create” and who made their family firm internationally famous in the early days of the twentieth century, thanks to their unique and complementary talents.

I loved every minute of this audible book. Loved the family history, locations, and the descriptions of the jewels and the fascinating people who acquired and wore them. The narrator is stellar!
Highly recommend for both the jewelry lover and history buff!

In 2017, a routine network television investigation led to a story only whispered about: one of Hollywood’s most powerful producers was a predator, protected by fear, wealth, and a conspiracy of silence. As Farrow drew closer to the truth, shadowy operatives, from high-priced lawyers to elite war-hardened spies, mounted a secret campaign of intimidation, threatening his career, following his every move, and weaponizing an account of abuse in his own family.

Margaret, Duchess of Argyll (1912-1993) was an international celebrity in her youth. But in 1963, the year of the Profumo Affair, the 11th Duke of Argyll shocked the country when he alleged that his adulterous wife had slept with over 80 men behind his back. The duke won a divorce, and Margaret was abandoned by most of her friends. Lyndsy Spence tells a tragic story of the life and downfall of this fascinatingly complex woman, and shows how she fell victim to a cruel husband, harsh social mores, and an unforgiving class.

I absolutely LOVED this book! Honestly, one of my favorite audible books ever. I adored Margaret with all her flaws and eccentricities. I went along for the ride of this story right from the start and was not bored for a moment . The narrater, Lucy Rayner is stellar. I just enjoy listening to her speak! I highly recommend this book, in fact I did tonight, told my friend she has to buy this book....
Thank you Lyndsy Spense and Lucy Rayner!

Musician, actor, activist, and the iconic face of New York City cool, Debbie Harry is the front woman of Blondie, a band that forged a new sound that brought together the worlds of rock, punk, disco, reggae, and hip-hop to create some of the most beloved pop songs of all time. As a muse, she collaborated with some of the boldest artists of the past four decades. The scope of Debbie Harry’s impact on our culture has been matched only by her reticence to reveal her rich inner life - until now.

Another great book by Kate, another great narration by Saskia! I purchased this book because I had previously purchased The Alice Network by Kate Quinn, also narrated by Saskia. It's one of my favorites. This book does not disappoint either! I will immediately purchase another audible book by Kate Quinn!

Newly discharged from the Marines after World War II, Scotty Bowers arrived in Hollywood in 1946. Young, charismatic, and strikingly handsome, he quickly caught the eye of many of the town's stars and starlets. He began sleeping with some himself, and connecting others with his coterie of young, attractive, and sexually free-spirited friends.

Disappointing
Revisado: 08-22-18
The only part of the book I really enjoyed owas the juicy tidbits about which forties movie stars a
were actually gay, all of which could have been told in one chapter. Scotty spends a lot of time trying to convince you that he never accepted money for sex or arranging sex. I don't believe a word of it. I think he was a prostitute and a pimp. I also believe he was a sexual addict, no doubt caused by the molestation he experienced as a child by adults. I was very uncomfortable with him trying to rationalize these experiences and make it sound like it was all normal. I was also annoyed by the narrator. If I had to hear him mispronounce Louie B Mayer one more time I thought I would scream. my advice is don't waste your time.
