Resumen del Editor
Buckle up your Birkenstocks and travel back to 1975. Discover (or relive) the pre-digital age in Arcata, a remote Bohemian college town on the northern edge of California. Meet Kit, a hard-working, bookish senior, on track for graduation - that is, until she falls for Jonathan, one-time bestselling author, now her stand-in professor. Jonathan, a master in the art of deception, isn't who he appears to be. As their bond grows, Kit's desire blinds her to the truth - a shocking discovery shatters her faith and ultimately tests her integrity. From the first blush of fall quarter to the final breath of spring, hard lessons will be learned. To "graduate" into an uncertain future, Jonathan and Kit must first embrace the present - including the injustices, ambiguities, and absolute beauty of their lives. Beneath the ever-changing Humboldt skies they forge ahead; they stumble and sometimes fall. Heliotrope, a coming-of age story for the ages.

Historia
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Historia
It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

This newer edition of the King James Bible published in 1769 is usually preferred by most that read it over the older 1611 version. This 1769 edition is highly sought after due to being more reader/listener friendly than the 1611 since many typos were fixed.... We hope your new audio bible will go everywhere with you and be a blessing for years to come.

In this Audible Original collection, an all-star list of narrators (Billie Piper, Claire Foy, Emma Thompson, Florence Pugh and Gugu Mbatha-Raw) capture Austen’s pin-sharp humour and tone in these dramatisations of her six beloved novels accompanied by a full cast.

Historia
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Intriguing and varied cast of characters
What made the experience of listening to Heliotrope the most enjoyable?
I enjoyed listening to the narrator's interpretation of the characters voices and her chosen intonations. Having read the book before hearing it on Audible, it was fun to compare how I had heard things in my head with the way the narrator presented. I enjoy the way JC Miller weaves the lives and experiences of many characters into one blossoming story. Each character comes across with strength and their own particular quirkiness.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Heliotrope?
I was struck by the different kind of life lived in the 1970s, without digital technology. It was refreshing to see the characters communicating without the constant contact that the internet, texting and other digital technology provide.This is a very enjoyable read and I'd highly recommend it!
Have you listened to any of Ann Simmons’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is the first Ann Simmons performance I have listened to.
Any additional comments?
I liked hearing the author's comments at the end of the story!

AND LIFE GOES ON
! don't usually listen to non-mystery books but decided to hear this one because years ago my husband and I spent a glorious long weekend in Arcata and loved this small town and outlying areas. It was a little quirky and super relaxing away from the hub-bub of busy San Jose. We had always planned to go back there but life got in the way. So it was fun to read this story of characters living, loving and growing in the early years in Arcata.
Note: In exchange for an unbiased review, the author, publisher, and/or narrator were kind enough to provide an audio version of this book at no charge

Very relatable, hard to put down.
I received this audiobook for free in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed the story, the characters, and the color/description. The narrator was extremely monotone and did not add anything to the entertainment value. However, her voice was pleasant enough that it wasn't too distracting.

Enjoyable but not exceptional
The audiobook of J C Miller’s marvellous novel, "The To-Do List", had me chomping at the bits to know more of her work, particularly under the deft hand of narrator Sara K Sheckells.
"Heliotrope" is an earlier work and set in an earlier period that’s harder to relate to in today’s more enlightened age but, after a relatively slow start, the novel kicks off to become almost as engrossing.
It’s the 1970s, an age when morals were more rigid, homosexuality was still taboo and dyslexia was just starting to be recognised. Father and estranged husband, Jonathan, is a best-selling author, college lecturer and closet homosexual. His star student, Kit, forms a romantic attachment to him which sets in motion a chain of events that threatens to expose his secret and set Kit on a path of redemption and self-discovery.
J C Miller once again excels in developing detailed and believable characters who are driven by their own foibles but striving to be better. While the plot of "Heliotrope" is slow to start, the intricate relationships between Jonathan, Kit and several other main players soon pushes the storyline into a dramatic conundrum where there’s much to lose if the characters don’t choose the right path.
Ann Simmons does a fine job as the narrator, with enough variation to make the characters distinct and their motivations believable. There’s nothing to dislike about her narration but nothing exceptional to latch onto either. She does a good job and she does the book justice but, unlike many other narrators who embody the moment or the characters, her work is not memorable. I recall, for example, the first time I heard Steven Pacey and Rupert Degas narrate audiobooks. I was so blown away by their talent that I actively sought out any other books they’d narrated. Ann Simmons does the job and she does it very well but, by the end of your next audiobook, you won’t remember her name. It’s the difference between being good and being notable. “Good” is more than acceptable but it’s not exceptional.
I would recommend JC Miller’s “The To-Do List” well above this novel. I LOVED “The To-Do List” but only liked “Heliotrope”. You can read my review of “The To-Do List” on my audiobook website at SaidNotRead dot wordpress dot com, where you’ll find lots of other reviews and articles too. After listening to the audiobook of "Heliotrope" I remain a big fan of J C Miller's writing and hope to hear more of her books in the future.

Short romantic read...
As always, I have to state that this book was given to me for free in exchange for a review.
I always like to state that this does not impact my review or my opinion of the book. My reviews are honest and my own opinion of the story, performance, and overall thoughts on the book.
Heliotrope is an intriguing tale that features two complex characters: Kit, the college senior who is yearning to find her place in the world while developing an unrequited love for her professor, Jonathan Wakefield. Jonathan is a one-time best selling author turned professor, who has his own internal conflicts and isn't who he appears to be. Their story is full of drama, internal personal conflicts, angst, romance, betrayal, life lessons, and emotional trials and tribulations that easily keeps the reader engaged and turning the pages.
The author does a wonderful job of transporting the reader back to 1975 with rich descriptions and references of the easy-going, free to be time period, don't you just love the book cover! This complex story flows smoothly as Kit and Jon's story unfolds in a dramatic and tumultuous style. I couldn't help but find myself captivated by Kit and Jon's story, it is a delightful story that even took me on a walk down memory lane of my own college years! Heliotrope is a realistic coming of age story that captures the essence of college and of life's struggles and choices in a more hipper and simpler time.

Boring.
What disappointed you about Heliotrope?
The weak writing.
What do you think your next listen will be?
Probably a classic.
Would you listen to another book narrated by Ann Simmons?
No.
What character would you cut from Heliotrope?
All of them.
Any additional comments?
It takes skill to write about mundane things and have them be interesting to the reader and this author was not up to it.
