Maya loves to cook with her grandmother - her Halmunee - to connect with the rich family history associated with each dish, a history Maya's mom would prefer stayed in the past. While cooking with Halmunee, something remarkable happens - the food creates such a strong memory that Maya and Halmunee are transported back in time through the memory itself. Halmunee explains that the women in her family have the gift of time travel through food and Maya can do it too, if she practices.

For thousands of years, there has been a cycle: a Demon King rises and conquers, and a Hero is reborn a hundred years later to defeat him. Each time, civilizations are ground to dust beneath the Demon King's hordes, but humanity has remained secure in the belief that a Hero of legend will always save them. There's just one slight problem. It's only been 23 years since the Demon King's latest rise, and this time, he's already conquered more than half the world. If humanity simply waits for the Hero's return, there may be no world left for him to save.

In 10 lectures, award-winning historian Patrick N. Allitt transports listeners to England in the 1840s and 1850s. During those two decades, Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, became one of the most influential people in the country and remains a figure of fascination even today. In fact, the British royal family as we know it wouldn't exist without the private and public actions of this detached, impartial, and upright political figure.

The tide is turning against the colonists in the Revolutionary War, and 18-year-old Elizabeth Morris cannot sit by idly. Quietly disdainful of her Tory parents, who drag her along to society events and welcome a British soldier into their home during their occupation of New York City, Elizabeth decides to take matters into her own hands. She realizes that, as a young woman, no one around her believes that she can comprehend the profound implications of being a nation at war - she is, effectively, invisible. And she can use this invisibility to her advantage.

Moving between cities and centuries, Meyersohn probes her family's Jewish history and her grandparents' relationships in part to decipher her own young queer relationships, but also to examine how we ought to behave in the face of a world riddled with uncertainty and doubt.

Performed as a 1930s radio drama, it’s bursting with humor for all ages, orchestral scoring, and some of the most talented voices on Broadway. When their ace pilot parents (and adorable puppy) mysteriously disappear over the Pacific, the Flamingo Sisters - Flo, Faye, and Franny - escape the clutches of their evil Uncle Freidrich (who believes girls should never pilot aeroplanes) and join a flying circus.

The ending was a letdown
the plot had potential to be a really great sci-fi story, it had all the right pieces storing the climax, but the last two chapters destroyed this book. potential mystery ending up in an all too mundane and ordinary conclusion.

Terrible twist
The last 10 per cent ruined the whole book. As a reader, I feel my general intelligence is stepped on. When the cell phone of 9 years ago can still work perfectly without charging and a nine-year-old girl can play such a game, I lost all the appetite and missed my precious time.

Awful
Great premise, horrible implementation. Started great and was very intriguing, but the twist at the end totally ruined it. No child would ever behave this way or have the tech skills to pull off such a huge lie. No rational adult would reward the kid’s twisted behavior. No adult would ever take a cell phone off a dead body. No police dept would fail to recover said phone. Total crap. What a waste of time!!

Engaging
Found this very good and wished in a way it was longer. I wanted more to happen, but then it is only a novella, but a good listen.

Great little listen
The story is a tragic one in many ways but it doesn't leave you feeling hopeless. It's a great look into how flawed we are but how those sometimes terrible parts of us don't make us terrible as a whole. The richness of the characters is what I enjoyed most about this book. Even though it isn't very long you get a good sense off everyone. The end leaves you with enough to imagine something better is coming...

Didn't enjoy the story
The storyline is not believable I enjoyed the book but not the ending. Feel quite disappointed.

I just had to read this in one go
The twist at the end was a complete surprise.
The author had me faithfully tuned-in to the initial premise and I did not have an inkling of the truth. This is the most enjoyment I have got out of a book for a while. Recommended.

Started good, and then was meh
The story was great until about three-quarters off the way through, then went downhill fast. The twist ending was like, "whuuuut", and not in a good way. It's like lighting the string of a firework.. you're watching the fire reach the firework... and then PFFT.. nothing!
It's not that bad, but not that good either.
Narration was satisfactory :)

I loved it.
I really love this author and the narrator was pretty good for this one, not too distracting. the only character the narrator didn't nail was Barb in my opinion.

Good for a long drive
Couple of twists and turns. Not a thriller but certainly a good glimpse into how real people are dealt tragic events.
