Story
Young playwright Melina Green has just written a new work inspired by the life of her Elizabethan ancestor Emilia Bassano. But seeing it performed is unlikely, in a theater world where the playing field isn’t level for women. As Melina wonders if she dares risk failure again, her best friend takes the decision out of her hands and submits the play to a festival under a male pseudonym.

Story
It was easy for Elizabeth. She married the man she loved, bore him two children and made a home for him which was the envy of their friends. It was harder for Ruth. She married Elizabeth’s son and then found that, somehow, she could never quite measure up. Isolation, deceit and betrayal fill the gaps between the two individual women and between their different worlds. In this complex thriller, Philippa Gregory deploys all her insight into what women want and what women fear, as Ruth confronts the shifting borders of her own sanity.

Great twist!
Reviewed: 03-29-24
I really enjoyed the elements of the story when you’re not really sure who the good guy or the bad guy is. There’s a lovely twist near the end that was, especially satisfying! I will say no more, but this was definitely worth the listen!

Story
When Notes on a Silencing hit bookstores in the summer of 2020, even amidst a global pandemic, it sent shockwaves through the country. Not only did this intimate investigative memoir usher in a media storm of coverage, but it also prompted the elite St. Paul's School to issue a formal apology to the author, Lacy Crawford, for its handling of her report of sexual assault by two fellow students nearly 30 years ago.

So moving
Reviewed: 10-04-22
This memoir is so powerful. I feel as though all young people should listen to this. If I had a daughter in middle school or high school, I would absolutely have her read this book. As the mother of a son, it is also something I will have him read. It is a powerful memoir and such an important story to give voice to.

I still can’t remember who recommended this to me, but I had it in my wish list for a long time. I am so glad I listen to this book! It was so engaging, the characters were awesome. I didn’t want to stop running errands in my car so I could listen to it longer! Give it a try!
