About this listen
Lauretta Blom is al jare lank dolgelukkig in die rol van ma en eggenoot in haar pynlik netjiese wit-en-beige droomhuis. Maar een Donderdagoggend laat die skynbaar onbenullige optrede van haar man haar gedagtes oortyd werk. Gou voel dit asof al die sekerhede in haar lewe wankel. Retta begin dinge doen wat sy nooit vooheen sou oorweeg het nie. ’n Road trip Kaap toe lei tot onverwagse ontdekkings–nie net oor haarself nie, maar ook oor Tobias, die man met wie sy ses-en-twintig jaar getroud is.
Please note: This audiobook is in Afrikaans.

Erin se dogter wat op ses verdwyn het, klop 20 jaar later aan haar deur. Maryna praat vlotter Chinees as Afrikaans, sy is grotesk, het ’n daggagewoonte, is stuurs en stil. Erin is nie ’n emosionele mens nie, haar greep op die werklikheid is glibberig en sy praat moeilik oor haar gevoelens. Sy is obsessief oor die man wat haar verlaat het en die jeugvriend wat steeds na haar hunker. Hoe gemaak met die kuiken wat onder haar vlerk uit gesteel is, wat deur vreemdelinge hanteer is sodat sy haar reuk nie meer eien nie, wat grootgeword en tuisgekom het om te broei?

In die somer van 1838 vertrek die Voortrekkerleier Piet Retief en sowat 100 man na die Zoeloekoning Dingaan om oor grond vir die trekkers te onderhandel. In die laer by Doornkop wag sy vrou Magdalena op hulle terugkeer. Die afloop van hierdie sending na Dingaan is wyd opgeteken as die Slag van Bloedrivier. Byna 180 jaar later is Hanna op soek na wat ook al Magdalena nagelaat het. Vroeg in hierdie soektog loop Hanna haar vas in ’n plaasmoord waarvoor sy nie antwoorde het nie. Bitter min is bekend oor Magdalena en haar lewe ná 1838, buiten haar brief in 1841 aan haar skoonfamilie.

Onder leiding van Meester Yang moet Daan tai chi doen in ’n poging om sy balans te herstel. Maar daar is ook iets anders wat aan Daan vreet, iets wat hy van sy hart móét afkry voor hy sy weg na die hiernamaals kan vind. Dalk is dit tyd dat hy aan Magrieta, sy oorlede vrou, skryf en sê dat hy haar liefgehad het. In Die Dao van Daan van der Walt word die Afrikaner-dilemma in die moderne lewe met ’n fyn lem oopgevlek.

Hy kan na SA kom–sy bannelingstatus uitgewis, teen ’n prys. “Ons vergeet jou sondes in ruil vir ’n teenprestasie,” sê sy nuwe werkgewer. Hy moet ’n lykbesaaide saak van internasionale belang help ontrafel. Nou sal hy weer soos ’n volbloedspeurder moet redeneer om dié saak saam met ’n spul rookies op te los.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer. A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

Story
The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Story
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

Oulike storie
Die voorlesing was goed maar met tye bietjie oordrewe. Sommige karakters het geklink na “Juf Rottenmeier”

Uitstekende storie, voorlesing effens oordrewe
Het baie van die storie gehou. Die stemme van sommige karakters is ietwat oordrewe voorgelees, veral dié van Lee. Res van die voorlesing was goed.
