Tuscany, 1944: As Allied troops advance and bombs fall around deserted villages, a young English soldier, Ulysses Temper, finds himself in the wine cellar of a deserted villa. There, he has a chance encounter with Evelyn Skinner, a middle-aged art historian who has come to Italy to salvage paintings from the ruins and recall long-forgotten memories of her own youth.

Histoire
Spanning the years 1900 to 1977, The Covenant of Water is set in Kerala, on South India’s Malabar Coast, and follows three generations of a family that suffers a peculiar affliction: in every generation, at least one person dies by drowning—and in Kerala, water is everywhere. At the turn of the century, a twelve-year-old girl from Kerala’s long-existing Christian community, grieving the death of her father, is sent by boat to her wedding, where she will meet her forty-year-old husband for the first time.

Histoire
Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

Histoire
Esme is born into a world of words. Motherless and irrepressibly curious, she spends her childhood in the Scriptorium, an Oxford garden shed in which her father and a team of dedicated lexicographers are collecting words for the very first Oxford English Dictionary. Young Esme’s place is beneath the sorting table, unseen and unheard. One day a slip of paper containing the word bondmaid flutters beneath the table. She rescues the slip and, learning that the word means “slave girl,” begins to collect other words discarded or neglected by the dictionary men.

William Waters grew up in a house silenced by tragedy, where his parents could hardly bear to look at him, much less love him—so when he meets the spirited and ambitious Julia Padavano in his freshman year of college, it’s as if the world has lit up around him. With Julia comes her family, as she and her three sisters are inseparable: Sylvie, the family’s dreamer, is happiest with her nose in a book; Cecelia is a free-spirited artist; and Emeline patiently takes care of them all.

Histoire
What would you do if you knew your life's potential? That's the question facing the residents of Deerfield, Louisiana, when the DNAMIX machine appears in their local grocery store. It's nothing to look at, really—it resembles a plain photo booth. But its promise is amazing: With just a quick swab of your cheek and two dollars, the device claims to use the science of DNA to tell you your life's potential. With enough credibility to make the townspeople curious, soon the former teachers, nurses, and shopkeepers of Deerfield are abruptly changing course to pursue their destinies.

Two women. Many aliases. Meg Williams. Maggie Littleton. Melody Wilde. Different names for the same person, depending on the town, depending on the job. She's a con artist who erases herself to become whoever you need her to be—a college student. A life coach. A real estate agent. Nothing about her is real. She slides alongside you and tells you exactly what you need to hear, and by the time she's done, you've likely lost everything.

Nuri is a beekeeper and Afra, his wife, is an artist. Mornings, Nuri rises early to hear the call to prayer before driving to his hives in the countryside. On weekends, Afra sells her colorful landscape paintings at the open-air market. They live a simple life, rich in family and friends, in the hills of the beautiful Syrian city of Aleppo - until the unthinkable happens.

Beekeeper of Aleppo

Description
Violette Toussaint is the caretaker at a cemetery in a small town in Bourgogne. Casual mourners, regular visitors, and sundry colleagues - gravediggers, groundskeepers, and a priest - visit her to warm themselves in her lodge, where laughter, companionship, and occasional tears mix with the coffee she offers them. Her life is lived to the rhythms of their funny, moving confidences.
But her routine is disrupted by the arrival of the local police chief, who insists on scattering the ashes of his recently deceased mother on the gravesite of a complete stranger. Soon it becomes clear that his inexplicable gesture is intertwined with Violette’s own difficult past.
With Fresh Water for Flowers, Valérie Perrin has given listeners an intimately told story that tugs on the heartstrings about a woman who believes obstinately in happiness, despite it all. A number-one best seller in France, it is a heartwarming and tender story that will stay with listeners long after they finish it.

There was very interesting characters in this book. I thoroughly enjoyed listening. The reader’s French pronunciation was lacking.

Great book, poor listening experience
I loved the book, but am very disappointed by the reader. It seems no one bothered going through the pronunciation of French names with her so she thoroughly butchered them throughout the book. In her reading, "Toussaint" rhymed with the English pronunciation of "Croissant", sigh. A very frustrating experience.

Poor narration spoiled a good story
Interesting story, characters and setting; Francophone narrator who could do voices would have added greatly to the listeners’ enjoyment.

I loved the story! It was sad and yet beautiful! The author pivoted along the timeline keeping me engaged and constantly trying to figure the story! The simple style of writing and the imagery was well done!

Story was good
I enjoyed the story... not terribly riveting but was an easy read. The narration wasn't great - when readers try to 'change voices' it can be very distracting as was the case here for me.

Lovely story. Narrator not so much.
I enjoyed the story but it would have been so much better if read by someone who know the French language and accent. Also a more mature voice would have worked nicely.

a book about grief and toxic love
Long, flowery prose. For the first third of the book I wasn't sure what the book was about. Hang in there, it gets pretty good, but not amazing.

Accent not right for the telling
Lovely story but a reader/performer with a better understanding of French: even as it is understood by anglophones would have made it better. The incorrect pronunciations of many common French to English words was off putting…

Probably better read in its original French. Poor choice of narrator
The story was good in the end but I struggled with the first part which seemed disjointed and lacked flow. I think that it suffered in translation and I had a really hard time with the narrator who, reading a story that takes place in France, with French names & occasional phrases, couldn’t pronounce the most basic words correctly! I’m not bilingual but I learned how to pronounce ‘Monsieur’ in Grade school!! I found it very distracting and had to buy the book in order to finish it!
