Cherie Dimaline
À propos de cet audio
From the bestselling author of Empire of Wild, a wickedly subversive, deliciously imaginative, deeply feminist novel of contemporary witches on the rise—a book that only the supremely gifted storyteller Cherie Dimaline could write.
Lucky St. James, orphaned daughter of a bad-ass Métis good-times girl, is barely hanging on to her nowhere life when she finds out that she and her grandmother, Stella, are about to be evicted from their apartment. Bad to worse in a heartbeat. Then one night, doing laundry in the building's dank basement, Lucky feels an irresistible something calling to her. Crawling through a hidden hole in the wall, she finds a tarnished silver spoon depicting a story-book hag over letters that spell out S-A-L-E-M.
Which alerts Salem-born Meena Good, finder of a matching spoon, to Lucky's existence. One of the most powerful witches in North America, Meena has been called to bring together seven special witches and seven special spoons—infused with magic and scattered to the four directions more than a century ago—to form a magic circle that will restore women to their rightful power. Under the wing of the international headhunting firm VenCo, devoted to placing exceptional women in roles where they can influence business, politics and the arts, Meena has spent years searching out witches hiding in plain sight wherever women gather: suburban book clubs, Mommy & Me groups, temp agencies. Lucky and her spoon are number six.
With only one more spoon to find, a very powerful adversary has Meena's coven in his sights—Jay Christos, a roguish and deadly witch-hunter as old as witchcraft itself. As the clock ticks toward a now-or-never deadline, Meena sends Lucky and her grandmother on a dangerous, sometimes hilarious, road trip through the United States in search of the seventh spoon. The trail leads them at last to the darkly magical city of New Orleans, where Lucky's final showdown with Jay Christos will determine whether the coven will be completed, ushering in a new beginning, or whether witches will be forced to remain forever underground.

Histoire5 out of 5 stars 5
When Lilith lyapo wakes from a centuries-long sleep, she finds herself aboard the vast spaceship of the Oankali. She discovers that the Oankali—a seemingly benevolent alien race—intervened in the fate of the humanity hundreds of years ago, saving everyone who survived a nuclear war from a dying, ruined Earth and then putting them into a deep sleep. After learning all they could about Earth and its beings, the Oankali healed the planet, cured cancer, increased human strength, and they now want Lilith to lead her people back to Earth—but salvation comes at a price.

When fourteen-year-old Lamya H realizes she has a crush on her teacher—her female teacher—she covers up her attraction, an attraction she can’t yet name, by playing up her roles as overachiever and class clown. Born in South Asia, she moved to the Middle East at a young age and has spent years feeling out of place, like her own desires and dreams don’t matter, and it’s easier to hide in plain sight. To disappear. But one day in Quran class, she reads a passage about Maryam that changes everything: When Maryam learned that she was pregnant, she insisted no man had touched her.

From New York Times best-selling author Stephen Graham Jones comes a novel that is equal parts psychological horror and cutting social commentary on identity politics and the American-Indian experience. Fans of Jordan Peele and Tommy Orange will love this story as it follows the lives of four American-Indian men and their families, all haunted by a disturbing, deadly event that took place in their youth. Years later, they find themselves tracked by an entity bent on revenge, totally helpless as the culture and traditions they left behind catch up to them in a vengeful way.

Winifred has lived in the apartment above the cemetery office with her father, who works in the crematorium, all her life, close to her mother's grave. With her sixteenth birthday only days away, Winifred has settled into a lazy summer schedule, lugging her obese Chihuahua around the grounds in a squeaky red wagon to visit the neglected gravesides and nursing a serious crush on her best friend, Jack.

Adventure in a Mystical World
Cherie Dimaline is an imaginative writer, who creates worlds within worlds, populating them with visceral characters who grip your heart. Some of her characters are witty and funny and the lovely relationship in this book between the main character and her grandmother warms the reader's heart even as they face danger. I don't want to reveal plot because it is skilfully developed and the reader deserves to meet each event without foreknowledge. The narration is amazing and I highly recommend this book.

Fun & Female Centred
I did really enjoy this book, and it was worth the credit. So many women in this book and you get to explore the backstory to all of them. This was a modern witch story - it would be great if there was a sequel.

A decent story
The story was enough that it kept my attention, but nothing was particularly clever or magical within it. If the author comes out with a sequel, I’d be interested but would hope for a change in voice actor. I found the breathy dramatics during non-dramatic moments (and the oddest of dramatic pauses mid-sentence) irritating.

Not extraordinary.
I really didn’t enjoy the narrator. She is very stilted and sounds like she’s reading rather than delivering a story.
The story was ok but not great. I found it a challenge to finish listening to.

Beautiful, complex, and captivating
A beautiful take on the story of witches. The narrator seemed a bit dull at first, but it quickly became apparent that this was an intended part of the performance. The more self aware Lucky becomes the more emotional range the narrator provides. The story and narration are intertwined.

My new favourite book.
Gorgeous writing, beautiful imagery, she brings an inspiring story of womanhood and strength woven in a tapestry of hope. I’ve listened three times so far and loved it just as much each time. This will be a classic. Thank you for writing it.

Exactly what I needed
Strong female characters, like women I know in my real life. Quite enjoyed this read and the narrator. Satisfying ending- but I’d LOVE a sequel. Loved the world building.
