Story
A brother chosen. A brother left behind. And a family where you'd least expect to find one. Leon is nine, and has a perfect baby brother called Jake. They have gone to live with Maureen, who has fuzzy red hair like a halo, and a belly like Father Christmas. But the adults are speaking in low voices, and wearing pretend faces. They are threatening to give Jake to strangers.

Story
Paulette's the kind of woman who likes the future all mapped out: the wedding to Denton, the Caribbean honeymoon, the gingham quilt on the baby's crib. Until one morning Garfield, Denton's friend, arrives at her door with the news that Denton won't be coming around any more, that there won't be time for her to say goodbye. Somehow Garfield finds his way into her bed, and sooner than anyone can believe there is a baby, and suddenly giving Bird, her son, the best of everything is what gives Paulette's life meaning.

Story
Joining us at Audible Studios is author Kit de Waal. Growing up in poverty in Birmingham, de Waal was exposed to many challenges as a child. Being British, Irish and Caribbean, she experienced many aspects of racism, and her chaotic home life was both a comfort and a difficulty. We'll be talking with Kit de Waal about her newest book, a memoir titled Without Warning and Only Sometimes, and asking why she turned the lens on herself, how her love of reading began, and how it felt to have Armageddon hanging over her as a child.

Story
Forfatteren af denne bog, Edmund de Waal, er en internationalt anerkendt keramiker, der har sine værker udstillet over hele verden. En dag arver han fra en onkel en samling af 264 bittesmå, udskårne, japanske figurer af træ og elfenben - såkaldte netsuker - der har været i familiens eje siden 1870’erne. Arven og genstandene pirrer Edmund de Waals nysgerrighed, og han begiver sig ud på en rejse tilbage i den europæiske historie for at finde ud af, hvem der har rørt ved disse smukke, små skabninger, hvem der har elsket og beundret dem, og hvad de har været vidne til.

Story
Más de doscientas figuritas de madera y marfil, ninguna de ellas mayor que una caja de cerillas, son el origen de este fascinante libro en el que Edmund de Waal describe el viaje que han hecho a lo largo de los años. Un viaje lleno de aventuras, de guerra, de amor y de pérdida, que resume, en la historia de una familia, la historia de Europa en los siglos XIX y XX.

Story
Wien, Anfang der 1950er-Jahre: Jeden Donnerstag treffen sich Künstler, Wissenschaftler, Zeitungsleute bei Theophil Kanakis und erfreuen sich der Gastfreundschaft des reichen Mannes. Man will genießen und das Elend der Kriegszeit vergessen. Neu beginnen will auch Kuno Adler, der jüdische Wissenschaftler. Zurückgekehrt aus dem New Yorker Exil hofft er, seine Arbeit weiterführen zu können. Aber er trifft auf Ausflüchte, Geringschätzung und Feindseligkeit.

Story
Voor de lezers van Charlotte de Monchy, Emily Henry, Ali Hazelwood en de fans van Soof Dat je idool in het echt meestal tegenvalt, ontdekt Eva op een pijnlijke manier. Of eigenlijk is de ontmoeting vooral pijnlijk voor Max Mulder, schrijver van internationale bestsellers. Door Eva's onhandigheid breekt hij zijn hand en komt de deadline voor zijn nieuwe boek in gevaar. Ook dreigt hij een grote internationale filmdeal mis te lopen. Onder druk van zijn literair agent trekt Eva tijdelijk bij Max in om hem te helpen.

Story
Invitado a exponer sus piezas de cerámica en el museo Nissim de Camondo, Edmund de Waal disfrutó del inesperado privilegio de adentrarse en uno de los palacetes más lujosos de París, antigua propiedad de una influyente familia sefardí. Construido por deseo del filántropo y coleccionista de arte Moïse de Camondo en 1912, el edificio acoge desde entonces una extraordinaria colección de arte francés del siglo xviii. Sin embargo, como ocurrió a los antepasados de De Waal, los Ephrussi, también los Camondo se convirtieron pronto en blanco del antisemitismo.

Ben aviat, pero, els Camondo van esdevenir objecte de l’antisemitisme, tal com havia passat als Ephrussi, antecessors de De Waal.
