'True belonging doesn't require us to change who we are. It requires us to be who we are.' Social scientist Brené Brown, PhD, LMSW has sparked a global conversation about the experiences that bring meaning to our lives - experiences of courage, vulnerability, love, belonging, shame and empathy. In Braving the Wilderness, Brown redefines what it means to truly belong in an age of increased polarisation.

Good, not great

I love what Brene has to say, this book felt like a reinforcement of her previous work.

Lydia is the favourite child of Marilyn and James Lee - a girl who inherited her mother's bright-blue eyes and her father's jet-black hair. When Lydia's body is found in the local lake, James is consumed by guilt, and Marilyn, devastated and vengeful, is determined to hold someone accountable. But it's the youngest in the family - Hannah - who may be the only one who knows what really happened.

Tara Westover and her family grew up preparing for the End of Days but, according to the government, she didn’t exist. She hadn’t been registered for a birth certificate. She had no school records because she’d never set foot in a classroom, and no medical records because her father didn’t believe in hospitals. As she grew older, her father became more radical and her brother more violent. At 16, Tara knew she had to leave home. In doing so she discovered both the transformative power of education, and the price she had to pay for it.

Brilliant book, about a tough life
Revisado: 02-09-19
I couldn't recommend this book more - while the challenges seemed insurmountable, Tara surmounted them. I admire her determination in spite of the emotional toll to be genuinely inspiring. Also, Julia Whelan did a fabulous reading.

This is what we long for: the profound pleasure of being swept into vivid new worlds, worlds peopled by characters so intriguing and real that we can't shake them, even long after the story's told. In this extraordinary audiobook, The Last Painting of Sara de Vos, Dominic Smith brilliantly bridges the historical and the contemporary, tracking a collision course between a rare landscape by a female Dutch painter of the Golden Age, an inheritor of the work in 1950s Manhattan, and a celebrated Australian art historian who painted a forgery of it in her youth.

Great Story
Revisado: 05-02-17
Would you consider the audio edition of The Last Painting of Sara de Vos to be better than the print version?
I really enjoyed the Audible version, but I think it's really a book to read - there is so much rich description.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Marty, because he was so decent.
Did Edoardo Ballerini do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
Yes, largely through accents and tone. The Australian accents were a bit dodgy sometimes, and found Ellie's diffidence in early New York scenes a bit wearying ... but particularly liked his Marty - and narration really good.
Who was the most memorable character of The Last Painting of Sara de Vos and why?
Sara and Ellie's final scenes - so poignant
