Acerca de esta escucha
American professor Dr. Alex Hightower has always been fascinated by Emily Bront and her brief and tragic life. But the question that haunts him is the one of her death. What were the secrets Bront took with her to the grave? The answers begin in the village of Haworth, where Bront lived and died. Alex journeys there in hope of proving his theory that Emily did not die a natural death, but rather committed suicide after a passionate and secret love affair. Soon Alex finds himself trying to decipher the mystery of an old letter, an ancient family curse, and a beautiful and mysterious woman who may hold the key to Emily Bront's secret. A unique and absorbing tale, Emily's Secret pieces together the puzzle of an untimely death.

In 1851, Father Jean Marie Latour comes to serve as the Apostolic Vicar to New Mexico. What he finds is a vast territory of red hills and tortuous arroyos, American by law but Mexican and Indian in custom and belief. In the almost forty years that follow, Latour spreads his faith in the only way he knows—gently, all the while contending with an unforgiving landscape, derelict and sometimes openly rebellious priests, and his own loneliness. Out of these events, Cather gives us an indelible vision of life unfolding in a place where time itself seems suspended.

Demonstrating once again her gift for spellbinding storytelling, Anne Rice makes real for us a great dynasty of four centuries of witches - a family given to poetry and incest, murder and philosophy, a family that over the ages is itself haunted by a powerful, dangerous, and seductive being called Lasher who haunts the Mayfair women. Moving in time from today's New Orleans and San Francisco to long-ago Amsterdam and the France of Louis XIV, from the coffee plantations of Port-au-Prince to Civil War New Orleans and back to today, Anne Rice has spun a mesmerizing tale.

In the summer of 1862, a group of young artists led by the passionate and talented Edward Radcliffe descends upon Birchwood Manor in rural Oxfordshire. Their plan: to spend a secluded summer month in a haze of inspiration and creativity. But by the time their stay is over, one woman has been shot dead while another has disappeared; a priceless heirloom is missing; and Edward Radcliffe’s life is in ruins. Over 150 years later, Elodie Winslow, a young archivist in London, uncovers a leather satchel containing two seemingly unrelated items.

When poet and writer Joy Davidman began writing letters to C. S. Lewis - known as Jack - she was looking for spiritual answers, not love. Love, after all, wasn’t holding together her crumbling marriage. Everything about New Yorker Joy seemed ill-matched for an Oxford professor and the beloved writer of The Chronicles of Narnia, yet their minds bonded over their letters.

Semele Cavnow appraises antiquities for an exclusive Manhattan auction house. When she discovers a manuscript written in the time of Cleopatra, she knows it will be the find of her career. Its author tells the story of a priceless tarot deck, now lost to history. As Semele delves further, she realizes the manuscript is more than it seems. Both a memoir and a prophecy, it appears to be the work of a powerful seer, describing devastating wars and natural disasters in detail thousands of years before they occurred.

The Barbarossa family’s roots are far more ancient and ethereal, but they are bound to the Gearys by a shared history of murder, insanity, and adultery. When Rachel Geary and Galilee, the seductive prince of the Barbarossa clan, fall in love, they unleash powerful enmities that could destroy both dynasties. Shorter and more conventional than some of Barker’s other work, this novel is especially rich with complex, passionate, three-dimensional characters, lush settings, and elegant language.

A shy young man leaves his home in rural Turkey to learn a trade in 1920s Berlin. The city's crowded streets, thriving arts scene, passionate politics, and seedy cabarets provide the backdrop for a chance meeting with a woman, which will haunt him for the rest of his life. Emotionally powerful, intensely atmospheric, and touchingly profound, Madonna in a Fur Coat is an unforgettable novel about new beginnings and the unfathomable nature of the human soul.

The Barbarossa family’s roots are far more ancient and ethereal, but they are bound to the Gearys by a shared history of murder, insanity, and adultery. When Rachel Geary and Galilee, the seductive prince of the Barbarossa clan, fall in love, they unleash powerful enmities that could destroy both dynasties. Shorter and more conventional than some of Barker’s other work, this novel is especially rich with complex, passionate, three-dimensional characters, lush settings, and elegant language.

Artist Laura Matthews finds her new home in the Welsh mountains to be a place so charged with tales and legends that she is able to reach through the gossamer-fine veil that separates her own world from that of myth and fable. She and her husband, Dan, have given up their city life and moved to Blaencwm, an ancient longhouse high in the hills. Here, she hopes that the wild beauty will inspire her to produce her best art and will give her the baby they have longed for.

Welcome to Newford: to the music clubs, the waterfront, and the alleyways where ancient myths and magic spill into the modern world. Gemmins live in abandoned cars and skells traverse the tunnels below, while mermaids swim in the gray harbor waters and fill the cold night with their song. Come meet Jilly, painting wonders in the rough city streets; and Geordie, playing fiddle while he dreams of a ghost; and the Angel of Grasso Street gathering the fey and the wild and the poor and the lost.

A haunting love story about Emily Bronte
An extremely well researched story with an amazing hypothesis about the life and death of one of the most enigmatic and talented writers of Victorian England.

Good story but the narrator...
I enjoyed the story, I liked the main characters, Selena and Alex, but the narrator’s attempt at an English accent was odd. The way she said Emily was terrible, I couldn’t help but chuckle each time. It wasn’t enough to make me turn the book off but it was distracting at times. When she was speaking in her normal voice she did a good job.

New Twist on a Bronte!
This is intriguing for those who like classic literature and would enjoy engaging in new ideas on preconceived notions. This will pull you into a good mystery thriller. Warning: some dark scenes unfold but it remains light enough for the faint of heart to maintain their interest. Enjoy!

It’s not HAY-worth!!
This narrator is horrid! How can you neglect you job so much that basic pronunciations are wrong and the accents of 99% of the character are wrong? First, the story takes place in Haworth - the “a” pronounced as in “hat” and not “hay.” Second, Haworth is in West Yorkshire. But there is not a Yorkshire accent to be had in this performance. It sounds like a weird version of Irish laced with Scottish. Not even close. It’s absolutely grating on the nerves.
The story suffers from inconsistencies that cast doubt on how much time the author has spent in the areas she writes about. It is predictable enough that I found myself skipping ahead to find something new in the story, and being disappointed.
I will say this: the book inspired me to read about the Brontes myself and discover the real lives behind the fiction.
