About this listen
To the outside observer, Luke Brenner seems to have it all. An attractive wife. Two beautiful kids. The promise of ever-growing fame and fortune as one of the country’s brightest architects. But when he bumps into an ex-teenage flame on an overseas family holiday, he realises that he has become trapped living the very life he always used to ridicule.
After that, unable to settle back down into a passionless life of habit and monotony, he collides head-on with his wife, workplace and society–something that ultimately leads him into a series of romantic and artistic adventures that will either make or break him.
A book for anyone who has ever yearned to live a more authentic life, a life of creativity and passion, The Call of the Silver Cockatoo is an inspirational call to action.
It is a book that will stay with you long after you put it down. A book that will help you rediscover the you you always wanted to express.

Is there really such thing as a lucky charm? The hero of Nicholas Sparks's new novel believes he's found one in the form of a photograph of a smiling woman he's never met, but who he comes to believe holds the key to his destiny. The chain of events that leads to him possessing the photograph and finding the woman pictured in it is the stuff of love stories only a master such as Sparks can write.

Abby Field loves every inch of Meadowsweet Nature Reserve on the idyllic Suffolk coast, where she lives and works. Especially Swallowtail House, the rambling but empty country house that seems to look out at her each time she passes its shut-up windows. When a TV wildlife programme choses a rival location for their new series, Meadowsweet is under threat - unless Abby can whip up a plan to keep the visitors flocking. But she finds herself distracted by the arrival of a brooding - and annoyingly handsome - new neighbour...bad-boy novelist Jack Westcoat.

A lot’s happened since we got acquainted in that hotel room.

"You will be trapped in stone forevermore, your beauty hidden by a façade so ugly that people will not like to look upon it. You will feel, but you will not be able to speak. You will hear, but you will not be able to communicate. You will endure across the ages, a silent witness to the decades that go by". François Damont’s only crime was loving the son of a witch in a time when it wasn’t permitted. For that sin, he’s been cursed to spend eternity locked inside the body of a gargoyle. A chance to break the curse comes only once every 25 years.
