    Summary:
    First time available as an audiobook! Narrated by Juliet Stevenson and featuring archival audio of Shirley Hazzard reading from the book on the stage ofThe 92nd Street Y, New York. 'One of the great English-language novels of the twentieth century. The Paris Review 'Hazzard's prose is magic on the page, somehow at once surgical and symphonic . . . Read it now, so you can read it again soon.' Tad Friend,The New Yorker The award-winning,New York Timesbestselling literary masterpiecethe story of two beautiful orphan sisters whose fates are as moving and wonderful, and yet as predestined, as the transits of the planets themselves An almost perfect novel (The New York Times), The Transit of Venusfollows Caroline and Grace Bell as they leave Australia to begin a new life in post-war England. From Sydney to London, New York, and Stockholm, and from the 1950s to the 1980s, the two sisters experience seduction and abandonment, marriage and widowhood, love and betrayal. Caro, gallant and adventurous,has been courted long and hopelessly by young scientist, Ted Tice. The milder Grace seeks fulfilment in an apparently happy marriage. But as the decades pass and the characters weave in and out of each other's lives, love, death, and two secrets wait in ambush for them. In exquisite prose, Shirley Hazzard tells the story of the displacements and absurdities of modern life. The result is at once an intricately plotted Greek tragedy, a sweeping family saga, and a tantalizing love story that will transport listeners with its plushness, patient description, [and] etherizing beauty (Parul Sagal,The New York Times).

    Summary:
    An exuberant, incisive look at how Tony Hawks Pro Skater transformed a culture Going from a hobby toy for surfers to an Olympic sport, skateboarding has had a tumultuous history. Today, professional skateboarders land endorsement deals with Nike and Adidas, while popular television series like HBOs Betty tell the stories of diverse crews of skaters living in New York City. So how did a fledgling subculture rise from its near-death knell in the 90s to become ubiquitous today? It was simply a matter of finding the right messenger. In 1999, the bestselling video game Tony HawksPro Skater was released, and a new generation was exposed to skateboarding culture right in their very own homes. Kids and adults alike could now spend hours playing as actual skateboarders, learning the vernacular, listening to the music skateboarders loved, and having fun onscreen before trying to skate IRL in the driveway. Right, Down + Circle explores how a video game starring the most famous pro skater in the world brought skateboarding culture and its ever-shifting markers of music, subversion, and coolness to the masses and ultimately transformed the culture it borrowed from in the process.

    Summary:
    For readers of Braiding Sweetgrass and How to Do Nothingbooks that invite us to imagine better ways to live (and live with each other)comes a spirited and charming exploration of group living from a child of the counterculture that encourages us to redefine the meaning of home and family. Lola Milholland grew up in the nineties, the child of iconoclastic hippies. Her momenergetic and intense at work and at play, whether at her job marketing for an agricultural co-op or paddling down a river, fat spliff in handhad spent her life revolting against the strictures of her American and Filipino upbringing. Her dad, a child of the eastern Oregon desert, was a jovial documentary filmmaker and historian who loved to collect ephemera. Both threw open the doors of the Holman House, their rambling home in Portland, Oregon, to long-term visitors and unusual guests in need of a place to stay. Years later, after college and after her parents separation, Milholland returned home. There, she joined her brother and his housematesan eccentric group of stop-motion animators and accomplished cooksin choosing to further the experiment of communal living into a new generation. Group Living and Other Recipes tells the story of the residents of the Holman Houseof transcendent meals and ecstatic parties, of colorful characters coming together in moments of deep tenderness and inevitable irritation, of a shared life that is appealing, humorous, confounding, and, just maybe, utopianwith a wider exploration of group living as a way of life. Thoughtful, quirky, candid, and wise, Group Living and Other Recipes provides a convincing case that now is always the right time to reimagine home and familyand introduces a gifted memoirist and food writer in the tradition of Laurie Colwin, Ruth Reichl, and M.F.K. Fisher. Includes a PDF of all recipes in the text.

    Summary:
    In this fiercely imaginative Filipino-inspired fantasy debut, a bisexual nun hiding a goddess-given gift is unwillingly transformed into a lightning rod for her people's struggle against colonization. Perfect for fans of lush fantasy full of morally ambiguous characters, including The Poppy War and The Jasmine Throne. Maria Lunurin has been living a double life for as long as she can remember. To the world, she is Sister Maria, dutiful nun and devoted servant of Aynila's Codicían colonizers. But behind closed doors, she is a stormcaller, chosen daughter of the Aynilan goddess Anitun Tabu. In hiding not only from the Codicíans and their witch hunts, but also from the vengeful eye of her slighted goddess, Lunurin does what she can to protect her fellow Aynilans and the small family she has created in the convent: her lover Catalina, and her younger sister Inez. Lunurin is determined to keep her head down - until one day she makes a devastating discovery, which threatens to tear her family apart. In desperation, she turns for help to Alon Dakila, heir to Aynila's most powerful family, who has been ardently in love with Lunurin for years. But this choice sets in motion a chain of events beyond her control, awakening Anitun Tabu's rage and putting everyone Lunurin loves in terrible danger. Torn between the call of Alons magic and Catalinas jealousy, her duty to her family and to her people, Lunurin can no longer keep Anitun Tabus fury at bay. For the goddess of storms demands vengeance. And she will sweep aside anyone who stands in her way.
