Someday, Maybe

Although the first two parts of Eve’s journey are better than the last, this audiobook makes a good book club read. Includes an author’s note with resources.

A haunting, evocative audiobook that will linger in listeners’ minds long after the end.
PREMIUM

Looking for Jane

Borges’s narration and Marshall’s descriptions of dramatic scenes are so gripping that listeners will feel they’re right there with the characters. Give to listeners who enjoy audiobooks by Kristin Hannah and Lisa Wingate.
