Jenny Lindh tips on the best audio books right now
« The walls between us »
Author: Johanna Sernelin. Reader: Gabriella Boris. Length: 9 hours 49 min.
The summer’s most beautiful tension revolves around an under -stimulated local reporter that becomes both career and suspicious when one of the country’s most notorious criminals, life -senteny killer Carina Falkman, makes contact to tell her story. Why does man want to speak out in a rural bottle? And why is Falkman so curious about the reporter’s privacy? Touching social heritage, stylish turns that all elicit that annoying and wonderful « why did I not understand previous« -the feeling.
« Evil Grandma »
Author: Line Baugstø. Reader: Katarina Ewerlöf. Length: 6 hours 51 min.
Another wonderful contribution to the exploding entertainment genre on crisp Ragator 50 plus which I from now on requires that we call « Östrogentasy » or « Karen-lit ». Here, in Norwegian Baugstø’s riveting vintage, it is sexually frustrated Mona as sloping teeth when she gets the « happy » message that she will become a grandmother. Soon she has created the insta-aliaset @evilgrandma as a highly adequate response to the daughter’s unbearably platitude-filled mummy flu account.
« The mouse »
Author: Mats Strandberg. Reader: Johan Ehn. Length: 10 hours 37 min.
Writing -spasmic writer Hedda is so desperate that she hooks on when Polar David, a Creditable Alkis from Cultural Family, offers inspirational retail in the family farm « Villa Thamyris ». Little do she expect what awaits in the Swedish Tenn-decorated brick. Segmer than the mega success « The Conference » but still a difficult -to -resist mix of the horror roll « Midsummer », Donna Tartt and optional whimsical chronicle about the « cultural elite » which also gets huge by Ehn’s Virtuost ton safe, yes, actually completely masterful reading.
« All days close »
Author: Anna-Karin Karlsson. Reader: Charlotta Jonsson. Length: 9 hours 23 min.
The early 19th century Småland is a scene for this sensual, small-sentimental, infinitely sad stretch-listening novel about the soldier daughter Sara, whose hard-for a modern man sometimes difficult to do hard-women’s lives was in no way unique. In Karlsson’s words, they get body: our anonymous institutes that today only exist as poor notes in old church books. A book to snore during June walks, the prose is made for crackling dirt roads and river dance at the clay field.
« Remission of sins »
Author: Nanna Olasdotter Hallberg. Reader: Nanna Olasdotter Hallberg. Length: 6 hours 58 min.
Appreciably labeled as « demonic feelgood » by DN’s Kristina Lindquist And contains everything that causes my mouth to be watered on my 47-year-old Wannabe-nineties-friends (drugs, Christianity, overshadowing attitude to destructive sex, and magic). At the center stands the Storkyrkan’s poor staff, a woke dom prost plus a porous witch that puts a wonderful sprout on the action. As with many fun books, the prose will eventually become breathless, but the skirting is weighed up by the author’s beautifully laid back reading.
« Historical female travelers »
Author: Per J Andersson. Reader: Per J Andersson. Total length: 7 hours 13 min.
I really like this colorful pearl for audiobook series about Fredrika Bremer, Isabelle Eberhardt and other norm -breaking globetrotters which also form the basis for the printed version that just landed in the trade. Personal favorite is the crazy pan Ida Pfeiffer – Austrian jungle tourist who was not saved cannibals in she was « too old and tough to taste good ». And what a great thing it is that the women do not have to get sad heroines, on the contrary, we are offered the pure sandwich table by colonial attitudes.
