Flood Tide by Sara Ware Bassett audiobook.

Genre: romance

On the windswept edge of Cape Cod, the village of Wilton has learned to make room for Willie Spence - a gentle, eccentric old inventor whose cottage has become a maze of strings, wires, and homemade contraptions. Kept (mostly) in order by his long-suffering housekeeper, Celestina, Willie spends his days chasing bright ideas and dreaming that one day his luck will finally turn. When a capable young outsider, Robert Morton, comes into Willie's orbit, the old man's latest project begins to look less like harmless tinkering and more like an opportunity - one that could bring prosperity, or invite trouble. At the same time, Wilton's attention fixes on Delight Hathaway, a young woman of rare spirit and quiet strength whose future is complicated by family pride, small-town expectations, and the sudden interest of people who know how to turn dreams into profit. As friendship deepens into romance and the community's humor and kindness collide with ambition and greed, Willie, Robert, and Delight must decide what is worth protecting when the tide begins to rise.

The Imperialist by Sara Jeannette Duncan ~ Full Audiobook [romance]

The Imperialist by Sara Jeannette Duncan audiobook.

Genre: romance

“The Imperialist,” a novel by Sara Jeannette Duncan, published in 1904, is a portrait of life in small-town Ontario at the beginning of the 20th century.

At that time, English Canada was torn between affectionate loyalty for the “mother country” (Britain), and, on the other side, hard-headed respect for the demands of life in the shadow of the dynamic American economy. (In a by-election, one party pushes for establishing a preferred trading relationship between Canada and Britain: this is the “imperialist” position referred to by the book’s title.)

Main characters find themselves in problematic love stories that unfold against the backdrop of a society that is working out its national identity. These national issues would continue to vex Canada for decades to come. The author is ambivalent about the larger debates, but offers richly specific, subtle, and entertaining observations of manners and morals.

In the decades since publication, “The Imperialist” has been increasingly appreciated as a landmark in Canadian fiction. Critic and scholar Peter Allen has written: “Duncan is an eloquent and important witness to the ambiguity of [Canada’s] developing national identity in the years before World War I.”

NOTE: In this novel, a brief depiction of Native Canadians uses what we today recognize as offensive stereotypes.

Bat Wing by Sax Rohmer audiobook.

Genre: mystery

When private detective Paul Harley thinks he is wrapping up routine work for the Home Office, a fearful visitor walks into his London office with a tale that sounds like superstition. Colonel Juan Menendez, a wealthy exile from the Spanish West Indies, is convinced an old enemy has followed him to England - and that a bat wing nailed to his door is not a prank but a death-sign from a secret cult. Harley, joined by his plainspoken associate Mr. Knox, travels to the Colonel's country house, Cray's Folly, to untangle a knot of midnight trespassers, ominous warnings, and a household thick with secrets. The local police, led by Inspector Aylesbury, want practical explanations, yet each new incident pushes the case deeper into rumors of voodoo, vampirism, and colonial vengeance. As fear spreads through the estate and the body count threatens to rise, Harley must separate staged terror from real violence - and expose the very human motive hiding behind the mask of the uncanny.
