The Mistress of Shenstone by Florence Louisa Barclay audiobook.

Genre: romance

When war draws Lord Ingleby away from Shenstone Park, his wife, Lady Myra, becomes the lonely guardian of a great country house that feels too vast for one heart, one small toy poodle, and a growing fear of what each telegram might bring. Florence L. Barclay sets Myra amid autumn terraces, shuttered rooms, and watchful servants who see more than they say, then sends her beyond the safety of her title and estate when devastating news forces her to confront life without the future she had assumed. Seeking quiet on the Cornish coast, Myra finds instead a village full of sharp tongues and warm teacups, including the formidable Miss Murgatroyd sisters, and an unexpected encounter with Jim Airth, a man whose rough manner and guarded silence suggest wounds as deep as her own. As friendship turns toward something more dangerous, Myra must weigh duty against desire, pride against vulnerability, and grief against the possibility of joy, while the shadow of the war and an unseen secret keeps pressing in. A tender, character-driven romance about love after loss, and the courage it takes to forgive.

Harry Dee; or Making it Out by Francis J. Finn audiobook.

Genre: mystery

Harry Dee has barely recovered from a nightmare of a childhood when he is sent to St. Maure's, the Catholic boarding school where Tom Playfair and Percy Wynn have learned, the hard way, what it means to grow up. Thin, jumpy, and prone to sleepwalking, Harry carries a burden no boy should bear: the shadow of his wealthy uncle's violent death, a scandal of missing money, and the uneasy sense that the truth is still loose in the world. At St. Maure's, he finds a wary kind of peace - until old rumors flare again around Tower Hill Mansion, a place with secrets, midnight noises, and a history that refuses to stay buried. As classes, sports, and school discipline press on toward graduation, Tom and Percy draw Harry into their circle and into an investigation that tests their courage, loyalty, and judgment. With danger close and reputations on the line, the three friends must decide what to trust, what to fear, and what kind of men they want to become. Blending school life, faith, and suspense, this final entry in Finn's trio is a coming-of-age mystery about resilience, conscience, and friendship under pressure.

Henry D. Thoreau by Franklin Benjamin Sanborn audiobook.

Genre: biography

Written by Concord reformer and firsthand acquaintance Franklin Benjamin Sanborn, Henry D. Thoreau offers an intimate portrait of the man behind Walden and the era that shaped him. Drawing on personal memories, family testimony, and the literary circles of Emerson and the Transcendentalists, Sanborn follows Thoreau from his New England roots and youth through his emergence as a restless scholar, precise observer of nature, and uncompromising moral voice. The story moves between the ordinary details of work reminding us that Thoreau had to earn his living, and the extraordinary intensity of a mind determined to live by principle, even when that put him at odds with custom, commerce, and public opinion. Along the way, Sanborn maps the friendships and rivalries that tested Thoreau's independence, the quiet discipline of fieldwork that fed his writing, and the social and political storms of mid-19th-century America that demanded a response. At its heart, this is a biography of character: how a private life of woods and words became a public challenge to live deliberately.
