Story
The long-awaited new novel from one of America's most highly regarded contemporary writers, The Committed follows the Sympathizer as he arrives in Paris as a refugee. There he and his blood brother, Bon, try to escape their pasts and prepare for their futures by turning their hands to capitalism in one of its purest forms: drug dealing. No longer in physical danger, but still inwardly tortured by his re-education at the hands of his former best friend, and struggling to assimilate into a dominant culture, the Sympathizer is both charmed and disturbed by Paris.

Story
Sarah is a smart young lawyer living in Bondi when she falls head over heels. Daniel is handsome and passionate. When Daniel introduces her to a charismatic young couple, rabbi Menachem Lev and his wife, Chani, despite herself, Sarah is drawn in by the vibrant community at the beachside synagogue. By the time the couple move to the Jamison Valley, where Menachem and Chani have established a community of believers, Sarah can’t imagine life without the joy, purpose and love she’s discovered. Four years on, youthful passion has given way to something darker.

Story
Born from a long line of female warriors and crusaders, yet too coarse, too wild, too rough-hewn for courtly life, Marie de France is cast from the royal court. Woefully, she is sent to the muddy fields of Angleterre to take up her new duty as the prioress of an impoverished abbey. The abbey is a dreadful place: its inhabitants are on the brink of starvation, beset by disease, stoic and stern, yet plagued with an unholy tendency to gossip. Marie cannot help but pine for the decadence and comfort of France, her secret lover Cecily, her queen Eleanor and the court that had spited her.

Publisher's Summary
London has changed a lot over the years. The Soho that Precious and Tabitha live and work in is barely recognisable anymore. And now, the building they call their home is under threat; its billionaire-owner Agatha wants to kick the women out to build expensive restaurants and luxury flats. Men like Robert, who visit the brothel, will have to go elsewhere.
The collection of vagabonds and strays in the basement will have to find somewhere else to live. But the women are not going to go quietly. They have plans to make things difficult for Agatha but she isn't taking no for an answer.
Hot Stew is an insightful and ambitious novel about property, ownership, wealth and inheritance. It is about the place we occupy in society, especially women, and the importance placed on class and money. It doesn't shy away from asking difficult questions but does so with humour and intelligence.

Couldn't turn it off!
Such an elegant story with so much depth and "en courrant "
It's going to be a favourite read for sure!
The Audible reader has great versatility although I noted a few vocal errors

great story
really good story but narrator kept mispronouncing words. No producer? For a Booker prize winner feel that production values should have been better. Shame, because she has a lovely voice and great use of tone.

A huge yawn
This is without exception the most tedious book I have ever tried to listen to. Nothing happens, at least for the time I persevered. I could find nothing to engage me with the characters, some of whom should have been entertaining in the hands of a better writer. The setting should have occasioned equally entertaining situations and happenings but the narrative portrayed everything at a dreary, monotonous level.
The narrator could not do anything to enliven such an abysmal script but how on earth could she not know how to pronounce such ordinary words as 'sow' (female pig) , zucchini, fecund, facsimile, Samuel Pepys. She did, however, do a good job at different accents.
I so wish I could have a refund on this one but Amazon said "No"
