So, it’s been brought to my attention on AO3 that all 66 chapters of Islands of Mercy is on Spotify. To help bring it all together, I made a playlist of it in order. I can’t figure out how to find the “share” feature so I had to screenshot it. The playlist is public so you should be able to see it. If you find the share link, please let me know and I’ll add it below!
Here is the link the AO3 commenter shared with me under my story that deals with the book. AO3 FFN Story is called A Kidnapping Gone Wrong.

October 25, 2022 – Langblr Reactivation Challenge, Week 1
Busy day. From 8:30 to 13:10 I attended Russian Literature, Russian Language 2 and 3. I'm really happy with my notes on Lermontov. Started a crocheting project, while listening to the Islands of Mercy audiobook. It's a rather verbose novel, but I'm enjoying the plot!

Day 2: Write a list of goals you have for your target languages. Make both long term and short term goals. An overall goal could be to have the ability to talk with native speakers with ease and a smaller goal would be to finally learn that difficult grammar point that's been plaguing you for ages. How will you achieve them?
EN || long term: speak and write as fast as a native speaker; -> short term: acquire the necessary vocabulary to understand academic articles in my area of study (and pass English Pragmatics)
RU || long term: be able to understand native speakers and short books; -> short term: get hold of the motion verbs and expand my vocabulary
DA || long term: converse with my Danish "family" with ease; -> short term: learn basic vocabulary for daily activities
SRD || long term: being able to speak with and understand native speakers enough to make small talk or short conversations easy; -> short term: learn some some basic grammar, mainly regular verbs' conjugation

Does anyone know what happened to the Google drive containing the Islands of Mercy audiobook narrated by Katie McGrath? The folder is empty. 😭 I really liked how there was a separate audio file for each chapter. 🥺

Does anyone know where I could listen to the Islands of Mercy audiobook in the US? It isn’t available on Audible and I used to have a link for the full thing on SoundCloud, but don’t anymore.

Another great women loving women historical fiction novel is Islands of Mercy by Rose Tremain. The audiobook is narrated by the amazing Katie McGrath. The ebook can be found everywhere but the audiobook isn’t available in the United States. It has been put in a playlist on Spotify.

She was ‘The Angel of the Baths’, the one woman whose touch everybody yearned for. Yet she would do more. She was certain of that.
In the city of Bath, in the year 1865, an extraordinary young woman renowned for her nursing skills is convinced that some other destiny will one day show itself to her. But when she finds herself torn between a dangerous affair with a female lover and the promise of a conventional marriage to an apparently respectable doctor, her desires begin to lead her towards a future she had never imagined.
Meanwhile, on the wild island of Borneo, an eccentric British ‘rajah’, Sir Ralph Savage, overflowing with philanthropy but compromised by his passions, sees his schemes relentlessly undermined by his own fragility, by man’s innate greed and by the invasive power of the forest itself.
Jane’s quest for an altered life and Sir Ralph’s endeavours become locked together as the story journeys across the globe – from the confines of an English tearoom to the rainforests of a tropical island via the slums of Dublin and the transgressive fancy-dress boutiques of Paris.
Islands of Mercy is a novel that ignites the senses, and is a bold exploration of the human urge to seek places of sanctuary in a pitiless world.

life, so often so cruel in the way it thrust the human soul into prisons from which there seemed to be no escape, could sometimes place it athwart an open door.

Why bother to hide it? They are quite literally getting away with ethnic cleansing. Israel has been emboldened and are saying the quiet parts outloud.
