I enjoy biography with a bit of history thrown in. I'll throw out a few that I found great, they kept my attention which is, for me, a good sign! But all our tastes are different. I use Borrow Box for all my audiobooks.
Exodus - Deborah Feldman. About a Hasidic Jewish woman's life in the ultra Orthodox community and how she escaped it.
The Empress and the English doctor - Lucy Ward. Fascinating story about how Catherine the Great agreed to take an experimental smallpox inoculation from an English Quaker doctor to encourage others. Science over superstition.
Empire of Pain - Patrick Radden Keefe. About the Sackler dynasty in the US and their involvement in the opioid crisis. Fascinating and terrifying.
The Bettencourt Affair - Tom Sancton. About Lilaiane Bettencourt the heir to the L'Oreal fortune, and the world's richest woman. Her story is fascinating. Lots of history and family rifts. Great listen.
And the one I'm listening to right now and enjoying it -
The Art of Resistance - Justus Rosenberg. About a man who is sent to France from Poland at the outbreak of WW2, and becomes involved with the Resistance. I'm only a few chapters in, and so far it's very engaging.
