Listen to Fair Shares for All: A Memoir of Family and Food by John Haney
Enjoy this audiobook with MP3 Audiobook Player - the ultimate iOS audiobook experience
In this beautifully written, vividly rendered memoir, John Haney, Gourmet magazine’s copy chief, describes his family’s day-to-day struggles, from the twilight of Queen Victoria’s reign to the dawn of the third millennium, in London’s least affluent working-class enclaves and suburbs, including a place called the Isle of Dogs–and reflects on how his family’s affection for the past and the food they loved kept them together. In crossing the Atlantic–and with it the class barrier–John is left with deep feelings of displacement and nostalgia for his Cockney roots. As he eats in some of New York City’s most expensive restaurants, he tries (and fails) to reconcile his new appetites with the indelible tastes of his youth–and the long-ago life that has continued to, and always will, define him. Peopled with unforgettable characters who find in even the greasiest kitchens the sustenance to see them through life’s hardships, Fair Shares for All is a remarkable memoir of resolve and resilience, food and family.

Audiobooks have become my companion during long walks, transforming exercise into a pleasure. Gone are the days of straining my eyes to read – this app lets me 'read' with my ears, anywhere, anytime. The speed adjustment feature is my secret weapon for studying complex materials. Decent narration, predictable story. The voice actor did a good job, but the plot followed a familiar formula. If you’re looking for something new and groundbreaking, this might not be it.

It's a pleasure to use. I appreciate the dark mode option. It’s easy on the eyes during nighttime listening. This audiobook exceeded all my expectations! The narrator's ability to convey emotion through voice alone was remarkable. I laughed, I gasped, I might have even teared up at points - all because of the incredible vocal performance. The story came alive in a way reading alone couldn't achieve.
This app's convenience has made me fall in love with audiobooks all over again. No more interruptions – the auto-rewind feature is a genius solution for seamless listening. An average audiobook experience. Nothing was wrong with it—the narration was fine, and the story was okay—but nothing particularly stood out. It served its purpose as entertainment during my commute. The subtle background music at key moments enhanced the experience without being distracting. More audiobooks should use this technique when appropriate!
ListenBook's audio filters are a fantastic addition, enhancing the sound quality of my audio files. ListenBook Pro's noise reduction feature is like a magic wand that transforms even the noisiest environments into cozy listening spaces.
