«Hermosa, increíblemente pictórica y llena de detalles sobrecogedores. Un retrato devastador de un lugar y de una comunidad que te atrapa de inmediato por su brutalidad y su belleza». Caryl Lewis Escondido en los valles galeses, rodeado de pinos y abedules plateados, Cwmcysgod podría parecer un lugar tranquilo y soñoliento. Pero basta con detenerse un momento para notar cómo, bajo la superficie, las tensiones hierven a fuego lento. Catrin Bone, de dieciséis años, solo conoce la versión que le han contado, pero ahora empieza a cuestionarse su pequeño mundo, y en especial ese oscuro hecho del pasado que parece amargar a su solitaria madre. Esta tuvo una vez una hermana, Rosalind, de una belleza sin igual. ¿Por qué, hace tantos años, decidió desaparecer de pronto?, ¿y dónde se encuentra ahora? Mientras tanto, sin dinero y sin futuro, los hermanos Clements corren sin control por las colinas, y el viejo Dai Bevel sueña con una chica a la que conoció hace tiempo. Los secretos del ayer se acercan, y hace falta todo un pueblo para seguir manteniéndolos a raya, para ocultar algo monstruoso y mirar hacia otro lado... En esta inquietante fábula moderna sobre la resiliencia de las mujeres, que combina a la perfección lo atmosférico con un certero realismo social, un elenco único de personajes dará voz a las siempre divergentes versiones de la verdad. Pero será la historia de Rosalind Bone y su fuerza la que, resplandeciente de esperanza y posibilidad, se eleve por encima de todo lo demás.

Una enérgica y contundente novela negra en clave de western crepuscular. Coveiro, el sepulturero de Balanegra, cava una fosa. Sin prisa. A golpe de pico y pala ahonda el agujero y mantiene a raya a sus fantasmas. Los muertos no recuerdan nada, y él debería hacer lo mismo. Y es que Coveiro sigue metiendo gente bajo tierra, solo que ahora, ya en la recta final de una vida de violencia, lo hace de manera legal. Flaco consuelo. El ayer, que asoma cada poco entre el mantillo como una flor de hueso, nunca se entierra como es debido. Por eso se ocupa del cementerio, y de cuidar a su sobrino Marco, un chico autista cuya única obsesión es aprenderse todas y cada una de las inscripciones de las lápidas. Hasta que Rubí de Miguel, dueña de Carbac, la industria cárnica más importante del país, orquesta el sepelio del mayor de sus hijos. Pero los planes se tuercen cuando los hombres de Rubí se topan con un testigo incómodo: Marco lo ha visto todo y deciden llevárselo con ellos. Es entonces cuando Coveiro entiende definitivamente que no hay redención posible para hombres como él, que ni la luz crepuscular es capaz de suavizar la superficie basta y roma del hierro viejo. Da igual cuántos años transcurran: las balas del pasado llegan siempre a su debido tiempo. Y ese tiempo ha llegado. «Su voz, tan particular como inquietante, la vamos a escuchar durante los próximos años con la fuerza que se merece». Cesar Pérez Gellida «Un maravilloso ejemplo de potencia narrativa, una nueva voz ágil y ambiciosa». Víctor del Árbol

THE TIME NONFICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR | #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Powerful and timely ... I cannot recommend it strongly enough" - Barack Obama From one of America's most celebrated and insightful writers, the moving, eye-opening bestseller about what lies hidden under the surface of ordinary lives In this brilliant book, Isabel Wilkerson gives us a masterful portrait of an unseen phenomenon in America as she explores, through an immersive, deeply researched narrative and stories about real people, how America today and throughout its history has been shaped by a hidden caste system, a rigid hierarchy of human rankings. Linking the caste systems of America, India, and Nazi Germany, Wilkerson explores eight pillars that underlie caste systems across civilizations, including divine will, bloodlines, stigma, and more. Using riveting stories about people--including Martin Luther King, Jr., baseball's Satchel Paige, a single father and his toddler son, Wilkerson herself, and many others--she shows the ways that the insidious undertow of caste is experienced every day. She documents how the Nazis studied the racial systems in America to plan their out-cast of the Jews; she discusses why the cruel logic of caste requires that there be a bottom rung for those in the middle to measure themselves against; she writes about the surprising health costs of caste, in depression and life expectancy, and the effects of this hierarchy on our culture and politics. Finally, she points forward to ways we can move beyond the artificial and destructive separations of human divisions, toward hope in our common humanity. 'Required reading for all of humanity' Oprah Winfrey "If you haven't read it yet, you absolutely must." - Edward Enninful, Vogue 'An instant American classic' Dwight Garner, The New York Times

Dinslaken, Germany. July 1945. The war is over, and the Allied forces are beginning to assess the damage. Among them is a war photographer. As the rest of the press corps return home, he finds himself reluctant to leave and, in the company of the young and sensitive driver he has been assigned, he sets out to photograph ordinary German people in front of their homes. As the pair continue their journey, it becomes clear that the young driver has his own reasons for not wishing to return home. Told with Mingarelli's trademark restraint and elegance, this is a tense, tender story of the emotional and moral repercussions of violence.

“Imagine The Leftovers, but with honey” (Elle), and in the spirit of Station Eleven and Never Let Me Go, this “spectacular and deeply moving” (Lisa See, New York Times bestselling author) novel follows three generations of beekeepers from the past, present, and future, weaving a spellbinding story of their relationship to the bees—and to their children and one another—against the backdrop of an urgent, global crisis. England, 1852. William is a biologist and seed merchant, who sets out to build a new type of beehive—one that will give both him and his children honor and fame. United States, 2007. George is a beekeeper fighting an uphill battle against modern farming, but hopes that his son can be their salvation. China, 2098. Tao hand paints pollen onto the fruit trees now that the bees have long since disappeared. When Tao’s young son is taken away by the authorities after a tragic accident, she sets out on a grueling journey to find out what happened to him. Haunting, illuminating, and deftly written, The History of Bees joins “the past, the present, and a terrifying future in a riveting story as complex as a honeycomb” (New York Times bestselling author Bryn Greenwood) that is just as much about the powerful bond between children and parents as it is about our very relationship to nature and humanity.

For decades the blood-steeped Burroughs clan ruled Bull Mountain, Georgia. They ran moonshine across borderlines, farmed marijuana and supplied meth across six states. Now they're gone, leaving Clayton – the only good son born of a crooked tree – the last surviving member. As sheriff of Bull Mountain, Clayton wants to bury his brutal family legacy and call time on the savage feuds that built the Burroughs empire. But predators are moving in, wanting to re-establish the flow of drugs and cash through the town. And the death of a boy belonging to a rival clan brings the wolves straight to Clayton's door. To save his mountain, and his family, Clayton must choose between the past he can't escape and the law...

‘Sebald is the Joyce of the 21st Century’ The Times What begins as the record of W. G. Sebald’s own journey on foot through coastal East Anglia, from Lowestoft to Bungay, becomes the conductor of evocations of people and cultures past and present. From Chateaubriand, Thomas Browne, Swinburne and Conrad, to fishing fleets, skulls and silkworms, the result is an intricately patterned and haunting book on the transience of all things human. ‘A novel of ideas with a difference: it is nothing but ideas... Formally dexterous, fearlessly written (why shouldn't an essay be a novel?), and unremittingly arcane; by the end I was in tears’ Teju Cole, Guardian

“Masterly deftness, funny sentence by funny sentence...a moving and intricately braided story of two mothers.”—JONATHAN FRANZEN, The Guardian This “beguiling, addictive read” (People, Book of the Week) and Belletrist Book Club pick about a blue-blooded single mother raising her daughter in rarefied New York City is a “carefully observed family story [that] rings true to life” (The New York Times Book Review). Laura hails from the Upper East Side of Manhattan, born into old money, drifting aimlessly into her early thirties. One weekend in 1981 she meets a man. The two sleep together. He vanishes. And Laura realizes she’s pregnant. Enter: Emma. “Unputdownable” (Library Journal) and “wryly observed” (Vogue), Laura & Emma follows Laura as she raises Emma in New York City over the next fifteen years. With wit and compassion, Kate Greathead explores the many flaws and quirks that make us human. Laura’s story hosts a cast of effervescent and original characters, including her eccentric mother, who informs her society friends and Emma herself that she was fathered by a Swedish sperm donor; her brother, whose childhood stutter reappears in the presence of their forbidding father; an exceptionally kind male pediatrician; and her overbearing best friend, whose life has followed the Park Avenue script in every way except for childbearing. “Kate Greathead’s debut novel gamely takes on class conflict, single motherhood, and the discreet pretension of the 1980s Upper East Side” (New York magazine) and is a “layered story about mothers and daughters and identity” (Entertainment Weekly). Told in vignettes whose every “restrained and understated sentence has been polished to glittering brightness” (Vox), Laura & Emma is “an incisive comedy of manners about class divides and the ‘burdens’ of being born privileged” (Esquire) and “a thoughtful novel of trying to find oneself despite an assigned place in the world” (Publishers Weekly).

Lydia Smith, a clerk at the Bright Ideas bookstore, calls the lonely regulars who spend every day marauding the store's overwhelmed shelves "BookFrogs." When Joey Molina, a young BookFrog, kills himself in the bookstore's upper room, he bequeaths his meager worldly possessions to her. Trinkets and books; the detritus of a lonely, uncared for man. But they seem to contain a hidden message. As Lydia untangles the mystery of Joey's suicide, she unearths a long buried memory from her own violent childhood.
