Una deliciosa novela sobre el significado de la familia y los lugares a los que llamamos hogar, sobre la amistad y la búsqueda del verdadero camino en la vida. Esme Cahill cree haber fracasado estrepitosamente. Despedida de su trabajo como editora en Nueva York, divorciada y con poco más que un destartalado coche y una pila de manuscritos inacabados, regresa a casa, a Asheville, con el fin de cumplir el deseo de su difunta abuela Adele, quien, justo antes de morir, le había rogado que volviera al lugar donde se crio. Allí descubre que el otrora encantador refugio a orillas del lago que regentaba su familia se precipita irremisiblemente hacia la ruina económica; por lo que, con la ayuda de su abuelo George, su distanciada madre, Robyn, y el chef itinerante (y creador del mejor sándwich de queso a la plancha del mundo) Dawes, decide ponerse manos a la obra. En el desván, Esme encuentra un tesoro de colchas artesanales dignas de un museo tejidas por Adele. Al reconstruir el relato que las inspira, Esme revela un capítulo olvidado de su familia y la historia no contada de su abuela, la de una talentosa artista que nunca recibió el reconocimiento que merecía. Una novela emotiva, a veces divertida y muy humana, sobre lo que significa ser familia: los lazos que nos unen y las heridas involuntarias que nos pueden separar. Y, en el camino, Esme aprende que el fracaso puede ser el primer paso hacia la vida que uno está destinado a encontrar. «Marie Bostwick es mi autora de cabecera para las novelas que me hacen sentir bien. Su escritura es siempre poderosa, inspiradora y edificante». Robyn Carr «Marie Bostwick sorprende con esta sabia y entrañable novela sobre asumir riesgos, perseguir sueños y encontrar consuelo en los lugares que más amas. Marie Bostwick es la mejor narradora». Kristy Woodson Harvey, autora del best seller de The New York Times con The Wedding Veil «Este libro tiene todo lo que me gusta: una heroína divertida y valiente que sabe sobrellevar el fracaso, mujeres que se ayudan, un complejo turístico a orillas de un lago que necesita grandes reparaciones, una familia cariñosa y disfuncional... ¡y tarta de caramelo! Y colchas. Leí este libro sabio y reconfortante de un tirón porque no podía parar. Y ahora quiero una segunda parte». Maddie Dawson, autora del best seller Snap Out of It

Nada une tanto a la familia como un asesinato a la vuelta de la esquina. La influyente empresaria Lana Rubicon tiene mucho de lo que enorgullecerse: su sagaz inteligencia, un gusto impecable y el imperio inmobiliario que ha construido en Los Ángeles. Pero, cuando se encuentra atrapada a quinientos kilómetros al norte de la ciudad, convaleciente en un aburrido pueblo costero con su hija adulta Beth y su nieta adolescente Jack, a Lana no le queda más remedio que contar nutrias en vez de metros cuadrados, con la esperanza de que el aburrimiento no acabe con ella antes que el cáncer. Hasta que Jack –pequeña en estatura, pero con una independencia feroz– se topa con un cadáver mientras monta en kayak. Enseguida se convierte en sospechosa de la investigación por homicidio y las mujeres Rubicon se sumen en el caos. Beth cree que Lana debería concentrarse en su recuperación, pero Lana tiene otros planes. Se pondrá su peluca, encontrará al verdadero asesino, protegerá a su familia y demostrará que aún tiene poder. Con la ayuda de Jack y Beth, Lana destapa una red de mentiras, venganzas familiares y disputas territoriales que acechan bajo la superficie de una comunidad poblada por rústicos ecologistas y acaudalados rancheros. Pero, conforme su investigación de aficionadas se adentra en terrenos cada vez más peligrosos, las testarudas mujeres Rubicon deberán aprender a hacer lo único que siempre se les ha resistido: depender las unas de las otras. «Divertida y escalofriante a partes iguales: una entretenida novela de misterio». BENJAMIN STEVENSON, autor de Todos en mi familia han matado a alguien « Asesinatos en familia, de Nina Simon, es una novela única. Una ligera y tierna historia familiar que Simon transforma con destreza en una novela de misterio que te mantendrá en vilo, con el telón de fondo del ecologismo: ninguna novela había logrado que el drama familiar (o el asesinato) fuera tan divertido. Una mezcla entre La camarera y un drama familiar estilo De buena familia». KATY HAYS, autora superventas de The New York Times « Asesinatos en familia es la mezcla perfecta de drama familiar y novela de misterio. El debut de Nina Simon se adentra con maestría en las complicadas relaciones entre padres e hijos. Estoy deseando pasar más noches con sus personajes. Simon es una escritora a tener en cuenta». KELLYE GARRETT, autora superventas de Like a Sister «Con una atmósfera acogedora, esta novela de misterio, el debut de su autora, gira en torno a las heridas familiares y a la redención, y dejará a los lectores con un agradable sabor de boca».

“The Restoration of Celia Fairchild is wise, witty, and utterly compelling.” —Jane Green, New York Times bestselling author of The Friends We Keep Evvie Drake Starts Over meets The Friday Night Knitting Club in this wise and witty novel about a fired advice columnist who discovers lost and found family members in Charleston, by the New York Times bestselling author of The Second Sister. Celia Fairchild, known as advice columnist ‘Dear Calpurnia’, has insight into everybody’s problems – except her own. Still bruised by the end of a marriage she thought was her last chance to create a family, Celia receives an unexpected answer to a “Dear Birthmother” letter. Celia throws herself into proving she’s a perfect adoptive mother material – with a stable home and income – only to lose her job. Her one option: sell the Charleston house left to her by her recently departed, estranged Aunt Calpurnia. Arriving in Charleston, Celia learns that Calpurnia had become a hoarder, the house is a wreck, and selling it will require a drastic, rapid makeover. The task of renovation seems overwhelming and risky. But with the help of new neighbors, old friends, and an unlikely sisterhood of strong, creative women who need her as much as she needs them, Celia knits together the truth about her estranged family — and about herself. The Restoration of Celia Fairchild is an unforgettable novel of secrets revealed, laughter released, creativity rediscovered, and waves of wisdom by a writer Robyn Carr calls "my go-to author for feel-good novels.”

In this compelling, heartwarming novel from New York Times bestselling author Marie Bostwick, one woman finds new purpose in a new phase of life . . . “Whatever comes your way, find the happiness in it.” Hope Carpenter received that advice from her mother decades ago. Now, with their four children grown, Hope and her husband, Rick, are suddenly facing an uncertain future, after a forced retirement strains both their savings and their marriage. Seeking inspiration and a financial boost, Hope gets a job teaching crafts to inmates at a local women’s prison. At first, Hope feels foolish and irrelevant, struggling to relate to women whose choices seem so different from her own. But with time, and the encouragement of the prison chaplain, she begins to discover common ground with the inmates, in their worries about their children and families, their fear of having failed those who need them. Just like her, they want to make something of themselves, but believe it might be impossible. Embarking on an ambitious quilting project, Hope and her students begin to bond. Together, piece by piece, they learn to defy expectations—their own and others’—and to see that it’s never too late to stitch together a life that, even in its imperfections, is both surprising and beautiful. Praise for Marie Bostwick and Her Novels “Reading Marie Bostwick is like wrapping yourself up in a warm, hand-crafted quilt.” —Debbie Macomber, #1 New York Times bestselling author “It takes great skill to write a heartwarming story about grief, and Bostwick proves she is up to the task. . . . A great addition to any women’s-fiction collection.” —Booklist “Beautiful, thought-provoking, tragic and redeeming, The Second Sister is a feel-good goldmine.” —USAToday.com

The first novel to appear in English by one of the most talked-about and critically acclaimed writers of new Mexican fiction. From a psychoanalyst's couch, the narrator looks back on her bizarre childhood—in which she was born with an abnormality in her eye into a family intent on fixing it. In a world without the time and space for innocence, the narrator intimately recalls her younger self—a fierce and discerning girl open to life’s pleasures and keen to its ruthless cycle of tragedy. With raw language and a brilliant sense of humor, both delicate and unafraid, Nettel strings together hard-won, unwieldy memories—taking us from Mexico City to Aix-en-Provence, France, then back home again—to create a portrait of the artist as a young girl. In these pages, Nettel’s art of storytelling transforms experience into inspiration and a new startling perception of reality. "Nettel's eye…gives rise to a tension, subtle but persistent, that immerses us in an uncomfortable reality, disquieting, even disturbing—a gaze that illuminates her prose like an alien sun shining down on our world." —Valeria Luiselli, author of Sidewalks and Faces in the Crowd "It has been a long time since I've found in the literature of my generation a world as personal and untransferable as that of Guadalupe Nettel." —Juan Gabriel Vásquez, author of The Sound of Things Falling "Nettel reveals the subliminal beauty within beings…and painstakingly examines the intimacies of her soul." —Magazine Littéraire “Guadalupe Nettel’s storytelling power is majestic."—Typographical Era In Praise of Natural Histories "Five flawless stories..." —The New York Times “Nettel’s stories are as atmospheric and emotionally battering as Checkhov’s.”—Asymptote

A novel of five lifelong friends who, in their sixties, decide to live together on a cocoa farm in Fiji, where they not only start a chocolate business but strengthen their friendships and rediscover themselves. "I've planted my feet on Fijian earth and I intend to stay here until the last sunset. Why don't you join me? Leave behind everything that didn't work out!" When Sina, Maya, Ingrid, and Lisbeth each receive a letter in the mail posing the same question, the answer is obvious. Their old high school friend Kat—Kat the adventurer, Kat who spread her wings and took off as soon as they graduated—has extended the invitation of a lifetime: Come live with me on my cocoa farm in Fiji. Come spend the days eating chocolate and gabbing like teenagers once again, free from men, worries, and cold. Come grow old in paradise, together, as sisters. Who could say no? Now in their sixties, the friends have all but resigned themselves to the cards they've been dealt. There's Sina, a single mom with financial woes; gentle Maya who feels the world slipping away from her; Ingrid, the perennial loner; Lisbeth, a woman with a seemingly picture-perfect life; and then Kat, who is recently widowed. As they adjust to their new lives together, the friends are watched over by Ateca, Kat's longtime housekeeper, who oftentimes knows the women better than they know themselves and recognizes them for what they are: like "a necklace made of shells: from the same beach but all of them different." Surrounded by an azure-blue ocean, cocoa trees, and a local culture that is fascinatingly, joyfully alien, the friends find a new purpose in starting a business making chocolate: bittersweet, succulent pieces of happiness. A story of love, hope, and chocolate, PIECES OF HAPPINESS will reaffirm your faith in friendship, second chances, and the importance of indulging one's sweet tooth.

Siamese fighting fish, cockroaches, cats, a snake, and a strange fungus all serve here as mirrors that reflect the unconfessable aspects of human nature buried within us. The traits and fates of these animals illuminate such deeply natural, human experiences as the cruelty born of cohabitation, the desire to reproduce and the impulse not to, and the inexplicable connection that can bind, eerily, two beings together. Each Nettel tale creates, with tightly wound narrative tension, a space wherein her characters feel excruciatingly human, exploring how the wounds we incur in life manifest themselves within us, clandestinely, irrevocably, both unseen and overtly. In a precise writing style that is both subtle and spellbinding, Nettel renders the ordinary unsettling, and the grotesque exquisite. Natural Histories is the winner of the 3rd Ribera del Duero International Award for Short Narratives, an important Spanish literature prize.
