'Beautiful, incredibly painterly and full of breathtaking details. A devastating portrait of a particular place, which draws you in with its brutality and beauty' CARYL LEWIS, author of DRIFT 'Incredibly assured, carefully observed, full of heart. A quietly devastating read which lingers long after the final page' JAN CARSON _____________ Tucked into the Welsh valleys and encircled by silver birch and pine, the village of Cwmcysgod may appear a quiet, sleepy sort of place. But beneath the surface, tensions simmer, hearts ache, and painful truths threaten to emerge. Sixteen-year-old Catrin Bone knows only what she has been told. Now, she is beginning to question her small world, and a version of the past that seems to entrap and embitter her reclusive mother, Mary. Mary had a sister once, a girl of unparalleled beauty. Why did she disappear from the village in a shroud of shame all those years ago - and where is she now? Meanwhile the Clements brothers, skint and all out of hope, run rampant across the hills and lanes. And old Dai Bevel, whose frailty masks a dark history, dreams of a girl he used to know... The sins of the past are approaching, for it takes a village: to raise a child, to bring down a woman, to hide something monstrous and to look the other way. In this tender, sly, exquisitely wrought novella, a unique cast of characters give voice to their versions of the truth. But it is the story of Rosalind Bone, of her strength and of all that she has endured, that rises above the rest, shimmering with hope and possibility...

Von Schönheit und vom Wegsehen: Es gibt viele Gerüchte darüber, wohin Mary Bones Schwester damals verschwunden ist. Schon als Kind hat deren Schönheit den ganzen Ort in ihren Bann gezogen, war manchen ein Dorn im Auge, wirklich hinsehen wollte jedoch niemand. Auch Jahre später reden die Leute immer noch über sie, immer noch über ihre Schönheit. Aber im Dorf gibt es noch mehr Geschichten. Während Jugendliche aus Verzweiflung zu Brandstiftern werden, träumt ein dement werdender Mann von einem Mädchen, das er mal gekannt hat, und Marys Tochter, fasziniert von dem einen übriggebliebenen Foto der verschollenen Frau, möchte mehr über die Vergangenheit erfahren. Zwischen Tälern und dichten Wäldern liegt der kleine walisische Ort Cwmcysgod. Ein scheinbar ruhiges Fleckchen Erde, doch unter der Oberfläche lauern Flammen. Poetische Sprache trifft harte Realität: Die Schönheit der Rosalind Bone ist der zarte, fast märchenhafte und zugleich sprachgewaltige Debütroman von Alex McCarthy, einer neuen Stimme aus Wales, über die Verstrickungen innerhalb eines Dorfes, das Schicksal einer starken Frau und darüber, wie erdrückend ein einziges Wort sein kann. Das gleichnamige Hörbuch erscheint bei GOYALiT.

«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.

Catrin Bone vive nel villaggio gallese di Cwmcysgod con la madre Mary, una donna spigolosa e solitaria. Cwmcysgod, tetti di ardesia, piccole case a schiera annidate sul fianco di una collina, una fabbrica abbandonata, è un paese immutabile, sempre uguale a sé stesso, in cui i vicini spiano la strada da dietro le tende appena scostate e aspettano sera seduti sui bidoni nei cortili. Catrin dorme nella stessa stanza che è stata di sua zia, Rosalind Bone. Da quando ha memoria, ha sentito raccontare storie sulla sorella di sua madre, una ragazza a detta di tutti di una bellezza straordinaria ma, secondo i piú, fredda ed egoista. Egoista al punto da aver abbandonato il paese, in una notte di ventisette anni prima, senza lasciare nemmeno un biglietto. In fuga, come una criminale. Di lei rimane soltanto una fotografia, in fondo a un cassetto che Mary tiene ben chiuso come a volerne contenere l’influenza malefica. Rosalind era bella, e Mary non lo era. E solo dopo la scomparsa di Rosalind il paese si era accorto della sua esistenza, lei che era rimasta all’ombra di quella bellezza eccessiva, ingombrante, pericolosa. Ma Catrin, sedici anni quanti ne aveva Rosalind l’ultima volta che è stata vista, sente irresistibile il richiamo della foto di quella giovane donna che non ha mai conosciuto, e la guarda di nascosto ancora e ancora. Poi un giorno la ragazza soccorre una vagabonda, accasciata contro un muro. È in condizioni pietose, lurida e coperta di stracci, dice un’unica parola: «Fuoco». Nessuno la conosce. Nessuno si fa avanti per reclamarla. Le notizie sul suo stato di salute provocano nella gente del villaggio tutt’al piú reazioni di circostanza. Solo Catrin veglia al suo capezzale, aspettando che la sconosciuta riprenda coscienza. Ma gli abitanti di Cwmcysgod temono quel risveglio; sentono avvicinarsi la resa dei conti con i peccati del passato. Perché ci vuole un villaggio intero per allevare una bambina, per rovinare una donna, per nascondere qualcosa di orribile e guardare dall’altra parte.

When several children from the same village start succumbing to a mysterious illness, the quest to discover the cause has devastating and extraordinary consequences. 'Absolutely MAGNIFICENT: dark, witty, charming. I LOVED it.' MARIAN KEYES 'Utterly absorbing' LISA MCINERNEY 'Heart-rending, hilarious . . . it's a belter' LOUISE KENNEDY 'Blistering...glorious...written from the guts and from the heart.' LUCY CALDWELL 'An original and exciting work that's equal parts terrifying, hilarious and memorable.' SUNDAY TIMES It is late June in Ballylack. Hannah Adger anticipates eight long weeks' reprieve from school, but when her classmate Ross succumbs to a violent and mysterious illness, it marks the beginning of a summer like no other. As others fall ill, questions about what - or who - is responsible pitch the village into conflict and fearful disarray. Hannah is haunted by guilt as she remains healthy while her friends are struck down. Isolated and afraid, she prays for help. Elsewhere in the village, tempers simmer, panic escalates and long-buried secrets threaten to emerge. Bursting with Carson's trademark wit, profound empathy and soaring imagination, The Raptures explores how tragedy can unite a small community - and tear it apart. At its heart is the extraordinary resilience of one young girl. As the world crumbles around her, she must find the courage to be different in a place where conforming feels like the only option available. Darkly funny, highly inventive and deeply moving, The Raptures is an unmissable novel of 2022.

The Pulitzer Prize–finalist’s intimate autobiographical novel of a marriage cut tragically short is “a beautiful love story, and an extraordinary story of loss” (Colm Tóibín). In 2005, celebrated novelist Francisco Goldman married Aura Estrada. The two were deeply in love, and Aura was a gifted young writer on the cusp of her own brilliant career. But while on vacation only a month before their second anniversary, Aura died in a tragic accident. In Say Her Name, Goldman pours his feelings of love and unspeakable grief into a fictionalized account of their brief time together. Desperate to keep Aura alive in his memory, Goldman collects everything he can about her, delving deeply into the writings she left behind. From her childhood and university days in Mexico City to her studies at Columbia University, through the couple’s time in New York City and travels to Europe, Goldman composes a vivid and multifaceted portrait. Filled with “propulsive drama” (The Boston Globe), Say Her Name is a tribute to who Aura Estrada was and who she would’ve been, that “will also transport you into the most primal joy in the human repertoire—the joy of loving—and reveal it with aching vibrancy” (San Francisco Chronicle).
