La última gran saga familiar de la literatura inglesa del siglo XX. «La cima de la sofisticación británica. No pasa nada en la vieja y señorial casa de campo de los Cazalet y resulta que pasa todo». Fernando R. Lafuente, ABC «La arquitectura de los personajes y las palabras con las que se les da vida hacen que uno, irremisiblemente prendado de los Cazalet, desee seguir atado a sus crónicas». Robert Saladrigas, La Vanguardia «Los inolvidables Cazalet nos dan una lección de belleza y verdad como solo la literatura es capaz de plasmar». José María Guelbenzu, El País «Tan distinguida, elegante y refinada como sus incontables admiradores podrían esperar».Julian Barnes «Junto con Iris Murdoch, la escritora más importante de su generación». Martin Amis «Una deslumbrante reconstrucción histórica». Penelope Fitzgerald Estamos en 1939. Hitler acaba de invadir Polonia y los primeros nubarrones de la guerra van ensombreciendo la vida de los Cazalet: en su residencia de Sussex hay que cegar la luz de las ventanas, la escasez de alimentos empieza a hacerse notar y las exigencias del esfuerzo bélico obligan a los miembros de la familia a enfrentar complicadas decisiones. Algunos hombres —los ancianos, los lisiados— tienen que resignarse a ver cómo los demás son llamados a luchar por su país; otros, en cambio, solo querrían regresar intactos a casa tras el infierno de Dunquerque. Pero son las mujeres quienes, en suelo inglés, ocupan en realidad la escena con una fuerza y un estoicismo sin fisuras durante los primeros compases de la contienda. Y los más jóvenes, vitalistas y ocupados en conquistar esa libertad de acción que confunden con ser adulto, olvidan demasiado deprisa que, de haber un paraíso, se encuentra en los años que ellos, y todo el continente europeo, están dejando atrás definitivamente. Tiempo de espera, segundo volumen de las Crónicas de los Cazalet, es una historia de amor y pérdida, de lucha y sacrificio, el minucioso retrato del universo particular de tres generaciones desplegado sobre un lienzo mucho más amplio: el del convulso acontecer del siglo XX.

«Con el tiempo sus Crónicas, como las de Trollope, se leerán como clásicos sobre la vida en Inglaterra». SYBILLE BEDFORD Primavera de 1942, el mayor conflicto armado de la historia de la humanidad se adentra en su cuarto año. Las incursiones aéreas y el racionamiento son moneda corriente, el caos se ha convertido en una forma de vida. Sin embargo, algo empieza a moverse entre los jóvenes Cazalet: el tiempo de espera ha terminado y el ingreso en el incitante mundo adulto parece haber llegado por fin. Bajo la pétrea moral victoriana del sacrificio y el esfuerzo bélico apuntan, sobre todo para las mujeres, unos hábitos menos encorsetados que permiten amar y trabajar con mayor libertad. Y así, en una sucesión de nacimientos y pérdidas, de matrimonios y relaciones ilícitas, va desarrollándose la vida del clan, de sus amigos y de sus amantes, que con la cabeza alta siguen adelante y sueñan con la paz después de la guerra, con el momento en que las familias volverán a reunirse y las heridas empezarán a sanar, con la igualdad y la justicia que el nuevo orden traerá consigo, con el día en que, definitivamente, acabará tanta confusión. La monumental saga de Elizabeth Jane Howard, una de las construcciones novelísticas más ambiciosas y acabadas de la literatura inglesa del siglo XX, sostiene con toda precisión en este tercer volumen el tempo y la intensidad a los que nos tiene habituados.

«Algo de antigüedad y ruina, de esplendor y decadencia, late en las ficciones de Agustín García Simón, una mirada que recompone el pasado desde la actualidad degradada de su espejo, un tiempo hostil que nutre la conciencia de las pérdidas y las desapariciones, entre el sufrimiento y la melancolía».LUIS MATEO DÍEZ El trazo que marca la vida de Heliodoro García Vallejo, en el territorio de la memoria de Hontanalta, es una línea de sombra en el natural contraste de su luz espléndida y la cruda realidad de la Castilla del siglo XX, desde sus primeros compases hasta el desarrollismo de los años sesenta, y el definitivo periclitar de la sociedad rural en los setenta. Detrás del trampantojo secular de una vida rústica, estancada en las miasmas de la decadencia, surgen las pasiones descarnadas de unos seres ahormados por la inercia y la necesidad. Solo el tajo de la guerra sacudirá con su impacto rotundo las ondas de esta balsa cenagosa, en que sus moradores, lejos de encontrar nuevos caminos, mimetizarán su existencia, adaptándola penosamente a un tiempo oscuro e interminable. No solo por su retrato psicológico y la ajustada descripción de su contexto, sino por la belleza de su narración y la riqueza excepcional de la lengua castellana, que aquí alcanza un nuevo esplendor, La herida del tiempo es una novela extraordinaria en el panorama reciente de la literatura en español.

New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice From acclaimed Argentine author Pedro Mairal and Man Booker International-winning translator Jennifer Croft, the unforgettable story of two would-be lovers over the course of a single day. Lucas Pereyra, an unemployed writer in his forties, embarks on a day trip from Buenos Aires to Montevideo to pick up fifteen thousand dollars in cash. An advance due to him on his upcoming novel, the small fortune might mean the solution to his problems, most importantly the tension he has with his wife. While she spends her days at work and her nights out on the town-with a lover, perhaps, he doesn't know for sure-Lucas is stuck at home all day staring at the blank page, caring for his son Maiko and fantasizing about the one thing that keeps him going: the woman from Uruguay whom he met at a conference and has been longing to see ever since. But that woman, Magalí Guerra Zabala, is a free spirit with her own relationship troubles, and the day they spend together in this beautiful city on the beach winds up being nothing like Lucas predicted. The constantly surprising, moving story of this dramatically transformative day in their lives, The Woman from Uruguay is both a gripping narrative and a tender, thought-provoking exploration of the nature of relationships. An international bestseller published in fourteen countries, it is the masterpiece of one of the most original voices in Latin American literature today.

LONGLISTED FOR THE CWA INTERNATIONAL DAGGER 2018 Antoine is twelve years old. His parents are divorced and he lives with his mother in Beauval, a small, backwater town surrounded by forests, where everyone knows everyone's business, and nothing much ever happens. But in the last days of 1999, a series of events unfolds, culminating in the shocking vanishing without trace of a young child. The adults of the town are at a loss to explain the disappearance, but for Antoine, it all begins with the violent death of his neighbour's dog. From that one brutal act, his fate and the fate of his neighbour's six year old son are bound forever. In the years following Rémi's disappearance, Antoine wrestles with the role his actions played. As a seemingly inescapable net begins to tighten, breaking free from the suffocating environs of Beauval becomes a gnawing obsession. But how far does he have to run, and how long will it take before his past catches up with him again? Translated from the French by Frank Wynne

The inspiration for the major film Jojo Rabbit by Taika Waititi An avid member of the Hitler Youth in 1940s Vienna, Johannes Betzler discovers his parents are hiding a Jewish girl named Elsa behind a false wall in their home. His initial horror turns to interest—then love and obsession. After his parents disappear, Johannes is the only one aware of Elsa’s existence in the house and he alone is responsible for her fate. Drawing strength from his daydreams about Hitler, Johannes plans for the end of the war and what it might mean for him and Elsa. The inspiration for the major film Jojo Rabbit by Taika Waititi, Caging Skies, sold in over twenty countries, is a work of rare power; a stylistic and storytelling triumph. Startling, blackly comic, and written in Christine Leunens’s gorgeous, muscular prose, this novel, her U.S. debut, is singular and unforgettable.
