Resumen del editor:

Novela de amor de una intensidad sobrecogedora, aborda con su mordaz sentido del humor la distancia entre México y Estados Unidos, el amor, la ira y la complejidad de las relaciones de pareja y el antimachismo.

Con una prosa ágil y desenfadada, José Agustín traza el destino de Eligio y Susana en un mundo gris, superficial, aunque capaz de torcer el rumbo de cualquiera. El retrato de los personajes, a todas luces entrañables, y la manera como la prosa se extiende sobre la geografía y la relación amorosa, hacen de Ciudades desiertas una gran novela. Ambientada en el fantasmal pero no menos atractivo Estados Unidos, los protagonistas se encuentran para perderse y, más allá de la visión satírica de la sociedad estadounidense -respuesta a los tantos análisis superficiales sobre México escritos por intelectuales anglosajones-, encontramos una reflexión sobre el hecho amoroso, la renuncia y la aceptación.

Publisher's Summary:

"You were adopted." These three simple words, in a letter accompanying her parents' will, tear Nisha's carefully ordered world apart. Raised in England by her caring but emotionally reserved parents, Nisha has never been one to take risks. Now, with the scrawled address of an Indian convent, she begins a search for the mother and family she never knew and the awakening of long forgotten childhood memories. The secrets, culture, and people that Nisha discover will change her life forever. And, as her eyes are opened to a side of herself she didn't know existed, Nisha realizes that she must also seek answers to the hardest question of all-why?

Weaving together the stories of Nisha, Shilpa, and Devi, The Forgotten Daughter explores powerfully and poignantly the emotional themes of motherhood, loss, and identity - ultimately asking the question, what would you do out of love for your children?

Title: The Robber Bride

Author: Margaret Atwood

Narrator: Bernadette Dunne

Format: Unabridged

Length: 20 hrs and 13 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-11-17

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Fiction, Literary

Publisher's Summary:

Margaret Atwood's The Robber Bride is inspired by "The Robber Bridegroom", a wonderfully grisly tale from the Brothers Grimm in which an evil groom lures three maidens into his lair and devours them one by one. But in her version, Atwood brilliantly recasts the monster as Zenia, a villainess of demonic proportions, and sets her loose in the lives of three friends: Tony, Charis, and Roz. All three have lost men, spirit, money, and time to their old college acquaintance, Zenia. At various times, and in various emotional disguises, Zenia has insinuated her way into their lives and practically demolished them.

To Tony, who almost lost her husband and jeopardized her academic career, Zenia is "a lurking enemy commando". To Roz, who did lose her husband and almost her magazine, Zenia is "a cold and treacherous bitch". To Charis, who lost a boyfriend, quarts of vegetable juice, and some pet chickens, Zenia is a kind of zombie, maybe "soulless" (Lorrie Moore, New York Times Book Review). In love and war, illusion and deceit, Zenia's subterranean malevolence takes us deep into her enemies' pasts.

Critic Reviews:

"Moving amid these three women, touching up their portraits with one perfect detail after another, conjuring Zenia from their memories and tears, Atwood is in her glory. What a treasure she is, and what a fine new book she has written" (Newsweek)

Title: The Ninth Hour

Author: Alice McDermott

Narrator: Ash Rizi

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 46 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-07-17

Publisher: Audible Studios for Bloomsbury

Ratings: 1 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Fiction, Literary

Publisher's Summary:

On a dim winter afternoon, a young Irish immigrant opens the gas taps in his Brooklyn tenement. He is determined to prove - to the subway bosses who have recently fired him, to his badgering, pregnant wife - 'that the hours of his life belong to himself alone'. In the aftermath of the fire that follows, Sister St. Savior, an aging nun, a Little Sister of the Sick Poor, appears, unbidden, to direct the way forward for his widow and his unborn child.

In Catholic Brooklyn, in the early part of the 20th century, decorum, superstition, and shame collude to erase the man's brief existence, and yet his suicide, although never spoken of, reverberates through many lives - testing the limits and the demands of love and sacrifice, of forgiveness and forgetfulness, even through multiple generations. Rendered with remarkable lucidity and intelligence, Alice McDermott's The Ninth Hour is a crowning achievement of one of the finest American writers at work today.

Title: That Deadman Dance

Author: Kim Scott

Narrator: Humphrey Bower

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 1 min

Language: English

Release date: 12-12-17

Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Fiction, Literary

Publisher's Summary:

Big-hearted, moving and richly rewarding, That Deadman Dance is set in the first decades of the 19th century in the area around what is now Albany, Western Australia. In playful, musical prose, the book explores the early contact between the Aboriginal Noongar people and the first European settlers.

The novel's hero is a young Noongar man named Bobby Wabalanginy. Clever, resourceful and eager to please, Bobby befriends the new arrivals, joining them hunting whales, tilling the land, exploring the hinterland and establishing the fledgling colony. He is even welcomed into a prosperous local white family where he falls for the daughter, Christine, a beautiful young woman who sees no harm in a liaison with a native. But slowly - by design and by accident - things begin to change.

Not everyone is happy with how the colony is developing. Stock mysteriously start to disappear; crops are destroyed; there are 'accidents' and injuries on both sides. As the Europeans impose ever stricter rules and regulations in order to keep the peace, Bobby's Elders decide they must respond in kind.

A friend to everyone, Bobby is forced to take sides: he must choose between the old world and the new, his ancestors and his new friends. Inexorably, he is drawn into a series of events that will forever change not just the colony but the future of Australia....

Critic Reviews:

Historien rundes af med afdkning af fortidens hemmeligheder p en mde, der havde vret en Ib Henrik Cavling vrdig blandet med lidt Wilbur Smith. Strukturen i fortllingen er upklageligt skruet sammen, og krydsklippene mellem 1962 og 2002 er lagt, s de filmiske effekter fungerer.

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 48 votes

Genres: Fiction, Literary

Publisher's Summary:

Best-selling author Gary Shteyngarts exquisite fiction is met with a level of critical acclaim reserved for the very best in the field. In this startlingly provocative work, Russian immigrant Vladimir Girshkin searches for love and self-identity while interacting with a quirky set of acquaintances.

Critic Reviews:

"Rowdy, ribald, funny...this superb debut [is] the real thing." (Esquire)

"As attuned to the exhilarating possibilities of the language as Martin Amis, as deadpan and funny as the young Evelyn Waugh." (Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times)

"In Vladimir Girshkin, the wisecracking, lovelorn, desperately self-reinventing protagonist, Shteyngart has given us a literary symbol for this new immigrant age, much as Saul Bellow or Henry Roth did in theirs..." (Chris Lehmann, The Washington Post)
