Title: [Spanish] - El verano que volvimos a Alegranza Author: María Fernández-Miranda Narrator: Laura Piñero Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 36 minutes Release date: July 14, 2022 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: Atravesada por la memoria olfativa y bañada por la luz de Asturias, El verano que volvimos a Alegranza es una novela evocadora que nos recuerda que las buenas historias, igual que los buenos perfumes, siempre son necesarias. Leandra es editora en una revista de moda con sede en Madrid. A sus treinta y cinco años se ha alejado de su marido, ha perdido la ilusión por su trabajo y ha presenciado la muerte de su tía Valentina en circunstancias dramáticas. En busca de respuestas a la crisis existencial en la que se halla inmersa, decide pasar un verano en Alegranza -la casa de indianos que construyó su abuelo Tomás en el pueblo asturiano de Colunga- y aceptar el reto de Jean-Luc Peltier, un prestigioso perfumista al que ha entrevistado: elaborar un perfume que la ayude a definirse a sí misma. Mientras bucea en sus recuerdos de infancia, impregnados de rosa silvestre, hortensia o madreselva, Leandra irá desvelando las distintas capas de secretos que, como los ingredientes de una fragancia, componen la historia de su familia. «Después de la última curva, esa que tantas veces había surfeado de pequeña a lomos de mi bicicleta BH con el cesto de mimbre sujeto entre los manillares, apareció ante mí la silueta de Alegranza, la casa familiar que no pisaba desde hacía por lo menos diez años. Aunque había algunas grietas en el muro y el jardín se había vuelto indómito, con la maleza avanzando a su antojo por la escalera de piedra de la entrada, por lo demás se mantenía más o menos como yo la recordaba, imponente y señorial. La misma fachada soberbia, con los balcones en las tres ventanas principales desde los cuales podía verse el mar en los días despejados, y la misma palmera enorme a la derecha, un poco inclinada, en permanente amenaza de precipitarse sobre el tejado. Detrás de la casa se avistaba la sierra del Sueve, en cuyos picos de tonalidades ocres se quedaban prendidas las nubes. No dejaba de ser una ironía que el abuelo Tomás hubiera bautizado esa casona insertada en un paisaje tan asturiano con el nombre de un islote canario. Según me contó una vez tía Valentina, su padre había viajado en cierta ocasión a Lanzarote y, al contemplar desde lo lejos aquel trozo de apenas diez kilómetros cuadrados de tierra salvaje rodeada de mar, comentó que así se había sentido él al poner rumbo a América: solo y con todo por hacer. Alegranza era su isla conquistada». Reseñas: «María Fernández Miranda se estrena con esta delicia de novela que solo tiene un defecto... la lees en dos días, cuando lo que quisieras es no salir de ese universo único.» Maribel Verdú «Uno de los imprescindibles del verano, que te acompañará de la playa a casa.» ¡Hola! «Mezcla lujo, amor, perfumes, historias familiares y una crítica a los caminos establecidos, a lo que se supone que hay que hacer.» Elle «Un bonito relato con pasajes propios del realismo mágico, ideal para lectura estival.» El Mundo «Con su libro apetece viajar, tener tías y una casa de indianos.» La Nueva España «Un libro que te engancha desde la primera página y con el que podrás 'viajar' a una decadente casa de indianos en Asturias, a los campos de flores de Grasse, a los cafés más sibaritas de París, a playas perdidas en Filipinas… Una novela perfecta para devorar este verano.» Cosmopolitan «La novela que propone el viaje olfativo que te enganchará.» Harpers Bazaar

Title: The Poet's House Author: Jean Thompson Narrator: Jesse Vilinsky Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 9 minutes Release date: July 12, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: In this warm and witty story, a young woman gets swept up in the rivalries and love affairs of a dramatic group of writers.​ Carla is stuck. In her twenties and working for a landscaper, she’s been told she’s on the wrong path by everyone—from her mom, who wants her to work at the hospital, to her boyfriend, who is dropping not-so-subtle hints that she should be doing something that matters. ­Then she is hired for a job at the home of Viridian, a lauded and lovely aging poet who introduces Carla to an eccentric circle of writers. At first she is perplexed by their predilection for reciting lines in conversation, the stories of their many liaisons, their endless wine-soaked nights. Soon, though, she becomes enamored with this entire world: with Viridian, whose reputation has been defined by her infamous affair with a male poet, Mathias; with Viridian’s circle; and especially with the power of words, the “ache and hunger that can both be awakened and soothed by a poem,” a hunger that Carla feels sharply. When a fight emerges over a vital cache of poems that Mathias wrote about Viridian, Carla gets drawn in. But how much will she sacrifice for a group that may or may not see her as one of their own? A delightfully funny look at the art world—sometimes petty, sometimes transactional, sometimes transformative— ­The Poet’s House is also a refreshingly candid story of finding one’s way, with words as our lantern in the dark.
