Title: Hunger: A Novella and Stories Author: Lan Samantha Chang Narrator: Eunice Wong Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 24 minutes Release date: January 18, 2022 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: Not since Maxine Hong Kingston and Amy Tan has a fiction writer explored with such powerful intensity the experience of being Asian American. The characters who inhabit this extraordinary fictional debut are caught between the burden of their past history and the fragility of their unchartered future. Hunger illuminates how first-generation immigrants from China, culturally and emotionally uprooted from their homeland, mistrust connection even as they hunger for attachment—and how the past affects and shapes their children. In luminous prose, these stories of love and loss explore the profound and painful ties between husband and wife, parent and child, sister and sister. The stunning title novella is told by a woman whose love for an exiled musician compels her into a tragic marriage in which her husband's unfulfilled desires nearly destroy their children. In other stories, a ghost seduces a young girl into a flooded river; a mother commands a daughter to avenge her father's death. Lan Samantha Chang weaves the forces of war and magic, food and desire, ghosts and family, into haunting tales. Again and again, Chang asks the question: is love not a kind of burden, stifling and terrifying in the choices and responsibilities it forces on us? And yet we yearn for it, define ourselves by our experience of it, cannot live without it.

Title: [Spanish] - Boulder Author: Eva Baltasar Narrator: Marta Moreno Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 3 minutes Release date: December 16, 2021 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: FINALISTA AL PREMIO BOOKER INTERNACIONAL 2023 Después de la exitosa Permafrost, Boulder es la continuación del tríptico donde Eva Baltasar explora la voz, la vida y el cuerpo de tres mujeres. La esperada segunda novela de la escritora y poeta Eva Baltasar llega en traducción de Nicole d'Amonville para los lectores en lengua española. Dos años después de su exitoso debut en catalán con Permagel (Club Editor, 2018), la autora firma una historia tan poética y vibrante como la que la dio a conocer. La protagonista de Boulder se gana la vida como cocinera en un viejo barco mercante. Es la situación perfecta: soledad, una cabina, el océano, algún puerto en el que conocer mujeres y horas para encarar el vacío, para sentir la fuerza de la provisionalidad. Hasta que un día una de ellas consigue que abandone el mar, acceda a vivir entre cuatro paredes y se implique en la gestación asistida y en la educación de un hijo. ¿Qué ha hecho la maternidad con la mujer que en su día conoció en un bar de la Patagonia? ¿Qué hará ella, animal enjaulado en una casa unifamiliar de Reikiavik? Todo ha cambiado excepto su apodo, Boulder: esas enormes piedras aisladas en medio del paisaje, expuestas a todo sin que nadie sepa de dónde vienen ni porque están ahí. La crítica ha dicho... «Boulder es un libro sensual, sexy e intenso. Eva Baltasar condensa las sensaciones y experiencias de una docena de novelas en poco más de cien páginas de vibrante prosa. Una incisiva historia de amor y maternidad queer que disecciona los dilemas de intercambiar independencia por intimidad.» Leïla Slimani, miembro y portavoz del jurado del Premio Booker Internacional 2023 «El estilo de Baltasar es impecable.» Carlos Zanón, El País «Sobrecogedora, intensa, poética.» Laura Ferrero, ABC «Una lucidez fría pero candente, admirable, en su aproximación al detalle.» Nadal Suau, El Cultural «Maneja los sentimientos como material radioactivo, es decir, como algo que nos mata y nos ilumina.» Javier Rodríguez Marcos, Babelia «La suya es una subjetividad poética que mira el mundo y descubre que todo eso que nos contiene puede mirarse por primera vez.» Gabriela Wiener «Describe como no pensabas que pudiera hacerse. Lo supera todo.» Julià Guillamon, La Vanguardia «Baltasar es habilísima. Una Dorothy Parker catalana. Irónica, implacable.» La Repubblica «Baltasar arranca con fuerza.» Clarín

Title: [Spanish] - Las vencedoras Author: Laetitia Colombani Narrator: Lola Sans Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 50 minutes Release date: December 16, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: Un himno a la solidaridad y a la esperanza donde Colombani da voz a las vencedoras anónimas de la historia. A los cuarenta años, Solène lo ha sacrificado todo por su carrera como abogada: sus sueños, sus amigos y sus amores, hasta que un día se derrumba y se sume en una profunda depresión. Para ayudarla a recuperarse, su médico le aconseja que haga tareas de voluntariado. Poco convencida, Solène encuentra por internet un anuncio que despierta su curiosidad y decide interesarse por él. Enviada a un hogar para mujeres con grave riesgo de exclusión social, tiene problemas para relacionarse con las residentes, que se muestran distantes y esquivas; pero poco a poco irá ganando su confianza y descubrirá hasta qué punto desea estar tan viva como ellas. Un siglo antes, Blanche Peyron libra un combate. Comandante del Ejército de Salvación en Francia, abriga el sueño de ofrecer un techo a todas las excluidas de la sociedad. Con ese fin, en 1925 comienza a recaudar los fondos necesarios para comprar un hotel monumental, y un año después el Palacio de la Mujer abre sus puertas. El Palacio de la Mujer existe y Las vencedoras nos invita a entrar en él para descubrir la dura realidad de sus habitantes. Con el mismo estilo de La trenza, Laetitia Colombani borda un emotivo canto a la fuerza de las mujeres que nos habla de pérdidas y sufrimientos, de bondad y fraternidad, que nos seduce por su empatía y nos acerca vívidamente a la trágica existencia de esas personas invisibles para la sociedad. La crítica ha dicho... «'Una mujer sin hogar es una presa; mientras los hombres se reagrupan, las mujeres prefieren quedarse solas y esconderse, principalmente porque tienen miedo'. De ahí la importancia de un lugar como el descrito en la novela [el Palacio de la Mujer], donde se muestran las interacciones entre las internas que allí viven, para las que la hermandad y la solidaridad son valores fundamentales. Un retrato que Colombani pinta con exquisitez, pero sin caer en la sensiblería ni en escabrosidad alguna. Una auténtica delicia para los sentidos.» Ángeles López, La Razón «Las vencedoras es un relato que nos recuerda que existen los pobres. Y de todos ellos, existen los que son los más marginados y desprotegidos, las mujeres. No era sencillo escribir algo así sin caer en la sensiblería. Colombani hace de su novela la única luz posible al final del túnel.» J. Ernesto Ayala-Dip, El Correo «Con un método parecido al de La trenza, Laetitia Colombani entrelaza dos narraciones que confluyen en una historia común: la de dos figuras excepcionales que provocan admiración entre las mujeres corrientes que necesitan identificarse con ellas.» Paris Match «Laetitia Colombani posee la elegancia que confiere la humildad. A pesar del éxito de La trenza, aborda con serenidad la publicación de su segunda novela, en la que el feminismo está en el centro mismo de la narración. [...] Una oda a la fraternidad de las mujeres.» Le Parisien

Title: [Spanish] - El abanico de seda Author: Lisa See Narrator: Irene Montalà Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 17 minutes Release date: December 16, 2021 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: Esta novela es una ventana a un mundo asombroso, lejano y desconocido, un retrato vivo de la vida de unas mujeres extraordinarias que dejará en el lector una impresión difícil de olvidar. En una remota provincia de China, las mujeres crearon hace siglos un lenguaje secreto para comunicarse libremente entre sí: el nu shu. Aisladas en sus casas y sometidas a la férrea autoridad masculina, el nu shu era su única vía de escape. Mediante sus mensajes, escritos o bordados en telas, abanicos y otros objetos, daban testimonio de un mundo tan sofisticado como implacable. El año 2002, la autora de esta novela viajó a la provincia de Huan, cuna de esta milenaria escritura fonética, para estudiarla en profundidad. Su prolongada estancia le permitió recoger testimonios de mujeres que la conocían, así como de la última hablante de nu shu, la nonagenaria Yang Huanyi. A partir de aquellas investigaciones, Lisa See concibió esta conmovedora historia sobre la amistad entre dos mujeres, Lirio Blanco y Flor de Nieve. Como prueba de su buena estrella, la pequeña Lirio Blanco, hija de una humilde familia de campesinos, será hermanada con Flor de Nieve, de muy diferente ascendencia social. En una ceremonia ancestral, ambas se convierten en laotong -«mi otro yo» o «alma gemela»-, un vínculo que perdurará toda la vida. Así pues, a lo largo de los años, Lirio Blanco y Flor de Nieve se comunicarán gracias a ese lenguaje secreto, compartiendo sus más íntimos pensamientos y emociones, y consolándose de las penalidades del matrimonio y la maternidad. El nu shu las mantendrá unidas, hasta que un error de interpretación amenazará con truncar su profunda amistad.
