NOVEDADES

La señora Palfrey, que se acaba de quedar viuda, decide dejar su casa en el campo e instalarse en el Claremont, un sobrio y respetable hotel de Londres que tiene como huéspedes fijos a un variopinto grupo de jubilados. ¿Y a qué va a dedicarse Laura Palfrey ahora que dispone de tanto tiempo libre? Puede salir a pasear, ir a ver una exposición o esperar a que su nieto, que trabaja en el Museo Británico, vaya a visitarla. Cuando cree que en su vida ya no habrá mucho espacio para las sorpresas, conocerá a un joven escritor con el que trabará una improbable y especial amistad. Publicada originalmente en 1971, Prohibido morir aquí es seguramente la gran novela de Elizabeth Taylor, una de las más destacadas novelistas británicas del siglo xx. Esta encantadora historia sobre las excentricidades y sinsabores de la tercera edad es una inteligente indagación sobre la soledad y las posibilidades de la amistad. Sus divertidos personajes, la precisión de las observaciones sobre la vida cotidiana y un fino sentido de la ironía y de la compasión hacen de este libro una narración inolvidable.

Abigail Hunt’s Hollywood dreams could best be described as slow burn…but she’s about to graduate from TV sidekick to dramatic actor. When the esteemed director of her breakout role suggests a deep dive for her part by shadowing the head of a struggling pro soccer team, she jumps at the chance to prove she’s ready. Getting asked out by notorious grump and gorgeous star player Luke Wolfe wasn’t in the plan, but suddenly her research is getting a lot more…hands-on. Their relationship quickly sets social media on fire, and Luke seems determined to prove he’s more than his villainous reputation. But just when Abigail is happier than ever—her name in lights and her heart in good hands—the other cleat drops: Luke’s been coerced into faking their relationship to improve the team’s ticket sales. Furious, Abigail refuses to give Luke the satisfaction of dumping him—she decides to get even. Over-the-top dates, treating his games like fashion shows, and befriending the fan club he hates? Count her in. It’s only a matter of time until she pushes the right buttons. She just didn’t expect him to keep putting up with it—or to say I love you.
