NOVEDADES

Emily Chen-Sanchez can’t do anything right. She’s been grounded for a bad grade; she can’t stop fighting with her perfect older sister; everyone’s tense because her mother’s just been diagnosed with thyroid cancer; and she hasn’t spoken to her best friend Matt in two weeks, four days, and about seven hours (not that she’s counting). Her new summer job is the perfect escape: as companion to an eclectic, lively, Super Southern elderly lady, Mrs. Granucci. All Emily has to do is help Mrs. G ‘remember” her likes, dislikes, anything Mrs. G has a habit of forgetting, even Emily’s name. Emily feels closer to Mrs. G than everyone else until Mrs. G falsely accuses Emily. The betrayal will have ramifications for them both, and Emily must make a decision that will change their lives forever. The Summer I Remembered Everything is a story of longing for an escape, finding yourself, caring for someone with an illness, and learning that sometimes the right decision is always the hardest.

Sanar no es un evento aislado. Es un proceso que suele surgir tras un acontecimiento doloroso que sacude nuestra visión del futuro, como la pérdida de un ser querido. Sin embargo, el verdadero desafío consiste en transformar ese impacto en un despertar que nos saque de la inconsciencia, obligándonos a dejar caer nuestras máscaras y a redescubrir nuestro ser más auténtico y sincero. En este nuevo libro, Brianna Wiest comparte más de 45 textos que nos muestran el camino hacia nuestro refugio interior, ayudándonos a experimentar una transformación verdadera. Esto implica aceptar el dolor y abrazar nuestra vulnerabilidad, ya que la auténtica sanación solo ocurre cuando somos capaces de soltar y abrirnos a una vida llena de esperanza y posibilidades. Las palabras de Brianna son un bálsamo para todas las almas en búsqueda de su propia realización.

El joven filólogo Diego Marín viaja a Valparaíso para resolver su incierto porvenir académico cuando un encuentro fortuito le proporciona inspiración para escribir su primera novela. El éxito inesperado de su publicación le permite instalarse en Nueva York, donde la vida y el amor se interponen en la escritura de su segundo libro, y su nombre acaba cayendo en el olvido. Cuando una llamada de su antiguo editor le pone sobre la pista de un accidente extraordinario que reproduce fielmente el final de su famosa novela, Marín viaja sin dudarlo a la selva de Colombia. Pero el destino se cruza de nuevo en su camino y mientras investiga comprenderá que algunas historias merecen ser contadas a cualquier precio, mientras que otras imponen su silencio para salvar una vida. Benjamín G. Rosado debuta como un escritor valiente con una voz torrencial que se mueve entre la picaresca y la erudición. El vuelo del hombre ha obtenido el respaldo unánime del jurado del Premio Biblioteca Breve, que reconoce el talento de «un gran fabulador en la mejor tradición de narradores como Auster o Bolaño».

Before Arin, Genevieve Yang was an only child. Living with her parents and grandmother in a single-room flat in working-class Bedok, Genevieve is saddled with an unexpected sibling when Arin appears, the shameful legacy of a grandfather long believed to be dead. As the two girls grow closer, they must navigate the intensity of life in a place where the urgent insistence on achievement demands constant sacrifice. Knowing that failure is not an option, the sisters learn to depend entirely on one another as they spurn outside friendships, leisure, and any semblance of a social life in pursuit of academic perfection and passage to a better future. When a stinging betrayal violently estranges Genevieve and Arin, Genevieve must weigh the value of ambition versus familial love, home versus the outside world, and allegiance to herself versus allegiance to the people who made her who she is.

What do a barracks for British troops in the Falklands War, a floating jail off the Bronx, and temporary housing for VW factory workers in Germany have in common? The Balder Scapa: a single barge that served all three roles. Though the name would eventually change to Finnboda 12. And then to Safe Esperia. And later on, to the Bibby Resolution. And after that . . . in short, a vessel with so many names, and so many fates, that to keep it in our sights—as the protagonist of this fascinating economic parable—Ian Kumekawa has no choice but to call it, simply, the Vessel. Despite its sturdy steel structure, weighing 9,500 deadweight tons, the Vessel is a figure as elusive and abstract as the offshore market it comes to embody: a world of island tax havens, exploited labor forces, free banking zones, Thatcherism, Reaganomics, and mass incarceration, where even the prisoners are held offshore. Fitted with modular shipping containers, themselves the product of standardized global trade, the ship could become whatever the market demanded. Whether caught in an international dispute involving Hong Kong, Nigeria, Indonesia, and the Virgin Islands—to be settled in an English court of law—or flying yet another foreign “flag of convenience” to mask its ownership—the barge is ever a container for forces much larger than even its hulking self. Empty Vessel is a jaw-dropping microhistory that speaks volumes about the global economy as a whole. In following the Vessel—and its Sister Vessel, built alongside it in Stockholm—from one thankless task to the next, Kumekawa connects the dots of a neoliberal world order in the making, where regulation is for suckers and “Made in USA” feels almost quaint.

The "magic" skincare products, healing sound baths, and extravagant parties of Deena’s company DEEP never really interested Frances before, who wears the badge of goth outcast and bookworm proudly. But face time with the girl she has been crushing on for years is starting to give her a new outlook.

ALICE SCOTT is an eternal optimist still dreaming of her big writing break. Hayden Anderson is a Pulitzer Prize-winning human thundercloud. And they're both on balmy Little Crescent Island for the same reason: to write the biography of a woman no one has seen in years or at least to meet with the octogenarian who claims to be the Margaret Ives. Tragic heiress, former tabloid princess, and daughter of one of the most storied (and scandalous) families of the twentieth century. When Margaret invites them both for a one-month trial period, after which she'll choose the person.who'll tell her story, there are three things keeping Alice's head in the game. One: Alice genuinely likes people, which means people usually like Alice—and she has a whole month to win the legendary woman over. Two: she's ready for this job and the chance to impress her perennially unimpressed family with a Serious Publication. | Three: Hayden Anderson, who should have no reason to be concerned about losing this book, is glowering at her in a shaken-to-the core way that suggests he sees her as competition.
