Nadie nos vio partir
by Tamara Trottner«Conmovedora y fascinante historia, escrita con elegancia y sabiduría. Tamara Trottner escribe su primer libro como quien lleva toda la vida escribiendo. Porque quien descubre y entiende el dolor y las dichas de otros, teje su destino con madurez y generosidad. Éste es un libro que emociona y fascina.» Ángeles Mastretta «La mesa es redonda. De caoba. Cabe apenas un teléfono gris de disco. Miro hacia arriba, a esta edad todo se mira hacia arriba. Mi hermano y yo escuchamos angustiados las palabras que nuestro padre dice al auricular. Yo paseo la mirada de uno al otro sin entender muy bien lo que sucede. Acabo de cumplir cinco años. Éste es el último día de mi infancia.» La pasión no se equivoca, pero a veces se extravía. Por venganza en contra de su esposa, un hombre secuestra a sus hijos y huye con ellos a distintos países. Comienza así una guerra entre dos poderosas familias que ejercen su autoridad y su riqueza hasta las últimas consecuencias. Para una niña de cinco años es difícil comprender que su vida se vea sacudida por una tolvanera de amores y odios, venganza y protección, verdades imperiosas y, sin embargo, opuestas: odiar a quien más ama, confiar en quien le ha mentido. En esta nueva existencia, ella tratará de entender que hay amores que no tienen remedio, que hay vidas que no son normales, que hay odios que no tienen válvula de escape, y que la única verdad absoluta es que el amor incondicional está lleno de condiciones. «Siempre me pregunté qué contaría la historia de Ana Karenina de haber sido escrita por una mujer. Nadie nos vio partir es narrada por Tamara Trottner de tal manera que ofrece una posible respuesta. Una profunda novela familiar, mexicana y universal al mismo tiempo. Espléndida.» Alma Delia Murillo

The Nakano Thrift Shop: A Novel
by Hiromi Kawakami Allison Markin PowellFrom the author of Strange Weather in Tokyo comes this funny, heartwarming story about love, life, and human relationships that features a delightfully offbeat cast of characters.Objects for sale at the Nakano Thrift Shop appear as commonplace as the staff and customers that handle them. But like those same customers and staff, they hold many secrets. If examined carefully, they show the signs of innumerable extravagancies, of immeasurable pleasure and pain, and of the deep mysteries of the human heart.Hitomi, the inexperienced young woman who works the register at Mr. Nakano's thrift shop, has fallen for her coworker, the oddly reserved Takeo. Unsure of how to attract his attention, she seeks advice from her employer's sister, Masayo, whose sentimental entanglements make her a somewhat unconventional guide. But thanks in part to Masayo, Hitomi will come to realize that love, desire, and intimacy require acceptance not only of idiosyncrasies but also of the delicate waltz between open and hidden secrets. Animating each delicately rendered chapter in Kawakami's playful novel is Mr. Nakano himself, an original, entertaining, and enigmatic creation whose compulsive mannerisms, secretive love life, and impulsive behavior defy all expectations.

It's all about hearing the music, finding your footing, and moving gracefully. From tips about caring for your body, to her own stories about the missteps she's made as a mother, to advice about how to handle the tough emotional challenges moms face, Brooke paints an honest picture of motherhood that all women can relate to, insisting that it's not about being right or wrong, it's about being your authentic, naked self. .

Nina's next husband introduces her to nudism and soon suggests they plunge further into the sexual revolution of the 1970s. Meanwhile, the remorseful driver, Martin, tries to bury his dark secret under the flashing lights and ringing bells of Las Vegas. The Nakeds is an absorbing, darkly comical story of love and desire, of forgiveness and the unforgivable, and the truths we sometimes hide underneath our very own skin.and complicated human truths. Her characters are so perceptively drawn I felt as if they were people I knew. Her portrait of southern California in the 1970s is so vivid I could practically feel that particular sun on my face. Her insights into how we love and forgive and deny and accept are so profound I felt changed by the time I read the final sentence. This is an unforgettable and spellbinding book by a writer of rare radiance." --Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild "Lisa Glatt writes with incandescent ink: her novel emanates light. There is damage and heartache to be found in The Nakeds, yet every page is radiant with redemption, and every gorgeously human character embodies hope. This book will keep you up late at night, turning page after page, laughing aloud, palms sweating, heart in your mouth." --Dylan Landis, author of Rainey Royal and Normal People Don't Live Like This "The characters so finely etched and flawed and real, the scenes indelible as if burned into wood--this portrait of people trying to make it in southern California is one of the finest you'll see." --Susan Straight, National Book Award finalist, author of Highwire Moon "The Nakeds is a work of simple and lucid brilliance, and Lisa Glatt is a stunningly gifted writer. The world needs to know her. I think it soon will." --Meghan Daum, author of The Unspeakable: And Other Subjects of Discussion Praise for the national bestseller A Girl Becomes a Comma Like That "An appealingly dark first novel . . . authentic, substantial and engaging." --New York Times Book Review "Smart and stylish . . . Lyrical and sophisticated." --San Francisco Chronicle "Weirdly romantic. Ferociously intelligent. Ridiculously well written and compulsively readable." --Daily Candy "This novel may be a scream of pure pain, but its wisdom and touching examination of grace and instability under pressure are unforgettable." --The Miami Herald "A Girl Becomes A Comma Like That is an accomplished, elegant, inky-black tragicomedy that raises gallows humor to a heartrending art form . . . . [T]his is a rare, bright, glass-cuttingly-sharp jewel of a book." --The Journal News "Glatt fills her pages with women who are so complex and truthfully portrayed, you'll swear you know at least one of them. The end result is a haunting, unforgettable book that admirably manages to be both touching and shocking." --BUST "Sad, yes, but also comic." --The Washington Post "Heartbreaking and hilarious." --Press-Telegram "A less honest writer could mine only melodrama from the lives of these seemingly self-defeated women, but Glatt plays out the ordinary details of their lives with such unadorned authenticity that you can't help but either find yourself in them or admire them." --LA Weekly "A laugh out loud tearjerker." --Elle "Fearless and deeply felt." --Rain Taxi
