The Quickening: A Novel
by Michelle HooverEnidina Current and Mary Morrow live on neighboring farms in the flat, hard country of the upper Midwest during the early 1900s. This hardscrabble life comes easily to some, like Eddie, who has never wanted more than the land she works and the animals she raises on it with her husband, Frank. But for the deeply religious Mary, farming is an awkward living and at odds with her more cosmopolitan inclinations. Still, Mary creates a clean and orderly home life for her stormy husband, Jack, and her sons, while she adapts to the isolation of a rural town through the inspiration of a local preacher. She is the first to befriend Eddie in a relationship that will prove as rugged as the ground they walk on. Despite having little in common, Eddie and Mary need one another for survival and companionship. But as the Great Depression threatens, the delicate balance of their reliance on one another tips, pitting neighbor against neighbor, exposing the dark secrets they hide from one another, and triggering a series of disquieting events that threaten to unravel not only their friendship but their families as well.In this luminous and unforgettable debut, Michelle Hoover explores the polarization of the human soul in times of hardship and the instinctual drive for self-preservation by whatever means necessary. The Quickening stands as a novel of lyrical precision and historical consequence, reflecting the resilience and sacrifices required even now in our modern troubled times.

QUIEN PAGA? (EBOOK)
by Leni GonzalezHasta hace algunos años, muy pocos se atrevían a cuestionar un modelo que parecía funcionar perfecto: el hombre proveía el dinero al hogar y la mujer se ocupaba de la casa y los hijos. En cambio, en la realidad que nos toca vivir, aquel esquema resulta obsoleto. El tema del dinero en la pareja es sin dudas uno de los dilemas de nuestro tiempo. Las nuevas familias #no es noticia que hay menos casamientos, los hijos vienen recién después de los treinta, muchas mujeres ganan más que sus parejas, cada vez hay más hombres desempleados crónicos, etcétera# están en crisis permanente o, por lo menos, atravesando una etapa de transición que todavía no sabemos adónde nos llevará. Así estamos, acomodándonos al nuevo sistema, que vamos inventando y conociendo día a día, y luchando contra el viejo modelo, que de vez en cuando reaparece con cierta nostalgia. Los hombres se ven obligados a ocupar espacios que hasta hace poco eran femeninos, y viceversa. Ellas se levantan para ir a trabajar y ellos llevan a los chicos al colegio. Qué pasa con el dinero cuando el proyecto sentimental fracasa? Quién se queda con la casa, el auto, los ahorros, los muebles? Cómo mantener la pasión con los #señores mamás# y con las #mamás jefas de hogar#? Cómo se regulan las relaciones económicas en la pareja del siglo XXI? Quién paga? funciona como testimonio urgente de nuestra época, y también como tranquilizador al ver que todas las parejas atraviesan un momento similar. Hombres y mujeres que buscan su nueva identidad e intentan encontrar el equilibro justo entre su parte femenina y masculina.

Elena siente que sus amigos de la prepa se quedaron a años luz, su hermano parece un burócrata cuarentón y su mamá se porta como si tuviera dieciséis. A veces cree que está sola en sus ansias por cambiar al mundo, y sólo parece entenderla un profesorque le mueve el tapete. Eso no sería tan grave si no tuviera un novio que la adora, pero que empieza a dar señales de querer volar alto... y lejos. A ratos Elena se siente más confundida que cuando tenía trece años y descubrió que el mundo no era tan rosa como se lo habían pintado. Con las agallas y sentido del humor que la caracterizan, Elena se lanza otra vez a una trepidante aventura. Ahora más que nunca, está dispuesta a demostrarse que está hecha de lo que se necesita para ser una gran mujer. Una que sabe querer bien.
