Apalachee: A Novel
by Joyce Rockwood HudsonIn this &“deeply involving&” novel set in colonial Florida, a Native American woman is torn away from her husband and sold into slavery (Booklist). Spanish missionaries have settled in the Apalachee homeland on the Florida panhandle, introducing new diseases to the native population and attempting to convert them to Christianity. Despite these changes, the Apalachees maintain an uneasy coexistence with the friars. Everything changes when English soldiers and their Indian allies from the colony of Carolina invade Spanish Florida. After being driven from her Apalachee homeland by the English, Native American wise woman Hinachuba Lucia is captured by Creek Indians and sold into slavery in Carolina, where she becomes a house slave at Fairmeadow, a turpentine plantation near Charles Town. Her beloved husband, Carlos, is left behind—free but helpless to get Lucia back. Swept by inexorable currents, Lucia&’s fate is interwoven with those of Juan de Villalva, a Spanish mission priest, and Isaac Bull, an Englishman in search of fortune in the New World. As the three lives unfold, we are drawn into a complex world where cultures meet and often clash. With compelling drama and historical accuracy, Apalachee portrays the decimation of the Indian mission culture of Spanish Florida by English Carolina during Queen Anne&’s war at the beginning of the eighteenth century—and the little-known institution of Indian slavery in America. &“[A] sweeping novel of Native American life during the early colonial period.&”—Publishers Weekly &“This richly textured story follows the intertwined lives of Native American, Spanish, and British characters…Clearly a meticulous researcher, Hudson does the reader an additional service by providing notes at the end.&”—Historical Novel Society

Aparecidos, Los
by Óscar Godoy"La historia del hombre del río se quedó sin audiencia. Como la de esos otros seres terroríficos, los aparecidos, que poblaban las charlas familiares de antes de dormir". Cuando una joven desaparece en un pueblo sin dejar rastro, el inspector Daniel Valencia decide investigar el caso. Las primeras sospechas apuntan hacia los grupos armados que pululan en la región, pero las creencias locales sugieren algo más. Intrigado por los relatos transmitidos de generación en generación desde tiempos inmemoriales, el protagonista emprende una búsqueda por un mundo rural desconocido para él, en el que la violencia no da tregua y peligros inesperados acechan en cada etapa del camino. "En esta novela, leyenda y realidad se unen en un delicado tejido,narrado con fluidez y maestría". Alejandra Jaramillo Morales "Óscar es uno de esos escritores que saben que el oficio de la escritura está por encima del relato oficial y de la anécdota, es decir que entiende la literatura como un viaje al fondo de uno, nacida de un ejercicio de horadar y horadar capas de lo que somos hasta que nos duela". Daniel Ángel, El Espectador La crítica ha dicho: Sobre Te acuerdas del mar: "Un fresco amplio y minucioso, escrito con una prosa tersa y vibrante, sobre la realidad colombiana de hoy". Jorge Volpi "A través de distintas voces, de historias que se cruzan, de personajes tal vez irreconciliables pero fugazmente hermanados, el autor va urdiendo un alegato perturbador y luminoso". Liliana Heker "Una poderosa parábola sobre la violencia política y sobre una amistad impensada". Jorge Fernández Díaz
Aparición forzada
by Ernesto AlcocerSantiago tiene cincuenta y dos años y lleva veinticinco trabajando en la filial mexicana de una conocida compañía global. Ahora tiene un nuevo jefe: un sádico y retorcido cerdo que acabará con su carrera de tantos años. Pero las cosas no se quedarán así. En su desesperación por encontrar algo que le devuelva la vitalidad y la seguridad en sí mismo, Santiago, a quien le falta experiencia en la maldad y en la sangre fría, planea una venganza que no contempla derramar sangre de cerdo, sino darle el susto de su vida. Para eso cuenta con una máscara de luchador con los colores de la bandera de México que le robó a su hija Inés y con una pistola Beretta que antes de ser despedido le compró al corrupto teniente Luna, encargado de la seguridad de la compañía. Sin embargo a veces las cosas no salen como las planeamos... Inspirada en la experiencia del autor, quien trabajó veinticinco años en una famosa empresa trasnacional, esta novela originalísima, que mantiene atrapado al lector hasta la última página, es una feroz crítica al desquiciamiento al que ha llegado la sociedad capitalista, obsesionada por el individualismo y el poder. Pero es también una historia de amor, de solidaridad y de supervivencia.

Apart at the Seams: Cobbled Court Quilts (Cobbled Court Quilts #6)
by Marie BostwickA woman in a failing marriage discovers a new pattern for living in the quilting series from the New York Times bestselling author of Ties That Bind. Twice in her life, college counselor Gayla Oliver fell in love at first sight. The first time was with Brian—a lean, longhaired, British bass player. Marriage followed quickly, then twins, and gradually their bohemian lifestyle gave way to busy careers in New York. Gayla&’s second love affair is with New Bern, Connecticut. Like Brian, the laid-back town is charming without trying too hard. It&’s the ideal place to buy a second home and reignite the spark in their twenty-six-year marriage. Not that Gayla is worried. At least, not until she finds a discarded memo in which Brian admits to a past affair and suggests an amicable divorce. Devastated, Gayla flees to New Bern. Though Brian insists he&’s since recommitted to his family, Gayla&’s feelings of betrayal may go too deep for forgiveness. Besides, her solo sabbatical is a chance to explore the creative impulses she sidelined long ago—quilting, gardening, and striking up new friendships with the women of the Cobbled Court circle—particularly Ivy, a single mother confronting fresh starts and past hurts of her own. With all of their support, Gayla just might find the courage to look ahead, decide which fragments of her old life she wants to keep, which are beyond repair—and how to knot the fraying ends until a bold new design reveals itself . . . Praise for the Cobbled Court Quilts series &“Filled with wit and wisdom.&” —Susan Wiggs, New York Times bestselling author &“Warmly nourishing, emotionally compelling.&” —Chicago Tribune
Apart from the Crowd
by Anna McPartlinIn a little Irish town like Kenmare, there's no need to worry whether people will discover your secrets. They already have. For Mary, that means being remembered for her tragic losses, even if she'd rather get on with her life. For her cousin Ivan, as close as a brother, the gossip is all about how his wife took the kids and ran off with her new lover. For Mary's friend Penny, it's an old romance that didn't work out quite right, and a current affair with a bottle of vodka. Then Sam Sullivan rents the cottage next door to Mary, and within hours the whole town is talking about the film-star-handsome American. When Sam hurts his back while helping his new neighbor and spends the next week confined to a mattress on her floor, gossip runs rampant. But neither Kenmare nor Mary know about the secrets Sam is so successfully hiding.... For Mary's circle of friends, Sam's arrival marks more than one change. And Mary -- whose unlucky history has kept her apart from the crowd much of her life -- has finally found a man with whom she feels she might truly connect. But so long as both are captive to memories they dare not reveal, the past is a barrier that will keep them forever alone. In this powerful novel, Anna McPartlin perfectly captures the drama, the emotion, and the laughter of a small Irish community, for those who fit in -- and those who don't. Apart from the Crowd mixes wit and insight to create an engrossing tale that will keep you reading to the very last page.
