Christmas Letters Katherine O'Connor (known as K.O.) adores her five--year--old twin nieces--and strongly objects to her sister Zelda's plans to dispense with Christmas. Zelda is following the theories of child psychologist Wynn Jeffries, author of The Free Child (and also K.O.'s neighbor on Blossom Street).

Too bad the guy's so darned attractive... Back on Blossom Street Susannah Nelson, owner of Susannah's Garden, has just hired an assistant named Colette Blake, a young widow who's obviously hiding a secret--or two!

They each begin a list of twenty wishes--including things they'd always wanted to do but never done. When she volunteers at a local school, an eight--year--old girl named Ellen enters her life. As Ellen helps Anne Marie complete her list, they both learn that wishes can come true...but not necessarily in the way you expect! The Twenty--First Wish Anne Marie and her adopted daughter, Ellen, have each written a list of twenty wishes--on which they included learning to knit. Like many of their wishes, it's come true and now they knit practically every day. But Ellen has quietly added a twenty--first wish: that her mom will fall in love with Ellen's birth father, Tim, who's recently entered their lives...

Debbie of the Green Gate
by Helen F. DaringerDebbie Endicott was only a child when her family left Scrooby, England, to seek a new home and religious freedom in Leyden, Holland. At times it was difficult for her to remember she was English, even though Father--for whom she now kept house--was a leader in the affairs of the English colony. Many of the English folk had begun to feel the time had come to move on to a new land, where their children could be brought up in a truly English fashion, and where they could establish their own government. Debbie's joy in skating on the frozen canals, her pleasure and excitement in making friends with Raquel Forteza, the daughter of a wealthy Spanish family, her triumph in outwitting the King's men who were searching for Master William Brewster were overshadowed by her knowledge that Father might want to set out for the new and distant land to which the Speedwell and the Mayflower were sailing. In the end, when Debbie must make her own decision about the journey, it was Raquel's wise old grandmother who helped her to make the choice. Miss Daringer, whose gift for recreating people and periods is well- known from her earlier books, Adopted Jane; Mary Montgomery, Rebel; and Pilgrim Kate, has made a fresh contribution to a fuller understanding of our American heritage.

Deberías haberte ido
by Daniel KehlmannDaniel Kehlmann, finalista del Premio Booker Internacional en 2020 con su novela Tyll, firma un inquietante thriller psicológico que narra el colapso de un escritor atrapado en un juego de espejos escalofriante. «Daniel Kehlmann hace que nuestra propia cabeza se convierta en una casa encantada y da un giro completo a la literatura de terror». Die Welt Un guionista en plena crisis creativa y conyugal acaba de llegar —acompañado de su mujer y de su hija— a una flamante casa de montaña. Es diciembre. El frío blancoazulado de los glaciares, los bosques ocultos por una espesa bruma, el fluir de un río y un profundo y silencioso valle prometen, al fin, un nuevo comienzo. Una nueva oportunidad para finalizar un guion que se le resiste y para intentar reconciliarse con su mujer. Sin embargo, algo pasa en la casa. Poco a poco los contornos de la realidad comienzan a difuminarse y lo que parecía una escapada idílica se convierte en una inquietante espiral de comportamientos disfuncionales. Deberías haberte ido es una lectura sobrecogedora. Un relato claustrofóbico donde la realidad se tiñe de surrealismo y el terror no se presenta con sobresaltos, sino como un siniestro sueño cuyas piezas no acaban de encajar. La crítica ha dicho:«Pocas veces Kehlmann ha diseñado un laberinto de realidad tan sofisticado, ha adentrado tanto al lector en la espesura de la duda. [...] Su audaz fantasía no solo se apoya en un lenguaje cristalino, tranquilo y nunca impostado, sino también en un profundo conocimiento de la naturaleza humana y de la sociedad actual.»Die Zeit«Esta alucinante novela sobre un escritor que pierde la cordura contiene imágenes alarmantes que permanecen en la retina. Kehlmann logra algunas florituras oscuramente cómicas, provocativas, potentes, agradablemente inquietantes».John Williams, The New York Times «Un ejercicio de terror construido de forma hermosa. Kehlmann crea una sensación de miedo existencial que trasciende a cualquier historia de fantasmas. Un libro que te mantiene despierto toda la noche».Kirkus Reviews «Una clase magistral de estilo sobrio, prosa meticulosamente atenta y agilidad imaginativa. Kehlmann crea complejidad narrativa con los trazos más hábiles».The Literary Review «Un libro que debería llevar una advertencia sanitaria: leer a solas bajo su propio riesgo».Monocle«Un experimento magistral sobre los límites del realismo literario».The Brooklyn Rail «Kehlmann usa con habilidad elementos básicos del terror y ofrece una mirada sobre la distinción entre el arte y la vida».Publishers Weekly«Mi novelista alemán favorito».Ian McEwan «Kehlmann es uno de los más brillantes escritores en activo».Jeffrey Eugenides
