His Right Hand (The Linda Wallheim Mysteries #2)
by Mette Ivie HarrisonAuthor of The Bishop&’s Wife: A Utah housewife looks into the murder of a prominent Mormon—with a surprising secret—in this &“fast-moving&” novel (Anne Perry). In Draper, Utah, a tight-knit Latter-day Saints community is thrown into upheaval when their ward&’s second counselor—one of the bishop&’s right-hand men—is found dead in an elaborately staged murder on church property. Carl Ashby was known as a devout Mormon, a pillar of the community, and a loving husband and father. Who would want him dead? Linda Wallheim, the wife of the bishop, can&’t rest as long as the ward is suffering. She is particularly worried about Carl&’s grieving family. But the entire case is turned upside down by the autopsy report—which reveals that Carl was biologically female. In the Mormon church, where gender is considered part of a person&’s soul, some people regard transgenderism as one of the worst possible sins. Church officials seem to be more upset by Carl&’s gender than his murder, and more concerned with hushing up the story than solving the crime. Linda realizes that if the police are to catch the killer, they&’re going to need an ally on the inside. Carl was living a life of secrecy for twenty years. What else was he hiding—and can Linda ferret out the key to his death before the rumors tear her community apart? From the author of The Bishop&’s Wife, this is both a compelling crime novel and &“a heartfelt story that opens outsiders to a fascinating world&” (The Boston Globe).

Starting with something as simple as a boy who wants a dog, His Whole Life takes us into a richly intimate world where everything that matters to him is at risk: family, nature, home.At the outset ten-year-old Jim and his Canadian mother and American father are on a journey from New York City to a lake in eastern Ontario during the last hot days of August. What unfolds is a completely enveloping story that spans a few pivotal years of his youth. Moving from city to country, summer to winter, wellbeing to illness, the novel charts the deepening bond between mother and son even as the family comes apart.Set in the mid-1990s, when Quebec is on the verge of leaving Canada, this captivating novel is an unconventional coming of age story as only Elizabeth Hay could tell it. It draws readers in with its warmth, wisdom, its vivid sense of place, its searching honesty, and nuanced portrait of the lives of one family and those closest to it. Hay explores the mystery of how members of a family can hurt each other so deeply, and remember those hurts in such detail, yet find openings that shock them with love and forgiveness. This is vintage Elizabeth Hay at the height of her powers.

Historia de una trenza (Palabra En El Tiempo Ser.)
by Anne TylerLA NUEVA NOVELA DE ANNE TYLER Uno de los libros más esperados del año según The Times, Daily Mail, Financial Times, Irish Times, entre otros En la lista de más vendidos de The New York Times «Si Anne Tyler no es la mejor escritora del mundo, ¿quién lo es?».BBC En 2010, Serena y James regresan a Baltimore desde Filadelfia, donde ella ha conocido a los padres de él y ha podido hacerse una idea del concepto tan distinto que ambos tienen de la familia. Durante el viaje, Serena revisa el pasado de la suya. Contada en varios tiempos, la historia de los Garrett comienza en 1959, cuando su abuelo Robin hace algo insólito: dejar el negocio en manos de su ayudante y disfrutar de unos días con los suyos en una cabaña del lago Deep Creek. Son las primeras vacaciones familiares, pero para entonces están ya muy alejados los unos de los otros: su mujer, Mercy, se debate entre su pasión por la pintura y hacerse cargo del cuidado del hogar, como dicta la sociedad; sus hijas adolescentes, Alice y Lily, no pueden ser más opuestas, y en cuanto al benjamín, David, anhela escapar de la órbita familiar, aunque nadie entiende por qué. Con el paso de los años, todos irán descubriendo la imposibilidad de liberarnos de quienes nos aman, y lo cercana y a la vez desconocida que resulta cada familia para sí misma. Con su calidez y humor característicos, Anne Tyler ilumina las bondades y maldades de nuestra vida cotidiana, y la inefable naturaleza de los lazos familiares. La crítica ha dicho:«Muchos autores intentan emular hoy la técnica de Tyler, pero ninguno se acerca a la ligereza de su tacto, la precisión de su oído o la profundidad de su visión. [...] Quizá en el futuro sus libros se vean como un vasto retrato panorámico de la vida en un lugar y un momento particulares, tan preciso y resonante como los que hicieron Balzac o Trollope».Daily Mail «Una novela discreta y subversiva que hace tambalear suposiciones sobre la feminidad, la maternidad y el envejecimiento femenino».Jennifer Haigh, The New York Times Book Review «Brillante y cautivadora. [...] Su exquisita musicalidad reconforta como una vieja melodía conocida».Ron Charles, The Washington Post «Encantadora. [...] Una novela que brilla».Time «Cada libro de Tyler es un regalo».The Observer «Sutil y poderosa. [...] Una obra magistral».Times Literary Supplement «Una autora que ha alcanzado la excelencia».Xesús Fraga, La Voz de Galicia «Una observadora nata de la ternura infinita».Anna Carreras, Ara «Uno de los verdaderos tesoros de la literatura actual».Francisco Millet Alcoba, La Opinión de Málaga «Una Jane Austen contemporánea en Baltimore. [...] Hay autores que nunca fallan. Volver a ellos es como volver a casa o reencontrarse con un viejo amigo. Anne Tyler es una de ellas».Público
