Hope: La historia de una niña que no podía escuchar las palabras
by Wendy DaviesWendy Davies regresa al panorama de la literatura inspiracional con una novela que narra la historia de una niña diferente, un trasunto de Momo, una Matilda adolescente que tiene como cómplices a una marioneta, al dueño de un pequeño teatro y a sus palabras como escudos frente a una pérdida irreparable, pero también como peldaños de una escalera de esperanza hacia el futuro. Imagina un caserón de piedra parda en una calle cualquiera de una ciudad sin nombre. Acércate más. ¿Ves el nombre tallado en piedra? El teatro Serendipity te da la bienvenida. Si has llegado tan lejos imaginando, no te costará entrar. Nada más hacerlo verás a Joseph tras el mostrador. Fíjate en la vieja estantería que hay justo detrás de él. Hay algo que llama tu atención. Entre una corona envejecida que ya ha perdido todo su brillo y una figura horripilante de una bailarina, me ves a mí. Y, justo en este momento, Hope, una niña incapaz de escuchar las palabras, acaba de entrar. Puedes seguir imaginando o dejar que te cuente qué ocurrió.

Hopelessly Devoted
by Margaret BlakeA novel of suspense, romance, and family secrets set in New Zealand. Bronwen has fallen in love with New Zealand ever since she and her husband, Jack, emigrated from England. But Jack seems far less happy. He stays in an apartment in Auckland during the week for work, and when he’s home he drinks frequently and is increasingly short-tempered with her. Then Bronwen has a surprise guest: her cousin, Marged. The two have never been very close, and Marged, who’d lived under her mother’s thumb, is still somewhat distant and enigmatic. She also has shocking news to report—her mother has been murdered back in England, and she’s here to escape the recent trauma, hoping to travel around and see this lush, exotic country so far from home. But before long, things spiral out of control. Jack begins acting even more strangely, and Bronwen makes some shocking discoveries—including a sudden and drastic decrease in her bank account. Now she must untangle a web of secrets—and decide whether she is hopelessly devoted to a hopeless cause . . .

She gets a tattoo and tries singing through the hurt with her Janis Joplin-style voice. But when her long-time crush Danny comes out and is subsequently kicked out of his house, Hope can&’t stand by and let history repeat itself.

Hopscotch: A Memoir
by Hilary Fannin‘Quite brilliant; beautifully, cleverly observed; funny, heart-breaking.’ – Roddy DoyleHilary is four, not yet five, and she has a mother and a father and an older brother and sisters. She even has a name at home – Billy – that is different from her written-down name. But now that she is in Low Babies in the local convent school, it seems Hilary has something else called responsibilities. The world is a changing place. Hilary’s parents, themselves products of a country bathed in sanctifying grace, and presided over by leather-strapped Christian Brothers, wimpled nuns, and a strictly ingrained moral code, start to question their own life choices. As she begins to mature, Hilary’s perspective shifts from a confusing mosaic of half-understood conversations, bizarre rules and surreal religious symbolism, to a growing awareness of the eccentricities of the adult world around her, where money is tight, ideas are unorthodox and where living life to the full is the goal.As her parents’ unconventional lifestyle rubs against the grain of a pervasive Catholic society, the cracks begin to appear: siblings are expelled from school; final demands litter the hallway; and Hilary discovers the truth about the always-present but never-to-be-mentioned golden-haired lady. Hopscotch is a funny, poignant and beautifully written memoir, a spellbinding meditation on innocence, love and memory itself.
