Palabra de honor
by Ana María MachadoPalabra de honor es la historia de una saga familiar, narrada con el estilo inconfundible de una gran autora. El tío Adelino se marchó de la aldea a los muelles de Lisboa, y de allí al ancho mar. Tras su estela, el niño José decidió seguir el rumbo que le dictaba el corazón: cruzar el océano e intentar fortuna en Brasil. Con los años se convirtió en el viejo Almada, el patriarca, un hombre de palabra, la tesela de un mosaico inmenso que fue ensamblándose de generación en generación, al otro lado del Atlántico.
Palabra de madre: El poder de la maternidad
by Ibone Olza¿Qué es ser madre? Palabra de madre parte de la historia personal de la autora, como madre y como profesional de la sanidad y activista, para plantear sus contradicciones e indecisiones en torno a la experiencia maternal, así como su desconcierto acerca de cómo los sistemas de salud de nuestra sociedad han ignorado y boicoteado la sabiduría reunida en relación con ella. «Me gustaría comprender qué clase de madre he sido. Captar, aunque sea de manera fugaz, el núcleo de mi experiencia maternal. Y así, de paso, comprender mejor la experiencia maternal en su sentido más amplio: la de todas las madres. Empecé a ser consciente de la profunda escisión, de cómo los sistemas de salud han ignorado a las madres y negado sus experiencias y conocimientos, y de cómo la ausencia de ese conocimiento maternal ha dado lugar a una ciencia sesgada y en muchos casos dañina. Todo ese conocimiento basado en la evidencia científica se estrella a diario contra la realidad de una sociedad heredera de décadas y siglos de desprecio hacia la maternidad.» Así, las circunstancias personales de cada madre, a menudo tortuosas y adversas, adquieren otro matiz cuando las analizamos desde lo histórico-social. «Mis circunstancias... Tendré que volver sobre ellas para lo que me propongo: comprender a la madre que fui y a la que ahora soy, con la esperanza de que tal vez sirva para entender y cuidar mejor al resto de las madres». Sobre Palabra de madre: «Todas las madres nos merecemos este libro. Porque todas sin excepción necesitamos estas palabras balsámicas para aplacar las soledades de la maternidad contemporánea. Ibone Olza nos regala un espejo de vivencias, luchas,intuiciones, dudas y cicatrices, que de tan propias se convierten en colectivas. Este libro viene a politizar la culpa endémica (y algunas otras heridas) que se nos inocula desde una sociedad profundamente maternofóbica. Y lo hace con toda la potencia de la ternura, la empatía radical y una catártica escritura».Silvia Nanclares, autora de Quién quiere ser madre «Palabra de madre es un libro honesto y emocionante, político y poético, capaz de acompañar a todas las madres que tienen todavía heridas abiertas en el cuerpo y en la memoria. Ibone Olza ha escrito este libro para todas nosotras. Y también para una sociedad que sigue dando la espalda a las madres».Carmen G. de la Cueva, autora de Mamá, quiero ser feminista

But while death waits on the horizon for Violet, an earthquake sets a series of events in motion and her deeply hidden past begins to resurface.

Palm Beach: A Summer Beach Read
by Mary Adkins“Difficult to put down. . . . The novel is itself like a sandy beach, equal parts beautiful and uncomfortable. . . . Lines blur and expectations aren’t met, keeping readers on their toes. . . . makes for a surprisingly fast-paced Palm Beach.” —Associated PressA thought-provoking page-turner from the author of When You Read This and Privilege that captures the painful divide between the haves and have-nots and the seductive lure of the American dream. Living in a tiny Queens apartment, Rebecca and her husband Mickey typify struggling, 30-something New Yorkers—he’s an actor, and she’s a freelance journalist. But after the arrival of their baby son, the couple decides to pack up and head for sunny, comfortable Palm Beach, where Mickey’s been offered a sweet deal managing the household of a multimillionaire Democratic donor. Once there, he quickly doubles his salary by going to work for a billionaire: venture capitalist Cecil Stone. Rebecca, a writer whose beat is economic inequality, is initially horrified: she pillories men like Stone, a ruthless businessman famous for crushing local newspapers. So no one is more surprised than her when she accepts a job working for Cecil’s wife as a ghostwriter, thinking of the excellent pay and the rare, inside look at this famous Forbes-list family. What she doesn’t expect is that she’ll grow close to the Stones, or become a regular at their high-powered dinners. And when a medical crisis hits, it’s the Stones who come to their rescue, using their power, influence, and wealth to avert catastrophe. As she and Mickey are both pulled deeper into this topsy-turvy household, they become increasingly dependent on their problematic benefactors. Then when she discovers a shocking secret about the Stones, Rebecca will have to decide: how many compromises can one couple make?
