Perdu en chemin (Contes d'un étrange livre de cuisine #3)
by J. N. Marie SextonContes d'un étrange livre de cuisine, numéro hors sérieTrois mois après avoir perdu ses parents dans un accident de voiture, Daniel Whitaker, météorologue à Denver, retourne à Laramie dans le Wyoming. Il lui est déjà suffisamment difficile de faire face à la mort de ses parents et à sa relation de quinze ans qui ne cesse de se dégrader, mais lorsqu’il retrouve sa maison d’enfance sens dessus dessous, il se voit complètement désemparé. Il se tourne alors vers Landon, le voisin séduisant de ses parents, et lui demande son aide afin de ranger tout le désordre. Landon Kushner est une contradiction humaine. Il fabrique des sculptures époustouflantes à partir de débris de métal et adore le plein air, mais il conduit également une Vespa vert menthe et possède un faible pour le tricot et le voyeurisme. Il a été l’ami des parents de Daniel durant de nombreuses années et est ravi de pouvoir lui prêter main-forte. Leur plan est simple : ranger et nettoyer la maison afin que Daniel puisse la vendre et reprendre le cours de sa vie à Denver. Mais lorsqu’un étrange livre de recettes de cuisine atterrit en la possession de Landon, Daniel se met à réaliser que l’univers – et Grand-Mère B – lui a peut-être réservé un autre destin.

Leur relation est plus forte que jamais, mais le couple réalise très vite qu'il faut plus que du sexe et trois mots magiques pour réussir une vie à deux.

Peregrina: Love And Death In Mexico (Louann Atkins Temple Women And Culture Ser. #16)
by Alma Reed«Una de las historias de amor y de entrega más apasionantes del siglo XX mexicano.» Elena Poniatowska En agosto de 2001 y de manera casi milagrosa, se descubrió, en un departamento abandonado de la Ciudad de México, el manuscrito que conforma esta fascinante autobiografía, desaparecida desde noviembre de 1966, cuando falleció su autora, Alma M. Reed. Una apasionante historia oculta durante más de cincuenta años en la que Alma relata sus primeras visitas a México como enviada especial de The New York Times Magazine para acompañar a la expedición del Instituto Carnegie. Fue en México donde los caminos de Alma y Felipe Carrillo Puerto, el entonces gobernador de Yucatán -considerado por muchos como el Abraham Lincoln de México-, se entrelazan desde su primer encuentro en una intensa historia de amor, cuya magia y dolor están nítidamente reconstruidos en las páginas de Peregrina.
La peregrina
by Isabel San SebastiánLa apasionante aventura que dio origen al Camino de Santiago. Isabel San Sebastián vuelve a la novela histórica con una nueva aventura de Alana de Coaña, La visigoda, su personaje más famoso, y nos ofrece un viaje fascinante al origen de un camino que cambió la historia del mundo. Año 827. En su pequeña corte guerrera, Alfonso II el Casto, rey de Asturias y aliado de Carlomagno, recibe una extraordinaria noticia: en un bosque próximo a Iria Flavia, allá donde termina el mundo, han aparecido los restos del apóstol Santiago. ¿Es posible tal prodigio? El rey decide acudir al lugar, a fin de aclarar el misterio. En la comitiva marchan nobles enredados en intrigas, fieros soldados, cautivos sarracenos, monjes custodios de turbios secretos... un fiel reflejo de ese tiempo turbulento, cuyo epicentro es un rey determinado a salvar su reino. Y junto a él cabalga Alana, con la esperanza de encontrar a su hijo desaparecido y el desafío de narrar, sin saberlo, la primera peregrinación jacobea de la Historia. «Me llamo Alana. Por mis venas corre sangre astur y sangre goda. Sirvo a don Alfonso el Magno, rey de Asturias. Mis ojos cansados han visto horrores sin cuento, pero antes de cerrarse para siempre tal vez puedan contemplar el lugar donde reposa el apóstol Santiago» Unas reliquias misteriosas, un destino incierto, un viaje que sentará los cimientos del camino más famoso de la cristiandad. Nota de la autora:La peregrina narra la historia real de la peregrinación que realizó Alfonso II en el siglo IX desde la capital del reino de Asturias hasta un bosque perdido en el Finis Terrae, en pos de las legendarias reliquias del apóstol Santiago. Se dice que dicho viaje sentó las bases del actual Camino de Santiago. A partir de una labor de documentaciónexhaustiva y de mi cariño sincero por las tierras asturianas y gallegas, he novelado esa aventura en forma de diario, desde el punto de vista de una mujer, Alana de Coaña. Pero, además, he considerado de interés para el lector aficionado a la Historia hacerle partícipe de algunos datos reales contrastados, así como del origen de ciertas tradiciones especialmente arraigadas en nuestra cultura. Como hubiera sido demasiado farragoso incluirlos en la narración, y a fin de hacer lo más completo posible el fresco de las circunstancias veraces en las que se produjo este hallazgo crucial, el libro incluye un apartado de notas que profundizan en la documentación histórica. Asimismo, me ha parecido atractivo incluir una guía del primer Camino de Santiago y su correlación en la novela. El lector curioso podrá compararlo con el actual Camino Primitivo, prácticamente idéntico, y también seguir los pasos de los personajes de La peregrina desde Oviedo hasta Compostela. Un reto que vale la pena. Los invito a acompañarme a este viaje a través del espacio y el tiempo.Isabel San Sebastián La crítica ha dicho:«Isabel San Sebastián trufa la novela de detalles maravillosos que hacen de la historia un portento. Fascinante.»J. A. Juristo, ABC Cultural Con La peregrina (2018), Isabel San Sebastián ha ganado el Premio Internacional Pentafinium Jacobeo 2016-2019 en la modalidad de Literatura.

The Perfect Age: A Novel
by Heather SkylerA sun-baked, beautifully observed debut for readers who loved Amy and Isabelle--a mother and daughter come of age in Las Vegas. Helen is just fifteen, lanky and striking. She is a lifeguard at the pool at The Dunes hotel this summer--her first job, a step toward independence in a world beginning to treat her as an adult and a woman. Her mother, Kathy, watching Helen grow up, suddenly finds herself in a place equally uncertain: her children getting older, her stable marriage perhaps too stable, the slow days of summer leaving her adrift. When she meets Helen's boss, the manager at the pool, she chooses an affair that opens her to the idea of a different sort of life. Following Helen and Kathy through three summers, this novel is an intimate picture of two sexual awakenings under one roof and their aftershocks on a family. Heather Skyler shows us that the validity of life's deepest experiences--love, betrayal, acceptance--is never compromised by age. Reading group guide included.

The Perfect Arrangement: An October Wedding Story
by Katie GanshertThey’ve helped orchestrate the perfect day for countless couples. Now twelve new couples will find themselves in the wedding spotlight in the second Year of Weddings novella collection. Meeting Nate was truly an accident—but Amelia finds that he’s one of the few people she can count on. Amelia Woods is a small-town wallflower and the proud owner of Forget-Me-Nots, a quaint flower shop that once belonged to her mother. Despite her success in business, her love life has always been a bit lackluster. Until she spies on her ex-boyfriend’s wedding and ends up in a horrifyingly embarrassing fender-bender with handsome wedding guest, Nate Gallagher. Meanwhile, Amelia’s younger brother, William, has proposed to his girlfriend. Amelia would be excited except she has evidence that the fiancée is not who she says she is. How can she be supportive and yet be the protective big sister too? It seems Nate is the only one available for any advice-giving, and he’s good at it—and pretty fun to talk to, too. Amelia and Nate strike up an online relationship, but always lingering in Amelia’s mind is the fear that he’ll realize she’s not nearly as appealing in real life. As Amelia works to craft the perfect flower arrangements for other people—including a ninety-year-old “fairy godmother” named George—she begins to wonder if real love is better than the dream. And if it is, will Nate still be interested when he learns who she is?
