La canción del ángel: una novela
Par Sheila Walsh. 2011
"Ann Fletcher has returned to Charleston to see her younger sister Sarah receive her master's degree. But she soon finds…
herself riding in the back of an ambulance, watching helplessly as Sarah fights for her life. As they race to the hospital, Sarah talks to someone who is not there...and hums a melody Ann has never heard before. That unfamiliar, unearthly beautiful melody keeps finding Ann--first in the hospital chapel, then in her dreams, and finally in Sarah's empty house. Two neighbors have a profound effect on Ann. Ethan McKinney lends her a shoulder to lean on. And as a carpenter, he volunteers to help Ann get the Fletcher family home into shape for selling. His strong presence is a pleasing distraction. Ann's twelve-year-old neighbor, Keith, has Down Syndrome and the guile to believe he can actually see and hear angels. In fact, he insists they are looking out for her in ways she's never imagined. God begins to reveal himself to Ann--both in her newfound friends and through supernatural events. As she discovers the very real presence of angels around her, will she finally open her heart to receive God's healing love?" -- GoodreadsEcos

Par Pedro A González Moreno. 2018
"A suicide and a mysterious murder serve as the starting point for this story in which two recent university graduates…
face a mission that will change their lives forever: to locate some ancient medieval theater books. Thus begins a thrilling search in which the characters will end up finding themselves and their own destiny, outlining at the same time the portrait of a bridge generation that struggled to find its own space in the Spain of the late seventies and early eighties. A gripping story of intrigue, of ambitions and grudges, of love and heartbreak, of frustrations and desires, where the murkiest and the noblest feelings intermingle and clash dramatically, always against the backdrop of the theatrical world, that metaliterary space in which, as in a game of mirrors, not everything is what it seems...."

Par Homero Aridjis. 2013
"The narrative takes place in Smyrna, the birthplace of Nicias, a former Greek army captain, where he returns after a…
long period of combat. The sadness in the air is the product of the inevitable Greek defeat and the constant memories from before the war. However, even under the constant threat of the Turks, Nicias undertakes the search for love, embodied in the figure of Eurydice, the beloved young woman he abandoned when he enlisted in the army. It is this quest that restores harmony to the spirit and body of Nicias. The reader of Smyrna in Flames will discover that the brutal and bloodthirsty events typical of a wartime conflict are masterfully cushioned by Aridjis' poetic language." -- Translation provided by NLSEn un instante: el amor lo cambia todo

Par Homero Aridjis. 2011
"In these pages the author places himself after the end of the millennium and, with an apocalyptic tone, prophesies the…
evils that will befall a mythical Moctezuma city, a future metaphor for today's Mexico City, scene of frequent ecological disasters and capital of the end of the era of the Fifth Sun. Above the catastrophes and the difficulty of living in a city of such magnitude, the characters wander with their own burden of love and heartbreak, as happens to Luis Antonio with his sister-in-law María, identical twin of Rosalba, his deceased wife. Yo Sánchez uses theater as a lighting technique and is linked to the family of the protagonists. This is a dizzying play, loaded with irony and black humor, that carries the questioning of the human being in the megalopolis." -- Translation provided by NLSBeso: Ella Te Roba Más Que El Corazón

Par Patricio Pron. 2011
"A young writer, living abroad, returns home to his native Argentina to say good-bye to his dying father. In his…
parents' house, he finds a cache of documents--articles, maps, photographs--and unwittingly begins to unearth his father's obsession with the disappearance of a local man. Suddenly he comes face-to-face with the ghosts of Argentina's dark political past and with the long-hidden memories of his family's underground resistance against an oppressive military regime. As the fragments of the narrator's investigation fall into place--revealing not only a part of his father's life he had tried to forget but also the legacy of an entire generation--|My Fathers' Ghost Is Climbing in the Rain| tells a completely original story of family and remembrance. It is an audacious accomplishment by an internationally acclaimed voice poised to garner equal acclaim in America." -- GoodreadsNosotros caminamos en sueños
Par Patricio Pron. 2014
"A stupid war, an invisible enemy, confused governors, a battlefield, the Falkland Islands, and a narrator that unveils the truths…
and lies behind all this with freshness and irony. «Do not judge the war in terms of beauty. In fact, it is like people: it has to be beautiful inside, because it is too ugly on the outside». A bomb remains in mid air and resists falling. Exhausted and hungry soldiers look up and they wonder if all wars are like that. They do not know who the enemy is or where he is, but they keep walking in dreams, like sleepwalkers, fighting for a piece of land that does not belong to anyone, defending a country that floats on a subsoil of misery and corruption. There is nothing normal or predictable in |We Walk in Dreams|, the edited and extended version of the novel where Patricio Pron told «not what really happened or could have happened, but what happened indeed, although only in the childish imagination» of the author, who was six years old when the war between Argentina and Great Britain started. |We Walk in Dreams| talks about that confrontation, but the true theme of this comic novel is what happens when people kill on behalf of nationalism, what happens when common sense leaves room for cowardice and stupidity disguised as patriotism. Pron's view is a satire of all wars, a story simultaneously inhabited by the spirits of Samuel Beckett, César Aira, Martin Amis and Fogwill that only take the reader as prisoner." -- Provided by publisher
