        All Good and All Evil

        by Care Santos

        True love hides the biggest secret. Care Santos is back with a story that goes straight to the heart. Reina is a strong, independent woman, a respected professional whose career is based on her uncanny ability to sniff out who is who and to know when people are lying to her. During a business trip, she receives the news that her one son, a teenager she had always thought was happy, has attempted suicide. Overwhelmed by panic and the need to be by his side, she tries to make it back home, but a terrible winter storm leaves her stranded in Bucharest overnight. She is forced to wait it out, with nothing but her cellphone and her memories to help her try and understand what might have pushed her son to take such a choice. Her thoughts put her on the road to the truth, recollecting the people her son knew and the places he frequented, only to discover how little she really knows about him. In this journey inside herself, she will reconstruct not only Alberto’s life, but also her own, interwoven with recollections of her ex-partner and her current husband, and in this way, we will come to know the fragile web of relationships that underpins her life.

        30 Ways to Doff your Hat

        by Elvira Lindo

        30 Ways to Doff Your Hat is a selection of thirty literary pieces in which Elvira Lindo portrays female artists, painters, writers, actresses, and photographers who pursue their work at the margins of the conventional male canon that looms over society, and who have managed to make their mark doing so. Elvira Lindo, one of the most distinguished figures on the contemporary Spanish scene, retraces her path in life and in art, incorporating her own self-portrait into this pantheon of female artists. The author’s voice is the guiding thread that runs through each of these essays: through her experience, through her gaze, Elvira Lindo invites the reader to analyze the era and the accomplishments of these pioneering women whose brilliance, tenacity, and free spirit led them to blaze new trails for future generations. Throughout history, many women have felt obliged to doff their hat before rules imposed by a society that has isolated them from the male-dominated intellectual community. In this narrative mosaic, Elvira Lindo’s astonishing prose reveals her boundless empathy, erudition, and eclectic and inquisitive spirit. Portrayed artists: Astrid Lindgren, Anna Frank, Concepción Josefa Pantaleona, María Guerrero, Elena Fortún, Gloria Fuertes, Adelaida García Morales, Tristana, Louisa May Alcott, Carson McMullers, Patricia Highsmith, Victoria Kent, Alice Munro, Mary Beard, Monica Zgustova, Chimamanda Adichie Ngozie, Margaret Atwood, Edna O’Brien, Joan Didion, Lucia Berlin, Dorothy Parker, Angelika Schrobsdorff, Sally Mann, Joyce Maynard, Marjorie Eliot, Vivian Gornick, Olivia Laing, Nelle Harper Lee, Grace Paley, Elvira Lindo.

        Why Cities Cry

        by Elisa Levi

        Ada is a Spanish girl, twenty-eight years old, who lives in Copenhagen. She left Madrid years ago fleeing her life and her family there. She leads a normal life with her girlfriend Nadine and her dog Clara, but she feels permanently unsettled and has to take Lexatin to face her day-to-day life. Her two refuges are writing and her friendship with Denis, her best friend and soul mate from childhood. Gay like her, he is the perfect accomplice: he writes, like her, and he too left Spain, where he lived with his aunt after being abandoned by his parents, for Japan. The novel begins with Ada forced to fly to Japan to bury Denis, who has committed suicide. Consumed by bottomless grief, Ada travels through a country unknown and ungraspable for her, trying to understand Denis’s reasons for killing himself. While there, Ada will discover secrets, not only about Denis, but about herself, and will learn the lesson her friend taught her: to save a life, you must learn what makes the cities cry. Why Cities Cry is a novel of feelings, a poetic narrative about lovelessness, about accepting oneself, about the fear of disappointing expectations and the frustration of not achieving happiness when we think that should be our life’s goal. A novel for the nineties generation.
