        I will follow in your footsteps

        by Care Santos

        By the author of Half-Life (Nadal Prize 2017), a new novel about family relationships that reflects on the ways a secret from the past can make our future come tumbling down. Reina receives an unexpected call from the mayor of a small village in the Pyrenees. Renovation work on the cemetery has forced them to open up some of the more neglected tombs, among them her father’s. The mayor begs her to do something about his remains and invites her to a solemn ceremony.There is, in addition, a delicate matter he would like to speak to her about, one far from easy to discuss: the discover of another body next to her father’s. Surprised, Reina has no idea who it could be; she knows next to nothing about the man except that he killed himself forty-five years ago, and her mother tried her entire life to conceal it. Against her will, she goes to the village to put things in order.A journey that will take Reina to a tiny town in the heart of Catalonia, but also to a faraway past to the thirtys when her father was a young man in love.

A night that has one more surprise in store.“She couldn’t say if it was because Nis had asked her or because she had let herself be dragged along. But she had come. It was two weeks ago.

        Forget Atlas

        by Teresa Ibars

        Atles de l’oblit parla d’uns racons de la memòria, del paisatge i de les emocions que, com un quadre impressionista farcit de petites pinzellades, han configurat una percepció de la realitat i una manera de ser. Mitjançant un viatge que porta l’autora al cor d’un territori, el Baix Segre, i a la vida d’uns personatges, potser ja majoritàriament oblidats, en aquest llibre es fa un exercici voluntari de recordar per comprendre. Perquè quan una persona deixa de viure en un lloc i, per tant, engega un cert camí d’oblit, o veu com son pare comença a oblidar per culpa d’una malaltia que se’l menja, pot ser que aquesta persona adquireixi la clara consciència que tornar sempre resulta impossible i quan hom té aquesta certesa tan sols queda entomar qui som i on som de nou.

        Care Under Fire

        by Bill Strusinski

        For many surviving military veterans, the Vietnam War is an indelible part of their lives. That they survived is due in many cases to the heroic, life-saving actions of combat medics like Bill "Doc" Strusinski. Being a frontline medic was, and still is, one of the most dangerous jobs in the Army. Medics were targeted by the enemy and often called upon to aid fallen soldiers in the line of fire. In Strusinski's riveting book, Care Under Fire, Strusinski thrusts the reader squarely into moments of terror during firefights, the exhaustion of endless patrols, the anguish of losing buddies despite best efforts to save them, and the intimate bonds created during times of desperate need. This is a book about war, yes, but even more about how one man was transformed by his "sacred duty" to offer care under fire to the young soldiers he fought beside.
