NOVEDADES

TODO PROYECTA UNA SOMBRA. INCLUSO EL MUNDO EN EL QUE VIVIMOS. Y COMO OCURRE CON TODA SOMBRA, HAY UN LUGAR DONDE ESTA SE UNE CON LO QUE LA GENERA. Lo único que Olivia Prior conserva de su pasado es el diario de su madre. Entonces recibe una carta invitándola a regresar a Gallant, su hogar. Pero cuando llega, nadie la está esperando. Sin embargo, Olivia no está dispuesta a marcharse. No importa si su primo Matthew es desagradable con ella, o si ve espíritus rondando por los pasillos. Olivia sabe que Gallant oculta secretos, y está decidida a descubrirlos. Cuando cruza una pared en ruinas, llega a un lugar que es Gallant, pero que a la vez no lo es. La mansión se está desmoronando, los espíritus son sólidos y una misteriosa figura lo gobierna todo. Olivia siempre ha querido pertenecer a algún lugar, pero ¿tomará su lugar como una Prior, protegiendo a nuestro mundo contra el Señor de la Casa? ¿O bien ocupará un lugar junto a él?

After yet another disastrous date where Jess is too awkward, too earnest, too whatever, she’s ready to put her romantic daydreams aside. Other than an enchanting Irish accent, her latest date is no prince charming. Then the night goes from bad to worse when she’s mugged in the parking lot and hits her head. Hard. Hard enough that when Jess wakes up, she’s in Ireland. The first person she meets is Eamonn, a quiet, gruff mechanic. Since Jess is stranded with no passport, cell phone, or way to get home, Eamonn becomes her reluctant knight in shining armor. Over the next forty-eight hours, they meander through the cobblestone streets of Dublin and explore the Irish countryside, sharing their deepest fears, quiet hopes, and softest aches. It’s a connection that is as electrifying as it is terrifying, because what if Jess falls asleep and Eamonn vanishes like a dream? But a love like this—touched by magic and a little bit of luck—is never quite as it seems.

Born a slave in Maryland, Harriet Tubman knew first-hand what it meant to be someone’s property; she was whipped by owners and almost killed by an overseer. It was from other field hands that she first heard about the Underground Railroad which she travelled by herself north to Philadelphia. Throughout her long life (she died at the age of ninety-two) and long after the Civil War brought an end to slavery, this amazing woman was proof of what just one person can do.

Lysa TerKeurst, el Dr. Joel Muddamalle y el consejero profesional Jim Cress, presentadores del podcast Therapy and Theology, [Terapia y teología], ayudan a los lectores a entender lo que dice la Biblia sobre cómo sobrevivir a la muerte de un matrimonio mientras se busca la integridad y la sanación.

La presente obra podría considerarse como una suerte de complemento de Los libros de la isla desierta. Escritores dominicanos reflexionan sobre su libro predilecto, colección que publiqué en 2013 en la Editorial Santuario. De igual manera que este primer libro, este cuestionario fue acogido con interés y curiosidad por los 47 escritores que accedieron a someterse al escrutinio proustiano. Las tareas de contacto, recopilación y edición se prolongaron durante varios meses de 2025. Dedico este libro a la memoria de José Rafael Lantigua, cuya enfermedad y muerte a destiempo le impidieron enviarme sus respuestas. Descanse en paz. Carlos X.

Years ago, Nora Bridge walked out on her marriage and left her daughters behind. She has since become a famous radio talk-show host and newspaper columnist beloved for her moral advice. Her youngest daughter, Ruby, is a struggling comedienne who uses her famous mother as fuel for her bitter, cynical humor. When the tabloids unearth a scandalous secret from Nora’s past, their estrangement suddenly becomes dramatic: Nora is injured in an accident and a glossy magazine offers Ruby a fortune to write a tell-all about her mother. Under false pretenses, Ruby returns home to take care of the woman she hasn’t spoken to for almost a decade. Nora insists they retreat to Summer Island in the San Juans, to the lovely old house on the water where Ruby grew up, a place filled with childhood memories of love and joy and belonging. There Ruby is also reunited with her first love and his brother. Once, the three of them had been best friends, inseparable. Until the summer that Nora had left and everyone’s hearts had been broken. . . . What began as an expose evolves, as Ruby writes, into an exploration of her family’s past. Nora is not the woman Ruby has hated all these years. Witty, wise, and vulnerable, she is desperate to reconcile with her daughter. As the magazine deadline draws near and Ruby finishes what has begun to seem to her an act of brutal betrayal, she is forced to grow up and at last to look at her mother—and herself—through the eyes of a woman. And she must, finally, allow herself to love.
