La agenda roja / by Lundberg, Sofia,1974-author.(CARDINAL)803658; Translation of (work):Lundberg, Sofia,1974-Röda adressboken.; Ramos, Carlos(Translator),translator.(CARDINAL)805608;

"Doris, de 96 años, ha tenido la misma agenda desde 1928. Ese librito rojo, que su padre le regaló de niña, contiene su propio collar de perlas, las personas a las que ha conocido y querido a lo largo de su vida. Ahora Doris vive sola en un apartamento del centro de Estocolmo y muchos de los nombres de su agenda aparecen tachados, y las únicas visitas que recibe son las del servicio de atención a la tercera edad. Su principal fuente de alegría son las llamadas vía Skype de su único familiar, su sobrina nieta Jenny, que vive en California, al otro lado del Atlántico. Un día Doris empieza a escribir la historia de cómo conoció a las personas que dieron forma a su vida, para que Jenny pueda compartir su posesión más valiosa: los recuerdos de su azarosa e increíble vida, primero como doncella en Estocolmo y como modelo de alta costura después en París, su amistad con uno de los más brillantes artistas de la época, o su llegada a Nueva York en los albores de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Se desvelarán secretos de familia ... ¿y qué habrá sido de Allan, su gran amor de juventud?"--Page 4 of cover.

Tinkers / by Harding, Paul,1967-(CARDINAL)493337;

An old man lies dying. Confined to bed in his living room, he sees the walls around him begin to collapse, the windows come loose from their sashes, and the ceiling plaster fall off in great chunks, showering him with a lifetime of debris: newspaper clippings, old photographs, wool jackets, rusty tools, and the mangled brass works of antique clocks. Soon, the clouds from the sky above plummet down on top of him, followed by the stars, till the black night covers him like a shroud. He is hallucinating, in death throes from cancer and kidney failure. A methodical repairer of clocks, he is now finally released from the usual constraints of time and memory to rejoin his father, an epileptic, itinerant peddler, whom he had lost seven decades before. In his return to the wonder and pain of his impoverished childhood in the backwoods of Maine, he recovers a natural world that is at once indifferent to man and inseparable from him, menacing and awe inspiring.Pulitzer Prize, 2010.
